Holly Schnobrich, a 24 year old mother of two boys in Lafayette, Indiana, got whacked out on vodka and Percocet (which she admitted to taking when the children “acted up”) and decided to go out for a little joy ride around the subdivision with her sons, ages 5 and 3. But being the conscientious mother that she is, she knew she was too impaired to drive so she let the 5-year-old drive instead. Fortunately alert neighbors contacted the police (oh, how I would love to hear that 911 call). When they questioned Schnobrich as to why her preschooler was behind the wheel, she responded, “But he’s a good driver.” Mom somehow had the wherewithal to buckle up, but her younger kid was unrestrained in the back seat.

The young driver said this to a local news station:

On Thursday, Weston told 6News that he was having a hard time driving.

“My legs were too short to reach the pedals,” he said.

Weston said the incident won’t stop him from wanting to drive in the future.

“I want to be a race car driver when I grow up,” he said.

Just weeks after Nimisha Tiwari took the lives of her children and herself, another mother in the Chicago area decided to take the most desperate of ways out of an apparently messy divorce. Magdalene Kamysz, 28, of Crystal Lake, Illinois, committed suicide on Tuesday by stepping in front of a commuter train near her home. But if that wasn’t sad enough, when police went to her home four hours later to notify relatives, they found her 7-year-old daughter, Sydney, suffocated in her locked bedroom. While nothing was left behind to indicate why Kamysz took such drastic measures, the back story is eerily familiar:

One focus of the inquiry is an ongoing legal battle that Magdalene was waging with Sydney’s father over custody and visitation issues.

“It has been a somewhat heated and contested situation,” Nygren said.

Sydney’s father, 29-year-old Alan Burton of Walworth, Wis., filed a civil suit in February seeking to formalize his visitation rights with the girl, which his attorney said had been disrupted earlier.

But despite how contentious their relationship might have been, it’s hard to contemplate how it could lead to murdering your only child. These feelings don’t just come out of nowhere, why didn’t she seek some help? I guess we’ll never find out.

Our kids are getting fatter and alarmists are calling it a health epidemic. According the Center for Disease Control and Prevention:

The report says that there are probably 25 million overweight or obese children in the U.S. The percentage of obese children in the different states varied from a low of 8.5 percent in Utah to a high of 22.8 percent in Washington, D.C. It was noted that eight of the 10 states with the highest percentages of obese children were in the South. The states in the south with the heaviest children are West Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, and New Mexico.

So, who’s to blame? Mom? Dad? Self? The government? Yeah, let’s blame the government because our thoughts and desires ought to be controlled by the stellar capabilities of the folks in Washington.

The reports co-author, Jeffrey Levi thinks it’s most definitely the government’s fault that kids eat too many french fries:

Levi believes that individuals need help of the government to sort the problem out.

In the case of children, Levi called for moves such as restoring physical education and recess in schools, escalating the screenings of children’s weight and height and reporting results to parents among others.

For the general public, Levi reasoned, “People can’t exercise personal responsibility in a vacuum. If you’re telling people to eat healthier food and there are no grocery stores in the neighborhood; if you’re telling them to be more physically active, and they live in poor, unsafe neighborhoods or in suburban neighborhoods with no sidewalks, then you’ve created an environment that doesn’t make it possible for people to exercise that personal responsibility. That’s where government plays a role.”

While I agree that schools need to reinstate mandatory physical education classes, isn’t this more of an issue of the public who fails to support schools? Without the budgets, schools are not going to be able to provide these services and with a growing elderly population, it’s the grandparents who often set themselves up as a roadblock to helping children.

I hardly think it is the government’s responsibility to make sure every town has a grocery store with fresh produce. Part of the problem in living in such a wealthy nation, is that we eat and eat and eat and eat. Parents need to be educated on the ramifications of a free-for-all diet, but it is ultimately their responsibility and then the responsibility of the individual. I really don’t want the government in our pantry. I mean, look how well they’re doing in all the other areas, like infrastructure, the war, education, social security. C’mon people, think.

Miss Teen USA hopeful Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina, gave us a truly unique insight to the future leaders of our country with her intellect and wisdom. She showed the world what a academic marvel America is when she answered the question, “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?” (My answer? “Holy shit! What a bunch of dumbasses. How do they manage to even get their shoes on in the morning or remember their way back home? Perhaps the answer is more special ed classes.”)

Oh well, at least she has her looks to fall back on.

Will this be a continuing trend in our country?

BURLINGTON, Vt. — The University of Vermont’s big new student center doesn’t just have women’s bathrooms and men’s bathrooms.

It also has gender-neutral bathrooms, a feature added to accommodate transgendered people, as well as those with some disabilities. The four single bathrooms in the new Dudley H. Davis Center — each with a toilet, sink, shower and lockable door — cost about $2,500 a piece to build. Their wall signs identify each as “gender neutral restroom.”

“It’s about inclusivity and accessibility and the importance of meeting all people’s needs, not just a few,” said Annie Stevens, assistant vice president for student and campus life.

UVM isn’t the only school trying to make its accommodations more accommodating.

At least 17 colleges and universities have included gender-neutral bathrooms in their new construction or in retrofitting residence halls, said Stephanie Gordon, director of educational programs at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators.

Since when did male bathrooms and female bathrooms only meet the needs of “just a few”? I also wonder if anybody can use the gender neutral bathrooms, or do you have to be transgendered?

Are tax dollars are going towards funding these bathrooms, or is it all privately funded?

I can see why a transgendered person would feel more comfortable in a gender neutral bathroom, I guess, although don’t they usually identify with one gender more so than another? I don’t see any harm in this, but it does really separate them out instead of normalizing them, no?

John Couey, a formally convicted sex offender who abducted a 9 year old girl in Florida in 2005 was sentenced to death today. Couey raped Jessica Lunsford over several days and then buried her alive.
Jessica was found bound by speaker wire and with evidence of a desperate attempt to save her life as two holes were poked in the plastic bags he put her in. Blood from the continous raping was found in Couey’s home — she was buried in his his yard. It has been reported that Couey asked the child to get into the grave he dug for her and that all she asked was if she could take her stuffed animal dolphin with her.

So, I must ask, how can anyone oppose the death penalty in a cases such as these? How??

Sales analytics are showing that the sale of the controversial morning after pill is skyrocketing, much to the dismay of conservative and Christian activists who consider the pill a form of abortion.

Putting politics, religion, and morality aside, are blessings and consequences fully being considered in the light of objectivity?

Of course, the morning after pill is nothing short of a miracle for those women who are raped or have a night of indiscretion (after all, everybody makes mistakes) in preventing a pregnancy before it’s really viable, but what are the real consequences? Could it be the lack of consequences?

Some more moderate pro-lifers may be grateful in as far as the morning after pill might affect how often an invasive abortion procedure is needed or done, but is a society free from accountability and responsibility one of integrity and boundaries?

We keep creating policies, products and procedures to circumvent consequences. While some of these inventions and policies are miraculous and life saving, is it possible that diminishing the need or skill to control ones impulses or negate sound judgment may be counterproductive? Isn’t there a benefit of second guessing oneself or making an attempt to be responsible?

A 13 year old boy in Arizona is suspended after drawing a picture of a laser gun:

“I just can’t believe that there wasn’t another way to resolve this,” said Paula Mosteller, the boy’s mother. “He’s so upset. The school made him feel like he committed a crime. They are doing more damage than good.”

The Mostellers said the drawing did not show blood, bullets, injuries, or target any human. They said it was just a drawing that resembled a gun.

But Payne Junior High administrators thought the sketch was enough of a threat and gave the boy a five-day suspension, later reduced to three days.

His parents thinks the school is overreacting. Do you?

A growing number of parents are selecting their children’s name according to whether their .com domain name is available. The trend is acquiring your child’s name (or names which are under consideration), even before the baby is actually conceived:

Besides leaving the hospital with a birth certificate and a clean bill of health, baby Mila Belle Howells got something she won’t likely use herself for several years: her very own Internet domain name.

Likewise newborn Bennett Pankow joined his four older siblings in getting his own Internet moniker. In fact, before naming his child, Mark Pankow checked to make sure “BennettPankow.com” hadn’t already been claimed.

“One of the criteria was, if we liked the name, the domain had to be available,” Pankow said. It was, and Pankow quickly grabbed Bennett’s online identity.

What is the purpose of snagging your child’s domain name?

We did it for novelty reasons and to make sure nobody used the domain to cyber-bully our children, as has been done to other kids in this age of the internet. Also, in the unlikely event that our boys become a household name, already having their own URL will be handy, indeed.

So, if you haven’t bought your kids name, you might strongly consider it — it’s only $9 a year through a service like Go Daddy (even cheaper if you buy multiple years) — and snag it before someone else does.
