Unlikely Suspects: Predators in Disguise
One year ago, Daniel A. Woolverton, 35, was known as a father, a husband, a U.S. Army Lawyer, and a West Point Graduate. Today, he is known among his neighbors, peers and kin as a pedophile, receiving a 37-year sentence for forcible sodomy with an infant. When the FBI executed a search warrant, they uncovered …
Pornography & Pop Culture: Pushing the Limits, Sexualizing Youth
I recently came across Cosmopolitan’s 2010 Sex Survey, which reported that 36% of women use pornography as a “sex enhancer”. In another Cosmo article, the magazine essentially begs its readers to explore the many “benefits” of pornography. One standout paragraph said: “While one must be aware of the dangers of porn addiction, [pornography] can be …
Facebook, Foursquare and Geolocation, OH MY!
Reports out today suggest that Facebook may have partnered with Localeze, a local search provider that provides Twitter’s “places” directory, to debut a new geolocation “check-in” feature in the next couple of weeks. Geolocation (in brief): Geolocation provides the real-world geographic location of an object (like a cell phone or other Internet-connected device). So a program …

Betts was a well-loved Principal at Shaw Middle School, in Washington, D.C., respected by both his colleagues and students.

Protect Your Kids, Whether from Ph.D., Pauper or Priest
As the Catholic Church abuse crisis has entered a new international phase, it is clear that the church’s response has been, in the words of Ireland’s top Catholic cardinal, “hopelessly inadequate”. In one case, a priest was convicted of abusing three boys and yet was allowed to resume work in the church and with children, …
Rape Lay: When online games go too far
In an earlier post, I talked about how a key concern over the popularity of video games is that so much of the content is hypersexualized, and that pornography is often embedded in games (such as Grand Theft Auto).
