MOSCOW -- Reports that two young Chechens were suspects in the deadly explosions this week in Boston were met Friday with anger, denial and surprise by their father and officials from Chechnya and the neighboring Dagestan in southern Russia. Anzor Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen and the father of suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, refused to believe his sons had anything to do with the terror attack.

My granddaughter's cousin, 8 years old, on her dad's side basically drowned today. She is still alive, but we don't know what the outcome will be and what damage has been done. We don't have all of the info, but she was either not seen for 20 minutes before they found her in the water or she was in the water for 20 minutes. She is at a local teaching hospital, so if she has any chance at all of making it, she is in a good place. She was in a natural spring, so hopefull ...

Do you think people use the anonymity of hiding behind the computer screen as an excuse to get away with bullying others?

I know there have been cases on FB and other such sites where teens have been bullied to the point of suicide which is horrible. Do you think adult bullying can have a similar affect if the person they are bullying is already hav ...

Does Anyone Do Their Shopping Online?Feb 17, 2013

Anyone Do Online 'virtual' SchoolJan 21, 2010
I'm considering doing the virtual school for my son next schoolyear, which will be his 6th grade year. He's struggling this year in 5th grade and I'm worried that he might not be ready for middle school in August. In my state, GA, we have an online public school that sounds very good. I'm just wondering if anyone, from any state, has any experience with this and what your thoughts are on this type of education. I'd love to put him in a private school (I think) but right ...

They searched his room, found bottles of xanax, hydrocodone, vicodin, valium and such.  His dad checked the computer and found an account with one of those Canadian and Mexican "pharmacies".  He is in t ...
