Since I am home in between missions for a couple of days I polled the
group (deleting some 20,000 posts to get caught up; sorry) and thought
I'd ask a survey question.

school system gifted program, works hard at his job and has never
gotten into any trouble.  I've been allowing him to do some things with
his friends and trusted him not to make any wrong decisions.  I know

This newsgroup has become mostly a gender-bashing place of hate lately.

years prior to that, I agreed and moved out. I was scared, as I was

I just found out that my ex took my son to live 800km away frommaking my
visitation and access next to impossible. I've spent over 25k on legal fees
only to have the only thing in my life that I love more than life itself, my
son, taken from me. I gave her custody last November in ...

A couple sought a restraining order against a guy who was busted for pot and

The guy shot and killed the couple.  Their five-year-old called the police,
