She hasn’t been refused custody. She has equal custody with her former husband. The children live with him during the school year, and they’re with her during the summer. Her ex-husband pays for her to make regular visits during the school year.

The 2013 ruling indicates that the parties had tentatively agreed to joint custody in New York, but Rutherford had her attorney threaten to have Giersch deported because she wanted full custody. So those poor kids could have been spared this trans-Atlantic battle if their mother hadn’t been so vindictive.

Rutherford’s attorney “says the New York judge was ‘perplexed’ that California forfeited jurisdiction over the case and that the legal system has ‘caused profound and irreparable harm to Kelly’s children.’”

Fuck. Fuck Fuck fuck. So we have non-violent drug offenders serving 25 years in prison but child molesters, child rapists, and those who facilitate the abuse and sexual exploitation of children get a slap on the wrist and told to behave from now. Seriously! We cry about ISIS and ebola which kill so few Americans it’s…

It’s safe to assume this never would’ve happened with a player from Anglo State.

Oh, FFS. This whole bag check thing wouldn’t have anything to do with Delta Sigma Theta being a historically black sorority, would it? Naah!

Aw, sorry to hear that.

Great. All the past relationships I have that are worth obsessing over predate Facebook. Thanks for nothing, technology.

I’ve loved him since his first presidential campaign, and this “lame duck” Obama is showing me the guy I figured was always in there. It’s probably for the best that he has saved the best for last, because a good portion of American citizens would be calling for declaring him President for Life.

What I’m looking for is Miller High Life. Which, in some places, costs only $7 for a six-pack.

Holy crap. A old co-worker of mine had a part time job driving for the Civic Center and she had.to shuttle Toby Keith around town when he was here for a concert. She said the entire time he was in the car he was cursing the town and spewing some pretty racist commentary.

At 9:11 pm every night my son walks up to me and says “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” and then walks away. I immediately took a screenshot of this and sent it to him. We both laughed. So thanks.

So I need to find the article, but one of the items for first grade readiness in the 70’s was the ability for a 6 year old to be able to walk to the corner store by him or herself. That is much further than 90 yards away. I'm not sure why we have, as a society, become so fearful of our children being even mildly…

“If other countries can provide these services, why can’t we?”

Thanks for this! People are seriously having issues with distance up in here.

Isn’t this what we’re talking about?

I just saw a piece on a documentary about a child, ten years old, who was expected to find her way to get water miles in the desert on her own because it was her job. Similarly, five year olds who lived in the rainforest who hunted spiders all day to feed their families. And somehow, we’re arresting people for being a…

Before I scrolled down and saw her picture, I knew she was a black mother. This never happens to white moms.
