Dallas ISD faulted for using fake Social Security numbers

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, November 14, 2008 11:16:46 PM

 Years after being advised by a state agency to stop, the Dallas Independent School District continued to provide foreign citizens with fake Social Security numbers to get them on the payroll quickly.  (   Dallas ISD faulted for using fake Social Security numbers |)

 

Some of the numbers were real Social Security numbers already assigned to people elsewhere. And in some cases, the state's educator certification office unknowingly used the bogus numbers to run criminal background checks on the new hires, most of whom were brought in to teach bilingual classes.

(How can this school  district and the leaders it has ever teach kids again to obey the law of the land.)

Neb. starts work on fixing child abandonment law

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, November 14, 2008 10:32:44 PM
Nebraska lawmakers got to work Friday in a rare special legislative session designed to repair a unique "safe haven" law that has unintentionally allowed parents to abandon nearly three dozen children as old as 17.  

Legislators introduced bills calling for limits on the age of children who can be dropped off at hospitals in an effort to prevent newborns from being dumped in trash bins or other dangerous places.

Nebraska was the last state to enact such a law but didn't include an age limit. That has resulted in 34 children so far being abandoned there, some of them from other states.
(Lets all hope the lawmakers of Nebraska can fixed this law, and that older kids will get the help they need and parents will stop giving up on their older children.Read more of this story right here.)

gas station owners and even attendees will be culpable if a thief gases up and drives away without paying

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Thursday, October 16, 2008 9:12:58 PM

 

 

Here’s one way to reduce your crime statistics: jail victims who report crime.

That’s the latest method of crime-stopping in Shreveport, Louisiana. Starting October 15, gas station owners and even attendees will be culpable if a thief gases up and drives away without paying. Owners and employees will face fines and even jail time. The reasoning is that they are partly “responsible” for the crime by not requiring all customers to pre-pay.
Councilman Monty Walford, who voted against the new ordinance, wonders whether the city will now require that grocery customers give a deposit before entering the store.

(I agree there are things business people can do to reduce the chances of  them needing the police but why should  people who are trying to make it as easy as possible for their customers. Why does crime happen because some souls have decided to disobey the law. Read more on this story The Crime of Being Robbed or listen to a radio commentary about it here.)

Trinidad Checkpoints Prompt Lawsuit -

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, July 25, 2008 12:09:51 PM

 Trinidad  is a bad part of  Washington, D.C. In response to a recent crime wave in that  neighborhood  police set up vehicle checkpoints to keep would-be people who didn't live in  Trinidad  from being able to get in. Guess what happened some on the left filed  a lawsuit. ( D.C. Police Checkpoints Prompt Lawsuit - Investiga...   )

Then guess what happened the police had to pull out and guess what happened after that. The shootings resumed including the killing of a 13 year old boy. As Cal Thomas (commentary July 25, 2008  ) pointed out in a radio commentary today those on the left who forced the police to move out have blood on their hands.

When possible we need to do all we can  to stop killers. The police were doing their job. Those on the left who fight for rights have got to start thinking about the rights of those who were killed.  Cal is right blood is not only on the hands of the killers but also those  who stopped the police from doing their job. This is an outrage and should upset all of us including  those of us who live far away from D.C.
