Kerry Campbell, Mom Who Gives 8-Year-Old Botox, Being Investigated By Child Welfare Services (VIDEO)

All it takes is for someone to show you something in a different way to 'get it'. The mom obviously has self-image problems so she passed them on to and through her child. That is a mental problem that with help, I am SURE she can be a great mom. Just help her. Her daughter seems otherwise happy and healthy. The child will suffer if you just snatch her from her mom...I investigat­­ed Differenti­­al Response Systems (DRS) in Child Protective Services (CPS) where there are alternativ­­es to just snatching a kid away. It's called community and family supports. Best used for poverty and mental illnesses (which result in low-level cases of abuse).



Yes, this was a 'stupid' move but is she a stupid person overall? Everyone has a negative opinion about everything but never ever stop to think about the consequenc­es of harsh & fruitless actions. What about the parents of smokers? They do more harm to kids than anything and no one blows smoke (pun intended) @ THEM about putting their child in harm's way.

Michelle Obama Dons Duo Of Looks To Poetry Workshop & Evening Celebration On Wednesday (PHOTOS, POLL)

The problem is that Fox News & their hate propaganda made people really think that Common is a vile rapper. He has changed the style of music with his positive rap style & lyrics. I'm sure he is no angel but who is? As far as Hollywood goes...he is anyway. But Fox & their followers couldn't and wouldn't believe that. So they create stories and of course since they 'know everything­' (insert rolled eyes here)...pe­ople believe them without checking for self. Also...who even cares about rap? The man was reading poetry!!! That is what bugs me. They focused on his rap...and that is NOT what he was there for. smh

Rielle Hunter, John Edwards Wedding Planned: Report‎

Ok...I have a HUGE problem with the way this story is 'reported'­. However, I wouldn't put it past him. His wife died like yesterday (OK...last month to be exact since I have respect for her & the dead overall)..­.& why would he wait if this is true? Scum has no feelings. But I will think nothing more of it until a credible source reports it. Huffington­...I can't believe you cited the Hollywood Gossip for citing the National Enquirer. LMAO! Hilarious. I nearly laughed if I had not remembered my manners and respect for the actual situation.

Children Attack Man In D.C. Metro While Bystanders Watch (VIDEO)

For all those screaming that he should have done this & that in defense...­remember that the video would have 'convenien­­tly' only showed him beating THEIR lil demon butts. You have to tread carefully with kids. Being a big ol grown man...he probably endured the 'beating' instead of getting himself in trouble. When he said no one helped...I­­'m guessing he meant 2 act as witnesses or help him with his alibi of self-defen­­se b4 knocking the evil out of them.

Simone Back Announces Suicide On Facebook--And None Of Her Friends Help

No...Faceb­ook is something else all within itself. It creates a different kind of behavior in folks. I don't know what it is. They want fame & fortune. Attention. The meek use it as a voice to curse their offenders off. It's like no other social site if you ask me. It's far more prone to causing controvers­y & drama than the average social site.



I've said positive things & I get a few 'likes'. I curse someone out...all my 500 friends notice. It's a breeding ground for negativity­. Tired, angry folks looking 2 be heard or looking 2 find solace in another's life that may seem more crappy than their own.



I'm a Social Scientist that studies human behavior & social policy. I am intrigued by Facebook. It's my fav sight for 'research'­.
