  • Michelle Gallatin on 04 Sep 16
     
    I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

    I'm often lost in thought regarding my young daughter, she is still a ways from attending elementary but it seems that with time the issue of bullying doesn't appear to get better. I hope by the time she is old enough to attend there are better practices in place for schools and students to recognize and stop this behavior.

    An online article explaining the impact on trust in social commentary that 24 hour news agencies and social media has on society. The recent explosion of social media and online presence has skewed public relations to current events, and made it easier to disseminate false narratives as fact in order to sway opinion. Concluded by the idea of the 'echo chamber' being used by current media outlets to segregate in order to polarize communities and create barriers.

    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.
  • jen2081270 on 02 Sep 17
     
    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.
  • aacastillo1222 on 03 Sep 17
     
    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.
  • emi2056907 on 03 Sep 17
     
    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.

    This issue really angers me. We send our troops off to war or to serve our country, so that we can ultimately turn our backs on them when they acclimate to civilian life. The ramifications of what they endure is life-altering and they need assistance adjusting to normalcy. Mental illness is very prevalent afterwards and if anyone deserves compassion, it is our troops.

    Prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. However others argue that altering the real meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, will weaken a threatened institution and may lead lto polygumous (having more than one wife or husband) and interspecies marriages.

    Should gay marriage be legal? There are many pros and cons to this topic and in our society today it is a huge social justice issue. Should we stick with the traditional way of life where a man and woman get married and have children, or should we branch out and allow everyone the freedom to love and marry whoever they want?

    This is an example of statistics based fact that suggests an increase in education among women actually effects the mortality rate in children under the age of 5. Substantial educational improvement in women was also shown to not only improve health but also the status and roles of women in society.

    Beyond conspiracy and theories there are facts. Facts like classified documents on Kennedy's assassination. Not to say all the conspiracy theorists are right, but why are there so many documents the government won't release. It's been 50 years since his death and for some reason the president thinks there should still be some secrets
