The Rev. Ken Adkins listens in September as Assistant District Attorney Katie Gropper tells Glynn County Chief Magistrate Timothy Barton that Adkins should be bound over for possible indictment by a county grand jury on child molestation charges. (Terry Dickson/Florida Times-Union) BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- Kenneth Adkins sits in jail and ticks off the hours ... days ... dreaming about reinventing himself. Perhaps he'll go to work and advocate for coeds who attend historically black colleges in the Atlanta area, or so he said on Day 216 behind bars. Or perhaps there'll be a national appetite for an "Apprentice"-type reality TV...

Fellow Freepers, I respectfully request your prayers for my husband's custody court appearance tomorrow. He is fighting for the sanity and well-being of his children who are currently suffering under primary custody of a mentally ill mother. Please pray the judge see through her deception and stops her games and manipulation that's literally driving the children insane; that the Lord rescues these helpless young children through the judge, that he makes the right and healthy decision for these innocents; that the Holy Spirit continue to provide strength and wisdom for Dad who's suffered years of physical and emotional abuse; bind...

Seven percent of Catholic priests were accused of abusing children in Australia between 1950 and 2010 but the allegations were never investigated, "shocking and indefensible" data showed on Monday during an inquiry into paedophilia in the church. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard that 4,444 alleged incidents of paedophilia were reported to church authorities and in some dioceses, more than 15% of priests were perpetrators. Australia ordered the Royal Commission in 2012 after a decade of growing pressure to investigate allegations of child abuse across the country, with the inquiry now in its final phase...

In a written statement, FBI spokesperson Staci Feger-Pellessie said Santiago's child was not left inside the car when Santiago came to the FBI's Anchorage office. "The child was in constant custody and care of the FBI, inside our facility, until his mother retrieved him," Feger-Pellessie said. ORIGINAL STORY: Two months before Esteban Santiago allegedly went on a deadly shooting rampage in Florida, he surrendered a gun to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Alaska and told investigators he was "having terroristic thoughts,"...

A Swedish judge has refused a prosecutor’s request to deport five Afghan teenagers who forced a younger boy into a wood and then gang-raped and beat him at knife-point. “Given their age and the security situation in Afghanistan, they would be hit very hard by the expulsion,” the judge said in his ruling.

Jay Maynor, 43, of Cullman, Alabama, took the lengthy prison time as part of plea deal so Julia, 24, didn’t have to testify in court.

Hillary and her posse support and enable child trafficking. This is not a joke.

Child Trafficking Ring Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation could very well be connected to a known child abduction ring!

A Syrian child refugee with “Jewish heritage” has arrived at the UK Visas and Immigration office in Croydon, along with other unaccompanied children fleeing the war-torn region.

A 2-year-old girl in a car seat was shot Saturday, police said, after a man riding a motor scooter misfired in an attempt to hit her father as he stood outside of the vehicle on a Roxbury street. And for the fourth time in 10 days, Roxbury residents watched as police searched for clues in another shooting in their neighborhood. The girl, who was shot in the hand and leg and is expected to survive, was the second child among those victims, after a 9-year-old was injured last Sunday.

GLASGOW, Mont. -- An eastern Montana man has been given a 30-year suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to raping his 12-year-old daughter last year. District Judge John McKeon sentenced the man to 60 days in jail for incest, giving him credit for 17 already served, the Glasgow Courier reported. The man also was ordered to complete community-based sex-offender treatment and register as a sex offender. The Associated Press is not naming the man to avoid identifying the victim of a sexual assault. Deputy Valley County Attorney Dylan Jensen recommended a 100-year prison sentence with 75 years suspended - as...

I am about to lose my mind here tonight from about the innacqurate references to Kathy Shelton as being one of 4 women who was abused by Bill. She was NEVER abused by Bill. All of Kathy's abuse with regards to the Clintons came solely from Hillary. This is NOT nit picky stuff either. This woman was raped at 12 and was in a coma for 5 days and Hillary defended her attacker even though she admittedly knew he was guilty. But it gets worse from there. She besmirched a 12 year old rape victim, suppressed evidence and then years...

(I posted this in Chat, let me know if incorectly done) It just dawned on me that pregnant women receive no child support, and that the democrat stance on abortion with Planned Parenthood is a language obstructing that. A Compassionate Conservative like Pence should make the case

“Every now and then, in the middle of the constant barrage of crap that’s just pissing us all off these days, we come across a story, a feat, an event that just makes us stop in our tracks. This was one for me. “Cody Green was a 12-year kid in Indiana who was diagnosed with leukemia at 22 months old. He loved the Marines, and his parents said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps as ... he bravely fought the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time, the chemotherapy had lowered his...

A 10-year-old Albuquerque girl was brutally slain in her family’s Northwest Albuquerque apartment early Wednesday, hours before she was to celebrate her birthday at a party complete with manicures and cake. Late Wednesday night, Albuquerque police released horrific details of the crime allegedly perpetrated by the girl’s mother, her boyfriend and another woman.

A Syrian opposition group whose members beheaded a child captive near Aleppo on Tuesday had been part of a US-vetted alliance and been supplied with anti-tank missiles until a year ago. Images of the killing are widely seen as among the most shocking of the war and continued to receive condemnation, with Amnesty International describing the killing as having “truly plumbed the depths of depravity”. A US State Department spokesman described reports of the killing as “appalling” and said proof that the killers were linked to the group, known as Nour al-din al-Zenki, would lead to any further backing being...
