The other danger of Myspace

I tell you all the time: If you are going to allow your kids on the computer, then you need to be willing to carefully watch what they are doing, who they are talking to, and where in the world wide web they are clicking to.

I didn't ever imagine that I'd need to reinforce the idea that you should also be cautious on who YOU are talking too. But... clearly I do.

Michael J. Kairis was a MySpace user, and in August- he met a woman online via MySpace and eventually sat up a date with her. They had a brief romance.

The woman that he met had a MySpace page too. Her profile made mention of her young daughter, who was just six.

One week later, the girl told her mom that Kairis had raped and groped her while in her house. Kairis, of 368½ Campbell Ave., threatened to kill the girl if she told anyone.

"There couldn't be anyone more of a risk to the community than Mr. Kairis," Cook told Judge John P. Bessey.

The mother, 33, was in court yesterday to see the plea. She said she did a computer search on Kairis after her daughter told her about the sex and was shocked to find his name on a Web site of sexual predators.


Now, you know that I just have to say something here. I mean- I can't help it. You wouldn't give your car to a complete stranger to borrow- so why the hell would you leave your child alone with one- even for a moment? The simple fact is, anyone can be friendly and seem harmless online. But- IMing someone for a few weeks doesn't actually mean that you "know" them, and certainly isn't enough to say that you know them well enough to leave them with your child. Yes, I feel horrible for this mother- but I also hope that other parents will learn from this. Check out EVERYONE that is going to be in your life, or that may have possible contact with your child. It's our responsibility to maintain a safe environment for our kids- and just checking someone's MySpace profile isn't enough to do that.

On the other hand- let's put the biggest blame where it sits. This guy is now a two time loser- with this conviction for raping a child and a past conviction for raping a child. He should have never been out after the first... and the choice to allow him out after only 12 years this time is nothing but a slap in the face to society.

"There couldn't be anyone more of a risk to the community than Mr. Kairis," Cook told Judge John P. Bessey.

That's from the county prosecutor's office, out of the mouth of Assistant Prosecutor Brant Cook- who agreed to the plea deal that will allow this monster back out- while admitting to what a great danger this man is to the community. WTF? Am I the only one that sees the craziness in that? Honestly people... better laws only work when the Judaical system is willing to let them.

Go ahead, read the whole story. It'll help you understand just why we keep seeing repeat offenders raping and molesting children.

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.

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...

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 ...
