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.

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...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house...
