Single Parents and Dating Sites

So far, I've been blessed. I've never had to manage the life of a "single parent". And, I really hope that I never have too. I can't begin to imagine the stress and difficulties that come with that title- much less the havoc it causes in the dating scene. But, there are many out there that are single parents, and that are actively managing a life of raising children, and dating. While the internet has made it easier to connect with others, and opened up doors for those singles- not a month goes by without some news of the dangers that are popping up online.

Michael Bradley is just one of those dangers- just the most recent predator using the internet and online dating sites as his tool for scoping out possible victims.

Police say Michael Bradley, who was convicted of sodomizing a 15-year-old boy five years ago, was caught using the popular Match.com dating service. He was caught during a sting, while he chatted with someone he believed to be a woman with two young boys.

The sting, lead by Parents for Megan's Law, was set up with the intention of catching perverts such as Bradley- you can read the full story on the case here.

Single moms should refrain from detailing their household makeup or list the fact that they have children at home on such sites, said Laura Ahearn, the founder and director of Parents for Megan's Law.

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 ...

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...
