Inducing Labor - 40+ Natural Ways To Induce Labor On Your Own

by Wrylilt

Natural induction is only a helping hand - it's usually gentle enough that it won't bring on labor if your body isn't ready. It's not recommended for use before 39-40 weeks.

You should do your own research on any natural induction method before trying it. Make sure you know the risks and are taking the correct amount of any herbal product and don't overstrain yourself with labor inducing exercises.

System failed Abdifatah

by Yahoo!

The failure in the county child protection system could hardly have been more abject. Ten-year-old Abdifatah Mohamud was beaten to death last week, a year after he twice called 911 to report that his stepfather was abusing him.

Now the stepfather, Ali Mohamed Mohamud, is charged with murdering the boy. Not just murdering, but bludgeoning, even torturing. Police say the elder Mohamud tied his stepson's hands, stuffed a sock in his mouth and taped it shut with duct tape. Then, they say, Mohamud took a baker's rolling pin and, not once or twice, but 70 times struck the boy, who a full year earlier had cried out for help.

by Yesenia Amaro

The mother of a 17-month-old toddler and a 2-month-old baby who suffered neglect under the care of their foster parents is suing Clark County, several Clark County Department of Family Services' employees and the foster parents.

Former foster parents Andrea Hernandez, 38, and her husband, Waldo Hernandez, 40, were sentenced in March to five years of probation for failing to properly care for the two foster children last year. "Clark County (Department of Family Services) had guidelines for determining the appropriate priority of hotline calls, but failed to adequately train its hotline staff workers as to those guidelines," The complaint alleges.

Longer stays, increasing population plague county emergency shelter for children

by Yesenia Amaro

Abused and neglected children are staying longer and showing up in greater numbers at a Clark County-run emergency shelter, causing it to surpass its licensed capacity and raising concerns among child welfare advocates.

As of Tuesday, there were 56 children staying at the shelter on Pecos Road near Bonanza Road, according to Kristi Jourdan, Family Services spokeswoman. That number hit 83 in mid-April. The shelter's capacity is 56, according to Latisha Brown, a child care licensing program manager with the state Department of Health and Human Services. The average number of children at Child Haven is usually about 25. The county is working with the state to expand the shelter's capacity.

Natural Easter Egg Dye Recipes

by Yvonne Feld

Easter rapidly approaching, I knew that mom's everywhere would soon be thinking about coloring Easter eggs for the hunts that will be taking place all over.

We've always got fruits and vegetables on hand, as my husband is a juicing fiend. I knew it would be easy to gather exactly what I needed to have a wide variety of colors. Brown onions, red onions, beets, blueberries, spinach, red cabbage, turmeric, and paprika.
