Cuffed With A Chicken

After being charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury, false imprisonment, and cruelty to animals, Dorian Lee Harper and Wanda Sue Larson are in some serious trouble. Police in North Carolina found a foster child at the age of only 11 to he handcuffed to the front porch in the cold with a dead chicken around his neck. The boy was adopted along with 4 other kids and were all taken away to an agency where they will be cared for until new placement is found. Larson also worked with social services so is also getting charged for those faults. Being handcuffed apparently was a form of discipline. A $500,000.00 bond is set and authorities are still investigating.

(Insert Name Here)

We've all heard of the one child per household rule that applies in many overcrowded countries such as China. When you are that second child, what happens to you? The twenty year old dreams of one day going to school and being like all of the other kids but she is that second child and because of this has no identity. She was an unexpected and unplanned for baby but her parents decided to go on with the pregnancy and now she is paying the consequences. Along with not being able to attend school she also is not covered under any medical insurance and her parent's only way to avoid this is by paying a fine of $820.00 in which they cannot afford. Education is something many people often take for granted, and complain about. Maybe you should think about that next time you walk into your school building.

Holocaust via E Bay

After discovering items  from the Holocaust were reported "for sale" on E Bay, the company has been put into the middle of a big controversy. A British Sunday newspaper reported people finding items such as concentration camp uniforms and armbands with the yellow Star of David on it up for bidding. Spokesmen say they are very sorry and have already taken hold of the situation and have removed the items. 30 items were reported removed from the site and in return the company has made a donation of $40,000.00 to charity expression their sincere apology. It is disgusting to think people like this would even think about doing something so inhumane. What has our world come to?
