Love is TiVo

Sweet lord! My kids have figured out how to pause TiVo and it is the end of the world as we know it. They are allowed to watch a couple of shows in the morning ( and more then that when Daddy's away so mommy can rest in bed!) and now they pause the television to go and eat breakfast.
Even my four year old children know that eating a yogurt in the kitchen will ruin the ending of Little Einsteins or Sesame Street! Like, duh?!


Overheard today:
R: Mom do you ever say "fucking shit?"
Me: "Um......what? Um. Uuuumm. Don't say that!"
In my head: Fucking shit!!!!!!!!!

Keeping My Kids Safe

This story infuriates me. If you are not in the mood to read the article I will sum it up for you. A 45 man, Jack McClellan is a self described pedophile but says he has only hugged underage children in a non-sexual way, has various web sites and been posting nonsexual pictures of children intended to promote the acceptance of pedophiles, and to direct other pedophiles to events and places where children tended to gather. He was run out of Washington State (where he lived with his parents) after the press got hold of him and now has moved to California where there are a lot of amusement parks and fairs.

The thing that kills me is that so far this man has done nothing wrong. They cannot arrest him for posting links to where children will be. While posting pictures of children in sexual situations is a felony, posting them fully clothed in everyday situations is not. Although he says he has never done anything illegal, what we know about pedophiles and the fact most of them cannot be treated and continue to molest children, leads one to believe that he has molested children for years.

Knowing his name, where he lives and what he looks like is a step but what if you read his site where he talked about a little girl he liked, knowing it was your daughter he was talking about? How do you protect children from someone who is free to live where he wants?
What do you think should be done about men like this?
