Street Kids

Seems that infamous "sleeping mom" Nancy Dyer, whose toddler son was found wondering a highway as she napped a few months, has competition for "Mother who lets their kids play in the road" award.

NBC2- A Port Charlotte mother of three was arrested for child neglect after her young son was found walking the streets unattended. When deputies finally tracked down his mother authorities say she was high on prescription drugs.

A woman who lives on Hinton Street in Port Charlotte called the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office Tuesday morning after a four-year-old boy knocked on her door and said he was lost.

When deputies arrived the boy was upset and crying, but he was able to tell them his mother's name, 29-year-old Erica Elese Hernandez.

I suppose there is nothing like being high on drugs while your children play Frogger on the streets.

Oddly enough, it doesn't end there. Yet another child (this time in PA) has taken to playing on a highway- although it appears that no charges are being sought in this case, it appears to be more of a "everyone was asleep at 3 in the morning, and a little tot too smart for his own good wondered outta the house" case than a "mother is a drug addict who can't clean up long enough to prevent her kids from getting into dangerous situations".

Philly.com A 3-year-old boy wandered outside at 3 a.m. yesterday and onto a Lancaster County highway - where a motorist found him, put him in his car, and flagged down a police officer.

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.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
