Teen Commit Suicide 2010

  This is very sad as a another teen took his like..

So far the only news report comes from The Daily Item, a local Pennsylvania newspaper, and we've learned our lesson about picking up poorly sourced news reports about bullying suicides, and rarely do we pray we're actually being hoaxed, but the sad news of 14-year-old high schooler Brandon Bitner killing himself is impossible to ignore. (Update: After some initial caution, we've confirmed Bitner's death is most definitely not a ruse.)

Bitner reportedly ran in front of a tractor truck to kill himself around 3am Friday morning, leaving behind a suicide note. The ninth-grader at Midd-West High School in Middleberg had, days before, attended an anti-bullying school assembly. Superintendent Wesley Knapp says there's never been a reported incident of bullying at the school -- a statistic that shows Midd-West is not, in fact, a place of 100% sunshine and smiles, but a place with a flawed system to combat bullying: Students say Brandon was indeed subjected to anti-gay torment.

For now, Knapp is telling parents, "I would encourage parents to talk with their school-age children regarding this tragedy, and encourage their children to seek help when they feel frustrated, depressed, and encourage them to reach out to other students who seem lonely or hurting. ... It is a blow to any school to lose a student, but suicide makes the pain of the loss even greater than it would normally be, and school personnel are doing everything they can do to help students through the pain, and more importantly try to ensure that students receive help and attention before they feel they need to take drastic measures to end their life.”

A hastily assembled memorial page at BrandonBitner.com -- a domain registered Nov. 6, the day after his death -- says the funeral will be Wednesday.

(The Daily Item, which this blogger has never heard of before, claims to have a history dating back to the 1930s.)

Kid Fostered , Parents Kick Out Of Home For Discussion Of Being Homosexual

Hey Y'all been reading the news today and came across this article about Foster parents in the UK not wanting kids that are Homosexual. Read this article here.

Discrimination based on religion v. discrimination based on sexual orientation

About half of Americans are against adoption by homosexual couples, and the state of Florida banned gay adoption for 33 years before the law was declared unconstitutional. Britain, though, does not share America's skepticism towards the practice.

Quite the opposite, actually. A court in London recently ruled that potential parents opposed to homosexuality may not take in foster children.

A Pentecostal British couple was denied a foster child over their opposition to homosexuality, according to the Religion News Service blog. The U.K.'s 2007 Equality Act prevents discrimination based on sexual orientation and applies to adoption agencies, including those with religious ties, though groups like evangelicals tend to take a stand against same-sex partnerships, believing that biblically God intended marriage for one man and one woman.

From Reuters:

The couple, who are Pentecostal Christians, had gone to court after a social worker expressed concerns about them becoming respite carers after they said they could not tell a child that a "homosexual lifestyle" was acceptable.

Eunice and Owen Johns, both in their 60s and from Derbyshire in the English midlands, asked judges to rule that their faith should not be a bar to them becoming carers, and that the law should protect their Christian values.

But Lord Justice Munby and Mr. Justice Beatson ruled at the Royal Courts of Justice in London that laws protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation "should take precedence" over the right not to be discriminated against on religious grounds, the Press Association reported.

The couple said after the case that being a Christian was not a crime and should not stop them from raising children.

"We have been excluded because we have moral opinions based on our faith, and a vulnerable child has probably now missed the chance of finding a safe and caring home," they said in a statement issued through the Christian Legal Centre.

What a difference the Atlantic makes: in America, there's the belief that gay parents should not adopt; In Britain, the belief that anti-gay parents should not adopt.

It seems to come down to the U.K.'s legal mandate to prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation in schools, workplaces, civil society and the government, for which there is no equivalent in the U.S., where laws vary by state.

In America, First Amendment guarantees to religious freedom come first, and that's why the Boy Scouts, churches, adoption agencies and other private groups can consider sexual orientation as a factor.

This world is horrible of how they treat one another we are all equal in gods eyes and world. We should all have equal rights and freedom in all areas of the world but do we hell no.People are so judgmental and rude and hatful and I think all people like that need to go to hell because we are all equal no matter the color of skim,tall or shot,gay,bi or straight or ugly or pretty young or old we are all equal. People that do these things need to go to prison. Please follow this blog and comment and share please help stop bullying,haters and so forth thanks

Father Charged,Two Kids Shot,One Death

Father charged with murder after two children shot

This Is horrible, I don't know why a man would do this to his kids, or anyone for that matter. I hope the family helps th girl get through this.This is a sad case to report. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers

A San Jacinto County father has been arrested after two of his children were shot, one fatally, as officers tried to serve an arrest warrant at his Coldspring home Monday afternoon.

Predrag Perisic, 54, formerly of La Porte, is charged with murder in San Jacinto County and interference with child custody in Harris County, law enforcement officials said. Bond on the murder charge was set at $1 million. No bond was set on the interference charge.

Officers with the Texas Attorney General's Office Cyber Crime Task Force, Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and deputies with the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Officewent to Perisic's home at 21 Red Bird Lane in Coldspring at about 5 p.m. Monday to serve the arrest warrant for child custody interference, reports show.

The officers had cleared the first story of the residence and walked upstairs to the second floor when they heard gunshots coming from the rear of the house.

When officers arrested Perisic, they found his two children — a 12-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy - had been shot. Officers believe the children were shot by their father, a sheriff's office press release states.

The 10-year-old boy, Deyan Perisic, was rushed to Memorial Medical Center in Livingston, where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room. The 12-year-old girl, Danyel Perisic, was flown by medical helicopter toMemorial Hermann Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition today.

Predrag Perisic had been charged Nov. 5 with interference with child custody, a state jail felony offense, following a La Porte Police Department investigation, records show.

The criminal complaint accuses the children's father of failing to return them Nov. 3 to their mother, a La Porte woman who had been granted custody of the youths by a Superior Court in the Province of Quebec in Canada.

Perisic was supposed to return the children to their mother at her attorney's office in Houston that day, but never showed up, the criminal complaint states.

The mother's neighbors in La Porte told police they last saw Perisic and the children Oct. 31 when he was driving a 2000 gray Jeep Cherokee, a vehicle that authorities later discovered had been reported stolen in Seattle, the criminal complaint shows.

La Porte police also discovered neither child had attended school since Oct. 25 and that their father had contacted the schools on Oct. 26 to inform staff that the children would no longer be attending classes since they were returning to Canada.

Both Perisic and the children's mother are Canadian citizens, court records show. He had filed for divorce from her earlier this year.

The San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office would not comment or answer any questions about the shootings today and referred all questions to the San Jacinto County District Attorney's Office. The prosecutor handling the case in the district attorney's office did not immediately respond to inquiries from the Chronicle.

Mark Madoff, Son of Bernie Madoff, Commits Suicide

The oldest son of Bernie Madoff, the Wall Street broker who defrauded millions from investors like Steven Spielberg, John Malkovich, Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, took his own life Saturday in New York City. Mark Madoff, 46, was found hanging in his Soho home by his father-in-law on what was the second anniversary of Bernie Madoff's arrest for running a decades-long Ponzi scheme, reports The New York Times.

Attorney Martin Flumenbaum said in a statement, "This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy. Mark was an innocent victim of his father's monstrous crime who succumbed to two years of unrelenting pressure from false accusations and innuendo. We are all deeply saddened by this shocking turn of events."

Mark Madoff was the head trader at his father's firm and along with his brother Andrew, turned his father in to authorities after he confessed to his crimes. The brothers maintained that they had no knowledge of the elder Madoff's illegal activities.

The brothers, a cousin and an uncle, were sued for $200 million last fall by the trustee collecting money for Bernie Madoff's victims, notes the Los Angeles Times.

Bernie Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence in Federal prison.

Twin shooting was suicide pact, survivor says

This story is very sad to hear that two teens that are sisters but wait they aren't just sister there twin sister who attempted suicide, one died and the other is in the hospital from a gun shot wound in the head.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The double-shooting of Australian twin sisters that left one of the women dead was a suicide pact, investigators said Thursday after interviewing the surviving sister.

The 29-year-old sisters had been in the Denver area for about five weeks before they went to a shooting range Monday.

Investigators say each woman shot herself in the head with ammunition bought at the range, one using a rented .22-caliber revolver and the other a rented .22-caliber semiautomatic handgun.

The surviving sister remains hospitalized in serious condition. She told officials the two planned to commit suicide together and that they shot themselves at the range, Arapahoe County Sheriff's Capt. Louie Perea said Thursday.

Physical evidence and surveillance video from the range supports that claim, he added.

"She was angry, upset, frustrated — any of the range of emotions one must feel," Perea said of the surviving sister. "But she still allowed us to complete an interview."

She wouldn't say why the two wanted to commit suicide, Perea said. No charges are expected to be filed against her.

Authorities are withholding the sisters' names until they can confirm their identities, and are waiting for copies of the women's fingerprints from immigration officials.

Investigators originally didn't know which twin died and which one survived because they looked so much alike. No suicide note was found and a search of the twins' luggage at a nearby hotel revealed nothing, investigators said.

It's still not clear what the sisters were doing in the United States.

They are from Victoria state in southeast Australia and came to the U.S. on cultural exchange visas. One arrived in the country Sept. 7, with a visa set to expire Dec. 8. The other arrived Aug. 19; her visa was set to expire Tuesday.

Relatives of the twins are scheduled to arrive in Colorado on Friday afternoon, Perea said.

The sisters had been at the shooting center at Cherry Creek State Park before. Perea said one sister underwent gun training two weeks before the shooting. Both showed up at the range about a week later for additional gun training.

The day of the shooting, the sisters arrived at the Family Shooting Center at about 1:30 p.m. and rented the handguns and bought ammunition.

Shooters at the range stand in wooden stalls and shoot at targets through an opening that resembles a window.

The twins shared a stall and complained to range staff about the noise coming from a patron next to them, who was using a high-powered rifle, Perea said. The sisters were then moved several firing lanes down, away from other shooters.

"I don't know if they did that to be in a more secluded area or what," Perea said.

It was cold, and one of the sisters borrowed a jacket from another patron. Surveillance video shows the sister leaving the stall and placing the borrowed jacket on a table before walking back to her shooting lane, Perea said.

A short time later, surveillance video captured the suicide and suicide attempt. It showed the sisters falling out of their stall about a half-second apart, with other patrons quickly reacting, Perea said.

The twins had been at the range about an hour and 20 minutes.

Samantha Kelly was taunted and harassed for making rape allegations against a senior boy at her high school until she finally collapsed under the stress and killed herself, according to her mother, and her family has apparently endured more of the same treatment on the memorial Facebook page they set up in her name.

It all started in September. The 14-year-old girl and her mother, June Justice, went to the Huron Township police station, the day after the teen's alleged encounter with 18-year-old Joseph Tarnopolski, to file a sexual assault report. At the time it was considered a statutory rape case, meaning the pair had consensual sex but that she was under the age of consent.

But then on Oct. 18 a local t-v station aired an interview with Samantha Kelly and Justice, in which Justice criticized the school for not protecting her daughter, and further accused Tarnopolski of rape. That's when the taunting started, according to Justice.

Kelly hung herself on Monday, Nov. 8, after an especially brutal day of taunting and harassment. By Wednesday the sexual assault charges against Tarnopolski were dropped, with prosecutors saying they had no case without the accuser's testimony.

Samantha's mother screamed at Tarnopolski after his brief court appearance and had to be restrained by a relative. She told reporters she was not consulted about the decision to dismiss the third-degree criminal sexual conduct charge.

"My daughter did not get any justice," Samantha Kelly's mother said.

The memorial Facebook page "RIP, Samantha Kelly" has over 3,500 members and has also reportedly been under the same onslaught of taunts that drove the 14-year-old to suicide.

The offending comments appear to have been removed but the reactions to the comments remain and at least one suggests that photos were involved.

This girl did not get the Justice she and her family  deserve all because she Committed Suicide and now the Guy gets to walk free and he is a dangerous to others and he may do it again to another young girl.

God be with her and her Family as they deal with this.
