Posted: 07.12.2002 No g-news is good g-news
Well here's one that ought to get 'em talking... Sesame Street is going to introduce an HIV+ muppet. "The upbeat female Muppet will join Takalani Sesame on September 30 for its third season on the South African Broadcasting Corp." Good for them!
This local story has ripped my heart literally in two. A baby sitter killed a 2-year old boy because he soiled his pants. He and his girlfriend (a cousin to the toddler's mother) then put the tiny body in their trunk and dumped it off the interstate -- reporting him missing afterwards. The toddler's mother is currently in jail, charged with violating her probation for writing bad checks. This story just got me. Normally I don't feel much sympathy for convicted murderers, but I hope this old man and his victim's family have now found peace. Here you can see live webcam images of a raid in action as a very young 'model' logs out of a chat and a police officer dashes past. It sickens me to see the other photo down the page (that I won't describe to avoid Googling). People get off on THAT?! Sickos. And perhaps Chateau Du Triomphe wasn't the best name for this Dallas mansion. "The main house, a 43,000-square-foot, three-story structure, had an Olympic-size swimming pool, two master baths with custom marble tubs carved in Italy from a single block of Carrera marble, a wine cellar with a tasting room, and a 16-car garage with its own carwash." And it all burned down to the ground. Oops. Very big oops.  I'm so happy that they are finally cracking down on those teen "model" sites. Most of those sites feature very young girls in semi-pornographic poses. The really disgusting part is that the parents of the girls actively take part in setting up these sites or sending in pictures of their kids in these suggestive poses. I say, not only go after the people who run the sites, but the parents of these young girls. ¤ ¤ credit: michele | 07.12.02 at 05:25 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ the story about the 2 year old broke my heart too. i was even more appalled to learn they just threw him out of the car somewhere on I-75. ¤ ¤ credit: kat | 07.12.02 at 08:54 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I can't read about the 2 year old. Your little blurb alone got to me. The one about the webcame is sick you are right. The screenshots at the top were interesting though. Stupid chick should have just unplugged the computer! *laugh* The things people do in this world.... ¤ ¤ credit: C.C. | 07.12.02 at 10:22 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I try not to read bad stories about little kids. The news breaks my heart every day as it is. Stories about children being abused, murdered, etc. could easily send back into depression. ¤ ¤ credit: michele | 07.12.02 at 10:36 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I probably wouldn't have even clicked the link if it hadn't been all over our local news. They found the body yesterday I believe not very far from here, so I wanted to find out all the details. Things like that are always a particular boiling-point to me, because knowing we'd faced several months of infertility (post-surgery and testing), an old "friend" that got pregnant last year told me "God blesses those who are ready and deserving. I'm sure your time will be soon." There are just so many examples like this that make my stomach turn -- my first reaction (and that of those close to me) is always "ready and deserving, my ass". Especially with the mother of this particular child in jail on unrelated charges. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 07.12.02 at 02:57 PM | link--this ¤ ¤i like a girl who is fun to talk to and excititing ¤ ¤ credit: hela | 09.14.02 at 12:17 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
