Facebook has been overstating that  they are the safest site for minor children to do their social networking. The Attorney General has told them to stop.

Facebook claims that it is safer for minor do not appear to be true, and could give parents a false sense of safety.

The attorney general’s office said that they must stop representing themselves as pristine and to change their language describing the site. They feel parents are given a wrong impression and by doing that it is misleading them.

investigations have shown that children on Facebook are often solicited for sex, and given pornography.

Facebook is cooperating with the Attorney Generals office. They are “constantly working on processes and technologies that will further improve safety and user control on the site.”

The parents of a child killed in a car collision were awarded money damages by a Montana Court. The defective car seat at issue was made and sold by Evenflo. The Plaintiffs case showed proof that Evenflo was aware the car seat had a issue in its design that might lead to the belt hooks snapping; however, they still made the choice to put in on the store shelves. The total jury award is roughly $10 million , several million dollars in punitive damages to punish and hopefully correct the conduct of Evenflo.

Officials and generally ignorant people in the city of Denver have outlawed the pit bull breed of dogs.

However, owners of existing pit bulls can keep their dog if the meet new regulations, including a special, breed-specific licensing fee of $200, carrying $100,000 of liability insurance, be at least 21 years of age, and post warning signs in the front of their land.  Except for the licensing, this is all fine and dandy. Its what responsible dog owners would do anyways.

the ban is not just due to urban legends regarding the breed, but alot to do with irresponsible ownership. If the dog is owned by bad owners, he  is a victim of his environment, then who is at fault, the dog or his owner?

Most pit bull owners dont bother to carry insurance. And many fail to keep the animals on their own property. Even ones that have shown themselves to be aggressive.

Obviously other breeds will bite, but the kicker is this:  most dog owners will have insurance, for whatever reason this breed tends to have owners that miss that whole train of though.

Give pits a break, hold the owners accountable!

According to statistics by the year 2030, almost 9 million  people will be 85 or older. Thats 2 times what we have now.

And many will be off to nursing homes to receive specialized care. We can expect a nursing shortage with so many people needing  care in so short a time span. You may know that at current , neglect is the number one reason behind nursing home abuse lawsuit cases.

A study of nationwide incidences discovered that 551,011 seniors over 60, were victims of abuse or neglect in a one year time frame. Your loved one may die prematurely, and suffer things like malnutrition, bedsores, undue weight loss, the list goes on.

if you suspect any of these things, call an attorney immediately.
Its nto right that our helpless elders suffer  due to someones apathy. Would they do that to their parents??

  the FDA has put out an alert warning consumers to be aware  for toothpaste made in China. Toothpaste made in China is often found in dollar stores.

The recalled product contains diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze..
Officials are concerned with the bargain outlets primarily as this will be the most affected they feel. This glycol is used as a thickener and a sweetener. The largest amount authorities have discovered is about 4%.

FDA officials state that Di ethylene Glycol has no business in toothpaste no matter how much.

All toothpaste made in China is suspect.

I mean what on earth  are they thinking? Are their standards really that low, or is this some form of Chinese malice against the world?

Child safety seats may not offer the protection that parents are expecting. Studies show that 10 of the 12 popular child car seats, failed in crashes as low as 35 miles an hour.  This leaves the baby at risk for injury.

The government bureau, national Highway traffic safety Association only tests at the 30 mile an hour and front-end collisions for child safety seats. The results of the  study exposed serious problems with this limited government testing.
John safety seats have said the number of lives of children involved with   car wrecks .

Abortion clinics were delivered a setback by the Supreme Courts ruling in a fight that has lasted 2 decades. The court rules that federal laws pertaining to extortion and racketeering could not be used in conjunction with abortion protesters.

The Courts intention was not to create an offense which could  e used in a free manner, allowing a law to be called into play randomly. This is true in regards to the Hobbs Act, now infamous.

This they felt was dealt with in 1994 by the creation of a law: Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. This sets the guidelines for abortion clinic protesting.

Activists felt that if this were not struck down by the court, that this law would be invoked at any protest, effectivel shutting down anyone opposing  establishment. Protesters and civil rights unions are pleased with the outcome.  By the wording of the law picketing for better wages would be a form of extortion. were it not strck down by the supreme court could we really ever feel free?
