02 September 2010
Father and five month old Son are staying with relatives in Florida. Father falls asleep with Son lying on a queen-sized bed. When Father awakens, Son is face-down at the edge of the bed, stuck against a dresser. Son isn’t breathing. Father administers CPR but is unable to revive Son. Father yells for help and Aunt calls 911. Paramedics are also unable to revive Son. Father is very distraught and police Baker Act him (that is, take him into protective custody for psychiatric evaluation). Medical examiners call Son’s death a homicide due to presence of extensive injuries, including broken ribs, ruptured bowel and internal bleeding. Police eventually arrest Father for first degree murder and aggravated child abuse. At his trial, Father maintains that Son’s ribs were broken in a fall weeks before Son’s death. Father reasons that the other injuries resulted from his failed CPR efforts. Jury acquits Father on both murder and child abuse charges.

Tattoos aside, what are your back-to-school must-haves?
02 September 2010
What I did over my summer vacation ... Thanks to alert reader, Jen, who sent along this CNN report about kids getting back-to-school teeth whitening, tattoos and $40 haircuts. My kids did a lot of shopping this summer, so aside from their actual school supplies, I was going to get them each a backpack and maybe one other thing. What is the ONE thing you always buy new when the school year starts?

Can you believe it? They’re 2 on Friday.
02 September 2010
Hard to believe they were ever that tiny. Andrew and Matilda turn 2 tomorrow, wrapping up what I’m calling the fastest two years of my life. I thought I’d share an essay I’d originally written for Mother’s Day, but it didn’t end up making it to the paper. Given what their birthday represents for my husband and me — a truly unexpected future — each one feels so special. It’s late, and I’m sneaking into your room to look at the both of you, your cribs bumped together end-to-end like they have been for the last 20 months. You’re sleeping slung over your stuffed animals as always — Matilda curled up on Minnie Mouse and Andrew sprawled out with Blue Kitty secured under one arm and Sasha the Dog tucked under the other. I rest my hand gently on each of your backs, waiting for my palm to rise and fall, guaranteeing your breath. It’s a compulsion mothers have, and I can’t get to sleep without making this spot-check. You’ll understand one day.

Pressure to watch R-rated movies — from school!
02 September 2010
For the past year, my 13-year-old son has been begging to watch R-rated movies. No way, no how I tell him — repeatedly. It started with a certain movie “all his friends” were watching last summer. My constant refusal has not weakened his pleas. Over the summer, he called me, frantic, because his friends were at one boy’s house watching an R-rated movie and he HAD to be there. Nope, I told him. I even trotted out the old chestnut, “If all your friends were jumping off a bridge, would you do that, too?” He was not amused. But my steadfast resolve against R-rates movies was tested this week … by his middle school! He came home with a form from his history class, needing my approval to watch certain R-rated movies, including The Patriot . The note said the school would “do its best” to edit objectionable parts, but I don’t really have too much hope of that happening. I weakened and I broke. I signed the form. But outside of school, the rule still stands: no R-rated movies!
