I have no idea what a “diversion” program is but I hope it has something to do with Being! Safe! At! Science! because basically that’s the only class our girl Kiera needs, because I don’t want her to blow her hand off when I’m hoping she goes on to do great things in college. And I say our girl because Kiera is OUR girl, over 200,000 of you signed a petition protesting her arrest and we talked about her on Twitter a lot. More
One thing I will never understand about moms who give birth in secret is why they leave their babies in the worst possible places instead of like, giving them to me or some other woman who would happily take their babies from them. I guess there is mental illness involved, considering moms who do this are obviously desperately unhappy to have given birth, and are probably in an extremely fragile mental state, but sheesh stop leaving your newborns in terrible places and take them to a hospital where they can receive medical attention and be adopted into a loving home.

I don’t understand the mentality behind feeling like you need to bring a gun to a parade to honor Mother’s Day but that’s exactly what happened yesterday in New Orleans when three people opened fire on a crowd and ended up injuring at least 19 people. I’m a mother, mothers are my people, in my world you don’t mess with mothers and children and this entire thing infuriates and saddens me beyond belief. I would go to a Mother’s Day parade. I would go and bring my children with. I think a lot of us would, why not? More
We don’t love Ramsey because he is a “hilarious black neighbor.” It helps that he tells a great story, that he seems like the type of guy you would love grabbing a beer and eating some barbecue with, that he is charismatic and honest and funny, but we love him because when so many people in the world mind their own business, Ramsey did the exact opposite. He is the sort of neighbor we all want. He is the sort of man we want to see more of, those who find out about a rape and then think about homicide. More
Jeremy Drew is either a truly brilliant child or else he has parents or guardians who really hate the po-lice. When he found a cop had pulled up on a pedestrian sidewalk and parked his motorcycle to go into a convenience store to get a soda he stopped the officer on the way back to his bike to ask him if there was an emergency. When the cop doesn’t reply to Jeremy he asks him if he can have his badge ID number. Part of me thinks this kid is totally awesome and was in his rights to request this officer’s identification and to question him on his irresponsible parking job, but part of me feels like this is a bit too precious to be real. More
So one down, thousands more to go, and in the meantime, I’m going to make all my kids sleep in my room tonight. I don’t know how we stop monsters like these thinking about committing such terrifying crimes, but I do know I hope this one has a happy little “accident” in prison. More
The friends and families of the girls have held vigils every year waiting for them to be found and now what an amazing Mother’s Day miracle. Based on things social workers and local police had told the parents of Michelle Knight they had concluded that their daughter had run away from home. I can’t imagine the relief all of these people are feeling today. More
And I hate the fact the press is calling this a “Mommy Makeover” because it makes it sound like Adriana DeSilva was just some vapid housewife who hated her “mommy” body and that she felt she needed a “makeover.” It feels like it’s just another poke at women who are expected to remain somehow flawless no matter what their bodies go through (childbirth) and how they age. More
I can’t stand this story. This is one of those times I wish I had a wayback machine so I could go and take all these kids out of their home and make this tragedy go away and have never happened. Hope Kaneshia Hawkins, age 21, has been charged with homicide by child abuse after leaving her four children alone. A fire broke out in their trailer in Hartsville, South Carolina and all of the children died of smoke inhalation. More

It’s all so sad and awful and sounds like the plot to some V.C. Andrews book. Â I can’t imagine ever being so desperate to have a child, especially when you have three other ones, that you would resort to forcing one of your teenage daughters have one for you. And the fact that she drew up this Mother’s day list just breaks my heart. More
Celebrities can mainly suck it, unless they are truly great humanitarians and donate a gazillion dollars yearly to charities and act like decent people when they are out in public. Reese Witherspoon -Â yeah, yeah Election was a great movie and I suppose she was pretty good in Walk The Line but come on, does Reese really think she can afford to act like such a bitch when she has starred in so many bad movies over the years?

Remember when I wrote about the family who had the pet pitbulls who attacked the toddler and you guys got all rage-y at me and told me all about how everyone should have 20 dogs roaming free in their yards and that dog breeders are awesome people and pitbulls are not strong dogs at all and they are as dangerous as kittens? Well, the mom in this case is being charged with second degree cruelty to a child and faces up to ten years in prison More
Little is known about the new Aurora case at present but it’s the same sad old story we have heard so many times over the last months, stories about Jane, about Rehtaeh, about Audrie, girls who snuck out of their homes, who went to parties with their friends and peers, who drank too much or had alcohol forced down their throats , who ended up raped.
