Child Abuse – Conference Calls for Multi-Disciplinary Action and
Protection for Children

Children are the undisputed greatest gifts on earth, but how prepared
and equipped is the society to ensure that the innocent ones are
cherished, shielded, guarded and supported by responsible adults?
Protecting children from abuse and empowering them to exercise their
right to safeguard their integrity was the highlight of the National
Conference on Child Abuse for Multi Disciplinary Professionals, held
on 17th September 2010, at the Seminar Hall of SRMC and RI, Sri
Ramachandra University, Chennai.

Action and Protection for Children

Pledging Solidarity to Prevent Child Abuse

The conference encouraged involvement from members beyond the NGOs and
other social welfare organizations to create awareness on the
prevalence of child abuse and steps to check the crime perpetrated
against young lives. Active participation included professionals from
various disciplines, people from different states in India and
sponsors from organizations that are committed to the abolition of any
form of child abuse. The numbers present proved the awareness; hence
the evident focus was the call for action.

Lurking Danger

Dr. Shantha Sinha, Chairperson, National Commission for Protection of
Child Rights, Delhi, highlighted in her speech as to how children are
vulnerable to abuse by people closely trusted by them such as fathers,
teachers, wardens and neighbors. But the little ones are overpowered
and forced to succumb to the abusive adults thrusting victims to
silence. One of the three brutal examples of child abuse cited by Dr.
Sinha, was where one child victim whose uterus had to be removed
because of the violence perpetrated on her, demanded justice but was
abandoned by the legal system because the police wouldn't even file an
FIR. Another similar example exposed the state of irresponsibility of
authorities and the loopholes in the existing system of law and order
that allowed the criminal to go scot-free after severely abusing a
child.

Limitations in the Legal System

Sexual assault does not necessarily involve physical contact— non-
contact and invasive assaults should also be categorized as sexual
assault in the legal system. As of now, the legal system addresses
sexual molestation only to female victims and not boys. Plus,
investigative measures often re-victimize the abused child.

The conference emphasized on the need for pre-investigative procedure
to collect evidence, and conduct an inquiry where the child will be
comfortable through the procedure. The Juvenile Justice system should
integrate 'children in contact with law' where children should be
given a fair hearing as witnesses. Investigation by police should
protect children from hostile processes and secondary victimization.
And finally the examination procedure must not be harmful to the
child.

Pressing Amendments

Since children are in no position to express abuse inflicted on them,
the repercussions have long term devastating impact such as HIV/AIDS,
depression, suicide, behavioral disorder and so on. "Children do not
report abuse", accounted Dr. Sinha, and hence insisted on creating a
safe and supportive environment to be implemented in households,
schools, hostels and everywhere children spend time.

The first amendment suggested was at the Policy Level, where there
should be universal and secondary education for children, followed by
zero tolerance to sexual abuse. This plainly means the need for
legislative reform. Secondly at the Service Level, in other words at
the Capacity Level where people should be in a position to protect and
be sensitive to children. For this, adequate training on handling
child abuse must be a mandate to lawyers, police, teachers, and people
from other disciplines. Thirdly, family must be supportive.
Discrimination of girl child, child marriage, sending children far
away to work as domestic help has to be discouraged and severely dealt
with, if reported. Finally and most importantly children should be
empowered to protect themselves and others. The role of media will
definitely induce awareness on child abuse but media should assume
responsibility to treat the issue with sensitivity.

Support and Sponsorship

The conference was felicitated by dignitaries, especially Honorable
Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Chairman National Human Rights Commission,
New Delhi, Thiru. V.R. Thanikachalam, Chancellor Sri Ramachandra
University, Chennai, Ms. Mary Yapur, Training Officer, International
Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, USA, Dr. Satish
Kumar, State Representative, Chennai and Kerala, UNICEF, Dr. Sarojini
Varadappan, President, ICCW, Tamil Nadu and Dr. S. Rangaswami, Vice
Chancellor, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai. The conference was
organized by Indian Council for Welfare, Tamil Nadu and Sri
Ramachandra University, Porur, Chennai. The program was supported by
International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect
(ISPCAN) and OAK Foundation in partnership with PLAN India and Save
the Children (Bal Raksha). The Resource Book containing details on
measures that need to be implemented and the current state of affairs
on Child Abuse was presented on this occasion. As Ms. Mary Yapur put
it, the vision of Mr. Henry Camp, the founder of International Society
for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, was to implement a multi-
disciplinary action, because every individual has a very important
role to play in addressing the issue of child abuse.

Documentary to spread awareness on right to life done
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Documentary-to-spread-awareness-on-right-to-lifedone/articleshow/6581828.cms

TNN, Sep 19, 2010,

PUNE: "There are many in the country who are unaware of the law of the
land. The focus should be on the right for a dignified life for every
human being. That's why there's a greater need to be sensitive and use
law, especially for social change," said Supreme Court Justice Hemant
Gokhale while speaking about Right To Life,' a documentary on socio-
legal lawyering, screened at the National Film Archive of India on
Saturday.

Produced by Sahyog Trust, which is run by city-based human rights
activist and lawyer Asim Sarode, and directed by Shilpa Ballal, the 45-
minute documentary in Marathi attempts to spread human rights
awareness from the socio-legal perspective. The film addresses
different issues, sectors, classes and groups where human rights
violation occurs. The film features victims of domestic violence,
released prisoners, people living with HIV/AIDS and commercial sex
workers sharing their experiences of living a difficult life and their
struggle due to the poor access to justice.

The screening was also attended by retired Mumbai high court judge B G
Kolse-Patil and Ratnakar Mahajan from the Maharashtra State Planning
Board.

"It's necessary for everyone right from the police and lawyers to the
entire judicial system and the masses at large to be sensitive and
aware of their rights. You cannot avail of the laws if you don't have
the knowledge of them," said Gokhale, while narrating his own
experiences while dealing with cases related to right to life.

"Difficulty in accessibility, lack of awareness, financial problems
and social standing have been some of the reasons for the victims of
human rights abuse not being able to make use of the laws available in
the country," said Sarode.

Right To Life' also features Justice V R Krishna Iyer, Justice
Chandrashekhar Dharmadhikari and retired director general of
Maharashtra police Bhaskarrao Misal. While Iyer questions the whole
idea of getting caught in the web of a mechanical judicial network,
Misal requests a united front in working by the police, lawyers and
judges, while dealing with court cases.

Addressing the audience, Gokhale also suggested certain solutions that
can help people make correct use of the law. "Knowledge of the Right
To Information Act, writing letters to the court that could also serve
as petitions, or going on record as a witness of a crime are the few
steps one can take in order to fight for right to life," said
Gokhale.

For Sarode, the film is an attempt to project his experiences and
challenges in the field of human rights activism, and take it further
to people, right down to the grassroots. "We are going to network with
various organisations, students and lawyers across Maharashtra in
order to screen the film to the masses," said Sarode.

[socialactionfoundationforequity:6416 Absent Father Might Mean Earlier Puberty for Higher-Income Girls

Absent Father Might Mean Earlier Puberty for Higher-Income Girls
http://www.businessweek.com/lifestyle/content/healthday/643206.html

Findings add to previous research, but experts still can't explain
linkBy Kathleen Doheny
HealthDay Reporter

FRIDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Girls growing up in higher-income
homes without a biological father are likely to reach puberty earlier
than others, new research finds.

"In higher-income families, father absence predicted earlier puberty,
but it did not in lower-income, father-absent [households]," said
study leader Julianna Deardorff.

"Girls in upper-income households without a father were at least twice
as likely to experience early onset of puberty, as demonstrated by
breast development," she said. The researchers defined higher income
as $50,000 or more a year.

Early maturation in girls is linked with emotional and substance use
problems and earlier sexual activity. These girls also face a higher
risk for breast cancer and other reproductive cancers later in life.

Previous research has linked absent-father households and earlier
puberty, but this study adds more information, said Deardorff, an
assistant professor of public health at the University of California,
Berkeley.

"We were looking at very early signs," such as breast development and
the growth of pubic hair, she said. Other researchers have focused on
the start of menstruation without looking at factors such as income
and ethnicity, according to background information in the study.

Girls are reaching puberty earlier in the United States, where the
average age of menstruation is about 12 years, Deardorff said. Recent
research has found some girls starting to develop breasts as early as
age 7 or 8.

For their study, published Sept. 17 in the Journal of Adolescent
Health, Deardorff and her colleagues followed 444 girls, aged 6 to 8
at the start, and their mothers. They gathered extensive data on
factors such as weight, height, stage of breast and pubic hair
development, father's presence and income. Eighty percent of the girls
said their fathers did not live with them.

After two years of follow-up, the researchers saw earlier breast
development in higher-income girls in absentee-dad homes across the
board, but noted earlier pubic hair growth only in black girls from
richer families. Having another male, such as a stepfather, in the
home didn't change the findings.

They also found, as other researchers have, that higher body-mass
index (BMI), a calculation based on height and weight, was also linked
with earlier puberty.

The authors said they can only speculate on the reasons behind the
connections. Exposure to more artificial light from TVs or computers
is one theory. Other possibilities include weak maternal bonding,
assuming a single mother is working long hours, or contact with
chemicals that may have estrogenic effects -- perhaps hair
straighteners in the case of black preteens.

"It's possible girls in those homes are exposed to different
environmental exposures, for example, toxins," Deardorff said. They
may be exposed more to cosmetics and other personal care products, for
instance, and some experts have expressed concerns about what they see
as hormone-disrupting chemicals in those products.

Anthony Bogaert, a professor of community health sciences at Brock
University in St. Catharines, Canada, reported a link between absent
fathers and early puberty in boys and girls in in 2005 in the Journal
of Adolescence.

Looking at a national sample, he found that those who had had an
absent father at 14 had likely had an early age of puberty. For his
study, he defined puberty for girls as the onset of menstruation and
for boys, voice change.

"It is difficult to know why this relationship occurs -- for example,
stress, genes -- so more work needs to be conducted on the exact
mechanism underlying it," he said. This new study is an "interesting"
addition to the literature on the topic, he said.

How can parents in father-absent homes compensate, if at all?

Until researchers determine the cause of the connection, Bogaert said
it's premature to offer suggestions.

Deardorff suggested focusing on other links, such as the higher BMI
and its association with earlier puberty.

"Probably one of the primary targets is going to be body weight and
physical activity [to maintain a healthy weight]," she said.

I'm not so interested in the reason for the parting of ways - there
are always a myriad of factors, personality not being the least - so
much as Riis' he-didn't-hurt-me-at-ALL,-bro! comments. What exactly
is he saying with that comment about getting a sponsor? If you have
Cancellara and the Schleck brothers on the team it's not exactly going
to be a stretch to get people interested. And the "I got the best out
of him" is a barely concealed "I gave her the best years of my life."
It's pitiful. I'm wondering which RBR empathic giant will step up and
counsel him through his grief...

Riis is right - Cancellera is beyond his prime. His best days are behind him. The Schleck brothers are pencil
dicks doped to the gills. This new Luxembourg team looks like it has Rashaan Bahati in charge of the sponsorship
talks.

Going with a tried and tested doper like Contador whose corrupt Spanish federation makes sure their kingpin doesn't
get popped is an added bonus.

It could be the reasons you suggested, or something simpler. The Schlecks had a
team built around them being dangled in front of them, with the bonus that it's from
their own country. It sounds like a "grass is greener" thing to me. And with their
exit and the shakiness of Riis' sponsorship situation, the other riders decide that
it might be time to go along with the Schlecks or go elsewhere.

I don't pay attention to baseball, but the NFL and the NBA have an appeals
process to any ruling by the commissioner. The NFL's appeals process is sort
of a show trial since the appeal is made to the commissioner himself, but
the NBA's is conducted by an independent arbitrator.

You know, I thought you did that, but I don't recall the reference to
controlling greed so I wasn't quite sure if it was just a coincidence. But in
light of your claim, I will give you credit for the Gekko discovery.

Football and soccer are not good benchmarks for cycling because doping does not
have a direct outcome on the final score in a football game as much as dopng in
cycling does.

In sports where pure endurance is the difference between winning and losing,
you can't enforce doping in cycling like in ball sports, especially those that
depend on an entire team effort. There are no drugs in football or soccer that
will definitely make a persons core more goals. But in cycling, EPO will
definitely help you win.

Same with track and swimming. Dopers could come along and kick ass unless you
weeded them out.

Dumbass -

One of them ran a 4.8 at the Combine last year.

That is in-fucking-credible for someone who weighs 300 lbs.

If you want to do something for The Children, first thing to do is make
public any deathbed confessions you've heard someone make to their doctor.

First of all, just because Betsy invoked 'the children' thing in a recent
quote...that doesn't mean it's her total motive. You should never really
read quotes as a total and absolute explanation for anything unless the
person makes that intent clear. She didn't.

Second, Lance wasn't on his 'deathbed.' The guy was never really in danger
of dying. That's part of the whole Lance Armstrong myth to make him out to
be superhuman. Ernie Lechuga had a testicle removed from his satchel and he
didn't die either. Did he cheat death too? Nobody really dies from testicle
cancer. That's right up there with jeff Gordon claiming in divorce papers
that being a NASCAR driver is a really dangerous thing when statistics say
otherwise.

Third, absent Betsy's revelations, the federal case and pending USADA case
would still be going forward as neither will likely focus on pre-96 doping.
SO Betsy, while entertaining, is really a red herring.

Fourth, Lance made the decision to reveal information to people with whom he
had no formal contract to maintain confidentiality. Even if he did, they are
required to tell the truth under subpoena.

Fifth, the people who perjured themselves under oath are committing felonies
because they all have financial motives to lie. Bill Clinton was impeached
because he lied under oath and fined $75,000 by a federal judge. Clinton
was also disbarred. You don't do that shit and then cry about it.

Sixth, Betsy didn't reveal anything personal. The fact that Lance doped and
admitted it in a milieu where he assumed it was confidential, but in reality
wasn't, isn't a compelling argument. If Lance wanted confidentiality he
should have made people sign nondisclosure agreements. Betsy signed on to no
such rider.

Taking steroids actually does kill children and harm many more (especially in
Texas - king of steroid football). So Betsy's argument comes across to me as
more genuine and compelling than a guy who gave himself cancer with steroids
and then claims to the world they should donate to his cancer foundation
because he's such a great role model.

Dumbass,

Armstrong's testicular cancer metastasized to his lungs and brain.
That's what was life threatening.

I looked, I couldn't find any examples - can you cite just one case
where a child (i.e. under 18) who took steroids to improve athletic
performance died? I don't deny plenty take them and are possibly
harmed, but I haven't heard of a death connected to it.

And the thing is, you can normally never heal from a metastasized
cancer, that makes him a superhuman, or we don't know the whole
story...

That's what my previous research had turned up and I looked it up
again...http://www.howtostopcancer.com/ :

"The 5-year survival rate for metastasized cancer of any origin is
almost ZERO despite what current medical science has to throw at the
problem. Current medicine does a decent job dealing with localized
cancer, but if it metastasizesÉ.its pretty much Ògame over!"

Wonder why no medical expert has marvelled at Armstrong beating a
metastasized cancer...

I'll start a new thread about that actually.

You must not have read the website you are using as a source for
knowledge. You are quoting a website that is basically an
advertisment (by someone with no indicated medical training, skill, or
knowledge) who is selling his book.

You realizes that this is the opposite of an authority.

He tells you you can have his protocol absolutely free! Then when you
click on the link, he tells you it's "only $37 for a REAL book."

It comes with a moneyback guarantee (you get your $37 back if you die)?

> Wonder why no medical expert has marvelled at Armstrong beating a
> metastasized cancer...

Because medical experts understand that cancer is complicated (both
before and after metastasis) and that there are many different types
of cancer with many different forms and levels of metastasis upon
discovery and with many different prognoses.

Please don't.

There's a long list of big names who have won MSR. Very few "little
guys". Of course, not many "little guys" have won 5 stages in one TdF.

Of course, there's always the Merckx Criticism IRT MSR: "He won it too
often" <g>.

Well, what can I say: Some people might be full of a dislike for a boy
racer who wins sprints with or without his leadout train (ahem), wears
his heart on his sleeve and calls 'em as he sees 'em, including who
the top dog bunch sprinter is, and roundly (rightly, honestly) thanks
his team for getting him to his launch point personally and during
post-race interviews.

"I didn't feel my legs all day" I thought was a memorable quote that
might have ruffled a few feathers.

Since I have power I get the comfort of not having to use a HRM belt
while still getting useful data. And, of course, if you have power (and
a nicely calibrated sense of RPE) then HR is at best redundant and at
worst misleading.

From: Grinch

Haven't been around lately, now that I look in I see a whole lot of
woe and gnashing of teeth about a 1-pt loss.

But a dozen plays in that game that could have gone another way, and
been worth that one pt or more.

For one, Greene's second fumble of the first half, on the Balt 24,
probably cost them at least a FG and let Balt go the full distance the
other way for a TD as time ran out in the first half -- probably a 10-
point swing right there.

If he doesn't fumble, and the rest of the game goes just as it did,
everyone here is beating their chest about how they put the Ravens
away with Big D and ball-control O, the way to win to a championship!
So don't let one 1-pt loss get you down too much,

Oh, well.... Speaking of young Green having the fumbles and dropsies,
if Rex is planning to win with the big running game as he's said so
often, being that it is an uncapped year, and the team is built to
"win now", wouldn't it be nice to have TJ still around to take a few
carries?

As to the O being so conservative, it is Rexy ball folks. C'mon. The
idea that Rex doesn't know what Schott is doing, and/or has no power
to control it .... it's the old sydrome: "Our Great Leader has nothing
to do with all the atrocities and injustices, it's his minions doing
it, he has no idea..." Nope, it was the Great Leader each and every
time. And it is Rex. He wants that safe conservative O, *no more* 4-
pick and 5-pick games by Sanchez, so the D can win. And it worked
last week, no picks by Sanchez!

Is it *too* conservative? I dunno. As conservative as it was, as
rinky-dink most of the pass attempts were, the kid was still only 10
of 21 for 74 yds and a rating of 56. Those numbers don't instill a
whole lot of confidence in the idea of him instead flinging the ball
all over.

The Ravens have a real good and aggressive D, and I imagine against
lesser Ds they'll give Sanchez more opportunities and he'll do
better. To some degree.

But face it, Sanchez is a project. They are going to be protecting
him all year. And they should. Objectively he is *bad*, a weakness on
this team. *The* weakness on this team. He has some real promise, he
may be good someday. But he is a baby, inexperienced and immature, and
they have thrown him in well before his time to take a "win now" team
to the Super Bowl.

Last year he was 28th in the league by NFL passer rating -- and 35th,
with negative numbers, in Footballoutsiders' ratings. *Bad.* Maybe
he's better this year, but he sure *hasn't shown it* yet. Not last
week, not on HBO that I saw ... and until he does, they'd better damn
well keep protecting him from trying too much.

So get used to it.

Graziano: Jets must unshackle Sanchez
Quarterback, offense can't be afraid of making mistakes

http://tinyurl.com/29dlmgb

Best paragraph:

"Think about it. They did absolutely nothing on offense Monday, committed 14
penalties, converted one of 11 third downs, allowed the other team to
convert 11 of 19, and still only lost the game 10-9. The Jets' defense is a
monster, with or without Kris Jenkins, even on a night when it limits
Darrelle Revis to half the field (which the team is not likely to do again,
starting this week with Randy Moss)."

I check in every now and then. The other message boards allow for
pictures, videos and really are easier in format and more fun. The
absence of pictures on usenet is just so 1980's. In adition, the spam
on usenet can get out of control. THere are many good Jetrs forums:

nyjetschat.com
jetsinsider.com (landing strip forum)
jetsnation.com
theganggreen.com

I participate in the first two on the list.

If you like this Usenet group, then you should like NYjetschat.com,
because the level of negativity there rivals that of this forum. :)

jetsinsider.com landing strip is a mixture of youth and veteran fans
like myself. I enjoy it a lot and it is a great source of
information. Because there are so many participants, you have to sort
out the stupid posts from the intelligent ones, but there are many
very thoughtful and insightful fans who post there.

Of all the usenet forums, this one has survived the longest. The Pats
forum is dead (all spam and racism now). Miami still kicking with
oldtimers like us, but most NFL usenet forums are done.

Actually that was the first post I made here in a very long time. I
was about done with this place after a pretty nasty argument with one
of the other regs here but I always checked in and read as yoyodog
does. I hang mostly at Jetschat.com now. Good group of older Jet fans
and all pretty knowledgeable. Some of them actually remind me of a few
posters here. I could swear Burf posts under Ironmaiden there but the
real IM has not blamed everything wrong with the Jets on Schott yet so
I am having my doubts on that theory ;)

"After reading all the Jets preseason clips
and watching "Hard Knocks," I couldn't help
but think that somewhere up in football heaven
late Giants GM George Young is having a chuckle.
Early in my career when I was with the Giants,
the Jets were making a lot of headlines in the
New York press. I mentioned something to George
about it, and in his typical cynical response
he says, "It's all BS. Every year the Jets win
the offseason with their moves but when the
season starts it's back to reality and the Jets lose."

I had to clean up George's wording some but you get
the picture."

Frankly, if REvis can really shut down anyone, I would prefer they
put him on Welker and take him out of the game. I trust Wilson on the
guy opposite Moss.

Frankly, if Cromartie cannot play Moss so that he does not dominate the
entire game, he is worthless.

But I would not allow Welker to beat me two ways:

Catching all those passes,

Rewarding Brady for getting rid of the ball before the Blitzs get to him.

Yeah, I've read some articles about this. I think even Albert Breer
asked Rex about this. It's a good idea. Three problems though:

1. Mangini did this before. And he's an idiot. So in the back of my
mind, there has to be something idiotic about it that we're missing.

2. The Pats also have Edelman (who will likely be healthy for this game)
giving you two "Welkers" on the field.

3. If you play Moss over the top with the corner (safe), then he'll beat
you with quick slants which they like to give him. If you give
Cromartie safety help over the top and allow Cromartie to play tight
coverage, you take a safety away from the LOS where they've been so
effective. If you let Cromartie have him one on one, it's very risky.
Revis can do it. Not many other corners can -- maybe no one.

So, although it doesn't seem like a bad strategy, I think I'd still opt
to take Moss out of the game with Revis and then concentrate coverage on
Welker by using either a corner or slot safety (Leonhard) plus leaving a
linebacker in the middle who can smash Welker or Edelman when they go
inside. More important than COVERAGE on Welker is the ability to play
physical against him and TACKLE him. Almost all of his yards come from
YAC, so it will ultimately come down to whether or not the first guy
makes the tackle. I say let David Harris and Bart Scott have a field
day with him and try to generate pressure with the front guys and the
edge rushers (BLT had a very good game last week...sorry to say, Harlan).

The truth is the Jets are overmanned. I just get tired of losing to your
slot receiver. I say take him out of the game and let someone else do
the honors. I prefer Edeleman or Moss against Wilson and Cromartie and
perhaps a safety.

I think this is the perfect analogy to one can pick one's poison,

Harlan, what I always wondered was why the Jets didn't try to use him as
a slot receiver, a la Welker and Edelman. I wonder if this is what the
Pats have in store for him.

Or maybe they're just pumping him for information.

This is just what the Pats need, an undersized fast white guy who
