RSSFOSTER CARE/ADOPTION HELL:Judith Leekin Arrested in a House of Horrors:Police Find 9 Adopted Kids Handcuffed & Starved
What possesses people to mistreat and abuse others in such a heinous manner? Why 
Well if its Florida, it must be another case of either mishandled foster care or adoption. Such is yet again the case with 62 year old Judith Leekin, who allegedly duped four different New York City adoption agencies into allowing her to adopt 11 children. All of the individuals ranging in age from 15 to 27 were abused in one form or another. According to investigators, the teens and young adults were handcuffed, tethered together with plastic ties and allowed to soil themselves. They had scars on their wrists and some had burns. The abuse in some cases to place over a 15 year period as the adoptions took place between 1993 and 1996.
After further investigation and being granted entrance by Leekin, however, authorities were shocked to find eight people being held hostage in one of the home’s bedrooms.
“[The victims] initially denied being handcuffed. They seemed brainwashed or in fear of their lives,” said Vega. “These people have lived there for some time and we think they all came at different times, between 10 and 15 years ago. None of them appeared to have an education past the fourth-grade level.”
The people, who range in age from 15 to 27, told authorities they were kept handcuffed to one another, forced to sleep on tile floors on only a single bed sheet and were prohibited from going to the bathroom. As a result, they were forced to soil themselves. (ABC News )
HOUSE OF HORRORS: Judith Leekin allegedly kept her adopted children prisoner in her Florida home (above) — at the expense of New York taxpayers.
Judith Leekin is presently being help in the Port St Lucie County jail on $4.3 million bond. Leekin received somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million in state issued funds for the care of these adopted children. Care that was obviously never passed on to those that she was supposed to care for.

Five teenagers and four developmentally disabled adults were found in Leekin’s home at the time of her arrest in Florida, malnourished and poorly treated, according to Port St. Lucie police.

What is this world coming to? Has life become so irrelevant?
In Atlanta, GA, the owner of a car dealership is accused of killing two employees because they continuously asked for raises. So much for the “open door” policy.
Rolandas Milinavicius has been charged with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Inga Contreras, 25, and Martynas Simokaitis, 28.
Milinavicius, who was having financial problems, told police he shot the two Thursday after they kept asking for more pay, said police in East Point, which is just outside Atlanta.
“He told us that he was under a lot of stress,” East Point police Capt. Russell Popham said. “Unfortunately, he decided to take his anger out with violence.”
In another even more bizarre story, a son kills his mother after going mental when the NY Mets lost a baseball game. 25 year old Michael Anthony stabbed and struck his mother to death after losing his temper after the NY Mets lost a game on Saturday.

One Happy Island? More Divorces in Aruba than Antilles
What happened to “One Happy Island”? It does not seem to be the case when in comes to wedded bliss in Aruba as compared to the rest of the Antilles.
“And it raises the necessary questions”, concluded the by-now former president Luis de Lannoy, who was succeeded last month by Lisbeth Hoefdraad, in the preface of the annual report. “Compared with all couples in the Antilles together, more couples in Aruba get a divorce. Would there be something wrong with the conjugal fidelity and the wedded happiness in Aruba”?
Amigoe; July 28, 2007: More divorces in Aruba than Antilles
WILLEMSTAD – Of all the divorces filed with the Joint Court last year, the majority were from Aruba; 616 versus 418 in Curacao .
The Juice Gets Squeezed: Goldman Family Wins Rights to OJ Simpson Book, “If I did It”
OJ Simpson scheme back fires as judge awards book rights of “If I did It” to the family of slain Ron Goldman.
The decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol to satisfy a $38 million (euro27.82 million) wrongful death judgement against the former football star ignored complaints from the family of Simpson’s murder ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, who was slain along with her friend Goldman in a brutal 1994 knife attack.
After all this time, it is about time that OJ Simpson has been put in his place and hit where it hurts him the most … his pocket.
On Monday, Fred Goldman, Ronald Goldman’s father, said he intends to release the book as a measure of justice to portray Simpson as “a wife-beater, as a murderer, written in his own words.”

Al Gore III pleaded guilty to Drug Possession …
Al Gore III pleaded guilty today to drug possession charges stemming from his July 4 arrest when he was pulled over for speeding in his Toyota Prius. The charges can be withdrawn if Gore III successfully completes a drug diversion program.
Maybe someone needs to define what “successfully completes” means. Gore III was previously arrested for marijuana possession in Maryland in 2003, when he was a student at Harvard University; however, he completed substance abuse program to settle those charges. Gore III was also pulled over in 2002 for suspected drunken-driving. How successful was that previous substance abuse programs?
No Prison for Gore III. Did anyone really think he was? There was a better chance of Al Gore Jr. showing up to his son’s hearing in a HUMMER.
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (AP) – Al Gore’s son pleaded guilty Monday to possessing marijuana and other drugs, but a judge said the plea could be withdrawn and the charges dropped if he successfully completes a drug diversion program.
Authorities have said they found drugs in Al Gore III’s car after the 24-year-old was pulled over on July 4 for going 100 mph in his Toyota Prius.
He pleaded guilty Monday to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription, and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession, the district attorney’s office said.

NFL Coaching Legend, SF 49ers Bill Walsh Dies at 75 from Leukemia
A true coaching legend passes away … Bill Walsh dead at 75.
Bill Walsh, one of the most innovative and easily top 5 NFL coaching legends has died at 
the age of 75 after a long battle with leukemia. Bill Walsh brought the San Francisco 49ers in of the late 1970’s from a door-mat to the pinnacle of Super Bowl success in 1984. Bill Walsh, the innovator of the West Coast offense and the master of eying talent died today and left a big gap in the hearts of true football fans everywhere. Bill Walsh was simply known in football circles as “The Genius.”
Diagnosed with leukemia in 2004, Walsh had been in failing health for several months, according to Stanford University, where he served as coach and athletic director.
Cerebral, introspective and innovative, Walsh had an uncanny eye for scouting players and designing refined game plans. His offensive scheme — predicated on short, horizontal timing passes — fueled a dynasty in San Francisco with Super Bowl victories after the 1981, ’84 and ’88 seasons. (LA Times)

Jack McClellan, Self-described Pedophile, Has A “How To” Web Site
UPDATE: Self Admitted Pedophile Blogger Jack McClellan Arrested Near a Child Care Facility
Are you kidding, Pedophile for Dummies!!! A self proclaimed pedophile, Jack 
McClellan, has a web site that has since been taken down after the outrage that was a “How To” for Pedophiles.
This man is nothing but a ticking time bomb and our children are the one’s at rick. McClellan reportedly has no record and skirts the free speech laws of this country in a most heinous way. Jack McClellan supposedly according to all accounts has no criminal record, yet that may be just because he has not been caught. Parents … this is what lurks out there among us.
But his mere presence in Los Angeles — coupled with Mr. McClellan’s commitment to exhibitionistic blogging about his thoughts on little girls — has set parents on edge. One group of mothers, whose members by and large have never met before, will soon band together in a coffee shop to hammer out plans to push lawmakers in Sacramento to legislate Mr. McClellan out of business.
“Just the idea that this person could get away with what he was doing and no one could press charges has made me angry,” said Jane Thompson, a stay-at-home mother in East Los Angeles who recently read Mr. McClellan’s comments about a festival in her neighborhood in which he seemed to be describing her child. (NY Times)
The site, Seattle-Tacoma-Everett Girl Love, which has now been taken down was actually around for a couple of years. This is simply unbelievable that this is deemed ok to go on and then we are outraged when we hear that a child has been molested by one of these creeps.

Dog Day Afternoon: Tony Taylor Expected To Plead Guilty & Make Deal in Michael Vick Dog Fighting Case (Update: Pleads Guilty)
Dog day afternoon, or morning in this case for Michael Vick … Co-defendants plea deal 
just made matters a bit more sticky for Atlanta Falcons NFL quarterback, Michael Vick. It’s about to get a lot worse for Michael Vick this afternoon. Co-defendant, Tony Taylor, is expected to appear before a judge today and plead guilty as part of a deal with prosecutors in the federal dog fighting case involving Michael Vick. Of course it will be rebutted by the Vick defense team that Taylor is doing this to save his own hide. However, the indictments against Vick and his co-defendants were so heinous, any involvement in this alleged crime of dog fighting will be damaging to Michael Vick both on and off the football field.
Taylor’s quick plea could mean he has agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in their case against Vick and two other co-defendants, Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips. Vick, Peace and Phillips’ trial date is still set for Nov. 26 before Judge Henry E. Hudson.
