State Sen. Kathleen Marchione says New York should consider implanting chips into prisoners in case they escape

"...The GPS-chips could be implanted into the bodies of the most serious felons, like murderers, she said...
“I think we need to do something to protect the public so we can know where the inmates are if they ever escape,” Marchione said....

She said she’d first like to see how much the chips would cost, if their feasible and if the practice would be constitutional...."

The birth of a psychopath (with video)

"(CNN)After every horrific crime that shocks us, the next question we often ask is, "How could anyone do such a thing?"
If the criminal is a psychopath, the answer is very simple. They don't feel empathy or guilt. So instead of asking, "How could they do this horrible thing?" the more pertinent question might be, "When did they start doing horrible things?"...

Welcome to the Commune Where 100 Adults Raise 17 Kids

"...“Growing up at Twin Oaks, you’re surrounded by people whose pace of life is generally a bit slower than ‘outside’ life. There’s just a little more time there, and people are more relaxed, a little happier. It’s a rich and nurturing atmosphere, full of people who have time to talk to you and are generally in good moods,” she says. “So imagine growing up in that.”.."

Labor, satisfaction, and tofu manufacturing in the anti-hippie commune.

"...It was a few years ago now that I was at Twin Oaks, but I think about it often. The Virginia commune sits on 450 acres in Louisa County, not too far from the flannel-and-khaki university town of Charlottesville. Forty-odd years ago, when the community was founded, Twin Oaks consisted of an old barn and a few outbuildings near a tobacco field. By the time I first visited, in 2010, the property comprised seven group houses, a large kitchen/dining room/gathering hall, a swimming hole, a graveyard, a woodshop, a tofu production facility, a hospice building, a dairy, a hammock workshop, several greenhouses, and an extensive garden. Though the population is in constant flux—the communal type turns out to be equal parts roving and committed—Twin Oaks has been at, or over, capacity in recent years. Its approximately 100 residents include a three year old with princess hair, a high school track star, a former USC a capella singer, several polyamory advocates, a Buddhist who studies Latin for fun, a small crew of pagans, and the guy from They Might Be Giants’ older brother..."

Virginia Commune Still Draws Members After 40 Years

"In the 1960s, they were called communes. Today, they're known as intentional communities. Some are spiritually-based. Others focus on environmental concerns. But all believe in sharing. Twin Oaks, located two hours south of Washington DC, is one of the oldest intentional communities in the United States. VOA's Susan Logue paid a visit."

ILTBP- Praying that baby Lily is on the road to recovery.

Niner- Love the pic of your brother. Hope you are doing well.

 

[Bernina]

Pages, I am curious about some of the things you wrote about. I got some explanation from DH MD, but I am trying to figure the other stuff out.

What kind of suction did they have at home? IIRC, most babies are given the nose secretion suction bulb. Did she have respiratory problems requiring suction of her lungs?

Secondly, did the ER docs actually miss the hairline skull fracture initially? That sounds more plausible than them not telling little mama about it. It sounds to me more like they dropped the ball....

Ribs in infants are cartilage and it is indeed possible to crack the cartilage with back blows during choking incidents. They can't determine the cracks on X-ray. They have to do an ultrasound typically, or a CT scan?

Was Lily in a car seat when she sustained the skull fracture? Or hit by the airbag? I am assuming Lily was in a backwards facing car seat in the front seat due to age. I am so glad no one was seriously hurt as that sounds dreadful and scary.

Zuri, have I said how cool it is to have you here with all your knowledge about medical stuff? It's like having WebMD 2.0 on the sidebar!!!!!:tyou: Now, if you could just walk me through the tail end of menopause.....:gaah:



:floorlaugh:

 

[Bernina]

Things are changing from my last post. Things might not be as they appear. The last was the dr. viewpoint? at this time, but CPS and the police are looking at this much different

We got to talk with little mama after the last call, and she told us more of what happened. We had heard that little mama was uncomfortable with new daddy's mother being around Lily. So yesterday when new daddy took little mama to work they left Lily with his mother for the first time. he dropped her off at 8: 30 and no one knows when new daddy went back to the apartment, but sometime in there something happened to Lily, and he said he caused the injuries by suctioning her and pounding on her chest when she was chocking, and called 911. So Lily was careflited and new daddy and his mom went to the hospital, while little mama was only told she was at the hospital, and she thought maybe her upper respiratory virus had got worse. She said she walked in and she's surrounded by police and they separated her and new daddy, and she was then told what had happened to Lily. She didn't get to see her at all.

She said that CPS asked new daddy to sign off his rights right then and there, and he is never to be alone with Lily, all visits will be supervised. Lily will be coming home with Loli in a week, and little mama can't be there unsupervised until the investigation is done. So she's going to stay with her aunt. My sister and I will take care of Lily all day while Loli is at work, so that's one step closer to dealing with this for now.

Little mama said the police told her that they had looked at new daddy's mother mental records and Lily isn't to be around her at all.. So what do y'all think? It could of been an accident or did new daddy get home and found Lily hurt? and he's covering for his mom? Loli -pop will gets to see Lily tonight - little mama is not doing well - she hasn't seen her baby since yesterday morning before she left for work.

I'm just wondering about this whole suction deal.............the only things like that are nasal syringe bulbs that I know of and I certainly wouldn't be putting one of those down a baby's throat. I called them "snot suckers" when my kids were little. My daughter refused to blow her nose until she was about 4 years old.

Ga. Supreme Court reverses Hemy Neuman conviction

"...In a 6-to-1 decision, the high court ruled the trial judge erred by allowing the notes and records of two mental health experts who examined Neuman before his trial to be entered as evidence.
"Because the trial court erred in admitting evidence, which was protected by the attorney-client privilege, we now reverse," the opinion says...

Despite objections from Neuman's defense team, State attorneys sought the records from Rand Dorney's and Thomas' meetings with Neuman. After two hearings, a judge ordered the defense to turn over all the doctors' notes and records to the State.
"We conclude that the trial court erred in disclosing to the State Dr. Rand Dorney's and Dr. Thomas' notes and records concerning Neuman," the high court's opinion says. "This evidence was not harmless, and therefore, we must reverse Neuman's conviction."...

"This case means so much for future people who are accused of crimes to have the confidence that they can speak to their attorney and that privilege will be protected," said J. Scott Key, an attorney for Neuman. "If they use a paralegal, or an investigator, an expert witness or a consultant -- that that is protected, that is sacred attorney-client privilege."..."

I think CPS has an office at Children's. Too many injured and beaten babies and toddlers come through there probably every day and night. I don't understand the right off the bat demanding new dad to sign off his rights. I can't go there yet (LE said last night someone was covering for the other and I took that as in him and little mama, not him and his mother) as to how this accident/incident happened. And when I try to figured it out I can understand somethings, but then there is that little nagging at the back of my mind.

You know you look back and think of the cut on Lily's lip a few weeks ago that was said to be her hitting herself in the mouth with her hand. My sister and I both owned a daycare and have never seen a two month old being strong enough to cause a cut or bruise.

The burn thing is puzzling. When I first saw it there were four little pimple like bites? in a square above the first blister which had burst, and it was spreading fast. So it's very likely a bite? We thought of a burn and new daddy's mom and kept it to ourselves. The Er Dr. did pop and take a sample of the fluid but we haven't heard anything about it yet.

The police detectives did tell little mama to think about what happened, and come in tomorrow and be honest and talk to them and tell them what she thinks happened there that morning.


My sister and I were waiting for new daddy to drop off Lily yesterday at three, he was running late and we were worried that he might of forgot and left her in the car. No one was answering our calls. Not little mama, new daddy, Loli or Pop. We now know why.

During this time I told my sister that I was uncomfortable with the woman being around Lily, and I didn't know why I had that feeling.

Little mama and new daddy were to move to Loli - Pop's this weekend and I wonder if his mother (her only son that she plays) is hurting Lily to get back at little mama?

You've been a mother...........go with your gut.

Our little Lily is sedated and in a medically induced coma. She has a healing skull fracture, three broken ribs and a hole in her throat. CPS just took custody of her. LE told us to go home. They raided the apartment they share with new daddy's mother, and I don't know if they were looking for something with blood on it that would of cut her. My sister is a wreck. her daughter, the new grandmother, Loli, is so scared, and Pop (loli -pop) is our calm and reason. I went over to my sisters and her other children were there , along with grandchildren and cousins. Not doing much of anything, but just a comfort to be with family. Lily turned three months old today. Pop said she will be OK but it will take some time for her to heal. I think they're seeing an attorney in the morning and will file for managing conservators, so she came home with them, and not into a foster home. If that happens then my sister and I will be taking care of Lily for her. LE told Pop that someone is covering for the other, and they;re not sure a this point.


Last week new daddy brought Lily to us (instead of us going to pick her up) on his way to work.(He works nights, and picks up little mama at Loli's house around midnight, takes little mama to work and keeps her during the day before we get her. His mother is also there with new daddy, but little mama has mentioned that as soon as her son walks through the door she wants him to do things for her, not. Little mama has also (we get this through the grapevine) said she is not comfortable with the other grandmother being around Lily. They were also going to moving in at Loli-Pop, and don't know if something set her off.

Last week new daddy brought her to my sister and I and she was in a long sleeve footed sleeper. New daddy said she just had a bath and her hair was still damp. So we take her in the house and my sister changed her diaper and there was sticky stuff on the inside sleeve on her right arm, so we left her in just diaper for awhile. We had friends stop by and they held her and I fed her a bottle. While I was giving her her bottle, I looked down at her arm (she had one spot that looked like a blister that had been burst and was spreading) and she had another blister that popped up in the time she took her bottle, and it was spreading.

So little mama came in and she and my sister took off for the ER ( Loli and Pop were on a ten day cruise, Pop got a picture and text showing Lily's blisters, Loli was frantic out there in the gulf with five more days to get back to Houston) , and that the ER dr, said it was a chemical burn, they wrapped her whole arm in an ace bandage. So, little mama took Lily to her pedi the next morning, who said it was an allergic reaction to who knows what, and when Lily and I were playing pat a cake that afternoon, and I started This little piggy and two of her toes on her left foot looked weird. They hadn't the day before, so little mama took Lily to the dr, twice that week. On was being constipated, and she showed him Lily's toes. He said a string had wrapped it self around her toes. She hadn't been in anything that had feet that long the day before and I'd think the swelling would be more pronounced.

So do we have a person that doesn't want her son who she makes wait on her hand and foot ( she is totally disabled somehow, but can walk up three flights of stairs and weigh around three hundred pounds) to leave her, or maybe a person with Munchhausen by proxy?

Just started reading this morning and saw this about your Lilly. I am so sorry, what is wrong with people anyway. I have more reading to do to catch up on the latest but please know you have my thoughts and prayers. (((hugs)))

Mr. Trump declared his candidacy in the atrium of the Trump Tower, the luxury skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in New York City, proclaiming that only someone “really rich” — like himself — could restore American economic primacy.

But Mr. Trump, who has never held elective office, may not be so easily confined to the margins of the 2016 campaign. Thanks to his enormous media profile, he stands a good chance of qualifying for nationally televised debates, where his appetite for combat and skill at playing to the gallery could make him a powerfully disruptive presence.

At present, Mr. Trump said, rivals on the world stage do not take the United States seriously.
“They say: that is a group of people, and that is a nation, that truly has no clue,” he said.

I wonder if he'd want to be addressed as "Mr. President" or "The Donald"?:thinking:

I was exploring the FBI Ten Most Wanted list last night, and ended up getting absorbed in the William Bradford Bishop case. I had read a little about it sometime back but had forgotten about it.... and ended up reading about it til 1:30 am. :sigh: It's such an intriguing case though, and so tragic and horrible how he murdered his entire family back in 1976. Then he just vanished and has been missing all these years.

Then there's the rather mysterious things surrounding the case and his disappearance, as in was he a spy for the CIA, was he being drugged by the CIA, is he in fact really the one who committed the murders ? It appears to me that he did, but .... And still other things that makes one go, Hmmm.

Anyway, I'll post some links in case anyone here is interested in reading up on it. There's also a thread for it here on WS though not much activity.
