House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, promoted an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory on Monday night, claiming without evidence that the Republican Party was &#8220;coming after&#8221; viewers&#8217; children by fulfilling their constitutional duty in holding hearings to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
&#8220;A great part of the west is on fire. Our south — the gulf coast is battered by hurricanes,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;We have a pandemic in the country. We’re fighting for our heroes, our state and local government and federal employees who our health care, our first responders, our teachers, our teachers, our teachers, our sanitation, transportation workers.&#8221;
&#8220;We want them to test, trace, treat, wear masks, separate and the rest and we need public employees to do that. So we’re not about shutting down government. And it’s not a lever,&#8221; Pelosi continued. &#8220;By the way, the Republicans don’t believe in governance. It’s a welcome thing for them to shut down government. That’s why they have done it over and over. But in addition to that, you think if we shut down government they would say, &#8216;okay, now we won’t move forward with the justice?&#8217; No, they won’t. They won’t. Because they are on a path to undo the Affordable Care Act. They’re on a path to undo a woman’s right to choose and there are many more issues that relate to the LGBTQ commu&#8211;.&#8221;
&#8220;Clean air, clean water, pollution. They’re coming after your children,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;Protect your children from what they are trying to do in this court.&#8221;

Pelosi’s unsubstantiated claims come after Ginsburg died last week at 87 years old after losing the fight with her fifth bout with cancer.
Many Democrats have responded to the prospect of court becoming conservative by threatening to pack the court with multiple new justices if they win back the Senate and White House this fall. However, Ginsburg specifically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/honor-her-wishes-rbg-blasted-democrats-for-proposing-bad-idea-of-packing-supreme-court">warned</a> against doing this, calling it a &#8220;bad idea&#8221; that would “make the court appear partisan.”
“There is no fixed number in the Constitution, so this court has had as few as five and as many as 10. Nine seems to be a good number and it’s been that way for a long time,” Ginsburg said. “I have heard that there are some people on the Democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges. I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court, his plan was for every justice who stays on the court past the age of 70, the president would have the authority to nominate another justice. If that plan had been effective, the court’s number would have swelled immediately from nine to 15 and the president would have six appointments to make.”
“You mentioned before the court appearing partisan, well if anything would make the court appear partisan, it would be that—one side saying, ‘when we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of judges, so we want to have more people who will vote the way we want them to,’” Ginsburg added. “So, I am not at all in favor of that solution to what I see as a temporary situation.”

Forget Netflix and chill, more like Netflix and cancel.
The mega-streaming company has seen a slew of subscription cancellations after the release of &#8220;Cuties,&#8221; amid charges that the film is tantamount to child pornography.
Netflix released the movie on Sept. 9, followed quickly by a campaign by critics urging subscribers to #CancelNetflix. Three days later, cancellations increased to eight times the daily averages recorded in August, Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/cuties-backlash-netflix-cancellations-record-levels-1234769354/">reported</a>.
&#8220;With the #CancelNetflix hashtag continuing to trend on social media, it is possible elevated churn could continue in the coming days, according to the firm,&#8221; Variety wrote, citing data from research company YipitData.
Things might get worse for Netflix. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is urging the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into Netflix&#8217;s involvement with the movie.
“The film routinely fetishizes and sexualizes these pre-adolescent girls as they perform dances simulating sexual conduct in revealing clothing, including at least one scene with partial child nudity. These scenes in and of themselves are harmful. And it is likely that the filming of this movie created even more explicit and abusive scenes, and that pedophiles across the world in the future will manipulate and imitate this film in abusive ways,” Cruz wrote to Attorney General William Barr.
The disgust over the movie is bipartisan. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) also blasted &#8220;Cuties.&#8221;
“@netflix child porn ‘Cuties’ will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles &amp; help fuel the child sex trafficking trade. 1 in 4 victims of trafficking are children. It happened to my friend&#8217;s 13-year-old daughter. Netflix, you are now complicit. #CancelNetflix,” Gabbard wrote on Twitter.
But the film’s director Maïmouna Doucouré claims the movie is actually about the dangers of sexualizing young girls.
“It’s because I saw so many things and so many issues around me lived by young girls, that I decided to make this film and sound an alarm and say we need to protect our children,” Doucouré said.
Netflix echoed the claim in its own statement, saying &#8220;Cuties&#8221; is “social commentary against the sexualization of young children. It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up – and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) also called for the Justice Department to take legal action against Netflix, with Cotton saying &#8220;There&#8217;s no excuse for the sexualization of children, and Netflix&#8217;s decision to promote the film &#8216;Cuties&#8217; is disgusting at best and a serious crime at worst.&#8221;
Sonny Bunch of The Washington Post gave this description of the movie: &#8220;&#8216;Cuties&#8217; follows an 11-year-old Senegalese immigrant to France named Amy (Fathia Youssouf) who finds herself repulsed by her traditional Muslim upbringing. But the alternative, the movie suggests, is kind of horrifying in a different way: She falls in with a group of fellow 11-year-olds who are working on a hypersexualized dance routine so they can enter a dance competition. They get their ideas from the Internet, learning to twerk and gyrate and simulate sex acts.&#8221;

First, the Trump administration was ordered not to hold migrant children with their families in immigration jails. Now, the administration can’t detain migrant children in hotels before removing them from the United States.
The Associated Press <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/judge-orders-us-to-stop-detaining-migrant-children-in-hotels/">reported</a> Saturday that U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee ruled Friday “that the use of hotels as long-term detention spaces violates a two-decade-old settlement governing the treatment of immigrant children in custody.”
More from the AP:
<blockquote>She ordered border agencies to stop placing children in hotels by Sept. 15 and to remove children from hotels as soon as possible.
…
To prevent them from being allowed to stay in the U.S., the Trump administration has <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/17/ice-continues-arrests-despite-coronavirus-lockdowns/">taken at least 577 unaccompanied children to hotels since March</a>, where they are detained and then typically placed on deportation flights. Most of the children have been placed in Hampton Inn &amp; Suites hotels — two in Texas, one in Arizona.
That’s instead of sending them to shelters operated by the Department of Health and Human Services, where minors receive legal services, education, and the chance to be placed with relatives living in the U.S. Those facilities are licensed by the states where they are located. More than 13,000 beds in HHS facilities are currently empty.</blockquote>
In June, Judge Gee ordered the Trump administration to release children that were being held in immigration jails with their parents, the AP reported. The order applied “to children held for more than 20 days at three family detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the AP reported, noting that some of the children had been detained in the centers since 2019.
More from the AP:
<blockquote>Citing the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/01/trump-administration-urged-to-release-illegal-immigrants/">recent spread of the virus in two of the three facilities</a>, Gee set a deadline of July 17 for children to either be released with their parents or sent to family sponsors.
The family detention centers “are ‘on fire’ and there is no more time for half measures,” she wrote.
In May, ICE said it was detaining 184 children at the three detention centers, which are separate from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services facilities for unaccompanied children that were holding around 1,000 children in early June. The numbers in both systems have fallen significantly since earlier in the Trump administration because the U.S. is expelling most people trying to cross the border or requiring them to wait for their immigration cases in Mexico.</blockquote>
The outlet further reported in June that parents “refused to designate a sponsor when ICE officials unexpectedly asked them who could take their children if the adults remained detained, according to lawyers for the families.”
Immigration activists want all those who have entered the country illegally to simply be released. These activists now claim this should happen due to coronavirus concerns, but they were advocating for such a release even before the pandemic began.
Gee’s most recent order requires the Trump administration to send unaccompanied children to the HHS facilities, while allowing children to be held in hotels for one or two nights if traveling to different facilities.

It’s the 21st Century, yet nothing seems to have been learned from the Satanic daycare panic of the 1980s and 90s.
The allegations should have raised red flags to anyone even tangentially aware of the Satanic daycare panic decades ago: “Blood rituals,” needles in the eye, tongue biting, filming young boys to create pornography, inciting two young boys into having sex with each other, kidnap, and a slew of other sexual allegations.
Yet a family of seven that has operated a circus school in Australia were charged with more than 120 sexual offenses in 2018 until all the charges were dropped in February 2020 after they were determined to be untrue, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8685527/Blue-Mountains-circus-family-discuss-false-accusations-raped-little-boys.html">reported</a>. The family matriarch, 60-year-old Theresa Cook, was charged with 43 crimes and accused of being the ringleader behind the “systemic rape and detention” of three boys under the age of 10. The crimes were alleged to have occurred between 2014 and 2016. Theresa was accused of, among other things “aggravated assault of a child, sexual intercourse with a child under 10 and holding children against their will,” the Mail reported.
Her daughter, 30-year-old Yyani Cook-Williams, was accused of “inciting two of the boys to have sex with each other,” the outlet reported. She was also alleged to have raped two young boys with her mother.
Theresa’s brother, 54-year-old Paul, was accused of “filming at least one encounter on his mobile phone and three counts of aggravated sexual assault in company.”
Theresa’s adopted daughter, Meredith, was also charged with rape, assaulting two boys, and “depriving a boy of his liberty.”
In March 2019, the Cook’s attorney, Bryan Wrench, informed the court that one of the alleged victims had written a letter to his mother admitting that he had lied but said the mother hid the note from investigators.
The Cooks were arrested and some spent 206 days in jail, Wrench said. The charges were finally dismissed in 2020.
“Crucial evidence had been overlooked and the police had no leg to stand on,” Wrench said after the charges were dropped.
“It was probably one of the greatest miscarriages of justice this state has seen,” he <a href="https://www.9news.com.au/national/circus-sex-crime-charges-dropped-nsw-blue-mountains/6fa54c63-3bc6-488e-aad4-f91f7a59864c?ocid=Social-9NewsS&amp;fbclid=IwAR2Y28_Of0s14AiSHy79jtFYUME5bdAkTRrSPnLQiLcx8sghNEygATS-zK8">told 9News</a>.
Now, seven months after they were cleared, the family is set to appear on “60 Minutes” to talk about their ordeal.
“I was just told when I was arrested that I&#8217;d be in prison for 25 years to life,” Theresa says in the program, according to the Mail.
“I still get scared. Very, very scared,” she adds.
Yyani’s brother says he’d “never felt dread like that before in my life,” adding that he “was so afraid.”
Paul tells “60 Minutes” that he still carries “pain, sadness, some days despair,” even after the charges were dropped.
The story of the Cooks is reminiscent of the infamous McMartin Preschool scandal, where an entire family that ran a daycare in Manhattan Beach, California, were accused of performing Satanic rituals and sexually abusing children. Even though the allegations were absurd, the McMartin’s had their lives turned upside down.

The U.S. Marshals Service announced late this week that it had rescued dozens of missing children in the state of Georgia following a two-week operation that led to multiple arrests.
The operation, dubbed &#8220;Operation Not Forgotten,&#8221; was led by the U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit and the agency’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force.
The operation &#8220;resulted in the rescue of 26 children, the safe location of 13 children and the arrest of nine criminal associates,&#8221; the agency <a href="https://www.usmarshals.gov/news/chron/2020/082720.htm">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;Additionally, investigators cleared 26 arrest warrants and filed additional charges for alleged crimes related to sex trafficking, parental kidnapping, registered sex offender violations, drugs and weapons possession, and custodial interference. The 26 warrants cleared included 19 arrest warrants for a total of nine individuals arrested, some of whom had multiple warrants.&#8221;
&#8220;These missing children were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area, based on indications of high-risk factors such as victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and medical or mental health conditions. Other children were located at the request of law enforcement to ensure their well-being,&#8221; the agency added. &#8220;USMS investigators were able to confirm each child’s location in person and assure their safety and welfare.&#8221;
Last year, the agency &#8220;helped recover 295 missing children based on requests for assistance from law enforcement and has contributed to the recovery of a missing child in 75 percent of cases received. Additionally, of the missing children recovered, 66 percent were recovered within seven days of the USMS assisting with the case,&#8221; the agency said. &#8220;Since its partnership with NCMEC began in 2005, the agency has recovered more than 1,800 missing children.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a statement, Director of the Marshals Service Donald Washington said: “The U.S. Marshals Service is fully committed to assisting federal, state, and local agencies with locating and recovering endangered missing children, in addition to their primary fugitive apprehension mission. The message to missing children and their families is that we will never stop looking for you.”
Darby Kirby, Chief of the Missing Child Unit, added: &#8220;When we track down fugitives, it’s a good feeling to know that we&#8217;re putting the bad guy behind bars. But that sense of accomplishment is nothing compared to finding a missing child. It&#8217;s hard to put into words what we feel when we rescue a missing child, but I can tell you that this operation has impacted every single one of us out here. We are working to protect them and get them the help they need.&#8221;
The U.S. Marshals Service has had a busy summer as they have been called on to help assist in law enforcement operations regarding the violent riots that have broken out in some cities across the U.S. in recent months. The agency was asked in June to assist in protecting national monuments from leftists who were tearing down and destroying statues across the country.

Wealthy New York City parents are spending upwards of $70,000 to hire private educators to oversee their children while learning remotely.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/nyc-parents-70000-kids-remote-learn-pods">reported</a> that the parents are already paying five-figure private school tuitions, and will now be paying even more to set up “pods” of four to ten students in the same grade who will be led by a private educator.
From Fox:
<blockquote>Christopher Rim, founder of the education and college consulting firm Command Education, has been inundated with calls from “desperate parents” demanding leaders for pods that they’ve created with other families. He’s already staffed four pods in the Hamptons with tutors and expects to close in on 10 by the time the school year begins, with kids expected to rotate learning at a different home each week. One Water Mill parent already volunteered her 13-bedroom manse as the permanent home base of her kid’s 11th-grade four-person learning pod. He charges $3,500 a week per student, but offers a flat rate of $70,000 per kid if you pay the whole year up front, which covers 30 weeks of school.
“These days, nothing is off the table. It’s about your child not falling behind,” Rim told The [New York] Post of parents’ decision to pod. “There’s nothing too expensive in terms of education for their child.”
Rim, a 25-year-old Yale grad with a BA in psychology who <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/11/11/this-life-coach-gets-teens-into-ivy-schools-for-950-an-hour/">started the company in 2015</a> out of his dorm room, trains his tutors, who are all Ivy-league educated and under 30 years old. Some have teaching degrees and are certified to teach in public schools but not all. Said Rim, “This is not a replacement for school. This is not an accredited program. This is a supplement to make sure the students are on track.” All his tutors will be tested for COVID weekly, and will follow CDC guidelines for social-distancing whenever possible.</blockquote>
As the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/14/1200-nyc-schools-had-reopening-plans-approved-by-doe/">reported</a>, about 1,200 schools in New York City have been approved to reopen by the state’s Department of Education.
“All individual plans for the city’s schools were due to be submitted to the state by Friday, thanks to an extension. The DOE issued a midday press release that only accounted for roughly 1,200 schools but insisted that the remaining plans would be submitted by the deadline,” the outlet reported. “Officials said 1,067 schools have chosen one of the blended learning DOE models, which means students will go to school between one and three days a week depending on the chosen format of the school.”
Half of the schools that opted for the blended model – about 573 schools – will create two groups of students that will “consistently attend school twice a week and alternate between remote learning and in-person learning on an additional day on a weekly basis,” the Post reported.
Another 279 schools will split students into three groups, with kids in each group attending class one day a week and alternating two additional in-class days per week. Middle and high school students attending a separate group of 151 schools will be split into three groups “on an alternating six-day schedule,” the outlet reported.

Following a swift social media backlash, Netflix has apologized for a poster advertising the movie &#8220;Cuties&#8221; that featured young girls in scantily clad outfits while striking sexualized poses.
“We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for &#8216;Cuties.&#8217; It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which premiered at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description,&#8221; Netflix said in a statement, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/08/netflix-apologizes-inappropriate-cuties-poster-criticized-sexualizing-children-1203018498/">Deadline</a>. 
&#8220;Cuties&#8221; tells the story of 11-year-old Amy who joins a dance group called &#8220;The Cuties&#8221; at school with her friends. The film holds an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and won the World Cinema Dramatic Directing Award at Sundance this year. Defenders of the film say that Netflix dramatically misrepresented the story&#8217;s content with its poster, noting that the original French advertisements were tame by comparison.
&#8220;It&#8217;s interesting to compare the french version of the cuties poster to the American version&#8230; like the French version has more &#8216;kids having fun!&#8217; vibes, while the American version is just f**king&#8230;. gross.

When the poster first went viral on social media, liberals and conservatives alike denounced the ad for its overt sexualization of children. As of this writing, a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/parents-of-young-children-petition-to-remove-cuties-from-netflix?source_location=topic_page">Change.org petition</a> demanding that Netflix remove the movie from its platform has reached over 46,000 signatures and is rapidly gaining steam.
&#8220;This movie/show is disgusting as it sexualizes an ELEVEN-year-old for the viewing pleasure of pedophiles and also negatively influences our children! There is no need for this kind of content in that age group, especially when sex trafficking and pedophilia are so rampant! There is no excuse, this is dangerous content!&#8221; the petition emphatically states.
According to IndieWire&#8217;s Zack Sharf, the Netflix poster <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2020/08/netflix-apologizes-cuties-marketing-sexualizing-children-1234581341/">dramatically altered</a> the movie&#8217;s message, which reportedly is a critique of the cultural pressure to sexualize teenage girls.
&#8220;The inappropriate marketing for &#8216;Cuties&#8217; stands in contrast to the film itself, which has been largely praised by film critics for handling Amy’s coming-of-age experience with sensitivity,&#8221; wrote Sharf. &#8220;Doucouré uses her &#8216;Cuties&#8217; storyline to openly criticize the ways in which society puts pressure on young girls to be overtly sexual.&#8221;
In her Sundance <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2020/01/cuties-review-netflix-sundance-maimouna-doucure-1202202924/">review</a> of &#8220;Cuties,&#8221; Kate Erbland wrote of the film&#8217;s subject matter: “The girls are preparing to enter a dance contest, and an appearance by their great rivals (the Sweety-Swaggs) lays out what’s to come: The Swaggs are older, more developed, more sexualized, and their moves reflect that. The Cuties certainly don’t understand that even the elder Swaggs are at the mercy of a hyper-sexualized culture and its demands and that there’s something deeply wrong with a teenager taking her top off in the middle of [a] dance video.”

Tragedy in Princeton, Texas, as authorities discovered the body of an infant in a five-gallon bucket of tar.
Police responded to a tip of a possible unreported death of a child at the home of 42-year-old Roland Grabowski and his 41-year-old wife Donna, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/13/texas-couple-charged-after-infant-found-dead-in-bucket-of-tar/">reported</a>. Police went to the home but the couple wasn’t there, apparently having traveled to Dallas.
When police were able to question the Grabowskis, the couple apparently refused to cooperate and told “numerous lies” about the newborn’s whereabouts, according to the <a href="https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/three-week-old-infant-found-dead-bucket-of-tar-collin-county-couple-arrested/287-5d046a6f-77f1-4622-a3d5-d9db037cca69">arrest warrants</a> obtained by WFAA. They were arrested on child endangerment charges at that time.
Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner told the outlet that the couple claimed they found their baby boy, Micah, dead in their bed on the morning of July 29. They alternatively claimed their baby was staying with a family friend. Donna also told police that she gave birth to Micah at Medical Center of McKinney, but detectives found no records of her being there or a live birth.
“There was an attempt to deceive us as to what had happened and the whereabouts of their child Micah,” Skinner told WFAA.
The arrest warrants show the couple even tried to get a friend to tell police that “your baby is ours.”
“Quick in and out,” the text allegedly read. “They just need to see.”
The arrest warrants also explained that the couple claimed to friends that Micah died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Police obtained a warrant to search the Grabowskis’ home and discovered Micah in a five-gallon bucket of tar in a shed behind their home. By the time he was found by police, Micah would have been three weeks old.
&#8220;They took the child and wrapped him in a blanket and submerged him into a five gallon bucket of tar and put him in a shed behind the residence,&#8221; Skinner told WFAA.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been in this business over 30 years and I&#8217;ve seen a lot of crazy things but this is the first time I&#8217;ve found a dead infant in a bucket of tar&#8230;and hopefully the last,&#8221; Skinner added.
The couple was arrested on multiple felony charges, “including tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair human corpse, abusing a corpse without legal authority, and abandoning or endangering a child,” WFAA reported.
The outlet added that Roland has a criminal record with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
“He was sentenced previously for aggravated sexual assault of a child, burglary of a habitation, and possession of controlled substances. Grawbowski [sic], according to TDCJ records, is registered as a sex offender,” the outlet reported.
An autopsy conducted on Micah is still pending, The Dallas Morning News <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2020/08/12/collin-county-parents-facing-felony-charges-after-baby-found-dead-in-bucket-of-tar-authorities-say/">reported</a>. The couple could face more charges.
An attorney for Donna couldn’t be reached by the News, though the lawyer was contacted after business hours.

A Texas family is fighting to be removed from the Child Abuse Registry even after a judge dismissed a case from Child Protective Services (CPS) alleging that they had medically abused their young son.
Legal counsel for <a href="https://bringdrakehome.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ashley and Daniel Pardo</a> of Kaufman County, Texas, sent a letter late last month to Texas Department of Family Protective Services Commissioner Jaime Masters, urging her to remove them from the registry. The letter was endorsed by 26 signatories, including organizations and lawmakers.
A copy of the letter, written by Texas Home School Coalition (THSC) President Tim Lambert and provided to The Daily Wire, read in part:
<blockquote>Even though CPS dropped all accusations against the Pardo family and dismissed the case, CPS has placed the Pardo family on the Child Abuse Registry.
As you know, being on the registry stays on a family’s record, shows up on background checks, and can prevent the family from obtaining employment or even volunteering at their child’s school or church activities.
Being on the Child Abuse Registry also carries a naturally damaging cultural stigma because, as the average Texan would reasonably presume, such a registry is home to individuals who commit horrible crimes against their children, such as starving, beating, torturing, or killing them.
The fact that an entirely innocent family against whom CPS dropped all charges could be placed on such a registry and have their lives and professional futures forever marred by this stigma shocks even the most rudimentary sense of justice.</blockquote>
A <a href="https://thsc.org/child-abuse-registry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent article</a> from THSC explaining the latest wrinkle in the case alleges that the Pardos&#8217; placement on the registry was an act of &#8220;vindictive punishment,&#8221; after both the Texas Supreme Court and county judge found the CPS case against them lacking.
In December 2019, the Pardos reached the end of a long legal battle fraught with red tape when Judge Tracy Gray signed a dismissal agreement between them and CPS. The agreement came after the Texas Supreme Court ordered the Pardo&#8217;s 4-year-old son, Drake, to be reunited with family in October, who had first been taken away from them on June 20, 2019.
According to <a href="https://thetexan.news/pardo-family-cps-hearing-scheduled-for-tomorrow-heres-what-we-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Texan</a>, which followed the complex case closely, the Pardos were alleged to be engaging in medical child abuse or Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, which &#8220;occurs when caretakers exaggerate or contrive medical conditions of the child under his or her care.&#8221; Drake, who has suffered from developmental issues, also struggled with feeding problems.
As The Texan <a href="https://thetexan.news/pardo-family-wins-dismissal-by-kaufman-county-court-controversial-cps-case-effectively-ended/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a>:
<blockquote>They were told one potential solution was a G-tube, a surgically placed feeding tube.
During their consideration of the surgery, Drake’s doctor allegedly refused to visit him while he was in the hospital. After his refusal, the Pardos fired him and chose to see another doctor in the same hospital.
The doctor who was fired brought a concern to the hospital’s child abuse pediatrician that the Pardos were doctor-shopping to find someone who would approve of the G-tube surgery.
Subsequently, the child abuse pediatrician brought the complaints to CPS and said that she wanted Drake to be admitted to the hospital on Monday, June 10 to be evaluated so that they could determine if the parents were seeking unnecessary help or not.</blockquote>
Jeremy Newman, director of public policy for THSC, referenced court testimony to explain to The Daily Wire how the Pardos were never informed about the scheduled meeting with CPS, which he said first led to their problems.
&#8220;CPS used their failure to attend that meeting, which they didn&#8217;t know about, as a justification for declaring an emergency and running in and taking the child from the home,&#8221; Newman said. &#8220;So, if I can insert my perception, it seems to me that the place it went wrong was that nobody involved in the case ever spoke to any of the doctors who had actually treated Drake at the time that all of this happened. They kind of came in and did a theoretical assessment and never spoke to the family, never spoke to any of the doctors.&#8221;
Explaining how, according to court testimony, the doctor who originally notified CPS did not intend for Drake to be removed from his family, Newman speculated that what began as government incompetence snowballed. &#8220;It seems to me like it&#8217;s a face-saving issue; that by the time they realized they&#8217;d made a big mistake, they couldn&#8217;t reverse course without admitting liability.&#8221;
The Texas Department of Family Protective Services did not respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment in time for publication.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TexasHomeSchoolCoalition/videos/740390303133487" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">video</a> with the Pardos that he posted to Facebook immediately after their initial case was dismissed in December, Newman said, &#8220;This is the end of the Pardo case, officially. But it&#8217;s not the end of it for the families.&#8221; Noting that the CPS bureaucracy gets to walk away from such legal battles relatively unscathed, he said, &#8220;For the families in these situations, the trauma and the effect of that lasts. I know that Ashley and Daniel would tell you that, and every family that I&#8217;ve ever talked to would tell you that.&#8221;
&#8220;And so, as much as we&#8217;re celebrating the victory, you also have to kind of stop and pause and consider the cost, and realize that the team of advocates and the whole state kind of responded to support Ashley and Daniel in this. Not every family has that. You kind of have to wonder, &#8216;What about all the families you never hear from? The families whose stories don’t make the news?&#8217; You don’t hear from them and you kind of have to wonder: &#8216;Do they just get eaten by the system?'&#8221;
The Pardo case is not an isolated one, according to a series of <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/do-no-harm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in-depth investigative reports</a> done by NBC and The Houston Chronicle in 2019. Reporters spent nine months looking into 40 cases that explored how the &#8220;legal and medical system that sometimes struggles to differentiate accidental injuries from abuse.&#8221;
One <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/devastating-diagnosis-doctors-trained-spot-child-abuse-can-save-lives-n1055746" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> concluded, &#8220;Physicians intent on protecting the most vulnerable in some instances have overstated the reliability of their findings, using terms such as ‘100 percent’ and ‘certain’ to describe conclusions that usually cannot be proven with absolute confidence. Child welfare workers, overworked and untrained in complex medical issues, are not always sure how to proceed when the primary evidence against a caregiver comes in the form of a doctor’s note.”

Toymaker Hasbro has pulled its “Trolls World Tour Giggle &amp; Sing Poppy” doll from shelves after a wave of complaints that a button, located between the troll toy&#8217;s legs, was &#8220;inappropriately placed&#8221; and that the toy encourages the normalization of sexual exploitation of children.
<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/06/business/hasbro-removes-trolls-doll-poppy-button-trnd/index.html">CNN reports that Hasbro</a> pulled the toy after a petition, circulated online, accusing the toymaker of placing a button that makes the toy talk in a &#8220;private area under her skirt,&#8221; garnered more than 150,000 signatures.
&#8220;The &#8216;DreamWorks Trolls World Tour Giggle and Sing Poppy&#8217; has a button on her stomach that when pressed will prompt the doll to sing and say phrases like, &#8216;How about a hug?'&#8221; the outlet reported.
Photos and videos posted online, though, show a second button, located between the doll&#8217;s legs, &#8220;that when pressed will cause the doll to make sounds such as &#8216;Whee!&#8217; and &#8216;Oh!'&#8221; per CNN. A video, demonstrating the button, has gotten more than half a million views according to the network.
<a href="https://www.moms.com/hasbro-troll-doll-controversy/">Moms.com reports</a> that a parent who posted the video calls the button and its sound effects &#8220;disturbing,&#8221; and relates the doll back to the &#8220;sex trafficking of kids,&#8221; a hot topic in online parenting forums following the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, the former girlfriend of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is alleged to have been the mogul&#8217;s chief &#8220;recruiter,&#8221; identifying and approaching young women, and then grooming them to have sex with Epstein and his high-profile &#8220;friends.&#8221;
&#8220;Things that are thrown in our kids&#8217; faces to groom them. I know some of you may not think this is a big deal, but especially since I&#8217;ve had kids, this is wrong,&#8221; the video&#8217;s narrator, who claims her daughter received the doll as a birthday gift, concludes. &#8220;What will this toy make our innocent, impressionable children think? That it&#8217;s fun when someone touches your private area? That pedophilia and child molestation are okay?&#8221;
Facebook, Moms.com points out, has flagged the video as &#8220;partly false&#8221; information. The social media platform notes that the button &#8220;triggers giggly sounds&#8221; only when the doll is placed in a &#8220;sitting position.&#8221; Other news outlets, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/trolls-hasbro-doll-pizzagate-qanon-1041202/">like Rolling Stone</a>, connected the troll doll incident to online conspiracy theorists who claim that &#8220;a cabal of pedophiles is running a massive child sex trafficking ring&#8221; that spans the globe.
Hasbro acknowledged the doll&#8217;s design issues but said the button&#8217;s location is accidental. The toymaker is, however, pulling the toy from store shelves and offering a replacement toy to consumers who purchased the doll.
&#8220;This feature was designed to react when the doll was seated, but we recognize the placement of the sensor may be perceived as inappropriate,&#8221; the company noted in a statement. &#8220;This was not intentional and we are happy to provide consumers with a replacement Poppy doll of similar value through our Consumer Care team. We are in the process of removing the item for purchase.&#8221;

The National Police Support Fund <a href="https://nationalpolicesupportfund.com/restoring-respect-for-police-in-2020/">has written</a>, “Law enforcement officers need to make countless life-or-death decisions every day, and public support for that work is critical. People need to feel confident that police officers have their best interests in mind as they work tirelessly to protect and serve their communities. A decline in trust and respect makes it much more difficult for officers to do their jobs. One minute of resistance from a community member during an incident could literally be a matter of life or death.”
Attorney General William Barr <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/video/third-annual-attorney-general-s-award-distinguished-service-policing">stated</a> in December 2019:
<blockquote>To my mind there is no more noble profession than serving as a law enforcement officer. You put your life and well-being on the line to protect your communities. And your families spend anxious nights, night after night, so the rest of us can sleep in peace. That job has always been a difficult job, but it’s probably – no time where it is more difficult than today …
This profession these days calls on a special kind of bravery … we’re fighting an unrelenting, never-ending fight against criminal predators in our society, and while there are battles won and lost each day, there is never a final resolution; a final victory is never in sight, and yet we, and you, continue to perform your duty of protecting the community day in and day out. And that takes a very special kind of courage to wage this kind of fight; a special kind of commitment, a special kind of sacrifice.</blockquote>
After relating the appreciation Americans have shown for their men and women in uniform, Barr continued, “Today, American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that is given by our law enforcement officers. And they have to start showing, more than they do, the respect and support that law enforcement deserves.”
On Wednesday, Portland’s City Council unanimously passed two resolutions barring members of the police from working with federal law enforcement; the moves also barred them from arresting or using force on journalists and legal observers. One resolution stated that any member of the Portland Police Bureau who &#8220;provides, requests, or willingly receives operational support from militarized federal forces&#8221; will be subject to discipline, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-police-banned-working-federal-law-enforcement">Fox News</a> reported.
U.S. District Judge Michael Simon has issued a <a href="https://aclu-or.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/7.2.2020_tro_-_woodstock_v_portland.pdf">temporary restraining order</a> blocking police in Portland from arresting or using physical force against journalists or legal observers at protests. He wrote that police “are enjoined from arresting, threatening to arrest, or using physical force directed against any person whom they know or reasonably should know is a journalist or legal observer unless the police have probable cause to believe that such individual has committed a crime. For purposes of this order, such persons shall not be required to disperse following the issuance of an order to disperse, and such persons shall not be subject to arrest for not dispersing following the issuance of an order to disperse.”

There is no shortage of studies and data showing women who commit crimes are treated differently than men who commit the same crimes. One of the most glaring differences is seen in the case of raping children.
On July 14, a 19-year-old woman was arrested in Yakima, Washington, after a doorbell surveillance camera caught her raping two boys under the age of 10, according to police. KOMO 4 TV <a href="https://komonews.com/news/local/police-doorbell-video-captures-yakima-woman-raping-2-young-boys">reported</a> that around 4:40 p.m. on that day, an officer responded to a call from a witness who said doorbell video caught footage of a woman performing oral sex on the two boys, who were between the ages of 5 and 9.
When police arrived, the woman ran. An officer caught up to her and knocked her to the ground, where she tried to resist arrest by moving her arms to avoid being handcuffed. The woman was taken into custody and booked into the local jail on “two counts of first-degree child rape and obstructing a police officer,” KOMO reported.
KVEW <a href="https://www.yaktrinews.com/yakima-woman-caught-on-doorbell-camera-raping-two-young-boys-police-say/">reported</a> at the time that the woman is a resident of the apartment complex where the attack took place. The outlet also reported police “will be conducting a forensic interview with them as part of their investigation” and that the woman knew the victims. The outlet reported at the time that it wouldn’t release the woman’s name until it “confirmed that criminal charges have been filed.” It is unlikely a man would have had his name withheld in a similar situation.
Several days later, the outlet <a href="https://www.yaktrinews.com/prosecutors-yakima-woman-charged-with-rape-of-two-boys-recorded-on-doorbell-cam/">reported</a> the woman’s name: Miah Rachelle Lopez.
“Police said the footage showed Lopez performing oral sex acts on two boys who were under the age of 10 outside in the breezeway of the apartment outside the resident’s door. Police said they believe Lopez lives in the complex, and that she was not a stranger to her young victims,” the outlet reported.
It is unlikely Lopez will receive serious jail time for her crime. As I <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/gender-matters-more-for-perpetrators-than-victims-in-child-sex-abuse">wrote years ago</a>, the gender of the perpetrator in cases of child sexual abuse has a serious impact on the sentencing:
<blockquote>A 32-year-old man was found guilty of sexually abusing a young girl for years, starting when she was just 6 years old. That man faced <a href="http://ktla.com/2015/08/25/victorville-man-convicted-on-29-counts-of-child-sex-assault-faces-366-years-to-life-in-prison/">366 years to life in prison</a>. Meanwhile, a 25-year-old woman pleaded guilty to attempted rape of young boys <a href="http://www.mailtribune.com/article/20150831/NEWS/150839937">at a trailer park</a> in California. The female abuser in that case had previously been indicted on several other charges, including first-degree rape. She had pleaded guilty to the lesser charges as part of a plea agreement, and received five years&#8217; probation.</blockquote>
Another female abuser, former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck, was sentenced to 48 weekends at a work detention facility – spread out over two years – after she statutory raped a 15-year-old boy who was a friend of her son.
Lopez will probably face a similar punishment – probation or possibly a short prison sentence. Meanwhile, the young boys she victimized may be traumatized and ignored simply because of their gender.

A large majority of parents believe reopening schools in the fall amid a pandemic is unsafe.
Over 70% of parents say that reopening schools carries a moderate to large risk for themselves, according to the latest iteration of the <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/axios-ipsos-coronavirus-index">Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index</a> released on Tuesday. Despite the high skepticism of schools reopening, people appear to not be altering their behavior amid a current spike in coronavirus cases in the South and West. Americans continue to visit family and friends and go out to restaurants at similar rates to roughly a month ago.
The poll was conducted on July 10-13. Axios/Ipsos polled 1,063 people from a nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 years or older. The group included 219 parents with children under the age of 18. The poll’s margin of error is ±7 percentage points.
“Fewer than one in five (19%) of Americans report self-quarantining the last week, the lowest level since tracking began at the eve of the outbreak in early March,” the poll report states. “Just under half of Americans (47%) report visiting friends and relatives in the last week, a third (30%) report going out to eat, and about one in six (16%) visited elderly relatives in the last week – all essentially unchanged from levels in mid-June before the current spike in cases.”
“A third of Americans (33%) see attending in-person gatherings of friends as a large risk to their health. Additionally, over a third (37%) say dining out, just under a third (30%) say going to a salon, and over a quarter (27%) of Americans working remote or temporarily not working say returning to their normal place of employment is a large risk. All are the highest levels since mid to late May,” the report continues.
“As debate about back-to-school rages, a large majority of parents (71%) say sending their child to school in the fall is a large or moderate risk,” the report says.
The report on Americans’ views on schools comes as Washington debates over the best course of action as fall approaches. President Donald Trump and his administration are pushing for schools to open and threatening to restrict funding from school districts that resist reopening without good reason.
Democrats and teachers’ unions argue that reopening schools without proper social distancing, which is impossible for nearly every school at full capacity, is prohibitively dangerous to students, teachers, and the larger community.
Republicans such as Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dan-crenshaw-smacks-democrats-for-pushing-narrative-of-crisis-and-fear-on-schools-reopening">accusing</a> Democrats of fearmongering the threat of the virus to children, which studies <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/study-coronavirus-hundreds-of-times-less-deadly-to-younger-people-than-those-aged-80">suggest</a> is nearly nonexistent. The American Academy of Pediatrics <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-academy-of-pediatrics-get-students-back-to-school-in-the-fall">published</a> a statement in late June “strongly” advocating for a return to normal school settings even without proper social distancing.
“Lengthy time away from school and associated interruption of supportive services often results in social isolation, making it difficult for schools to identify and address important learning deficits as well as child and adolescent physical or sexual abuse, substance use, depression, and suicidal ideation,” the AAP said. “This, in turn, places children and adolescents at considerable risk of morbidity and, in some cases, mortality.”
The AAP added that children appear to not be significant spreaders of the disease itself, saying, “Although many questions remain, the preponderance of evidence indicates that children and adolescents are less likely to be symptomatic and less likely to have severe disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, children may be less likely to become infected and to spread infection.”

Actor Johnny Depp will be joining the fight to promote &#8220;gender and race equality&#8221; by lending his vocal talents to the children&#8217;s show &#8220;Puffins,&#8221; in which he will play the character Johnny Puff.
The project will be made in concert with the Italian company <a id="auto-tag_iervolino-entertainment" href="https://variety.com/t/iervolino-entertainment/" data-tag="iervolino-entertainment">Iervolino Entertainment</a>, which previously produced &#8220;Waiting for the Barbarians,&#8221; starring Johnny Depp, Mark Rylance, and Robert Pattinson.
&#8216;&#8221;Puffins&#8217; will be a mobile-first, short-form toon series consisting of 250 five-minute episodes that follow the adventures of a group of cute birds, who are the servants of the wily walrus Otto,&#8221; according to <a href="https://variety.com/2020/film/news/johnny-depp-to-voice-lead-johnny-puff-in-new-animated-series-puffins-1234643760/">Variety</a>. &#8220;It &#8216;will promote positive messaging,&#8217; by weaving in &#8216;themes such as gender and race equality and environmental protection, Iervolino Entertainment said in a statement.&#8221;
Andrea Iervolino told Variety that &#8220;Puffins&#8221; will be an avant-garde project that Johnny Depp has enthusiastically backed.
“We’re so happy to reunite with Johnny for a second project,” Iervolino said in a statement. “Experiencing a new and avant-garde project like this short series, alongside Johnny, has given me even more conviction to champion experimental genre and format fusions. I am beyond grateful that Johnny has shown belief in the project … sharing his thoughtful artistic ideas that are providing real added value to the Puffins universe.”
How the series will address the complex issue of race and gender equality remains to be seen.
As the Black Lives Matter protests have gripped the nation following the tragic death of George Floyd while in the custody of a Minneapolis police officer, Johnny Depp has been vocal about his views and race relations and creating equality in Hollywood.
&#8220;As the majority of American people, our global community and our extended family of humans helplessly watched a man die on television… I too, was exposed to the atrocity of blatant barbarism,  ruthless cruelty and unmitigated lack of humanity,&#8221; Depp said in an Instagram post in early June. &#8220;A handcuffed man, pleading for his life lay prone with the full weight of a man sworn to defend the peace on his neck. The victim of this heinous act of cowardice, George Floyd, told the officers that he could not breathe. As he called for his dead mother, how could our collective hearts not break as his face was ground and mashed firmly into the pavement by those sworn to protect him, and all of us? Justice, I desperately hope, will address the horror of Officer Chauvin’s nonchalance and indifference to his participation in the agony, suffering and ultimately the murder of our fellow traveler George Floyd in a grotesque illustration of the abuse of power!!!&#8221;
&#8220;What we can do is make a vow to ourselves that racism and the ignorance inherent in such judgmental ugliness that it gives birth to, is NO LONGER AN OPTION!!! THERE MUST BE A CHANGE!!! DEMAND IT!!!!&#8221; he added.

San Diego K9 Officer Jonathan Wiese has been credited with saving the lives of two young girls after rappelling down a cliff to rescue them from a car their father had driven into the ocean in an apparent murder-suicide attempt over the weekend. 
According to <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2020-06-14/hang-on-im-going-san-diego-police-officer-recounts-sunset-cliffs-rescue">The San Diego Union-Tribune</a>, Wiese was near the San Diego-Coronado Bridge responding to a call the girls’ mother made to police Saturday morning, in which she informed them that her husband was suicidal and planned to take the toddlers, both two-year-olds, to the bridge and drive off it. 
ABC-10 <a href="https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/officer-rescues-toddlers-after-father-drives-off-sunset-cliffs">reports</a> that when Wiese arrived at the cliff area, where the man ultimately drove off, he saw the car had flipped over in the ocean below, and started to think-up a quick plan of action. 
&#8220;My first thought was jump but I&#8217;m afraid of heights,&#8221; said Wiese, reports <a href="https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/san-diego-father-drove-truck-off-cliff-with-toddlers-inside-allegedly-on-purpose-sunset-cliffs/509-7c6264dc-5838-427a-a036-a28bc0f90ddb">CBS-8</a>. 
&#8220;I could see him and he had one of the girls in his arms, and I have a two-year-old daughter at home so I imagined, what if that was my wife and kid down there? You&#8217;re not going to stand there on the cliff and watch it happen,&#8221; said Wiese, who later recalled the rescue effort, reports the Tribune. 
Wiese grabbed his K9 leash, wrapped it around himself, and gave one end to the other officers arriving on scene. 
&#8220;We kind of  held on to each other, I’ve never done anything like that holding on to each other’s belts,&#8221; recalled Sgt. Briggitta Belz, one of the responding officers. 
Wiese then repelled down 30 feet to the rocks below and swam toward the man, grabbed him under the armpit, held them above water, and pushed them toward the shore, reports ABC-10. 
San Diego Police Chief David Nisliet called Wiese’s actions “probably the most heroic thing I&#8217;ve seen in my 32 years.” Both of the girls were still in the hospital as of Monday, but are expected to recover — a development Wiese said was the “best news you can have.”
“All I care about is that those girls are going to live and have a second chance at life,” said Wiese. 
Wiese, who appears to be no stranger to quick-thinking, was also commended for his heroism last September, several months after he single-handedly arrested the Chabad of Poway shooting suspect. (The shooter reportedly fled the scene after he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rabbi-poway-synagogue-had-previously-asked-duty-hank-berrien">chased away</a> by Oscar Stewart, a former combat veteran, and Jonathan Morales, an armed off-duty border patrol agent.)
As <a href="https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/poway-synagogue-shooting-officer-honored-hero/1964961/">NBC News San Diego</a> previously reported, Wiese was nearby about to have lunch with his family when he received a description of a shooting suspect, which matched the description of a person he saw outside a restaurant. 
Wiese then conducted the arrest, and later observed that he was just glad to  be there “to stop him and prevent any future damage and injury.”
San Diego Sheriff William D. Gore honored Wiese in a ceremony several months later, along with several dozen other officers who demonstrated heroism and courage, for his role in the arrest, reported the news agency. 
“Officer Wiese’s actions that day exemplified bravery, dedication, duty and his commitment to the citizens of San Diego,” said the sheriff. 
CBS News-8 reports that the father survived the ordeal, and has been charged with attempted murder and kidnapping.

Children&#8217;s toymaker LEGO has reportedly requested its affiliate retailers pull marketing for a number of playsets depicting law enforcement and emergency responders, as well as &#8220;crooks,&#8221; and even the White House, following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police and the ensuing demonstrations.
<a href="https://toybook.com/lego-pulling-back-potentially-sensitive-product-following-george-floyd-murder/">Toy Book</a>, which covers the children&#8217;s toy manufacturing and marketing industries, reported earlier this week that &#8220;an email sent to affiliate marketers by Rakuten Linkshare on behalf of the LEGO Group,&#8221; lists 30 separate playsets the company wants to downplay.
&#8220;The email requests removal of product listings and features for more than 30 LEGO building sets, Minifigures, and accessories that include representation of police officers, firefighters, criminals, emergency vehicles, and buildings. Sets include the LEGO City Police Station, Fire Station, Police Dog Unit, Patrol Car, Fire Plane, Mobile Command Center, Police Highway Arrest, and many more,&#8221; the outlet said.
The list also includes playsets with a tangential relation to law enforcement, like the &#8220;LEGO City Donut Shop Opening&#8221; set, which has both a police officer and a &#8220;crook&#8221; Minifigure included, and the LEGO City &#8220;Police Handcuffs and Badge Set&#8221; which allows kids to role-play as their favorite characters from their LEGO playsets.
The email even lists the &#8220;adult builder LEGO Creator version of The White House.&#8221;
The items will all remain for sale, the company just doesn&#8217;t want marketers actively promoting the sets, potentially so that activists don&#8217;t blame LEGO for supporting law enforcement (or, it seems, the president). The law enforcement, first responder, and White House playsets are all still in stock on LEGO&#8217;s primary website and elsewhere.
LEGO fansites, Toy Book says, also received the letter.
&#8220;Hey <a class="PrettyLink profile customisable h-card" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group" data-mentioned-user-id="295325513" data-scribe="element:mention">@LEGO_Group</a> can you elaborate?&#8221; one fansite, the Brick Loft, posted on social media after getting the affiliate marketing company&#8217;s email. &#8220;Is it <a class="PrettyLink hashtag customisable" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackOutTuesday?src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click" data-scribe="element:hashtag">#BlackOutTuesday</a>?

What kind of message are you making here??&#8221;
LEGO did not respond to requests for comment, but yesterday, on &#8220;#BlackOutTuesday,&#8221; the company posted a message of solidarity with anti-police brutality demonstrations.
&#8220;We stand with the black community against racism and inequality,&#8221; the brand wrote on social media. &#8220;There is much to do. We will donate $4 million to organizations dedicated to supporting black children and educating all children about racial inequality.&#8221;

Toy Book points out that LEGO stores were among those businesses attacked and looted in New York earlier this week.
&#8220;New York was under a curfew that would last until early Tuesday morning, officials said, after looters raided stores in central Manhattan, targeting some of the city&#8217;s top retailers,&#8221; <a href="https://en.mercopress.com/2020/06/03/new-york-upmarket-retailers-shops-in-central-manhattan-raided-by-looters">local news reported Tuesday</a>. &#8220;Upmarket fashion store Michael Kors on Fifth Avenue was among the luxury outlets hit, along with Nike, Lego and electronics shops across Midtown, before the 11 pm to 5 am curfew came into effect.&#8221;

A YouTuber who spent the past few years chronicling not only the stressful process of adopting a Chinese toddler with special needs, but also her life with that child, has announced she and her husband gave the child away.
Buzzfeed News <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/stephaniemcneal/myka-stauffer-huxley-announcement">reported</a> that Myka Stauffer “spent years sharing intimate details of her son Huxley’s life on a monetized channel.” Before she adopted the child in 2017, Stauffer chronicled the adoption process on her channel. Huxley helped her channel grow to hundreds of thousands of followers and receive high-profile sponsorships. Stauffer has also given numerous interviews and even written an article for Parade about her life with Huxley. She portrayed herself as an advocate for international adoption and watched her social media profiles grow: 717,000 YouTube subscribers for her personal channel and 332,000 for her family channel.
In the article she wrote for Parade, Stauffer said the couple was initially against adopting a special needs child when they first learned Huxley had a “brain tumor” and “brain damage.”
“But as we let the idea soak in, God softened our hearts,” she wrote in the article. “Before we knew it, we were open to almost every special needs in the book.”
In an article for pregnancy and parenting website The Bump, Stauffer said “I quickly learned that Huxley wasn’t the one who needed to change – it was me,” next to a photo of her holding her adopted son while wearing designer clothes and her hair in curls.
In Parade, Stauffer said Huxley’s special needs file had been “inaccurate,” and that he had actually been diagnosed with “having a stroke in utero, has level 3 autism, and sensory processing disorder.”
Still, she wrote, he “is a great kid and his condition doesn’t involve that much overall care—all you need is a big heart and practice patience everyday.”
As Buzzfeed reported, Stauffer’s last update on Huxley was posted in September 2019. “Emotional China Adoption Update Two Years Home,” she wrote, adding that Huxley had been in applied behavior analysis therapy for his autism.
“He is doing so well and I am so excited to see the huge steps forward he makes in his third year after being adopted from China,” she wrote.
Buzzfeed reported that Huxley “continued to appear in photos on Instagram and in YouTube videos in late 2019 and into 2020.”
But as winter turned into Spring, Huxley disappeared from the Stauffers’ YouTube channels. On February 16, Stauffer addressed the difficulties of raising a child with special needs.
“We have hard days, lots of them. I wish autism and adoption trauma had a manual to direct you through it all,” she wrote.
On Tuesday, the Stauffers announced they had given Huxley to another family for his emotional well-being.
“After multiple assessments, after multiple evaluations, numerous medical professionals have felt that he needed a different fit in his medical needs, he needed more,” Myka said in the video.
The couple said they hadn’t announced this sooner due in part to legal reasons, which they didn’t explain. They said they left out “99% of the struggles” they endured with Huxley from their social media accounts. At one point in the video, Myka said “multiple scary things happened inside the home towards our other children.”
“We saw that in family time with other people, he constantly choose [sic] them and signed and showed tons of emotion to show us and let us know he wanted this,” she claimed, adding that Huxley was now with “the perfect match” family and that they would always love him.

Elon Musk and Canadian singer Grimes have changed the name of their newborn baby boy, seemingly to comply with a California law that prohibits a legal name from having numbers in it. And unfortunately for Musk and Grimes, baby “X Æ A-12” contained two. 
Grimes revealed the change in a reply to an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlmYlknL4E/">Instagram</a> user over the weekend, sharing that the baby’s new name was “X Æ A-Xii,” essentially a new spelling of the same name, but with roman numerals, which Grimes said actually “looks better.” 
The singer did not elaborate on why the name was changed, and it remains to be seen whether the Latin “Æ” symbol will hold up, considering that California also doesn’t allow symbols, other than apostrophes and dashes, outside the 26 letters of the English alphabet. 
Musk, who has fathered seven children, shared during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience earlier this month that Grimes was mostly the mastermind behind the name, and broke down the pronunciation of the name as follows:
“It’s just ‘X,’ the letter ‘X,’ and then the ‘Æ’ is pronounced ‘Ashe,’ and then A-12 is my contribution,” said the Tesla CEO. “Arcangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71: The coolest plane ever.” 
Grimes provided a similar explanation for how to pronounce the baby’s name on May 5, the day after he was born. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
•X, the unknown variable ⚔️ 
•Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &amp;/or Artificial intelligence) 
•A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent 🤍

As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-tells-reporters-he-may-attend-spacex-launch-jokes-id-like-to-put-you-on-the-rocket">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported, Musk has been receiving widespread attention for his criticism of government lockdowns and his upcoming SpaceX rocket launch, a commercial collaboration to send NASA astronauts to space on a privately built rocket. 
Earlier this month, Vice President Mike Pence commended the project at a meeting for the National Space Council, remarking that the mission was ushering in the &#8220;trailblazers of a new era&#8221; of space exploration. In addition, President Donald Trump has expressed interest in attending the launch, having previously told reporters at the White House that he hoped they would join him so he could put them on the rocket. 
“I’m thinking about going, that will be next week, to the rocket launch. I hope you’re all going to join me,” said Trump. “I’d like to put you on the rocket, and get rid of you for a while.”
Last Thursday, Musk retweeted a video from SpaceX showing Falcon 9, the rocket, and Crew Dragon, the human capsule, going vertical on the launch pad in Florida.

In 2016, residents of a home at the Willow Key Apartment complex in Orlando, Florida, found a newborn baby on their doorstep. In 2017, another baby was found at the apartment complex. In July 2019, a one-day-old baby was found on the same doorstep.
Police were called around 10 a.m. to the apartment building in July and found the newborn wrapped in a T-shirt. Included with the baby was a note that claimed the mother feared the father and that the baby may have been at risk. The baby abandoned in 2017 had a note asking the person who found the baby to take her to a fire station.
The Orlando Sentinel <a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-ne-willow-key-apartments-abandoned-babies-siblings-genealogy-20200415-pvbw5fqbqrfqldgwfolz55e6zu-story.html">reported</a> last week that an Orlando Police Department (OPD) detective submitted the babies’ DNA for testing and found a shocking result: All three abandoned newborns were siblings and had the same mother and father.
OPD then requested $5,000 from Orlando city commissioners to hire United Data Connect, described by the Sentinel as “a company that employs genetic genealogists and maintains a vast database of DNA profiles.” OPD wants to use the company to find the parents who have abandoned three newborns in three years.
“Based on the egregious and neglectful behavior of the parent(s), and the bizarre facts of this case, unlike any other documented case, it is imperative to conduct a well-being check of all involved parties,” Detective Ghena Wasserman Luker wrote in a memo to Chief Orlando Rolón, the Sentinel reported.
Last week, city commissioners unanimously approved the extra funding, “which comes out of the law enforcement trust fund, a reservoir of leftover forfeiture money that can be requested for special police needs such as extra equipment or offsetting the cost of a complex investigation,” the Sentinel reported.
Florida has a Safe Haven Law, which allows guardians to abandon a newborn baby up to 7 days old at a hospital or fire station without fear of criminal charges.
“When that happens, the child is given any medical treatment needed and put in custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families. In 2018, 223 infants across the country were recovered through Safe Haven laws,” the Sentinel reported.
Luker wrote in a memo that using DNA testing, investigators were able to identify possible family members, but “[i]nformation learned from the testing requires specialized knowledge of a genetic genealogist in order to be properly interpreted in an effort to identify the parents.”
OPD spokeswoman Heidi Rodriguez told the Sentinel that if the parents are identified, the department’s priority would be “to ensure the safety and well being of the mother and of any other children.” Rodriguez added that social services and medical attention “will be determined once we make contact with the family and determine their needs.”

It’s the pregnancy nightmare you didn’t know you had.
Crystan Graham went into labor early Monday morning. Her mother, Krystal Jones, tried to rush her to the hospital, but the roads were wet and her car hydroplaned off the Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn, Georgia, and crashed into the gate of the BAPS Hindu Temple, Fox 5 <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/pregnant-woman-gives-birth-during-car-wreck-then-cant-find-baby">reported</a>.
Graham somehow gave birth during the crash while sitting in the back seat of her mother’s car. Graham then came to the horrible realization that she could not find her new baby in the dark and wreckage. The baby, which weighed just 3 pounds 9 ounces, was nowhere to be found.
Fox 5 reported that Lilburn police officer Danny Bride “just happened to be driving by the scene seconds before the accident happened.” Officer Cepeda Huff was also in the area, and the two quickly arrived at the scene with body cam footage rolling. A third officer, Police Sgt. Matt Madden, arrived a minute later.
Footage provided to Fox 5 showed Bride walking up to the wrecked car asking, “Where was the baby at?” as Jones said they couldn’t find the newborn.
“We don’t know!” Jones cried. “I was just trying to get to the hospital.”
Bride asked her again where the baby was.
“In her womb!” Jones said. “She was giving birth!”
Bride later spoke to Fox 5 about the incident.
“We thought the baby might have gone out the window because there was so much debris in the back,” he told the outlet. “Our concern was whether the baby got tossed into the backseat or got tossed through the window.”
Huff told Fox 5 that it was difficult to see into the vehicle because of the damage and wet ground in the darkness.
“With the Georgia red clay and a newborn baby, I was thinking it was blending in with the mud,” he said.
They can be seen in the body cam footage searching the vehicle and outside it around the wet ground but not finding the baby.
Finally, Bride can be seen in the body cam footage asking Huff to look under middle-row seat of Jones’ SUV because he thought he might have seen part of the umbilical cord. When Huff checked, he found the tiny baby, alive.
“There is like a small little drop-off under the seat,” Huff told Fox 5. &#8220;And that’s where the baby laid right into a little pocket. And that’s where I found her.”
Huff took extra care when picking up the baby girl before the officers rushed her to an ambulance that had arrived on the scene. They then told Graham and Jones they had found the baby.
“We got your baby,” Bride told them. “Looks to be fine. She’s breathing and moving just fine.”
“Thank you, Jesus!” Jones replied. “She’s alive!”
Graham and the baby were taken to Gwinnett Medical Center. Graham has been discharged, while baby Cea Anderson is still being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit.
“It’s a great way to end a shift and it’s just about being in the right place and the right time,” officer Bride told Fox 5.
