April 13th, 2010
• It’s no wonder Gene Weingarten just won his second Pulitzer Prize for this brilliant and heartbreaking piece:
Fatal Distraction: Forgetting your child in the back seat of a car is a horrifying mistake. But is it a crime? (The Washington Post) UPDATE: Please note that this story is very difficult and upsetting at times.
• The interesting thing is, regardless of how foolish this artist or her fans think this rule is, she’s getting more publicity for her artwork now than she ever would have from posting it on Facebook:
Facebook furor as nursing mother paintings censored (The Toronto Star)
• Speaking of Facebook:
Facebook adds child protection features to “Safety Centre” site (The Globe and Mail)
• And again, but this time for those of you with blatant disregard for the safety rules:
Is it acceptable for parents to hack into their kids’ Facebook accounts? (The San Francisco Chronicle)
• Yeah, Disney, why don’t you pick on another family member? Like Crazy Uncles, or Eccentric Grandmas:
Wicked no more: rehabilitating the step mom (The Globe and Mail)
• You know, like when he somehow has enough lunch money saved up to buy a car:
Parents of kids who torment sometimes slow to pick up on the warning signs (Yahoo)
• “Take that back or I’ll smack you!”:
Spanked children more aggressive (CBC)
• When you see the list of great people who did it, it makes you wonder if it’s really that bad. At least until the heebie jeebies kick in:
Seven historical figures who married their cousins (Mental_ Floss)
