Neglect

Image: Rob Lee Due to a combination of physical illness, mild depression and my general apathy I recently went through a phase - a relatively long phase - where I neglected myself far too much. The consequences, sadly, were not good. More often than not I wouldn’t bother to get dressed. By the time my feed was finished being pumped into me it was already past noon and as I knew I’d be

Fellow inmates also begged for help after Victoria Arellano started vomiting blood in their holding cell, where her lawyer [...]

After she was stopped by police, she was falling down drunk in the middle of the road as her children sat in the car.It all began when a Pasco County Sheriff's deputy noticed Adam's 2002 Honda Odyssey being driven erratically.

Bletchy Park owes us all a debt of gratitude, not just here in the UK but around the world. For those not in the know, Bletchly Park is the: Historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during WWII and birthplace of the modern computer. Basically without Bletchly our World War 2 would have been made a lot [...]

It is known as the Veil and is described by its architects as a giant glass Muslim headscarf in the heart of Paris. The former French president Jacques Chirac saw it as one way to avert a clash of civilisations in the run-up to the Iraq war. President Nicolas Sarkozy calls it the symbol of France's friendship with the Arab world. The Louvre's bold new Islamic art wing had its first stone laid by

UPDATE:Las Vegas, Nevada -- (ThaLunatic Daily) A major update has recently been occured in the Jason Rimer case we reported on back on June 10. The case where two neglectful parents left their disabled 4 year old son out in a roasting hot vehicle in the Nevada sun - FOR 17 HOURS. He was later found dead by the Rimer's older teen son.On Wednesday, police charged Jason's parents, Stanley and Collen

Amy Winehouse Nipple Slip uncensored version here Here's Amy Winehouse put her nipple on display in London during Nelson Mandela's Birthday concert. Speaking of Amy Winehouse's nipples, which I really wish we weren't, but I’m actually pretty shocked that this is the first time Amy suffered a wardrobe malfunction, I mean unintentionally. Yeah, I know, as far as nip-slips go, Amy’s wasn’t all

I ask for the privilege of not being born.... until you can assure me of a home and the right to live as long as I am physically able to enjoy my life. Not born until my body is precious and men have ceased to exploit it because it is cheap and plentiful. UKNOWN

Biological parents in nineteenth-century children's literature are a sorry lot, to say the least. They are constantly succumbing to influenza or typhoid, and when they manage to survive past their offspring's tenth birthday, as Jim Hawkins' mother does in Treasure Island, their behaviour is an almost suicidal mix of foolishness and cowardice. They may be kind and loving, but a few white blood

Carehomes in the UK are substandard. That is an official fact. While the World Health Organisation sorts out the rest of the world, there is no one to look at the overt cruelty within our care homes in the UK. I think you discover the true extent of cruelty when you sit in Accident Emergency for a few days. You then discover how many moribund patients come in from elderly care homes. From their bl

Tavares, Florida (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Chad Carey, 39 and Diana Carey, 42, have been arrested on multiple charges of child abuse and neglect. The arrest comes after a prior abuse conviction and lengthy history of abuse/neglect issues that have been logged by the Florida Department of Families and Children (DFC).Chad and Diana Carey were arrested on Sunday after police were alerted to alleged

Today’s teens are the most affluent generation of young people to date. Over one-third receive some kind of allowance from their parents, and nearly three-quarters work around the house to earn it. However, a new report shows that although teenagers are highly motivated by money and the myriad products and services for which it can be [...]

Whitney Port Nip Slip Picture Here's 'The Hills' star, Whitney Port gives us a glimpse of her nipple when her revealing dress allows one of her breast to briefly slipped out of her blouse while she was eating lunch at the Ivy. What a perfect angle, there must be a paparazzi lurking somewhere to get these great nipple slip pictures. In fact Whitney Port has always tried to keep out of the eye

The Prophet Muhammed's residence for 28 yearrs. One of the great mysteries of Saudi Arabia is why the religious establishment and the government treat the Kingdom's historical sites so shabbily. Either through willful destruction or neglect, many of the historic treasures of Madinah, Makkah, Jeddah and in the Empty Quarter are now gone. Ancient mosques, the Prophet's residence in Makkah, old railroads and desert communities have disappeared under frenzied construction of new projects or simple neglect. I often asked Saudis why these historic sites are not protected and I've never received a clear response. Much of it has to do with the religious fundamentalists who insist that historic buildings or places must not be venerated or held as an object of worship. Religious leaders are especi

Shirking the small details makes more of a difference than you'd probably imagine. My fingernails are always black and chipped from some project I'm in the middle of completing and the balls of my feet are always rough and dirty from walking barefoot all day. To the average daily encounter I must look like I don't bathe for weeks. I've *never* had a professional manicure in my life let alone a pedicure. So that's why the theme of our bi-weekly MOPS meeting was right up my alley. They say pedicures and manicures are as much about relaxation as they are about the aesthetics of having nice-looking nails. See my introduction to the world of pampered rituals above (I'm wearing black) By the looks of things, some of us start earlier than others. How cute!

East Naples, Fla. ( ThaLunatic Daily ) -- It's time once again to pick a winner for our bad Mother of the week. A few days ago we featured a story about couple who had locked their babies in a concrete based room with nothing more than a bottle of curdled milk. This week, such conditions will seem like heaven to this woman's poor children. Read on and see if you agree. Evelyn Mora.

Air filters are one of the most important parts of an air conditioning system and often one of the most neglected.

The removal of these particulates is extremely important [...]

THURSDAY, April 3 (HealthDay News) -- An estimated 91,000 babies in the United States were victims of maltreatment in 2006 during their first year of life, including 29,181 infants who suffered abuse or neglect during their first week of life, federal officials reported Thursday.The report -- the first national examination of the risk for nonfatal maltreatment of children less than 1 year old -- was based on data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System. "We weren't surprised by these numbers, but we certainly were distressed," Ileana Arias, director of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, said during a teleconference. "It's a picture you don't even want to imagine, that this number of infants are being maltreated

(AP) About 1 in 50 infants in the U.S. are victims of nonfatal child neglect or abuse, according to the first national study of the problem in that age group.

Today, i was just gonna post a part of chapetr 8 from my mos recently completed novel HER KISS WAS NEVER MIND. However I decided not to, and may post it Thursday or friday.With that said, the heart, although vascular, reticular and muscular, is really a vacuous organ. Sure it transports blood and fills blood with oxygen, it doesn’t have any meaning outside of an anatomical and physiological compensation unless you allow other in or unless you are allowed inside of others hearts. I came to this conclusion while being a chief with my boy Smoove. For those of you who are unaware, I am leaving academia so that I can be a lot more lazy (yep, I know it is grammatically incorrect). Well really, I am going to do something I have been dreaming about for a while – open up a dog clothing bout

I know I haven't pulled this site up for a while. Alas, I have once again neglected my humble little blog. Any time I get on this computer, I'm wandering on over to Dreamweaver and attempting to piece together my Cella's Round Trip website. I'm not sure what it's missing, but I just can't get it to look right. So, I've neglected my writing in the name of seeking other people's writing. I'm not sure what's best really. So far, my submission seeking skills have truly sucked.And if I'm not piddling around on my website, I've been shopping. In the last couple of days I've spent too much money. My thighs are actually sore from running around trying to find Erin the right bathing suit - one that would accommodate her chest. Let's just say the "junior styles" didn't work. We had to go w

I just realized how long it has been since I updated.  It was almost as if my post became a lonely sticky, atop the page.  This season has been quite busy, but I have been enjoying it like never before.  There are tasks to be done: tree trimming, Christmas cards, working on the San Diego Track Club website, trying to find time to finish getting the house ready to sell, wrapping presents, FINALLY finishing thank you notes from Allie’s birthday a month ago, and always wanting to put a dent in the laundry that has taken on a life of its own. Allison is growing up so fast.  She is such a happy, wonderful little girl.  We have our occasional two-year old outbursts, but she is such a good little girl. Allie and I went to Knott’s Berry Farm today (sorry, too lazy to put up a link).  It was such a great day.  We met my childhood friend Pam and her beautiful family, my parents, my nephew, and my sister this morning.  We spent most of the day in Camp Snoopy, where the kid&rsq

This was the motion (i.e. the proposition - the thing that is to be debated on) for the octofinals of the National Debate Championship. It’s quite interesting and very relevant regardless of which country you set it. In the United States, the Baby Boomer generation is aging and they will need to be taken cared of some way. We’re all quite aware that not all families in the US observe the same level of family ties that we in the Philippines are accustomed to. I know it’s a gross understatement, but in a society wherein divorce is an everyday fact of life and where it is not uncommon for children to move out to exercise their right to emancipation, the parents are usually left by wayside. If the parents are lucky, their children will probably visit them during Thanksgiving or Christmas, but as far as actual cohabitation and geriatric care is concerned, it’s a vast gray area. The medical care field was fast to anticipate this problem of course. The past decade ha

I was inspired to share my insight on Animal Abuse & Neglect after recently reading on my local craigslist about a woman giving away two of her cats only to find out somehow that the adopter tortured and killed them. This directly relates to my most recent statement about deeply believing in respecting the Earth and ALL of it’s inhabitants. I also have to add that I am a committed animal lover. Dogs and Cats alike. (more…)

I just wanted to talk briefly about the whole Ellen Degeneres deal.  If you haven’t heard about it, this is the story:  Ellen adopted a dog from the agency Mutts and Moms (which is a non-profit dog rescue agency).  After adopting Iggy (the dog’s name), it was discovered that he did not get along with [...]

We all know what animal shelters are and what their purpose is. But what about pet owners who think they run their own shelters? I’m talking about the people who have more animals than they can possibly care for…animals that are too skinny, chained up all the time, and are in very poor [...]

Libregamewiki now far eclipses this blog. About 40,000 pageloads, 12,000 visitors were recorded in my stat yesterday. This blog is so far got at best 5,000 pageload in its best month(which is July).The wiki got dugg.Thus, the wiki grow bigger, even though many of the contributions are essentially worthless(people adding freeware games and such).Little did I know that submitting the wiki to FSDaily would create such a chain reactions.Digg propel my wiki to traffic unimaginable probably 3 days ago. It is an amazing achievement for me.But I been neglecting this site. It is hard for me to write stuff on this blog. My effort on the wiki already reap great benefit.I planned to revive the site and then cranks out great articles to read. Thus making my blog useful again.

Since its discovery in 1922 Vitamin E has become generally regarded as one of the body’s most powerful, versatile and useful anti-oxidants.  And as such its importance should not be underestimated, because anti-oxidants are the principal defense against the free radicals which are responsible for much of the degeneration and consequent disease which afflicts the human body as it ages. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of vitamin E in protecting against and restricting the progression of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis. Vitamin E also appears to have anti-coagulant properties similar to the drugs prescribed for this purpose, and may therefore help to protect against the highly dangerous blood clots which can lead to stroke – still one of the main causes of premature death and disability in the western world. Vitamin E is also needed in large quantities by the brain, the proper functioning of which is highly dependent on the efficient tran

I’m sure by now most of you have heard about this awful story. Apparently, Michael and Iana Straw of Reno Nevada were so addicted to video games and the Internet that they practically starved their two children (age 22 months and 11 months) to death. They’ve both pleaded “guilty” and face a possible 12-year prison term. Prosecutor Kelli Ann Viloria said that the couple had food in the home, they just chose not to feed their children. The 11 month old girl weighed only 10 pounds, had a mouth infection, and was serverly dehydrated. Authorites also had to shave her hair because it was matted with cat urine. The 22 month old boy was treated for starvation, genital infections, and severe muscle deterioration. You can read the whole story here. Some experts are now claiming that Internet addiction may be based on a psychological disorder. In fact, some are going as far as equating it to a drug addiction. I don’t know if I buy it. Now, I will be the first to a

So yes im afraid to say that i've been neglecting this blog...this is in part due to my computer being out of action and so therefore im unable to download much new music, which isn't good.However, this has allowed me to re-connect with a whole host of albums that I have on CD.This ranges from...Metallica - "Black" AlbumAmen - We Have Come For Your ParentsAC/DC - If You Want Blood, You've Got ItEnter Shikari - Take To The SkiesThe Haunted - One Kill WonderNirvana - NevermindRage Against The Machine - The Battle Of Los AngelesTest Icicles - For Screening Purposes OnlyBring Me The Horizon - Count Your BlessingsWolfmother - "Self Titled"Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated "R"In particular i've really got back into Nirvana.There was a programme on BBC 2 about thewhole seattle scene, focusing on bands such as REM and Mudhoney, and of course Nirvana.The passion and "real-ness" of Kirt's songs really struck a cord with me, and it just made some of the bands and artists that are around today

The story of Edith Rodriquez, the lady who died of neglect at King-Drew hospital in Los Angeles saddened me greatly. Not only is this a horrible story in and of itself, but it reminded me of my sister in law, Leticia Orozco (may God rest her soul), who died in the same hospital a few years ago. She was a wonderful person. I pray for the family and hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again. Rodriguez lay untreated on the ER lobby floor for 45 minutes before dying. A video camera captured the episode, showing that staffers and patients stood by as a janitor cleaned the floor around her. She was buried in Tehachapi on Tuesday.

Waynesboro Police DepartmentMedia Release March 28, 2007 Child Neglect On March 27th, 2006 at approximately 6:10 pm Waynesboro Police responded to a residence in the 400 block of Arch Ave. upon receiving a report that an approximately 2 year old child was yelling for help through an open window at that location. Upon arrival officers observed the child and attempted to contact any adults who might have been on premises without success. After speaking with the complainant it was discovered that two adults had been observed leaving in a vehicle about ten minutes prior to police being notified about the child. Officers then entered the residence to ascertain the welfare of the youngster and attempt to locate an adult. No adults were found but in addition to the two year old, who appeared unharmed, a 1 year old was located in a crib clothed only in a soaked through diaper with visible urine stains on the crib sheets and a strong odor of urine and feces permeating throughout the

I'm starting to believe that libraries are a dangerous place for the average book. We all expect that library books will suffer the same kind of abuse, and for the same reasons, that we associate with rental cars. If it's not that, we've seen enough stories about large numbers of books ending up in dumpsters to know that strange things can happen to books in the place that one would least expect those things to happen. Well, here's one more story that has to be a huge embarrassment to the library system in East St. Louis.For the 7,000 books sitting in a storage unit on State Street, it's abandonment all over again.The books were among at least 10,000 items including magazines and albums left in a shuttered city library for more than three years. Many of the items became makeshift beds or fire starters for homeless people, who broke into the library for shelter. A leaky roof damaged or destroyed many of the books in the building, at 409 North Ninth Street.Library officials admit

Valuable antiques rotting away... What a shame! I left the Patna Museum with a sense of shame and pity, as the artifacts were in poor condition and most of the galleries were closed (read.. hidden) to public view. Makes me wonder how much has already been stolen? Photography was prohibited in the museum... reason is apparent above. Patna Museum, Bihar, Oct2006, F/2.8, 1/20s, ISO-100

Psychological Interventions Can Reduce Child Abuse And Neglect "Although the prevention and eradication of child abuse and neglect is a high-priority societal goal, the fact remains that an overwhelming number of youth will become victims," Skowron said. "Results of the current study indicate that psychological treatments for child abuse and neglect are effective and can assist children and their families to regain their functioning and facilitate the development of healthy, productive lives." These researchers review 21 rigorous studies that included over 1000 children. They found that not only did children who had suffered abuse and neglect improved with treatment, they found that parents who had parent skills training improved their parenting skills. This is good news for victims and for programs who provide these critical services. Families at risk for child maltreatment are difficult to reach. Finding enough licensed providers to work with this population has been difficult at
