If your child is coerced or seduced by an Adult Sexual Predator into agreeing to have sex, the current legal statutes leave you no legal means to address the issue The statutes on sexual contact with minors in Ohio designate that it is legal for a child age 16 or older to agree to have sexual intercourse. While it is illegal in Ohio for people under the age of 18 to purchase tobacco or to vote and, a person needs to be 21 to purchase alcohol, and photos or videos of naked people of either sex under the age of 18 are designated "child pornography"....Yet, the age of sexual consent in Ohio is 16 years of age with no qualifying statements regarding the age difference of the participants. Sex between 16 year olds is a far different social issue than sexual contact between an older Adult of more than 5 years of age difference and a more than 16 but still under 18 year old teen. This leads to not only confusion and distress on the part of Teens and their Parents, it complicates legal proceedings unnecessarily. If your child is coerced or seduced by an Adult Sexual Predator into agreeing to have sex, the current legal statutes leave you no legal means to address the issue.

FROM: Dorothy Copp Elliott - mother of slain Archie “Artie” Elliott, III TO: THE OFFICE OF PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY On January 19, 1994 the grand jury in Prince George’s County released its report of no indictment against Officer Jason Leavitt of District Heights and Officer Wayne Cheney of Prince George’s County Police Department for fatally shooting Archie Elliott, III on June 18, 1993. Archie Elliott, III was acutely intoxicated, had failed simple sobriety tests, was frisked, handcuffed with his hands behind his back, secured by a seat belt and placed in the front seat of a police patrol car. Archie Elliott, III was shot 14 times for allegedly “POINTING” a handgun at the officers. Whereas, the grand jury found no criminal charges against the officers, YET the grand jury recommended standard training and additional training of municipal officers. Whereas, the Prince George’s County Police Department simultaneously declared the officers’ actions were justified; HOWEVER, the Internal Affairs Division stated “an improper search precipitated the events” in the fatal shooting of Archie Elliott, III. We, the undersigned citizens, formally register our strong protest because justice was denied in the police killing of this handcuffed 24-year old young black male who was in no condition to lethally or otherwise harm the police officers or anyone else. We petition the State’s Attorney to reconsider this case on the merits of all the facts. We further petition the State’s Attorney to thoroughly examine the guidelines the lead prosecutor used in presenting the information and evidence to the grand jury for their deliberations. We demand accountability from the police department and the grand jury for the use of unwarranted and excessive force in the death of Archie Elliott, III. The public is entitled to expedient, aggressive and professional scrutiny by the police department and by the grand jury in police related killings the same as they would in violent deaths that are not police related.

Many Virginia state residents are affected by drivers that get away with causing accidents merely because a lawyer can prove there MAY have been a fraction of a percentage of fault on the victim. This happened to me when I was rear ended while riding a motorcycle. An inattentive driver hit me from behind and because I wasn't going fast enough even though the truck was speeding, I get nothing more than $15,000 in medical bills, a loss of my mode of transportation, and unpaid time off work. Let's stop this from happening to others and make sure those causing accidents are held accountable. It's time to remove a law that only 3 states have been holding on to and move into a day and age that holds people accountable for paying attention to the machinery they operate. Time to make our roads a safer place or make those that don't want to be safe pay for their negligence.

My son Jake was a victim of a drunk driver on Sunday, June 30, 2013 in Mt. Pleasant, MI. Jake is 9 years old and with the daughter (12 years old) of his father's girlfriend. Both children survived with minor injuries, thankfully! The man who struck them was a second offense drunk driver, thus making it his third offense. Additionally, he had illegal possession of narcotics, adding to his charges. News reports told the man stated in his video arraignment that he was not working in his career and only made so much a month 'as a referee for high school games'.

I have known this woman and her sons for 35 years and this conviction is insane! She has loved and cared for animals’ everyday of her life. She has been terrorized for five years and because she spoke up, she is now facing 25 years in prison for something she is innocent of doing.

News just broke that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the nation's top-ranking Catholic bishop, secretly moved millions of dollars into a cemetery trust fund in order to shield the money from lawsuits filed by victims of clergy sexual abuse. In 2007, when he was Archbishop of Milwaukee, Dolan wrote that he wanted to transfer the funds because, "I foresee an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability." Then he lied about it publicly, calling allegations "false gossip" and "malarkey." Pope Francis recently said that he wants bishops who are "pastors close to the people ... animated by inner poverty ... able to watch over the flock that will be entrusted to them." Dolan put protecting the church's money ahead of watching over his flock. Let's make sure he sees that this scandal isn't going away, and it's time for him to go.

Jessica was a loving, caring mother of three, who was ruthlessly hunted down and murdered by an ex-boyfriend. For weeks an application for an order of protection was ignored by court and police officials. Several phone calls the day Jessica died were inadequately responded to by local officials. Her death was tragic and unnecessary.

Yes every American has been affected.

PA 511 is the law that CPS, the courts & law enforcement use to break the laws & CPS protocol in investigations & custody of children.

Jeff Olson is being prosecuted for scrawling anti-Bank of America messages on San Diego sidewalks in water-soluble chalk. He is facing a 13-year jail sentence, and the judge has barred his attorney from mentioning freedom of speech during trial. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech -- especially against huge banks and corporate interests like Bank of America. Judge Howard Shore has erred by disallowing this as a defense, and MUST immediately reverse his decision.

Owen Denson needs to be able to come home on Intensive supervision his young son needs him. For the past 4 years Owen has been trying to navigate the system which has punished him for being honest. Now Owen has less than a year left of his sentence. Owen has a job, family and friends waiting. Most importantly his pre-teen son needs him now! Owen has a good support system in place, but the powers that be are still dragging their feet. He is not asking for absolution just to be able to come home on ISP (which for those of you that don't know is an ankle monitor). I want to see how many people we can get to sign before Aug. 17, 2013 and I will present the results to the internal probation officer at the START program where he is currently being held.
