Set in NYC (it’s a clip from SVU) but Whoopi really brings it as a social worker who’s been drowning for twenty years and has had just about e-fucking-nuff.

Mandated reporter here...it never hurts to report if you have genuine concerns. Let the authorities sort it out. You never know if your report will be the 3rd, or the 4th, or whichever one will be the one that triggers action (sadly, sometimes it takes multiple reports, especially in 'mild' situations)!

I don't know if I really endorse this comment, I'm just glad I'm not the only person who checks Facebook when I read about arrests.

How many dead dogs per classroom these days?

You think the ratio of teachers/aides to students should be better than 1/4? That’s a true fantasy and, frankly, completely unnecessary. 1/20 would be nice though.

High Desert: Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy (Come see our poppy reserve!)

Rural Southern California is scary. And I’m from rural Appalachia so that’s saying something.

Counterpoint: is the perfect place to stop for InNOut between Vegas and LA/SoCal

Victorville? STORY CHECKS OUT.

Having 20 kids would be uninhabitable for me too. I'm glad they saved those poor women from such cruel conditions.

Victorville is a shithole. Was there for work last week and had to cut short filling my gas tank because I felt my personal safety was at risk at the station. It’s in the high desert where there’s lots of land and space to do whatever the fuck you want without people knowing. I know situations like this exist but it…

The only way I could see this law being legally enforceable is if the dealer knowingly sold something other (and much stronger)than what they were claiming to sell. As in the instances of where people thought they were buying Norco, but it was really fentanyl. It would still be a stretch. And when can we start…

One of my high school classmates ended up committing suicide when he was charged for selling weed to someone who then drove under the influence and was killed in a crash. This was the story, at least. It was back in 2000, so details are kind of fuzzy.

Agreed. Yes, she sold her the drugs, but she did not cause her to overdose. It’s ludicrous.

I read something recently that said something like 4 out of 5 heroin users started on prescription pills. Yet not a peep from anyone about that.

This is ridiculous and insane.

You make a good point, but I have little time for the “anti-male bias” BS.

I was willing to extend the benefit of the doubt

Conflating rape recidivism rates with pedophile/ephebophile rates is an error.
