Two boys, ages 7 and 9, have admitted to raping a toddler. The 2-year-old victim's brother, age 5, saw the two neighborhood boys abusing his sister and told his mother. The boys initially blamed each other but gave similar details about the Aug. 9 crime, which included penetration.
Dear Abby: I am writing about your response to "John in Savannah" (Feb. 1), the 24-year-old man who is unsure how to explain to people that using a belt to discipline his three little girls is different from abuse. Sometimes, in order to teach that actions or behaviors are inappropriate, some form of punishment, whether it's a spanking or a time-out, becomes necessary. I give my children three chances when they misbehave. If they continue, they are punished. They know that there will be consequences if they do wrong. Like John's children, mine are also frequently praised for being courteous and well- behaved.
Criminal Law: Constitutional arguments/challenges must first be raised at the trial court level and will not be considered for the first time on appeal; a thirty-five aggregate sentence did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment for two counts of rape and three counts of gross sexual imposition perpetrated against two children below the age of thirteen; citation to the wrong statute in a sentencing entry was, at worse, harmless error when the trial court corrected the mistake in an amended entry; trial court did not err in telling appellant prison time was mandatory pursuant to R.C. 2907.05(C)(2)(a); trial court does not err when it does not make factual findings pursuant to statutory provisions struck down in State v. Foster.
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court declared Wednesday that executions are too severe a punishment for raping children, despite the "years of long anguish" for victims, in a ruling that restricts the death penalty to murder and crimes against the state. The court's 5-4 decision struck down a Louisiana law that allows capital punishment for people convicted of raping children under 12. It spares the only people in the U.S. under sentence of death for that crime - two Louisiana men convicted of raping girls age 5 and 8.
State social workers did not violate the Fourth Amendment by entering a home without a warrant and removing the children where they already had reasonable suspicion of imminent danger or abuse, the 5th Circuit has ruled. The plaintiffs were the parents of two biological children and 11 children they adopted through the state children protective services department. Someone at the child's school contacted the state department after seeing one of the children with a food wrapper his father had pinned to his shirt as punishment for overeating. The child also stated that the father physically abused him and the other children. The social workers' interview with the child disclosed physical evidence of abuse.

I know I should be over this by now, but I'm still peeved at Del. Bob Marshall. On Feb. 18, Marshall, R-Manassas, said disabled children are punishment for women who've aborted their first pregnancies. That outrageous statement was made at a news conference to oppose state funding for Planned Parenthood.
If Philippe Petit's infamous 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers sounds like an episode of 24, James Marsh's new documentary Man on Wire, a festival crowd-pleaser and award winner around the globe, makes it look like a 70s heist flick Incredible for its brash illegality as well as its derring-do, Petit's high-wire dance a quarter-mile into thin air quickly became a defining piece of Manhattan lore. (Another conspirator, Alan Welner, was taken into police custody, but gol off by claiming he was on the roof because he was a Village Voice photographer.) And allhough Petit was booked for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing, his initial punishment was just anolher high-wire walk for some crippled children.
The parents of eight Fayette County children who alleged former employees of a YMCA Child Development Center gave the children a toxic substance as punishment for misbehaving settled a civil lawsuit for $81,000. Minus attorneys' fees, each of the plaintiffs was awarded amounts ranging between $4,000 and $14,000, according to documents filed in the case. The money has been placed into certificates of deposit for the children.
