    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.

    Human trafficking articles and sites are never easy to read. This one had some good information especially on how they try to lure the victims.

    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.

    this article discusses what human trafficing is. It also goes on to talk about ways trafficers lure victims. Things like fraud can be used for victims to avoid contacting police.

    As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women. Lebanon's parliament has repealed their "rape law" which allows rapists to escape imprisonment if they marry their victim. Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.

    This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sex trafficking has been an issue in the US for years with more than 20.9 victims worldwide. Human trafficking has been known as slavery and has gone unnoticed.

    It saddens me that this is an issue. I wish people did not do this to other people-- essentially taking away their rights and freedoms along with messing with the person emotionally, physically, mentally, and so much more. I really do not understand the mindset of the people that are condoning sex trafficking or even just looking the other way when this is such a dilemma all around the world.

    Today, close to 250 million children are working in the world. More than 150 million of these children are working in dangerous conditions. Additionally, each year more than 1 million of these children will be victims of human trafficking. Child labour refers to any work or activity that deprives children of their childhood.
