    IA IA - Marc Allen, 13, Des Moines, 29 March 1986

    Sorry I'm so late answering this. Sam Soda was a private investigator at the time of Johnny's disappearance (or at least he said he was); I think most recently he's been some sort of businessman. He worked with Noreen, but she found out later that Paul Bonacci identified Sam Soda as the man...

    It was probably Franklin Files; it's really the only other place I go that talks about Johnny Gosch. I honestly don't remember though, and I wish I did. I think it was Noreen who said it (probably on Franklin Files), but I don't remember.

    Bikini-clad mother causes Burger King brawl

    I wonder what happened to her kids? If she goes ballistic over a hamburger, imagine what she does when her kids are acting up.

    MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 22 Oct 1989 - #4

    I can't watch the video now, as my three year old is here watching Barney's Great Adventure, and I wouldn't want her to hear the things on that video, anyway. But if I recall, the boy who died was never named; the other boy was called "Nicholas." Bonacci doesn't say anything about what the boy...

    MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 22 Oct 1989 - #4

    I haven't found a date, but I think I somewhere once that it was in the mid-80s that this Bohemian Grove snuff film took place. But, like I said, Bonacci does not mention the boy's name in his diary and, in fact, there is only his diary as evidence that it happened. So I don't think he was...

    Katie Holmes gives Suri "adult" candy

    I know that the store Spencer's has adult-type things in it. I would not take my child into Spencer's, but there's no law against it. Unless she's been abused, what does a five year old know about penises? Maybe she's seen her father naked and seen him pee, but most children aren't going to...

    MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 22 Oct 1989 - #4

    WARNING: Graphic Language at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEz3t71WKvU In this video a man is reading from Bonacci's diary. Bonacci describes the scene with the cages at the Bohemian Grove. He does not say that the boy who as murdered was Jacob though; he does not mention the...

    Children's Train Derails

    This is just terrifying. I've always been wary of carnival rides, but it makes you wonder about things we take for granted every day, like elevators. Gaffney is a small town, so the little boy's death has affected everyone in some way. If you didn't know the family, you knew people who knew...

    Katie Holmes gives Suri "adult" candy

    Regarding Suri being out late, I think I read somewhere that Scientologists considered children really more small adults, so they don't treat them differently than they would other adults. It explains why Suri would be out late, dressing "older," etc. I don't know if this is true, but I...

    MN - Jacob Wetterling, 11, St. Joseph, 22 Oct 1989 - #4

    The man who made those walking tours of Omaha videos believes his father abducted and murdered Jacob Wetterling. I believe that is what he is referring to. He doesn't have any proof, but it is what he believes.

    School Parents Want 1st Grader W/ Peanut Allergy Sent Home/Home-Schooled

    I thought that my sister had mentioned to me that my niece's allergy is less extreme (she's 19 now), but I don't know how she knows. But since my niece used to have reactions from the slightest exposure, maybe they've noticed that same exposure (for example, eating a cookie that was baked in...

    The Digital Age: Prolonged Adolescence in the Rising Generation?

    I have noticed this, too. So many young people I know, kids in their 20s, who can't cook, budget, or anything like that. I work for disability services in a college, and we have a very good tutor program. There are students who will text/call their tutors at all hours of the night/early...

    School Parents Want 1st Grader W/ Peanut Allergy Sent Home/Home-Schooled

    The parents can pull their kid out of school and keep her locked up and safe from peanut exposure, but to what end? We are here on earth to live our lives. Like I said earlier, my niece has an extreme peanut allergy. She was homeschooled for other reasons through elementary school, but began...

    Mother has children opt out of standardized testing

    I'm sorry for the double post, but I wanted to share an example of how standardized testing does not work. It is supposed to be a fair test for all students in the state, no matter where they come from or what their level is (here, every student takes the same test, depending on grade level)...

    Mother has children opt out of standardized testing

    We had something similar happen. My daughter had a first-year teacher for fourth grade. So of course this wasn't the best teacher she'd ever had -- classroom management was her priority, and my daughter didn't have as much homework as she even did in third grade. Fourth grade is one of the...

    School Parents Want 1st Grader W/ Peanut Allergy Sent Home/Home-Schooled

    Do they really need to do all of that? Or is the school just being overprotective to cover their butts? My niece has a very severe peanut allergy. She has to carry an epi-pen with her wherever she goes. When she was four her mother gave her a brand of candy bar that my niece had eaten...

    Mother has children opt out of standardized testing

    Although standardized tests scores are used to place students in classes, and teachers can use the tests to see if a student has met the basic standard, fallen below, or achieved a higher score, I don't consider the tests to be "for teachers." A student who scores below average may very well be...

    Bullying Victim Fights Back

    Interviewer: "Are you sorry?" Punk Boy: "No...." [looks off screen at Dad] "...I mean, yes." That kid has learned no lesson except to try to shift the blame. He kept looking to the left, looking down...I think he was lying about being bullied first by Casey. When Casey was interviewed he...

    Mother has children opt out of standardized testing

    Standardized tests do not determine what a child knows. A teacher-made test, sure. Other assessments in the classroom work great. But to lump all students together to take one test that supposedly accurately assesses them is wrong, in my opinion. We used to look at examples of our state's...

    Children's Train Derails

    http://www.wyff4.com/news/27255357/detail.html Just an update. I've heard from some friends that the mother of the little boy who died has gone into labor. I can't even imagine what their family is going through right now.
