POPSISPs Neglect Infrastructure: Think of Capping Downloads Articles, like this one, do not take into consideration the growing trend of multiple internet ports per home. For example, a home could have a parent on one computer downloading news videos, a child on another computer downloading Netflix or MP3s, and a third child could be on a PS3/Xbox playing online. This type of house could easily surpass the monthly limits. Additionally, bandwidth needs typically doubles every year, so one house may only need 10 GB per month now. However, next year they will likely need 20GB per month. How are placing caps going to provide ISPs with incentive to increase their infrastructure? It will not!

POPSChild bodies found in freezer What kind of comment can I possibly make about such an obscene tragedy? ~~~~ She is going to jail for a long time and will live with women, many of whom likely have children of their own -- in foster care(?). That about sums it up.

POPS17 month old baby dies despite court monitoring Wow! You supposedly monitor a child via a court order and you still allow him to get injured? Either this child's parents are very sly or some documents have been doctored to appear as if he was being monitored. Very sad.

POPSMore than just supporting abortion "Killing alive unborn children in females’ bodies is bad enough, but Barack Obama went even further, to defend the killing via neglect of alive BORN children. It is downright ghoulish that he is proud of that record and is still trying to spin his deceit in the Saddleback interview."

POPSCradle of maternity in the brain discovered The study also showed that a partial restoration of Pet-1 function in the developing brain of females partially restored their serotonin levels, and maternal behaviour in adulthood. The finding indicated that subtle changes in the embryonic formation of the brain serotonin system in females could impact the quality of the maternal care they later provide for their offspring. The researchers say that future studies with Pet-1 deficient mothers may help to further elucidate the link between serotonin and maternal behaviour, and lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches for treatment of post-partum depression and child neglect.

POPSA Warning to Obama Neglect by the Clintons is hardly to be overlooked as this ambitious pair had better things to pay attention to in their furious political rise to the top than their daughter. And sexual abuse is not to be totally ruled out either given Bill’s sexual tastes. Not for Hillary, who is sufficiently self-serving and devious that one would not be surprised to see her team up with Huckabee on a national reconciliation ticket to satisfy her political ambition. Hopefully Obama will not be removed by the ruling class by assassination, which they would do if methods to remove him don’t work. These could include much media humiliation or using their federal prosecutors on a leash to try Resko at this most inopportune time or even Resko inventing a story about Barack in order to trade 15 years over his head for two. Or something like that. Post from supporter

POPSThe Feral Child She weighed 46 pounds. She was malnourished and anemic. In the pediatric intensive care unit they tried to feed the girl, but she couldn't chew or swallow solid food. So they put her on an IV and let her drink from a bottle. Aides bathed her, scrubbed the sores on her face, trimmed her torn fingernails. They had to cut her tangled hair before they could comb out the lice. Her caseworker determined that she had never been to school, never seen a doctor. She didn't know how to hold a doll, didn't understand peek-a-boo. "Due to the severe neglect," a doctor would write, "the child will be disabled for the rest of her life." Hunched in an over sized crib, Danielle curled in on herself like a potato bug, then writhed angrily, kicking and thrashing. To calm herself, she batted at her toes and sucked her fists. "Like an infant," one doctor wrote.

POPSChild Detainees Battle System Alone
Eight immigrant youths suing the Abraxas Hector Garza Treatment Center in San Antonio describe being beaten repeatedly, so severely that several required hospitalization. The abuse continued even after it was reported to their caretakers' supervisors. In Nixon, Texas, ten detained young people filing a Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid lawsuit allege repeated assault and retaliation upon reporting the abuse. Of course, most abused detainees do not have access to pro bono lawyers and cannot hope to sue; much more often than not, their stories go untold. For the most part, however, the facilities' violations are kept from the public eye - and the eye of the federal government doesn't see much of them either, according to a recent OIG report noting that "interviews with Department of Unaccompanied Children's Services central office officials indicate that little oversight of facilities occurs." Federal officials aren't required to meet with children when they visit the facilities.

POPSThe Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls ... fabulous book! This is such a remarkable story told with brutal honesty and an unbelievable recall for detail! It is so incredibly hard to believe that someone could have grown up in America so extremely poor. Chapter after chapter, you think omg.... that has to be the absolute worst story of hardship ever and then in the next chapter something even worse befalls the author. It is a wonder that she made it through such extreme poverty and neglect to write such an amazing book.

POPSSoldiers families Suffer Rates of neglect and abuse of the children of servicemen and women rose 42% within the family when the enlisted parent was deployed on a combat mission, according to a new study led by senior health analyst Deborah Gibbs of RTI International, a research institute in North Carolina. Previous studies have shown an association between combat-related deployments and higher levels of stress in the family, and it is this stress that is thought to play a major role in the maltreatment of children by the parent who stays home.
