Jailing kids for cash

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Pa. high court tosses ‘kids for cash’ convictions Jailing kids for cash? Judges in Pa. are charged with imprisoning minors unlawfully.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed thousands of juvenile convictions issued by a judge charged in a corruption scandal, saying that none of the young offenders got a fair hearing.
The high court on Thursday threw out more than five years' worth of juvenile cases heard by former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella, who is charged with accepting millions of dollars in kickbacks to send youths to private detention centers.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

If you delve more into the Child Protective Services scam, you will become outraged. State CPS agencies are paid by the federal government per child seized. It comes to about $400,000 in federal money that CPS gets for placing a child in a foster home. That means if CPS hasn't met their "quota" for the funding they receive, they had better go round up some more children or their funding will be cut next year.

Fact: children are five times as likely to be sexually abused in foster care than they are at home with their parents.

They covered this in Capitalism: A Love Story. Absolutely disgusting. Although, I'll admit when I first heard about it, I didn't find it too surprising since I've lived through and seen so much crap happen in this country.
Riches are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind.

That is true as well. But that doesn't invalidate the truth in what I said either.

Quite a bit more than average if they are blond and blue-eyed, actually.
