And a tiger doesn’t change its stripes either. In the war of custody of children, it’s not uncommon for a mother or father to skip down with their children in order to avoid the possible loss of time with them. Unless it is done to protect the children, and I mean really protect them, not […]

Interviews like this, with people like Baldwin can make a difference in the lives of children. Thanks Alec, please […]

I found this story very odd. Brian Erlacher, linebacker for the Chicago Bears is in a dispute again with the mother of his son. Apparently, a trist after meeting in a nightclub had an outcome of a child. After several meetings in court, a parenting plan was approved. Now there is a dispute because apparently […]

We hear these stories all the time - mother or father falsely accused so the other parent can have the winner takes all spoils of divorce - the custody of the children. Occassionally, we hear of it backfiring, but not near enough. In Placentia, Ca the courts got it right this week.
Someone called Fullerton police and […]

I woke up this morning to CNN on the TV. In my half daze between sleep and wake I hear “Obama’s Father’s Day speech… he criticizes black fathers and tells them to stop acting like boys and act like men.” and I start to listen. Now I am a white woman. I know little about black […]

The words have such meaning today, even more than they did when the song was released by Cher. Gypsys, tramps, and thieves. We’d hear it from the people of the town They’d call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves! And that is exactly what the good citizens of California think, so much that a Task force […]

Imagine this, tens of thousands of troops in Iraq, equipped with the best that our taxes can buy, tanks, jets, helicopters, and all the support that goes with it - and for good reason - to protect our country. For or against the war, we all understand the financial burden it takes on our country, and […]

I found this puzzling, and interesting at the same time. We hear of couples slitting up during marital issues all the time. Sometimes, you just need a breat from each other to find the important points that brought you together. But, when the Governor Jim Gibbons leaves the Governor’s Mansion to return to his home […]

Like we haven’t seen this before. Another State Employee is steeling child support. It’s happened in Washington, Oregon, Florida, and who knows where else.
Think about it. An agency that uses its employees in any way they possibly can to collect child support, receive the federal dole for it, and violate any law or policy that stands […]

This story came to my attention because I’ve seen the damage done when false allegations of abuse of a child stem from a nasty divorce. I have lived it. Not only does the accused get destroyed but the child does as well. To quote from the article, “Alleging child abuse is becoming a disturbingly popular […]
