Well, it's about time !!
Question: Do scent tracking dogs lose their ability in the state of Virginia ?
This case makes me question whether those abilities are genuine or just urban myths. It may turn out these dogs are just really expensive pets for LE to carry around in their K9 SUV's.
Not my call, but I completely disagree with any child in a situation like this being interviewed by the media...in any form..so soon after her recovery.
And...the house sitter rocks..a lot of people would be fearful of getting involved.
This is somewhat OT but I find it extremely disturbing to see the same story being told over and over again about young girls finding guys on the internet on various sites that are frightening beyond belief!
In Ontario a new Sex Education curriculum is being introduced into the school system. There is great controversy surrounding what is being taught and when and I'm not going to get into that however.....one piece of the curriculum, which is being taught at a fairly early grade, is INTERNET SAFETY!
I believe, UNFORTUNATELY, that this is a very necessary piece of the curriculum and unfortunately I think it's something that has been missed with the spread of the internet.
Part of the sex ed controversy is what is being taught and the age and should it be the schools or parents.
I do not have children but I understand how so many of today's teenagers think they know everything and that their parents are over protective. The Internet has opened up a whole new avenue for pedophiles that has proliferated beyond belief.
Maybe Internet Safety with a view to sexual safety should be taught in schools. To be honest I'm for anything that makes kids sit up and take notice and not believe everything that they see on the internet.
I'm so sad that this keeps happening.
Too late to edit. Here is a direct link...oopsBenjamin Shook pleads not-guilty in connection to AMBER Alert
snip
After pleading not guilty, the defense claimed that Shook suffers from some sort of mental defect that hinders his understanding of the proceedings. Therefore, Judge Clifton Corker ordered Shook to undergo a forensic evaluation for mental health.

The internet is, has, and always will be dangerous. I used aol to talk to strangers when I was the ripe old age of 13 in the 90s. I remember my dad grounded me for about 3 months when he found out I was making calls to New York and Minnesota.
Now, I wasn't going to tell my story, but I think it is VERY relevant. I was 16 or 17 and talked to a guy online that told me he was 25. He lived in NY and would listen to me complain about my family, give me advice, etc. I trusted him a lot and he was always very kind to me. I ended up having very strong feelings for this man.
One day I got very upset with my parents and he told me that the train near my house goes directly to his hometown in NY (I'm in MD) and that I could always find "refuge" with him if I wanted. I started looking at prices and saving my money, but I didn't have a high paying job and couldn't afford it at that time. He sent me $50 to help me save up. Then he admitted to me he wasn't 25 like he said, he was 40.
Now.....I was 17 and he was 40. Once I found out he had lied to me, I was upset and stopped planning my trip, but continued to talk to him. I ended up joining the military and lost touch with him about a year later.
Looking back, EW. That guy was creepy and disgusting. But my point is, this kind of stuff could happen to ANYONE. I wasn't slutty, I wasn't a runaway, and I wasn't a delinquent. I simply needed someone to talk to, and found him in a chat room. He could have really hurt me if I had the money for that train ride. I know divine intervention kept my butt at home. (And lack of money obvi.)
The internet is dangerous business. Kik messenger is just a modern-day chat room. Getting rid of these apps won't make these people go away; they will find their way to kids regardless.
