Arizona -- A 76-year-old man who was accused of forcing a maid to put her hand on his penis four times while the woman was cleaning his trailer home in Glendale, claimed 'Satan made him do it'. Yeah, right...
The victim reportedly said the old man made repeated sexual comments towards her while she was cleaning the trailer.
She said he tried to give her a hug, but then grabbed hold of her hand - forcing it on to his crotch instead.
And sure, why not blame Satan, or your penis, or alcohol, or "sex drive", or drugs, or your childhood, or your parents ... or the government. It can't be your own fault, now can it?

Martial arts and self-defense
There are so many cases where people have signed up for what they thought were the greatest martial arts/self-defense combo - only to find this is not the case.
When you have signed a contract for yourself and/or your child, then basically, you're stuck.
My advice? Be very wary of what sort of art you seek out, and above all - check all the fine prints before signing anything.
Here's a case from orlandosentinel.com which ought to drive the point home...

A scary list
Idaho -- A convicted Ontario sex offender has allegedly made a list of 32 girls to "look up" once he gets out of jail. Now parents worry for their children's safety as the man is soon to be released.
One parent talked about how their kids in effect were prisoners. "we don't know what to do to make it better for them," the parent said.
Sheriff's deputies reportedly found a list the man had written. It was titled "people to look up". 32 local girls between the ages of 6 and 17 were on the list, including his original 15 year old victim.
In order to come up with his list, authorities alleges the man read newspaper articles about the girls. It is said the list is so detailed it that had everything short of an address to look these girls up.
And still we somehow tend to hang on to this all-to-prevalent idea about 'random violence'...

Carjackers killed woman
In Texas, a woman -- a mother of five -- was brutally stabbed to death when she fought back during a carjacking in northeast Harris County (Houston). Now, one of the suspects have been arrested, according to khou.com.
The woman was walking into a mobile phone store when a man, attempting to steal her car, grabbed her car keys. It is believed that the woman fought the would-be carjacker because her 4-month-old daughter was still in the car.
The 24-year-old assailant, which authorities say are an illegal immigrant, stabbed the woman several times. He then got into a waiting car driven by an accomplice. The store's security cameras captured the brutal attack.
Not long before the deadly attack, the assailant was caught in security video stealing beer from a convenience store, police said.
The carjackers -- using knives and targeting women -- reportedly began their crime spree at convenience store Tuesday in Northeast Harris County.
A surveillance video shows the passenger of a car getting out of the vehicle and walking into the store. On of the carjackers then approached the driver, waiting in the vehicle.
Using a knife, he forced her out and she hurried inside, uninjured, police said. Then the second carjacker jumped into the vehicle, hopping in the driver's seat. The stolen car then takes off.
The next day, the same men targeted another woman, police said. Again, the carjacked victim was unharmed. The third woman targeted Wednesday night fought back, and was tragically killed.

Lame excuses #7
Here's one of the "best" (read: worst) excuses of "it was self-defense" I've read in a long time.
Story:
In Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a 19-year-old male was arrested by police after assaulting his stepmother, according to nj.com.
The teenager allegedly threatened to kill her. He punched and kicked the woman unconscious -- also kicking her down a flight of stairs. Why? Because the woman said she would call police when she discovered he was using her credit card.
The woman later told police she feared for her life because the teenager had been abusive in the past.
The "lights are on, but there's nobody home" stepson told police, "I took no chances" indicating he assaulted her in self-defense.
Police said the woman suffered from a fractured left ankle, which required surgery. She had a severely swollen left eye and damaged eye socket, which may need surgery, as well as severe bruising and a cut to her mouth.
Yes of course, the poor kid fought back in self-defense...

The "puppy trap"
local6.com in Florida has conducted an experiment which shows how easy it is to lure children away using puppies. A chilling read indeed.
Story:
A controlled experiment outside Central Florida homes found that a stranger with puppies could easily lure children into leaving inside a van.
Armed with a van filled with hidden cameras, a producer posing as a stranger with two puppies pulled into a Seminole County neighborhood.
With the parents' permission and blessing, they began a stranger danger test. The first test involved a large group of children ranging in age from 4 to 8 years old.
It took less than a minute before the children not only came close to the van but and then piled inside.

Role modelling
Absolutely great!
I do wonder where most kids learn negative and violent behavior. Could it *possibly* be at home?
Story:
A New Hampshire woman has been charged with assault for allegedly throwing pizza at an umpire at a Little League game in Concord last month.
Police say the 35-year-old woman was working in a concession stand. Her son is on the Concord All-Star team, which lost a close game on July 11. A league investigation said Concord parents and Little League volunteers taunted the umps and tried to provoke them.
Police say the woman tossed pizza that hit one ump and a parent. She's charged with two counts of simple assault. The league disciplined nine parents, board members and volunteers, asking some to resign from the board.

He merely had a knife
Quite naturally, this woman is devastated about her son being killed.
But what do this guy expect running towards a police officer holding a gun? Do they actually think it is possible to "aim for the legs", or shoot the weapon out of the hands of the person?
And then there's this phrase: "He merely had a knife." Yeah, some folks have this funny idea that a knife is just a harmless tool. Not.
This lady probably watch too much action movies, and/or need someone to blame.
Story:
A woman says a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy who fatally shot her son was out of line.
The 27-year-old man, was gunned down after he stabbed his ex-girlfriend and her roommate and then ran towards the deputy, holding carving knives.
"There are worse people on the streets," the 47-year-old mother said. "This was too much violence. He wasn't armed with a gun. He merely had a knife.''
Actually, he had two knives - and used them to repeatedly stab two people.

Parents, role models ...
And still we wonder how some kids grow up to be violent ...
Story:
An irate Italian family beat up a principal because they were unhappy with the grades a young relative had received and with a ban on cellphones at school. Three male relatives, including the father and grandfather of the student, punched and pushed the principal at a middle school in Bari on Saturday, police said.
They were angered by grades on the latest report card and by a recent ban by the principal on cellphones at the school he has run for the past 22 years. The principal was taken to hospital and treated for mild bruising. Police escorted him back to the school.

"A controlled, mature way"
A controlled, mature way ...?
I do have to ask what an out-of-control, immature way would be. On second thoughts, maybe I wouldn't want to know.
Middle-class paranoia anyone? I mean, here's a woman who will not let her daughter, 18 (!) years old, walk to school - less than a minute away. And based on what, a few unfortunate incidents?
Story:
After a series of reported sexual assaults and an abduction attempt on high school students last month, life in this quiet South Pasadena community is getting back to normal - with modifications.
"Just because we are an affluent, middle-class neighborhood, we're still surrounded by all sorts of things," said Karen Gilbert, who said the community has been responding to the threats "in a controlled, mature way."
Gilbert no longer lets her 18-year-old daughter walk to school, which she said is less than a minute away from their home.

Didn't like the feeling
Seems very strange to me that the parents didn't check with the modelling agency, all the time her mother got this creepy "something isn't right" feeling.
Story:
Minnesota -- A 17-year-old girl told her parents a photographer had approached her at a local store, claiming to be affiliated with a modeling agency. The man even gave her $200 to buy clothes for the photo shoot.
"To make that money quick, there is something not right. I didn't like the feeling I got," said her mother. The parents took several steps to check out the man. They even contacted local police to check out his criminal history. They found out he had a clean record.
However, when the teen showed up at the hotel room in Brooklyn Park in March, she said she became frightened when the photographer locked the door. The man then showed her other teenager's pictures, some partially clothed, some younger than she. "Right there I was, oh my God, I mean, how much younger, I am 17-years-old and she looked very young and it scared me," the girl said.
After taking several photos of girl, she said, "All of a sudden he grabbed me by the shirt and ripped my shirt off and threw that on the ground." When the man stepped into the bathroom, the girl said she escaped, first peaking at his wallet to learn he had given her a fake name. She then ran to her car, called her Mom and then police.

Shout!
New York -- A man yanked a 9-year-old girl off the street in Melville Thursday evening, drove her a quarter of a mile, then released her, Suffolk County police said.
Police said they weren’t sure why the man released the girl, but they surmised it was because the child was screaming loudly.
Her mother had taught the girl to make noise if she was in harm's way, and police said they believe this may have saved her.

"Panic mode"
It's so easy to slip from healthy dozes of precaution and suspicion, to seeing ghosts everywhere.
Story:
In an example of how Internet rumors can take on a life of their own, suspicions and anxiety quickly filled the void of information after several Southwest Austin residents reported seeing a white van cruising their neighborhoods.
When calls to police yielded no immediate information, one resident e-mailed a bulletin to several of his neighbors and local media outlets that said police hadn't responded to reports of an attempted abduction of a 13-year-old girl by several men in a white van with Georgia license plates.
In response to a wave of concern from parents, three principals of area elementary schools put their campuses on lockdown, forbade students to walk home unescorted and sent letters home warning of possible danger.
The all's-clear came Sunday when police reported that several white vans full of door-to-door salesmen from Georgia combed Southwest Austin last week. They were selling magazines.
Child abductions are rare: Of about 797,500 children abducted in a year in the U.S., according to a 2002 Justice Department report, 7.3 percent were taken by someone other than a family member and less than 1 percent, 115 children under 18, were victims of strangers or of people with whom the children were only slightly acquainted.
"Unfortunately, parents are continually fed a diet of scare stories. When confronted with unusual circumstances, they can easily shift into panic mode," said Frank Furedi, a researcher on responses to fear and the author of the book "Paranoid Parenting."

Hazards at work, 3
The political correctness has got to stop. This is utter stupidity!
Story:
Scotland -- A school teacher has been suspended after an alleged classroom attack - in which he was the victim.
School bosses did not punish the teenager who allegedly kicked maths master Mike Barile and tried to head-butt him in front of a crowd of other youngsters.
But when the furious 49-year-old teacher complained about the lack of action, they ordered him to go home.
Police are now investigating the alleged attack and Mr Barile's colleagues and pupils' parents are furious about his suspension.
School rules meant Mr Barile, a teacher for 25 years, was not allowed to touch the pupil.

Online stalker program
This seems like a really great idea!
Story:
A new computer educational program, warning children of the dangers of online sexual predators and bullying, launched September 6 in Australia.
Schools around the country today took part in the game, called Cybersmart Detectives, in which children role play to highlight the risks lurking in internet chat rooms.
Authorities use the program to warn that parents should monitor their child's use of the internet, that children should never give out personal information when they're chatting online, and if children want to meet face-to-face with someone they've chatted with they should always take a parent with them.
During Cybersmart Detectives, children work online using a chat-based program and play the role of the deputy principal concerned about the welfare of a new student being bullied in a chat room.

Overkill?
I can understand his pain...
I mean, if someone eats my yummy chocolate cake, I would be rather grumpy too.
But then again, maybe - just maybe - violence is going a bit to far?
Story:
"Father's Cake Rage," the headline screamed. Apparently, 37-year-old Obnoxious Bozo (not his real name) flew into a rage because --get this -- someone ate his chocolate cake!!
So what does Mr.O. Bozo do? Ordinary people like you and I would probably rant, sulk, moan and then pop in a piece of cheese or chew a leaf off the potted plant to get rid of the craving for a sweet.
Not our macho man though. He went into a rage and then hit his partner with a hammer and threatened his children with a snooker cue….because someone had eaten his slice of chocolate cake.
He does not stop there, oh no. Bursting with understandable anger, Mr. Macho Man then repeatedly stabbed a carving knife into the bedroom door of one of his children.
He threatened to kill his wife and children and then kill himself. All because a slice of chocolate cake had gone missing! I tell you what, that wife and children of his would never dare to even look at a chocolate cake for the rest of their lives.

Almost abducted
Talk about not trusting your instincts...
If an unknown man - looking as scruffy as this fellow here - is following your family around an amusement park, maybe it's time to ask security to check it out? It could just be that there's something fishy going on?
Trust me on this - if you feel that you're being stalked or followed something IS going on! Paranoid? I don't think so, these predators are out there somewhere constantly looking for an opportunity and an easy prey.
Story:
Clay County authorities are investigating after a 6-year-old girl said a stranger tried to kidnap her Tuesday night at Worlds of Fun.
The girl told police she was waiting with a friend while her mother and stepfather rode a roller coaster. The girl said a man approached and told her that he wanted to show her something, and he led her away from her friend.
The girl said the man picked her up and said he was taking her to his car to watch fireworks, but the girl became scared and was able to escape and return to her friend.
The child's mother told police that the man had been following them around the park. She said she had never seen the man before Tuesday.

Crazy
Crazy indeed.
A little aggression, an urge to win and fighting spirit is one thing, but outright violence..? Ladies, parents, please!
And the best part is that some folks think that martial arts and self-defense training is violent, and wonder how and where kids learn violence and aggressive behavior.
Story:
Cincinnati -- A basketball game brawl between two fifth-grade girls' teams was caught on tape, News 5 reported.
As the Cincinnati Warriors and Lady Champions game at Sports Plus was ending, the girls started exchanging punches instead of shaking hands.
"It's fifth-grade girls," said coach Mike Buckle. "Do we have to bring in police to watch that? It is crazy."
During the incident, Ashley Lewis, said she got a black eye after being punched. Courtside, Cherese Lewis was assaulted by parents.

Summer self-defense
India -- The recent spate of crime in the city has prompted an increasing number of parents to enroll their kids in self-defence classes this vacation.
Now that the annual examinations have ended, parents are pondering over which summer classes to enroll their kids into.
However, many have already made up their minds. Self-defence classes seem to be the flavour this summer, if the increase in the number of children enrolling in these is anything to go by.
