PA - Man leaves kids, 6 and 9 for 45 minutes at park. Gets arrested, CPS involved as well.


SBI ana*lysts, in lock*step with police and pros*e*cu*tors, seek con*vic*tions — often at the expense of sci*en*tific truth.

At the State Bureau of Investigation, most foren*sic sci*en*tists are cops. So are their bosses. Their bosses’ bosses are pros*e*cu*tors, the chain stop*ping at Attorney General Roy Cooper, the state’s top lawyer.

This arrange*ment often forces ana*lysts to become advo*cates, in lock*step with police and pros*e*cu*tors, shap*ing evi*dence needed to deliver a conviction....

The work of the SBI crime lab has been under fire since February, when Greg Taylor, an inno*cent man, was freed after judges learned an SBI serol*o*gist with*held cru*cial evi*dence that proved a stain on Taylor’s SUV wasn’t blood.

Problems at the lab run deeper than blood. State law puts sci*en*tists at the lab on the prosecution’s team, instead of assign*ing them as inde*pen*dent seek*ers of fact. Analysts some*times don’t run DNA or blood tests that might threaten pros*e*cu*tors’ the*o*ries. And they shield them*selves from scrutiny, fight*ing against turn*ing over records and for*bid*ding defense experts to observe their work.
 
ah, yes...excuse me-in my hurry I neglected to ask the correct question. I was referring to your claim that I was wrong when I said "I'm pretty sure Charlie Manson is relatively harmless by now too". The fact that he has a fan club is irrelevant. I'm well aware of the fan club-and that he's been getting fan mail in prison for years.

I never claimed that at all, I think you are confusing me with another poster. I see no evidence that Charlie Manson is harmless, do you? You are aware that there have been atrocious murders done by 70+ year olds? Obviously parole board after parole board has looked at the evidence and decided that Charlie Manson is NOT harmless, therefor they denied him parole. Are you privy to information the parole board doesn't have, that makes you think Charlie Manson is now harmless?

Charlie Manson is locked up and kept under a watchful eye. It is the appearance the system looks like works--i.e.; up for parole. The only reason it makes news is to keep the constant fear narrative alive and well. He will never be paroled.
 
When we were kids at age 9-10(not 6), we played over at the school all day til 8-9pm in the summer. We didn't live too far from their. An hour in a sketchy(?) park during the day may not be a smart idea but it's not take your kids away material. Rather it should be a "use your head!" scolding from someone at the most. Or if continued a lot then perhaps I could see some sort of fine if it's pretty late.(town curfews)

I figure that what happened here is that the adults that saw the kids got upset that they were suddenly given this burden of watching over these stranger's kids -- even though they took the supposed "burden" upon themselves. They got mad about that and that is why they reported it all and the cops and cps all got invoved.

When what they should have done is tell the man to pull his head out of his ass instead of calling the police. I probably would have just told the guy that I almost called the police and they might have brought cps. Then the guy would probably think a little clearer, next time.

I am of the mind what goes around comes around. To be spiteful like that serves no purpose and destroys other lives in the process.

Well I sure hope so. But you know what I'm saying, there are plenty of those people around.
