    Mother reports 9-year-old missing, police say he was arrested

    The child is a minor and should have had his parents called as soon as he was arrested. I think the police could have left a note for her, gone to the school to find the mother's work details or asked a neighbor. If the child didn't cooperate with them, there are ways to find a parent and the...

    Gender Issues

    I think it would depend on who was available and the officers experience. Women who have have more experience with rape or assault cases may be sent as it maybe help the case. I don't think gender makes much of a difference these days, but it depends on the area and how many officers are active.

    Florida boy accused of shooting homeless man

    There seems to be no motive, but pure malice which is even worse. By the sounds of it, he was known to the police and the neighborhood. Maybe with stricter laws he could have been caught earlier on a less serious crime and this one prevented. I do hate how people think they can treat homeless...

    Becoming a murderer without killing anyone?

    I studied this case and it is controversial but it varies from state to state. In this case as they were juveniles I do think they the law was harsh, but it was a result of a premeditated crime. On further examination, they watched their friend die as they hid in the closet and did not help...

    3 year old Philadelphia girl killed

    It's a tragedy that bystanders get caught up in these incidents that should not have any guns involved. I'm sure they have found who was responsible as there seemed to be quite a few people around. Th sad thing about the girl was she on on her own front porch which should be safe, even though...

    Man Fakes 911 Call To Avoid Ticket

    Some people really are stupid and I'm glad he got caught. I wonder about the name though, did he give his real name and they put that across the radio. The worst thing is these officers could have been helping someone else in need. The abuse of the 911 system like the 999 system is strict to...

    Insane, Just maybe...

    There is temporary insanity as a plea, but he should have asked for a lawyer when he was arrested. It does seem premeditated, but if he has a history of mental illness then it will have been documented. The hardest thing is proving temporary insanity and that's when other factors are taken into...

    What can I do to be safe while running or walking outside?

    When i used to run or go for walks I am always conscious of my surroundings. I never listen to music and always run near the curbs and away from parked vehicles. The important thing is to be sensible and not to take risks, which means walk or run in an areas where there are people or you know...

    What's your favorite music genre?

    I don't have a particular genre, I like rock music with good lyrics and guitar riffs and equally classical music like Beethoven. I used to play the piano so I like certain pieces that I learned as a child which has influenced my tastes. I do think music is more manufactured these days, so the...

    Do you ever lie about the town you come from?

    Maybe they think you are an alien?:rolleyes: I really don't think it matters that much, but sometimes people look for some sort of connection. The thing is where I come from I barely know the area, so if people ask me I may have heard of places, but I don't really know anymore than what you...

    Have Wondered If . . .

    I've heard of these stories because people want to die, but for insurance reasons they cannot commit suicide so they try to stage an incident where they will get shot. It may sound drastic, but it's often the case when insurance is involved as many don't pay out for suicide. That's why even if...

    Your dream job?

    My dream job would be to be paid to travel around the world and test all the spa hotels for a fortnight each. That would suit me and be ideal and I know I would do a good and fair job of reviewing it all. Of course I would have to try all the treatments and facilities which is why I would need a...

    What's a short joke that always makes you laugh?

    I'm really bad at jokes, but laughed at this when I was a kid and if people ask me to tell a joke I would tell them this and they never ask me again; Why did the koala bear fall out of the tree? Because it was dead..

    Stranded On a Island, What would you bring?

    I like the idea, then you could live on the yacht and you would have everything you needed. As most people said they would need a companion, books and I would bring a pan to cook with. That's only if the yacht option wasn't available of course. I wouldn't really need anything else if there was...

    Do you ever lie about the town you come from?

    People do judge though, that's the thing and at school people would define you and your status by the district you were born in or live in. I generally say the closest big town because unless you are from the area, you wouldn't have heard of it. As you get older, you realize it doesn't matter...

    why do most people like dogs more than cats?

    I'm more of a cat lover because cats are more independent and easier to take care of. Dogs you need to wash and pick up their poop, plus they smell when they are wet. It's nice taking a dog out for a walk, but they are a big responsibility and you can't decide to stay over at a friends or take a...

    Mama's girl/boy or Papa's girl/boy

    I am neither, and am the eldest. I wouldn't say I was a favorite because I ended up spending most of my time looking after my sibling who was mummy's little boy and still is. I guess as I was very independent from a young age, I never had that kind of bond.

    Ladies lusting after pastors.

    Naturally this is wrong, but as a pastor is seen as a confidante and a counselor, people get close and attached and those boundaries get blurred. Often people turn to people they trust and that's what happens and the pastor being human gets too involved and crosses the line.

    Judge halts Missouri execution of black man sentenced by all white jury

    He was executed a few days ago and refused his last meal. Having read a little about the case, it appears his initial defense team was weak and the team used for the appeal were looking for any means to stall the execution. It highlights the necessity of good legal counsel if they are public...

    Internet trolls and getting caught

    It crosses the boundaries of the laws of defamation if people are named, so just because it's online doesn't mean it's illegal, but is harder to trace. It's no different from a newspaper or website writing an article about someone that is untrue. If it names someone on social media or a forum...
