    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.

  •  
    This article has some good insight on what to look for. It also explains why a lot of victims do not come forward which is especially sad. If more people knew what to look for I think that it would definitely help these victims.

Men Can Be Victims of Abuse, Too - The National Domestic Violence Hotline - 0 views

  •  
    Men being victim to domestic violence against another woman, or possibly another man, has been laughed at by society for quite some time. The ability for men to come out and share their abuse stories or get away from an abusive relationship needs to be encouraged more. They don't need to always be tough and "man up", that is a very old fashioned way of thinking, and needs to be reviewed.

    I picked this because it mentioned a girl that is a victim of rape and abortion may be an option. This is one case for me when I can support a women's decisions to abort.

Victims of Sexual Violence: Statistics - 0 views

  •  
    This day and age women are redefining themselves in the workplace and world, but one set back that is always occurring is the act of rape. Colleges, women and children, are taught from a young age about rape and the causes. It is unfortunate these statistics are accurate and that women are more often to blame themselves and feel as if they have no where to go to seek help.
  •  
    I enjoyed this website. I feel strongly about justice for rape. It really is eye opening when you see such statistics displayed visually for one to see. Thank you for sharing.

Mental disorders keep thousands of homeless on streets - 0 views

  •  
    Many homeless people who live out on the streets are victims of mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. People who are mentally ill and homeless are among the hardest to treat, and government spending on homeless programs is expected to rise.
  •  
    This post actually hits close to home for me, seeing as i am a psych major and i feel the same way about our homeless population. Many of them are made fun of or accused of being on drugs but what they do not realize is that many of them are acting that way because they are not on the medication that they require to function at a normal level.
  •  
    This article really opens my eyes a bit about homeless people. I mainly believe that homeless people at times are just helpless and put themselves in a position that they cant return from, but this article says otherwise. It goes to show that not all of these homeless people are completely doomed, just some of them need to proper medical assistance to get them back on the right track and back into reality.

  •  
    This article defines the term bullying. It also describes who, where, and when bullying can occur. This articles tells the reader how bullying can effect the victim psychologically.
  •  
    Yet another similar post. I think looking at it psychologically has helped with looking into why people feel the need to bully others. It is a big social justice issue that I unfortunately feel will never end.

    Bullying exists everywhere! I like this article because it provides ways for an anti-bullying environment. At some point in time everyone has whiteness someone being bullied, has been bullied personally, or has been the bully. Its a tragic subject that can lead individuals to suicidal attempts and depression. How long will it take before people realize this matter is crucial especially in educational environments, social media, and even in politics.
  •  
    I just found out that my wife is pregnant a week ago and this is one of my greatest concerns as a soon to be parent. No one should have to go to school and be open to abuse. Great article and I appreciated the ways that it states to make safe environments.
  •  
    Bullying.....we always hear the word bullying and this is one of the most scary situation in the world. Million of people have killed themselves because of bullying. we have to stop bullying.
  •  
    This is such a common topic and has been for so many years. Bullying has been around for so long and now that social media is extremely popular it seems to make it worse. We have to do all we can to prevent this due to so many students committing suicide because of such extreme bullying.
  •  
    As a parent of a bullying victim, I feel there is much that can be fixed when dealing with this issue. the only thing you can do as a parent is talk to the administration and after that, your hands are tied. They are the ones that talk to the student and the student's parent. The only notification you get is that they had a meeting. In the meantime, your child is being retaliated against, their self-esteem continues to deteriorate and their schoolwork suffers. I wish there could be a more proactive approach. There came a time that I didn't get any communication until I sent an email to the entire school staff, Principal, and Superintendent.
  •  
    Its definitely an issue that far too often is overlooked. I am not a parent, and can only imagine how parents feel when their son or daughter is a victim of bullying. The issue definitely needs to be addressed, no one should have to attend school worried or concerned about how their day is going to go. It is very saddening, and disheartening.
  •  
    I feel like bullying has become more and more of an issue over the years. It is sad to see what is going on and I would like to see more schools implement programs to stop it.
  •  
    Bullying as gotten bigger over the years especially dealing with how big social media is getting. I wish school and adults would help stop this issue because it is always overlooked.

    Here is another article about censorship online - more specifically censorship in online forums. Often times when there are rules set up to protect the users from bullying, they prevent the victims from speaking out more than they stop bullies from tormenting other users.

Psychological Effects of Human Trafficking: Depression, Anxiety, & Substance Use - 1 views

  •  
    Human trafficking has a great impact on its victims. IF victims are able to get away from traffickers, they will still struggle for the rest of their lives. Even though they got away, they will forever be scarred. They will always remember their experience.
  •  
    This is very true because most were forced or tricked into it. Not to mention they make them do some unspeakable things.

Mounting Evidence Against the Black Lives Matter Narrative You HAVE to See - 0 views

  •  
    This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.
