WTF??

CNN.com "Three boys, 8 and 9, charged with raping 11-year-old girl

  • Story Highlights
  • 11-year-old girl tells police she was raped by trio of 8- and 9-year-old boys
  • One boy's father says there was sex, but it was consensual
  • Police say children that young can't consent to sex, so rape charges stand
  • One of the boys reportedly threatened the girl with a rock, police chief says"

Do I really need to say anymore? Ok, ok, you talked me into it.


Parents get involved with your kids! Don't leave it til something like this happens. Be involved. Be active in their lives whether they like it or not. Get to know the school. Get to know the teachers, the folks in the lunchroom, the janitorial staff. Your child spends most of his or her day at school. Get to know the kids, as well.



Other than that, I am flabberghasted. Girls are (allegedly) willingly being gang-raped, too, if you didn't know ... so they can fit in.

Damn, I remember when having Firenza clothing was enough for that. And those stupid little barrette things with the beads on them. And... oh yes! Guess jeans.

I just... BAH!

Has it almost been three months? Really?

Wow.

I last posted a blog on September 1st. What the heck have I been doing? Aside from working, going to school, and being a mum; I guess I haven't been doing much of anything! Alright, before I lose track of them completely, here are some topics I will eventually get around to pondering:

  • My weird-a** dreams
  • School
  • Niiiiiinja Warrior
  • Creative Writing
  • Leadership
  • People, in a general sort of way
  • Getting my head out of the sand
  • Environmentalist guilt
  • Medical things
  • and other personal experiences

Hey, maybe by the time I get all those written I'll have figured it all out. Then of course I'll have to figure out just what "it" is. :)

Hugs and Bubbles!
