    Mainly talks about rare instances that happen and a father ends up paying child support. Goes into different examples of these kinds of cases from other states. Also, mentions how Arizona pursue child support cases and treats them differently from custody arrangements.

    Wow...I don't agree that a female rape victim should be forced to share custody or receive child support from her assailant it should be her right as the victim. But a male victim, this is new to me. However, I agree if he is a victim she should be charged and he should have a choice. Charges should have been made against her back when it happened or they should do the math and still charge her. As for the child it's sad but if he doesn't want to be apart of her life because he wants nothing to do with his assailant, The assailant is at fault. I don't think I would want my son to have to be involved with a women who raped him because a child was conceived during her criminal act. It's sad because then the child suffers. Mixed feelings on this subject.

    This whole article is disturbing on so many levels. First of all he was 14 years old but that does not change the fact that he is a parent and has responsibilities just based on that alone. BUT if the courts are going to recognize the fact that is was a rape why do they not charge the mother? I say he takes her to court for custody and makes her pay child support. The poor child can not win either way.

    This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.

    Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

    Article on a San Diego restaurant that didn't accept tipping but added a service charge of 18% instead. The switch from tipping to service charge led to improved food, thanks to happier cooks that were paid more. Business improved and the restaurant was making more money than before, when it practiced tipping.

    The article explains the number of equal rights claims against companies, explaining how less than 1/10 of charges go to court and only about 1% overall win the case whereas 14% of cases are won by the business and 78% end in settlement. Article also goes on to explain reasons individuals file charge, and which companies are charged the most. extremely comprehensive and a good read.

    Since 2007, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has accused Sheriff Joe of detaining Latinos unlawfully, in which he would regularly perform 'sweeps' in Hispanic neighborhoods. Since then, Sheriff Joe has ignored a court order for reported racial profiling and criminal contempt charges could be issued if prosecutors are willing.

    First of all, I can't believe that he is 84 now. I didn't know that. More importantly, I've never liked our sheriff and have heard a ton of nothing but bad things about him and especially his actions of being racist. This doesn't at all surprise me but I really doubt that he will be convicted. I guess we will see though! Thanks for sharing!!!

    A 22-year-old New Hampshire man was arrested, tried, and charged with violation of privacy after he recorded underage girls in a Target bathroom. Transgender equality has been a rising problem in the United States, and Target's motion to allow gender neutral bathrooms may be causing more harm than good. Many feel this is allowing people to easily take advantage of the progress Target is trying to make, and more instances of men and underage girls are surfacing and are requiring attention, and whether Transgender friendly bathrooms are creating and unsafe environment.

    The intertwined issues of privacy and secrecy will force Congress to finally deal with the world of digital information. Being such a big issues and how they are able to use such information against people in court, how was Hillary Clinton able to get off her FBI investigation? It doesn't make senseto me how they abuse this power to convict people in court, but yet our countries elite get off without so much as a fine.
  • jef2162142 on 04 Sep 16
     
    The FBI has exposed itself as a highly corrupted organization by allowing a politician to be above the law. The federal government ought to remove Comey from his position of power as he has said that Hillary should not be charged, although she committed a crime, and was exposed. In other words, he said she is above the law. Which no one person can be above the law in a republic, or a democracy, or any functioning country with laws.

    It is not okay for her to get off the hook for the investigation. If other people can't get away with crimes then why can she get away with it. Just like us she is a citizen of the united states so why is should she be treated any different?

    Tessa Urban is blind and needs her dog Dazzle to go places. When the Uber driver came to pick her up, he immediately back out and left. Urban was charged for a trip she did not take. Her "driver" was fired and she was later reimbursed. This is only one of many cases in which Uber has discriminated against service animals.

    Charges for delivery have almost tripled since 1996. Women are getting sticker shocked for procedures and tests that they feel should be covered by insurance. The trend is that women are having to pay individually for services that they may not necessarily need. Many insurance providers exclude maternity coverage from their plans, increasing the financial burden for women.

Japan, Europe, Australia, Russia, China, and Brazil have passed laws requiring GMO labeling and the United States still hs not despite the fact that a whopping 90% of Americans feel genetically modified foods should be labeled as such.
