Arrests Follow Youth Football Game

From the Sports Desk comes this heartwarming story, in the tradition of “Hoosiers”, “Remember The Titans”, “The Mighty Ducks”, and all those wonderful movies about inspiring coaches who teach their athletes that life is about more than winning…ah, who am I kidding. Three Pennsylvania football coaches were arrested for their conduct during a game. All [...]

Milwaukie Man Found Not Guilty Of Murdering His Son

I think the problem with the justice system is the whole “jury of your peers” concept. Let’s say, for example, that you’re a registered sex offender with a history of drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence and you’re on trial for murdering your 15-month old son. Who, by the way, died of internal bleeding [...]

Parents Busted For Giving Pot To Four-Year-Old

This is a pretty fucked-up story. Christopher McKee and his wife were apparently looking for new and creative ways to bond with their 4-year old son. So they all got high and watched Spongebob. The four-year old told investigators that he smoked marijuana with his parents, who were subsequently busted. The boy and his two [...]

Singapore Man Faces Caning For Child Abuse

I gotta tell you - it can be downright depressing, working for this website. Time and again we write about these dregs of humanity who abuse kids in unspeakable ways, only to receive a slap on the wrist. Well, I think I’ve found a cure for these blues. Singapore! Turns out that the land of [...]

Mom Rents Hotel Room for Daughter’s De-Flowering

I’m a bit of an iconoclast when it comes to sex. I don’t believe it’s necessarily something you have to do with someone you love, or plan to wed til death do you part. Still, it’s something that should be undertaken deliberately, respectfully, and responsibly.
I can’t even begin to enumerate in how many ways this [...]

Belfast Parents Drive Kids To Binge Drinking Parties

Concerned that negative national stereotypes were not being reinforced, some parents in Ireland have been ferrying their kids - along with cases of Guiness and Jameson’s - to drinking parties in the Belfast woods.
Local cabs also got in on the act, acting as delivery vehicles and ferrying booze to the partygoers.
Concerned citizens in the [...]

Parents and Son Arrested For DUI

As a parent, I sorta empathize with Lori Keith and DeWayne Walker. At least they seem to take an interest in their son. Or at least an interest in keeping him out of the slammer. That’s not such a bad thing, right?
Not-so-young Derrick drove the Family Truckster into a ditch, presumably after drinking a [...]

Foster Parents Guilty Of Starving Child

Let’s cut to the chase, folks: Tammy and Chrisopher Nickel should be put to death. They tortured their adopted daughter to the point that she weighed 27 pounds…at ten years old. My kid is 18 months old. He weighs 28 pounds. And no, he is not big for his age.
The Nickels caught me on [...]

Daughter Dies Due to AIDS after Mom Refuses HIV Medications

Christine Maggoire was adamant - adamant, I tell you! - that the HIV virus did not cause AIDS. So, even though she had HIV, she saw zero reason for her to take treatment meds during pregnancy, or for her children to take the medicines after birth. What a revolutionary! What an iconoclast!
What a [...]
