Mom settles for $143,000 after infant taken away over faulty drug test

Posted on by

“A Pennsylvania woman whose infant daughter was taken away from her by state authorities when she was just three days old, all due to a false positive on a drug test, won a $143,500 settlement Tuesday. The lawsuit alleged that a drug test she and her child were unknowingly subjected came back positive for opiates because she ate an ‘Everything’ bagel hours before giving birth. That carb-heavy treat turned into a genuine nightmare for Elizabeth Mort, who had her infant daughter Isabella literally taken out of her arms at her home days after returning from the hospital, all authorized by an emergency protective custody order.”

19-Year-Old Commits Suicide After Sheriff Posts Bullying Facebook Message

Posted on by

“The Latah County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho had posted a photo of 19-year-old Pullman, Wash., resident Andrew Cain alongside a message saying, ‘We have decided that Andrew Cain is no longer the Wanted Person of the Week… he is the Wanted Person of the Month of June. Congratulations!.’  A few days later, Cain took his own life. Whitman County Coroner Pete Martin said that Cain had suffered from depression ‘and a number of problems.’ The Latah County Sheriff’s Office told HuffPost there were three warrants out for Cain: one for driving without privileges and one for possession of a controlled substance, while unable to say what the third warrant was for.”

Government’s Spirit-Crushing Hatred Of Lemonade

Posted on by

“Traditional civil liberties such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion ultimately rest on an individual’s ability to exercise the right of economic ownership over his or her own body. To attack economic rights is to attack civil liberties. And it is not funny when police with guns close down a 4-year-old’s lemonade stand. It is damned frightening.”

The Latest Suburban Crime Wave

Posted on by

“One mother is hauled off to the police station. Another is clapped in handcuffs. The mothers’ offenses? They let their kids wait in the car while they ran a quick errand. The laws differ in their particulars, but basically they state that a child under age 6, 7 or, in Utah, 9, cannot be left alone in the car for more than five or 10 minutes. In Nebraska, having your 6-year-old wait in the car is an offense in the same category as allowing the child to be ‘deprived of necessary food’ or ‘sexually exploited.’ In Louisiana, a second kid-in-car infraction carries a sentence of not less than one year in prison, ‘with or without hard labor.'”

Teens urged to promote ObamaCare to parents under California grant

Posted on by

“The Los Angeles school system reportedly plans to use a state grant to promote ObamaCare, in part by teaching students to become ‘messengers’ for the law. The Heartland Institute first reported on the grant, one of $37 million in state grants announced in May by Covered California, the state’s health insurance exchange. Of that, $990,000 was awarded to The Los Angeles Unified School District. A brief synopsis of the grant says it would be used for ‘outreach calls’ to families and ‘adult-student class presentations.’ But it also states as an objective: ‘Teens trained to be messengers to family members.'”

New Jersey Just Banned Trash Talking in High School Sports

Posted on by

“Starting this fall, high school students in New Jersey who taunt each other during games will be subject to investigation not only by the state’s athletic association, but the state’s government.  Thanks to collaboration between NJSIAA, the New Jersey Attorney General, and the New Jersey Civil Rights Division, ‘discriminatory conduct will also be reported to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights and may result in further investigation.'”

Charges Dropped Against Teen for Wearing NRA T-shirt

Posted on by

“14-year-old Jared Marcum, who was suspended and arrested in April over an NRA t-shirt that he wore to school, has had all charges against him dropped. The decision followed massive controversy, including a threat of a gag order. A local news station reported that the dismissal order signed by Judge Eric O’Briant stated, ‘The state of West Virginia is not interested in the possibility of creating a juvenile criminal record for this defendant.’ A statement which has brought Jared’s mother, Tanya Lardieri, to tears of joy.”

Very Bad News for Europe’s Young People

Posted on by

“Big business, big labor, and big government are getting together and considering a €100 billion slush fund that will line their pockets.  They want us to believe this will lead to more jobs for young people, but they overlook (and hope we’re unaware of) Bastiat’s warning about the seen and the unseen. Expanding the EIB will simply divert resources from more productive uses. So what’s the answer? Here’s what I recommended as part of some speeches earlier this month in Europe. I began with what should be a common-sense observation that businesses won’t create jobs unless they think new workers will add to the bottom line.”

Is There Hope for Recent College Grads?

Posted on by

“Since the great recession, the labor market has become an especially difficult place for recent college graduates.  The unemployment rate for 22-year-olds jumped from 4.5% in 2000 — at the tail end of a historic technology boom — to 10.3% in the 2009 — 2011 period, according to a presentation Thursday by researchers at the New York Fed. Possibly more concerning is the spike in underemployment among younger workers. Those are recent graduates who have jobs that don’t require a degree, such as a salesperson in a retail store, a food server or even an electrician. In 2001 the underemployment rate fell to as low at 35%, but last year it rose to 44%.”

Young Americans may dodge health law

Posted on by

“Young Americans may have been among the biggest supporters of Obamacare, but they may also be the least likely to comply with the law.  In 2014, benefits experts say, the cheapest option for 20-somethings will be to pay the penalty for not buying health insurance, rather than paying for any health insurance at all—that is, provided they don’t get sick. And as more young people do the math, more seem to be deciding the Affordable Care Act isn’t such a good deal for them: Support for a national health-care plan dropped nearly 11% among American college freshmen between 2008 to 2012.”
