Same here. Small Catholic school, tiny number of students in each class, and really obvious bullying and exclusion that the adults did nothing about. I recall numerous conversations with the principal, who was a nun (that felt important at the time), that she just couldn't do anything about it. I might be 'having a…

I've never heard of it referred to as Aboriginal protective services here in the US, but hey, learn something every day!

I'm not a nervous or frentic mother and I try to keep in perspective the chance of terrible things happening to my kid, but this was something I was concerned about as my child flew alone (our family is very scattered). When she was younger and flew with airline supervision, they told me they won't seat children next…

It sounds like Ash_Teej doesn't work in the US child protective services, if she works for an Aboriginal agency.

Pretty well publicized to a recent refugee who may not have a good grasp of English and who was hiding her pregnancy? I think what she did was awful and I don't think she should get custody of the child back, but for someone in her particular situation, I'm not sure she would know about something like a safe haven law.

Longer than you think, Dad! Longer than you think!

I can't answer if airline penis viewing is an actual 'thing', but there have been a number of reported incidents of masturbating, exposure, and molestation on flights. Children traveling alone are not usually seated next to single men because of this concern.

Not that it's a defense, but what's the real chance she knew about the safe haven law?

Its just so appropriate.

For a long time I thought the same! Especially when that second season of the reality show came out and things were unraveling — there was at least one moment when I was sure Feldman was just going to blurt out that MJ molested him.

Right, the naked pictures. I had forgotten about that. I was thinking about the Coreys show and the stuff he said after MJ died. Yeah, he said that MJ showed him books with naked people in them but there was no physically inappropriate relationship.

I'm really doubting these girls' commitment to Sparkle Motion.

He keeps part of his bangs really long and braided and has for a couple of years. It looks like he's tucked it behind his ear to keep it out of his face.

There are a whole slew of (now adult) child stars who grew up in a much different time, with much different attitudes towards how closely the children had to be protected. There's a lot of really sad stories from the crop of kids the Coreys came up with — I wouldn't be terribly surprised to know that a good chunk of…

Feldman has always maintained that Michael Jackson never laid a hand on him. When he started talking about being molested a couple of years ago, my mind jumped to MJ as well, but Corey swears up and down MJ was just a nice guy.

Its no different than frying up oreos or candy bars or ice cream or any of that stuff that would melt in the oil. You deep freeze it, then you flash fry it in the fryer. It doesn't hang out in the oil — the cooking process is fast. Have you had fried ice cream? The center is usually still cold and the parts closest to…

Or no perverts work professionally in the fashion industry? [jezebel.com]

I'd probably disagree. The show usually gets called in when things are to the wire — families being evicted from their homes, children being taken away, injuries from the mess, etc. So the show really has to deal with the actual, physical stuff because there's no time to walk the participants slowly through the…

Becky was a sweet enough troubled woman. Who was over 20,000 dollars in debt that Michelle is paying, as well as housing her, and trying to get Becky therapy, engineering a tv show to come out and try to help with the hoarding issue, and taking time off of work to sort through 16 storage units of Becky's accumulated…

It both makes sense and doesn't — he was going to die and leave his daughter with this crazy, possibly condemnable property stuffed to the gills with 50 years of hoarding. The property was so bad that the show's therapist had to report it to adult protective services. So he was just leaving his kid all his physical…
