the tune, all together now! By realzoomy
Telephone answering machine message posted by a high school.

among educators. First attributed to Pacific Palisades High
School, this version is from Maroochydore High School,
Queensland Australia.
Australia bans erotica depicting small-breasted women because of
similarity to child pornography. Protection of children
requires images of large breasts only.
British Airways treats all men as child abusers, refusing to
seat them next to children. If their policies were based on
research instead of stereotypes, they might instead refuse to
seat children next to unrelated women.
A Pennsylvania man is jailed and fined $17,500 for truancy

How can you help foster kids who have to move a lot? Donate
your old luggage! This was presented seriously, not as a spoof,
by KGET Bakersfield California on May 2, 2008.
How the Child Protection Industry Stole Christmas (pdf). Every
person attending a school event must be cleared for criminal
background, and it is unsafe for any unaccompanied adult to be
in the presence of children, to guard against accusations.
Eight times child protectors examine a home and find it safe for
children. When a mother comes to the same conclusion and leaves
a child with a lethal baby-sitter, child protectors punish her
by taking her other child.
You've heard of the term "bouncing baby". Well this is
what it means for the people of Solapur in India - dropping
babies from the roof of a temple into a bedspread fifty feet
below - apparently for good luck. It's believed it makes the
children strong.
A fourteen-year-old baby-sitter dared an eight-year-old boy to
touch her breast. When he did so, he was charged with
committing a lewd act with a minor.

The entire series is at youthnewsletter.
Fathers 4 Justice in England has

(pdf) EkaterinaEthier (Cathy) has a son coveted by Children's Aid, more so because he is,
in their terms, "special needs". Cathy has been forced to place him in safety with

names are used since Children's Aid cannot "protect" a boy outside of Canada.
Signs at an anti-abortion rally in Columbus Ohio, October 7, 2008, show that abortion

Psychiatric medicine has finally recongnized the condition of childhood syndrome.
Clinical indicators include dwarfism (small stature) and legume anorexia (failure to eat
vegetables).

convincing that it took in many viewers, including medical professionals, in the Daneyal
Mahmood Gallery in New York.
This site by a Bellevue Washington lawyer lampoons family law so effectively that some
doubt it is a spoof. Its production has the fingerprints of broadcaster Glenn Sacks.
Here is a quote from the site reflecting the shameful state of today's family culture:
Don't sleep with [your children] or spend more than the absolute minimum time
helping them dress or bathe. Make sure the children have their own beds and bedrooms
and be firm about them sleeping there. Don't let them fall asleep with you, even on
the couch watching a movie, or come sleep with you in the middle of the night. Lock
your door if you have to.
In 1934 five identical twin girls were born to a poor family in Corbeil Ontario. To
prevent the father from profiting by turning the girls into a sideshow, the Ontario
government seized custody, then turned the girls lives into a nine-year sideshow. They
grew up touch-deprived.
