Rather than commenting to Mrs. Cynthia Logan’s comment on my blog post, Make the Jump, Vermont, I’d rather direct my readers to what has been an interesting discussion at The Legal Satyricon about it.  If you don’t know, Mrs. Logan wishes to change laws after her 18 y/o daughter committed suicide for being bullied about [...]

I agree sexting isn’t smart but to make a stupid action illegal, whereby harming youth for a lifetime with a felony isn’t smart either. It’s [...]

What would a logical bus room be like?  I wonder.  What if your kid compared the bus room to a Nazi concentration camp?
In my daughter’s school, kids have to wait up to over an hour in a room until their bus arrives, sadly because the county is short on funds like all school systems but also [...]

I couldn’t imagine that I would be saved after I told…’no one’s going to believe you’ [the abusers said].”
This quote comes from a rape/incest survivor (part 1 & 2 at the bottom of the screen).  Her fears are common among the abused, as are the kind of threats and manipulations from her abusers and the [...]
