Chick-fil-A founder shows mercy to vandals

From OneNewsNow.com

Associated Press - 2008 08 01

Chick-fil-A founder Truett CathyNEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - Chick-fil-A restaurant founder S. Truett Cathy has decided two [pre-teen-aged] girls accused of causing $30,000 in damage to his home should be punished with a writing assignment instead of charges.

In a deal Cathy worked out with their parents, the girls must write “I will not vandalize other people’s property” 1,000 times. They are also banned from watching TV and playing video games and must read a good book….(Full Story)

Nebraska child-support rules and parenting or FR organizations

This morning I had a call from a second wife in Nebraska (married for ten years, with a husband who has to pay child support for a 12-year-old daughter from a previous marriage).

The woman told me that she is trying to find help with putting an end to frequent and escalating demands for child support increases for that 12-year-old daughter from a previous marriage of her husband.

She stated that she has two children of their own with her husband and that it seems to her that she, her husband and her husband’s two youngest children have second-class status in relation to that oldest daughter of her husband.

I found some information on child support issues in Nebraska.

Check the web page at this link: http://www.divorcesource.com/info/divorcelaws/nebraska.shtml

Other than that, it it obvious from the search results I found that it will be very difficult or perhaps impossible for me to find better results.  Maybe all Nebraskans are happily married (just kidding).

If you know of any organizations in Nebraska that deal with fathers rights, child-support- or child access and custody- or equal-parenting issues, please be so good and e-mail about the contact details (or respond to this posting).

Thanks,

Walter

Woman strangles her four children

Murder most foul as woman strangles her four children

Eunice Rukundo & Fred Muzaale

Kamwokya [Uganda]

The last time residents of Kamwokya Central Zone saw four-year-old Marion was about 2:30 pm on Wednesday, when she stormed out of their two-room home, looking shaken and in tears. Her mother, Margaret Kasande, was right at her heels yelling at her to get back into the house and eat.

Marion kept on running but her mother finally grabbed her, roughly dragged her back into the house, and locked the door. Neither Marion’s fright nor her mother’s ruthlessness bewildered the neighbours nor attracted their intervention.

They had seen it all too many times before and believed that what would follow, as usual, would be a thorough thrashing of the young girl.

“She always beat the children up so bad, we sometimes had to hide them in our house,” Andrew Mutesasira, one of the neighbours, who lives in the opposite house, recalled yesterday.

“On such occasions she would insult us and scream that they were her children and she would do with them as she pleases. She has even on several occasions said she would kill them if she wanted.”

Sometime on Wednesday afternoon, that threat came chillingly to life when Ms Kasande strangled her own children aged four, three and 18 months. Residents now fear that Marion might have been trying to flee for her life after watching her mother strangle her siblings, including her twin sister….(Full Story)

The Government, Divorce, and the War on Fatherhood

The Government, Divorce, and the War on Fatherhood

The article is an outstanding review of Stephen Baskerville’s book Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage and the Family.

This is what Stephen Baskerville says about it:

This review has just been published today as the cover story in InsideCatholic.com, a prestigious and influential online magazine that is the successor to the print magazine Crisis.

This review is not only highly favorable, it is also amazingly perceptive.  Note the last line, where he calls this “a critical civil rights struggle; perhaps the most critical of all.”  This guy gets it (and he should be recognized).

The full review is here.  You can also leave comments, send a letter, etc.

In your comments — and in circulating this review to influential people (for which it is eminently suitable) — I might suggest you emphasize that Mr. Aglialoro is not exaggerating (and of course neither am I).

Stephen

Read the review and send a copy of it to your legislators and representatives!

Keep in mind that although the main focus of Taken Into Custody is on the USA, the book and also Todd Aglialoro’s review make it crystal clear that the governments’ war against fathers, marriage and the family prevails to identical extents in all developed nations.  In essence both, the book and the review, illustrate and discuss the implementation of the international agenda for the planned destruction of the family.
