Do You Want Your 10 Year Old to Have Sexual & Reproductive Rights?
Do You Want Your 10 Year Old to Have Sexual & Reproductive Rights? | Vision to America
The United Nations is once again trying to underscore Christian and American principles by pushing for worldwide sexual and reproductive rights for youth.
The United Nations Youth Conference taking place this week in New York has set the stage for the Y-PEER statement on sexual rights of youth. Y-PEER, a United Nations Population Fund initiative announced that youth need to have more sexual and reproductive rights including the right to chose (aka – abortion). While the statement does not define or specify an age limit for youth, the standard used by the United Nations in all of its dealings defines them as ages 10-24.

New Jersey School District OKs Random Drug Testing for Middle School Students
New Jersey School District OKs Random Drug Testing for Middle School Students | Conservative Byte
Now here's a sure way to lose your child's trust! School's are to teach your children. Not to drug test them!
A New Jersey school district has signed off on a new policy to allow random drug testing for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students.
The new Belvidere School District program will begin in the fall, with parents choosing whether or not they want their child to participate.
Testing will take place in the nurse’s office, and students who test positive would not be punished or turned over to the police — instead, their parents would be notified and they would be required to attend an early intervention program. Parents would pay for the cost of treatment.

Do Grandparents Have the Rights They Should?
Grandparents Rights and Grandparent Visitation Rights
The experts report on the state of grandparent rights in the U.S. today
by John Bringardner
Richard Kent, a family lawyer at Fairfield, Conn.-based Meyers Breiner & Kent, frequently goes to courtroom battle for grandparents seeking visitation with, or custody of, grandchildren.
"The state of grandparents' rights is terrible," says Kent. Under the current laws, if a couple's adult daughter dies, he says, those grandparents could be denied visitation with their grandchild by the child's father.
Even if they had what most people would consider a classic grandparent-grandchild relationship and, let's say, saw their grandchild every Sunday afternoon. But in the eyes of Connecticut law, says Kent, unless grandparents have functioned as de facto parents — meaning they lived with their grandchildren or took care of them while the parents were at work — they are treated no differently than strangers.

Undocumented grandparents fight for custody of grandchildren
Undocumented grandparents fight for custody of grandchildren - Fox News Latino
Chicago – Though they are undocumented immigrants with little money, two Mexican grandparents are fighting in Chicago for legal custody of their five young U.S.-born grandchildren whose mother died of cancer and whose father was deported for domestic violence.
"For them we have always been Mom and Dad, never the grandparents," Maria Martinez said in an interview with Efe.

The other Supreme Court decision: It’s a slippery slope from provider to deadbeat
The other Supreme Court decision: It’s a slippery slope from provider to deadbeat - On Parenting - The Washington Post
Many readers weighed in on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on violent video games this week. The controversial ruling that California’s attempt to prohibit renting or selling violent games to minors violated free speech has inspired a spirited debate about parental and industry responsibility.
But the court also issued another ruling this term that will affect millions of families, even if it has received less public attention.
The case is officially called Turner v. Rogers. Unofficially, it was known as the “deadbeat dad” case.
The justices ruled in a 5 to 4 decision (PDF) to uphold the appeal of Michael Turner, a father who had been jailed for a year because he did not — he said could not — pay the nearly $6,000 in child support payments he owed.
The court decided that Turner’s incarceration violated the due process clause because he had not been told that his ability to pay was crucial to the case and the court never determined whether Turner could, in fact, make his child support obligations.
