"This sentence reflects an unthinkable betrayal by parents who are meant to protect their children from harm. Pearlene was denied the chance to grow up and become who she was meant to be. There is no punishment that can restore the loss of life."

The Court held in an 8-1 decision that because conversion therapy often takes the form of talk therapy, Colorado's law amounts to a content-based restriction on speech and cannot survive First Amendment scrutiny.

The school knows that they have this deepfake issue, and they all of a sudden add this clause to their enrollment contracts. That to me seems a little disingenuous and unfair, and it doesn't seem like someone's apologizing.

We really had a good feel for the place, and the nursery manager at the time really sold us on the vibe. It's not a decision that's made lightly.

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner said the unnamed baby suffered extensive trauma to his face and neck, brain bleeding and a broken left arm.

"This ban would be among the most restrictive in the entire country, helping to protect young people from harmful content and addictive algorithms that have a proven negative impact on their mental health," House Speaker Ron Mariano and House Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz said in a joint statement.

Oakland police say they adults pressured the girl into sex work, with Nelson allegedly "assisting" the trafficker, who hasn't been charged, court records show. Nelson's role included stealing "clothing and condoms" from a Target for the girl to use. The girl told police she was paid $100 for someone to look at her feet but wasn't sexually abused during the ordeal, authorities said.

Two boys, ages 12 and 13, were charged by a grand jury as adults in the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl in the garden area of a Miami apartment complex over the summer. Both boys were booked into Metro West Detention Center Thursday on charges including sexual battery with serious injury, false imprisonment and kidnapping.

A far-left Brooklyn pol is hoping the third time's a charm with socialist Zohran Mamdani now NYC mayor as she pushes legislation that could give "young people" carte blanche to commit crimes without fear of being arrested. The legislation, reintroduced for a third time on Jan. 29 by Democratic Councilwoman Crystal Hudson, would require that "young people" be "diverted" to "community-based organizations to receive services in lieu of criminal enforcement."

The parents object that these policies prevent schools from telling them about their children's efforts to engage in gender transitioning at school unless the children consent to parental notification. The parents also take issue with California's requirement that schools use children's preferred names and pronouns regardless of their parents' wishes.

Adult crime, adult punishment. That's the logic behind the bill championed by Argentine President Javier Milei to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14, which was approved this Thursday in the Chamber of Deputies. The new Juvenile Criminal Code, which received 149 votes in favor and 100 against, was debated for more than eight hours and now goes to the Senate for final approval.

At least 14 boys aged 14 to 17 were allegedly lured into Meyers' scheme to send him nude photos and sex videos, which he used to blackmail the minors. Meyers was charged with trafficking in minors, sexual extortion, unlawful contact with a minor, distribution of child sexual abuse material, criminal use of a communication facility, and more following his arrest.

The man is pleasant and friendly. If I had not known this information, I would have suggested he and his wife get together with my husband and other friends. There are no children in my household, so no one would be endangered by his presence. Should this information about his sex offender status change how I see or respect him? Neither he nor his wife knows that I know, and I don't plan to tell them or anyone else.

My local Target was the first place I noticed the shift. One day, a few years ago, a sign appeared: red text on white paper announcing that no one under 18 would be allowed in without an adult. Before the poster, every weekday afternoon, clots of teens would move through the arteries of the store, occasionally blocking them. The kids would laugh among themselves, swatch makeup on their arms, peruse the candy offerings.

Baby Victoria's body was found in a shopping bag in Brighton in 2023, after her parents concealed her birth and went on the run in an attempt to avoid contact with social services. Marten and Gordon, a convicted rapist, were both sentenced to 14 years for gross negligence manslaughter last year. The review, chaired by Sir David Holmes, sought to identify missed safeguarding opportunities, and to learn lessons from what the review called the "extreme case" of baby Victoria's death.
