| Husband and wife discover they are siblings Phnom Penh - A Cambodian man's joy turned to dismay after he discovered that his long-lost mother, who had survived the bloody Khmer Rouge regime, is also the mother of his wife. Tep Song, 35, and his wife Tep Ly, 38, had been removed from their village in the southern province of Svay Rieng and separated by Khmer Rouge troops in 1975 when they were five and eight, respectively. The pair told aid workers they met again when Song was 17 and extremely ill in hospital in neighbouring Takeo province and Ly was assigned as his nurse. They fell in love and married soon afterwards, unaware that they had any more in common than having been born in the same province. The couple had believed that the rest of their families had been wiped out. But Song, an itinerant worker, saved everything they had to make a trip to his home village to search for any surviving family - where he discovered his mother, Thit Sohn, 77. "At first, of course, they were overjoyed, but then the son and mother began naming other relatives who had been murdered," Prom Bopha of the Collect Safe of People (CSP) aid agency said in a telephone interview. "Ly was surprised, and told them these were also her relatives' names, and then they discovered they shared the same childhood memories, and before long they realised that they had the same father and mother," said Prom Bopha, whose group is caring for the family. "It should have been a time of great joy, but now the mother cries all day and all night," Prom Bopha said. "They are surprised and very upset and all three are now very ill." The couple has four children, aged between 14 years and 14 months. The ultra-Maoist Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia between 1975 to 1979. Up to two million Cambodians died during the regime's drive to turn the nation into an agrarian utopia, free of class systems, markets and money. The regime emptied the cities and often removed children from parents to more easily indoctrinate them. Thousands of Cambodians are still searching for family members. - Sapa-dpa |

| Rape victim's life in ruins, says mother 08/08/2005 - 19:11:51 A distraught mother whose daughter was subjected to a sadistic double rape said tonight that the teenager’s life was in ruins. The 15-year-old was brutally attacked twice by a man armed with a screwdriver while on holiday in west Belfast. After the assault he used a stolen mobile phone stolen to call and text her mother at home in the north of England and gloat over what he had done. As police in Belfast intensified their hunt for the rapist and a second man who forced three boys with the girl to watch the horrific ordeal, the victim’s mother told how she had been destroyed. The woman, who has not been identified, said: “She’s not the same girl we sent over here. “We sent over a lively, confident, bubbly teenage girl. And now she’s withdrawn and clingy and scared.” The girl was dragged into an empty petrol station forecourt on Blacks Road and raped early on Saturday morning. The three boys were stripped to the waist and beaten with an iron bar before all four were taken to a nearby golfing complex where a second vicious sex assault took place. Elaine Captain, whose son was one of the youths beaten, today revealed a chilling warned issued by their captors. “They said on their way into the golf course, ’This is where it’s going to get messy’.” Her 15-year-old boy, who she has asked not to be named, had been chased home after breaking free and escaping. “He was pursued by one of them and didn’t stop until he got to our back door, his face was scratched and swollen and his eyes were staring all over the place. I’ve never seen him traumatised like that,” recalled Mrs Captain. “Everything was just blurted out in a garble, telling me he had just seen his friend raped and that she could be dead or stabbed now.” ........ Eileen Calder of the Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Centre in Belfast said the attack was even more horrific than some of the worst sexual assaults carried out by paramilitary organisations and never reported to police. “We come across a lot of very brutal rapes, some even at gunpoint, that never get to the authorities,” she said. “But there was an element of sadism that was most shocking about this. Forcing boys to strip to the waist and getting them to watch.” |

| An Ajax church pastor has been charged with attempting to have sex with a child after a man met with who he thought would be a 12-year-old girl, police said. A man had been chatting on the Internet with an undercover officer posing as the young girl for the past four months. They decided to meet at a public place in northwest Toronto on Tuesday. "He was shocked," said Detective Constable Scott Purches from the Child Exploitation Section of the Sex Crimes Unit. Det. Constable Purches started posing as a 12-year-old girl in an Internet chat room in April when he and a man began talking. He said topics of conservation quickly became sexual. "Over the course of four months, the chat became more sexually explicit to the point where he was prepared to drive across the city and meet in a public place," Det. Constable Purches said. Det. Constable Purches said the conversations began in a Yahoo chat room called Teen Oh Canada Chat, a widely used Website. The man allegedly used the screen name of "Garyneartoronto" and many of the chats occurred through instant messaging. About 40 conversations took place. Police seized five computers belonging to the accused at his home. Det. Constable Purches said it appears the suspect had similar conversations with other children. The undercover officer said the man was rather open about his appearance and age. Det. Constable Purches said it is unusual for the police to give such details in a case, but he urges the public, especially parents, to be aware of situations like this. "I'd like to ask the parents out there to speak to their children," he said. "And have an open dialogue with their children about [Internet] chats and specifically about this incident." Kenneth Symes, 36, the lead pastor of the Ajax Alliance Church, appeared in court yesterday and has been charged with luring a child under 14 and invitation to sexual touching. He is married with a child, police said. Rev. Symes has been the head pastor in Ajax since 2004. Prior to his Ajax post, he served as a pastor in Saskatchewan. |
Ok so who wants to play "lets go to yahoo chats and pretend we are preteen girls?"

| CNN hath quoted: KUTZTOWN, Pennsylvania (AP) -- They're being called the Kutztown 13 -- a group of high schoolers charged with felonies for bypassing security with school-issued laptops, downloading forbidden Internet goodies and using monitoring software to spy on district administrators. The students, their families and outraged supporters say authorities are overreacting, punishing the kids not for any heinous behavior -- no malicious acts are alleged -- but rather because they outsmarted the district's technology workers. The Kutztown Area School District begs to differ. It says it reported the students to police only after detentions, suspensions and other punishments failed to deter them from breaking school rules governing computer usage. In Pennsylvania alone, more than a dozen school districts have reported student misuse of computers to police, and in some cases students have been expelled, according to Jeffrey Tucker, a lawyer for the district. The students "fully knew it was wrong, and they kept doing it," Tucker said. "Parents thought we should reward them for being creative. We don't accept that." A hearing is set for August 24 in Berks County juvenile court, where the 13 have been charged with computer trespass, an offense state law defines as altering computer data, programs or software without permission. The youths could face a wide range of sanctions, including juvenile detention, probation and community service. As school districts across the nation struggle to keep networks secure from mischievous students who are often more adept at computers than their elders, technology professionals say the case offers multiple lessons. School districts often don't secure their computer networks well, and students need to be better taught right from wrong on such networks, said Internet expert Jean Armour Polly, author of "Net-mom's Internet Kids & Family Yellow Pages." "The kids basically stumbled through an open rabbit hole and found Wonderland," Polly, a library technology administrator, said of the Kutztown 13. The trouble began last fall after the district issued some 600 Apple iBook laptops to every student at the high school about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The computers were loaded with a filtering program that limited Internet access. They also had software that let administrators see what students were viewing on their screens. But those barriers proved easily surmountable: The administrative password that allowed students to reconfigure computers and obtain unrestricted Internet access was easy to obtain. A shortened version of the school's street address, the password was taped to the backs of the computers. The password got passed around, and students began downloading such forbidden programs as the popular iChat instant-messaging tool. At least one student viewed pornography. Some students also turned off the remote monitoring function and turned the tables on their elders-- using it to view administrators' own computer screens. The administrative password on some laptops was subsequently changed, but some students got hold of that one, too, and decrypted it with a password-cracking program they found on the Internet. IT staff at schools are often poorly trained, making it easy for students with even modest computer skills to get around security, he said. Fifteen-year-old John Shrawder, one of the Kutztown 13, complained that the charges don't fit the offense. He fears a felony conviction could hurt his college and job prospects. "There are a lot of adults who go 10 miles over the speed limit or don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign. They know it's not right, but they expect a fine" not a felony offense, he said. Shrawder's uncle, James Shrawder, has set up a Web site that tells the students' side of the story. "As parents, we don't want our kid breaking in to the Defense Department or stealing credit card numbers," said the elder Shrawder, a businessman. "But downloading iChat and chatting with their friends? They are not hurting anybody. They're just curious." The district isn't backing down, however. It points out that students and parents were required to sign a code of conduct and acceptable use policy, which contained warnings of legal action. The 13 students charged violated that policy, said Kutztown Police Chief Theodore Cole, insisting the school district had exhausted all options short of expulsion before seeking the charges. Cole said, however, that there is no evidence the students attacked or disabled the school's computer network, altered grades or did anything else that could be deemed malicious.

| Two teenagers performed a caesarean section on a dead cat they found along a New Brunswick road, saving two of four kittens. Monica Castonguay, 15, and Kim Quimpère, 13, said they found the animal on July 31 while they were on their way for a walk in the woods near St. Quentin, a town in northwestern New Brunswick. They told a French-language newspaper, the Acadie Nouvelle, that they recognized the cat and knew it was pregnant. After discovering that the cat's body was still warm, they decided to try to save its kittens – even though neither of them knew how to do a caesarean section or had studied biology. Kim borrowed a sweater, knife and some cotton swabs from a nearby house. They decided Monica would do the surgery. She told the newspaper she wasn't sure where to cut, but made an incision into the mother cat's belly and could see the kittens. She pulled them out and found that two of four kittens were still alive, so she cut their umbilical cords and wiped the mucus from their noses. Kim bundled the kittens carefully in the sweater, then the teens raced home with them. They telephoned several people but were unable to reach a veterinarian. That evening, a cat in the neighbourhood that had recently lost its brood heard the kittens mewing and adopted them. One of the kittens later died but the other was adopted by Monica. The teens said the experience in no way swayed them toward becoming doctors or veterinarians. Kim told the newspaper that she found the experience interesting but rather nauseating. |
Does anyone even read this thread anymore?

| SYDNEY: A man faced an Australian court yesterday charged with having sexual relations with a rabbit and the sadistic killing of 17 other rabbits whose carcasses were found dumped in a lane. Brendan Francis McMahon, 36, North Sydney, appeared briefly before Central Local Court Magistrate Allan Moore yesterday charged with having allegedly committed the offences over the past three weeks. McMahon, a New Zealand born finance company director, sat quietly in the dock during the hearing at which he was represented by barrister Doug Marr. No plea was entered to a total of 21 charges laid by polcie against McMahon, a business partner with Jason Meares, the former brother-in-law of James Packer. McMahon, who's company website claims he is a former Bachelor of the Year winner, was arrested by detectives at a house in Tamarama early yesterday. The investigation began after skinned and partially-skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a laneway off York Street, near Circular Quay in late July. The laneway adjoined a building in which McMahon occupied a first floor office from which he ran a financial planning and mortgage brokerage company. Before McMahon was charged police alleged some of the rabbits had been thrown from some height into the laneway. In addition to 17 rabbits, police also found a dead guinea pig in the lane. Alarmed at the continuing discovery of freshly killed rabbits, some whose genitalia had allegedly been mutilated, detectives began contacting city pet stores to determine who had been buying rabbits. Police found that a credit card in McMahon's name had been used to purchase the animals at a number of pet shops. Police also seized a security video showing a man buying a pet. In all McMahon was charged with 17 counts of acts of aggravated cruelty upon an animal between July 20 and August 11. Advertisement Advertisement He was further charged with committing an act of bestiality with an animal between 3am and 4am on August 1. McMahon was further charged with two counts of possession of cannabis. His barrister, Mr Marr, told Mr Moore that McMahon would not be applying for bail today but would make a formal application next Friday, August 19. Mr Moore formally refused McMahon bail and ordered him to reappear before the court via a prison video link next week. |

| A man dressed only in a nappy who has approached a number of women on Teesside is being hunted by police. The man has hidden in bushes in Eaglescliffe before moving towards the women and asking: "Are there any baby changing facilities in the area?" Cleveland Police said they are becoming increasingly concerned about the man's behaviour after several incidents in the past few months. They want anyone with information about the man to contact them. The latest happened on Sunday night in a play area on Wentworth Way. 'Bizarre antics' The man approached a woman walking her dog and said to her: "Are there any baby changing facilities in the area?" The startled woman said no and walked off, leaving the man still running around dressed in his nappy. Insp Ian Garrett said no-one had been assaulted but the man's antics were bizarre and a cause for concern. He said: "There have been several reports of him having been seen in Eaglescliffe dressed only in a nappy and we are keen to trace him and speak to him." Similar sightings earlier this year in the Stockton area of a man also wearing just a nappy are not being connected. |

| Teen`bride' forced to flee By NIGEL ADLAM 17aug05 A 14-year-old girl and her family have fled a Territory community after her middle-aged arranged husband was jailed for having sex with her. The Northern Territory News understands the community has turned on the teenager and blamed her for the man's imprisonment. Independent MLA Loraine Braham said the girl was being treated like the offender. The girl left Yarralin, a community 400km west of Katherine, and moved to Darwin. The 55-year-old man was jailed for one month for having unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl and beating her with a boomerang. Chief Justice Brian Martin, who heard the case in the open at the community last week, said he had considered jailing him for only the rising of the court _ a few hours. But he thought two years with four weeks to serve was the minimum sentence he could impose. He said the man was caught between traditional Aboriginal law and modern Northern Territory law. ``I have a great deal of sympathy for you,'' the judge told him. Ms Braham said the case should have been heard in the Supreme Court in Darwin _ where the girl could |
