And the answer is "NO"

You all know that I like to help people out, and that I like to post screen captures of my stat referrals. (Okay, so normally they are the bad ones... but hang in here with me for a moment)

Today's screen capture left me laughing. And made me realise that amid all of the bad in the world- there's still some good. Of course, maybe the child in question isn't seeing it that way... but every parent who has supplied their little angels with TV's, phones, computers, games, toys, and gadgets know what I am talking about, especially since so few of us had all of that in our rooms when we were growing up.

(read the line on referring link to see the search terms)

No, dear friend... it's not child abuse, but thanks making me smile.

oh, Lilo. that made me sad. I know that's a dumb thing to make me sad, and in a way, it's so cute... in an innocent sort of way. I laughed, too, because you're right. I did not have ANY of that growing up. Not in my room, and not allowed to use it anyway. Even if I weren't grounded. I was actually kept locked in my room from the outside for most of my childhood... (without even being allowed to use materials to draw or color, much less use the phone!) ...but I did have books and my bed. I had to ask permission to use the bathroom.
I guess it does kind of make me smile to see that even kids with "normal" lives (being treated "normally") have times they feel mistreated, too. What a cute kid!

*laughs* Amazing, and good for those parents! My first thought though, is that the kid has been 'deprived' of all electronics except the Internet? I imagine it's for schoolwork, eh? That lucky kid has no idea what abuse is.
Thanks for sharing.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
