Question by P J: What can I do to Help an abused friend who lives far away?
My friend is 13 years old and she lives in what i believe to be an abusive household.

Her brother is 18 and stays in the house and frequently drinks alcohol and uses marijuana as does her father. She doesn’t go into detail but I’m fairly certain they both hurt her physically. Her mother passed away during childbirth and she has no other relatives besides a uncle she refuses to speak about, but from what i can gather, is worse than her father.

She doesn’t go to school and instead her father “home-schools” her, though she says he doesn’t actually do anything and she says no one from the local school district has gone to check on her in years. On that, I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory for home schooled children to have evaluations. She stays home and plays online games and watches TV all day, which i know isn’t technically abusive but she’s not getting an education and I’m worried about what she’ll do after she turns 18.

Question by lpv: What to do when your spose is and Alcoholic?
I’ve being married for 16 years and my husband drinking got worse. He drinks every night to the point that he doesn’t remember our conversation next day, lies about his drinking, hides the bottles that he is drinking, every conversation turns into a argument, bad influence for my son, I do not feel safe with him…etc. I tried everything to help him: assisted to AA meetings, read Alanon books, asked his family for help, went to the psychologist, prayed, asked people to pray for my relationship, talked to him, keep that house free of possible alcohol temptations, cried, beg him to stop, explained what his drinking is doing to our family, called the police asked to help me and do an drinking test…the police couldn’t help because drinking at home is not a crime, unless he is disturbing the community.
I’ve learned that smoking pot is a crime and they can show up at home and do something… but drinking is not a crime. And that is my point of my request, in reality SPOUSE THAT DRINK TOO MUCH AT HOME ARE DISTROYING THEIR FAMILY is like killing in a passive way.
I know if you are in this situation, you feel like me.
I want to bring this matter to the authorities for their support. “Alcoholic parent living with their children should be a persecuted as drug abuse do”
If you agree with me please respond with a “Yes”

Question by Jack H: Are there any skeletons in Leicestershire Police cupboards, what do you think?
A Post copied from another forum………

If the British media want to slur the Portuguese authorities, perhaps they might want to look closer to home first.

20 December 2006, the BBC reports “Police officers in the East Midlands were convicted of criminal offences over four years on an average of nearly one a month, the BBC has learned. Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that 45 officers received convictions for 70 crimes from November 2002 to November 2006. Hundreds of others were fined for speeding or parking illegally. Supt Heather Long of Lincolnshire Police said officers who committed crimes were dealt with robustly. The figures from Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire show that 28 sexual offences, eight of driving after taking alcohol or drugs and five physical assaults were committed by police officers.

Bored, unsupervised children without a developed sense of imagination. Having no choice they follow others down a path of ridiculously obvious pitfalls. Also television and movies make this pathetic option for a life style seem entertaining and financially lucrative. How deceptive the entertainment media is!
