Babies Thrown From Temple For Luck

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.

(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 relatives in Bulgaria, an awkward refuge since his native language is English. The true names are used since Children's Aid cannot "protect" a boy outside of Canada.

Lisa Scott 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.
