    Wow! That was very informative. I was aware of the issue and even was informed about different resources to contact in order to minimize the contact one has with law enforcement, but I did not know about the alternatives to imprisonment.

    This article is very informative. The prison system is in much need of some kind of reform. The article give a lot of logical suggestions of how the government could start reforming the system.

    There is a long list of issues our nation has with prison. It's unsanitary, the food doesn't support a healthy diet. The lack of safety is a huge concern. This website explains many issues with American prison and list possibilities to change it.
  • sonyacorona on 29 Jan 18
     
    The detrimental impact of imprisonment, not only on individuals but on families and communities also need to be taken into account. Central to the arguments to promote prison reforms is a human rights argument.

    Should the FCC respect Net Neutrality? This article will give readers an idea of how they can be affected.
  • mig2146362 on 30 Jan 18
     
    My concern over the repeal of net neutrality is the power it gives conglomerates over "use." we have all been subject to EULA contracts from things like computers and even kitchen appliances, and ISPs are no different. Removing net neutrality laws will silence vocal minorities, as well as curb online activism- where movements like the BLM organization were created and continue to flourish.

    hello, I also posted an article about net neutrality. It is sad that it was repealed and many corporations could make a lot of money. Net Neutrality is so important, especially in the modern world.

    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.
  • 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 article talks about how the number of deaths increased has a close correlation in the unfair conditions these prisoners face with little to no health care. Most of the deaths in a prison are related to mental illness or health care. Other countries have laws to protect the prisoners but here in the US they are not treated as they should be.

    By looking at local property taxes, you can see that the education of the wealthier students if funded better than the poorer students. This has not gone unnoticed, even to the point of law suits, and yet still schools underfund the more vulnerable students and leave them unprepared for the future.
