Sally Clark dies at family home
Sally Clark - the solicitor wrongly jailed for murdering her two sons - has died, her family has announced.
Mrs Clark, 42, was jailed in 1999 for killing her 11-week-old son Christopher in December 1996 and eight-week-old Harry in January 1998. A first appeal against the convictions failed in 2000 but she was freed in 2003 after a fresh appeal.

Do Not Sign AAP or other self-incriminating Vaccine Refusal forms
by Ingri Cassel
Some doctors are giving patients who chose not to vaccine their children a form to sign created by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
This form varies from state to state but basically it is a total propaganda sheet about the alleged value of vaccines, the alleged "risk" of not vaccinating and even worse the parent who signs the form is falsely "admitting" that they are putting their children at risk.

The laboratory-created rice produces some of the human proteins found in breast milk and saliva. Its U.S. developers say they could be used to treat children with diarrhoea, a major killer in the Third World.

Child Protector Watch
by Ray Thomas
An information source for those who care about families and children
The power brokers are now at "stage two" in their campaign to take control, not only of what our kids are taught in school, but control over all decisions that are made about them. They want to completely discredit parents by convincing everybody that the biggest majority of parents abuse their children

Innocence Lost: Child Witnesses In Court
by Stephen J. Ceci, Ph.D. and Eduardus de Bruyn, M.A.
As a result of society's reaction to dramatic increases in reports of abuse and neglect, children increasingly are being admitted as witnesses in juvenile and criminal proceedings.
The scientific research on the suggestibility of children's recollections is contradictory and confusing. Although the historical literature on children's suggestibility, with only two exceptions, led to jaundiced portrayal of children's suggestibility-proneness, the most recent studies are more equivocal in their conclusions about children's testimonial competence...

Day 1: How state's big system failed this little boy
by Ruby L. Bailey, Jack Kresnak and Tina Lam
In photos, Isaac Lethbridge looks like a mischievous, dimpled elf. He has a big grin and electric blue eyes in a cheery, heart-shaped face. Isaac traveled a painful journey in his 2 1/2 years.
He was neglected by his parents, moved through three troubled foster homes in less than a year and was dead by last Aug. 16, beaten and burned, his collarbone broken. What happened to him under state supervision exposes a child welfare system so overwhelmed and lax in its oversight that, despite attempts at reform, children still are being placed in danger.

Tenn. court says Chinese parents can reclaim girl, 7, at center of dispute with U.S. couple
by Woody Baird
The Tennessee Supreme Court cleared the way Tuesday for a Chinese couple to be reunited with the daughter they had placed in foster care with an American family nearly eight years ago.
The court overturned a decision by a Memphis judge who had taken away the parental rights of Shaoqiang and Qin Luo He, ruling that they had abandoned the child. That decision attracted widespread publicity and was criticized as ethnically biased.

Elaine's Story of Foster Abuse
by Elaine H. Greene
There are a lot of people who become Foster Parents just for the money and there are Foster Parents who want to adopt and use the system for their own selfish needs.
My daughter was barely 6 months old when she was removed from my home. I was totally shocked when the Social worker told me I would sign adoption papers for my daughter or they would take away the other two children.

One generation is all they need
by Kevin Haggerty
By the time my four-year-old son is swathed in the soft flesh of old age, he will likely find it unremarkable that he and almost everyone he knows will be permanently implanted with a microchip.
Automatically tracking his location in real time, it will connect him with databases monitoring and recording his smallest behavioural traits. Most people anticipate such a prospect with a sense of horrified disbelief, dismissing it as a science-fiction fantasy.
