Justice Department says parents have no 'right' to homeschool their children

by Vicki Batts

Three years ago, Natural News reported on a German family that was fined $10,000 and had their children forcibly removed from their home. What kind of terrible crime did the parents, Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, commit? The crime of Homeschooling. That's right; the Romeike family was fined $10,000 and lost their five children because they had chosen to homeschool them.

The Drug Docs: State's top foster care prescribers fueling medication of vulnerable kids

by Karen de Sa

For years, few questioned how doctors treated the emotional trauma of California's abused and neglected children - and nobody monitored how often they handed out psychiatric drugs that can turn fragile childhoods into battles with obesity...

Now, a Bay Area News Group investigation into the prescribing habits of the state's foster care doctors reveals for the first time how a fraction of those physicians has been fueling the medicating of California's most vulnerable kids. A mere 10 percent of the state's highest prescribers were responsible about 50 percent of the time when a foster child received an antipsychotic, the riskiest class of what are known as psychotropic drugs - with some of the most harmful side effects.

by Amy Bounds

Chalkbeat Colorado, which recently created a database of vaccination rates for schools in the state's 30 largest districts, found that the Boulder Valley School District remains a hot spot for the anti-vaccination movement.

According to Chalkbeat's analysis, more than half of the 15 schools with the highest rates of students exempt from vaccinations are in Boulder Valley. Colorado kindergartners also had the lowest vaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella in the country - 81.7 percent - in the 2013-14 school year, according to federal data.

Eight years later, Ludlow says she's firmly pro-vaccination and has fully vaccinated her daughter, who is now eight.

Idaho foster care parents are urging lawmakers to reform the current state system, saying that foster care bureaucracy has caused unnecessary heartache and frustration.

Bill would end criminalizing children for prostitution

by Melody Gutierrez

California would no longer prosecute minors for prostitution under a bill in the state Legislature, a move law enforcement agencies say would make it more difficult to prosecute pimps.

Supporters of SB1322 say many children caught selling sex are the victims of human traffickers and that prosecuting them for prostitution is not the appropriate or ethical response. The bill could come up for a vote this week in the Assembly after having already passed the state Senate.
