A mother who left her 3-month-old baby to die while she had sex with a man sentenced to 18 months in prison

Posted: 12 Aug 2015 12:52 PM PDT

Yvonne Adkins, 32, left her sickly 3-month-old baby, Chantelle lying in a baby rocker and went to indulge in a nine-hour sex romp with a man she met at a bus stop. She awoke the next morning to find her baby dead in her rocker with no blanket or bed clothes.

Adkins who pleaded guilty to child cruelty was given 18 months in prison, suspended for two years.

Judge David Fletcher who presided over the case said;
"Your desire to engage in some sexual activity with someone you hardly knew resulted in you leaving your child downstairs when you knew it was not appropriate to do that. You made a catastrophic decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life."

Despite this, he still wanted an upgraded Ferrari.
 The 20-year-old says he was advised by a car dealer to commit insurance fraud. He hatched a plan with friends to set fire to his car, but to cover his tracks decided to do so over the border in southern Germany.
So while he visited a massage parlour -the friends stole the supercar but security camera quickly picked up those responsible for the theft who cinfested to the conspiration.

He was sentenced to 22 months' probation and fined some £20,000.

Jaelyn Delshaun Young, 19, and Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla, 22, were arrested on August 8 at Golden Triangle Regional Airport near Columbus, Mississippi. Both are charged with attempting and conspiring to provide material support to the terrorist group, ISIS.

According to news reports, a hearing on their detention began on Monday August 10th in Oxford. Young and Dakhlalla, both U.S. citizens confessed their plans to FBI agents after their arrest.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner likened them to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, saying, "They don't need a gun to do harm. They don't need military training to do harm. What they need is a violent, extremist ideology, and that's exactly what they have espoused."

According to the government, FBI agents began interacting online with them in May about her desire to travel to Syria to join the group. In the course of the interaction, the couple revealed their plan to conduct a "nikkah,(Islamic marriage) so they could travel without a chaperone under Islamic law.

The FBI said Dakhlalla and Young both expressed impatience over getting passports. Dakhlalla even paid $340 to expedite passport processing. The couple also revealed their plan to work as a medic and in internet media for the Islamic State respectively.

Babies Making Babies - By Charly Boy

Posted: 12 Aug 2015 10:16 AM PDT

Article written by Charly Boy. Read below..
There is a growing trend amongst teenagers now, more for those living in the villages than in the cities. Babies are making babies. Statistically, teenage pregnancy has been on a rapid increase globally so it's not just a demographic issue anymore. 
Modernisation sure is a factor, young people these days are not as naive as they use to be in the 50s, 60s or 70s. The social media, the playground of all young people have become a major challenge.

The unstable economy, instability in the polity, the crazy level of unemployment, have all contributed to the rising statistic of teenage pregnancy. In all of this, parents are at the centre of it all, parents scratching to make a Living and trying to stay afloat, making little or no time for the child. Parents whose priorities have changed, who leaves the nurturing of the child to the house helps and parents who are too old school to make their children their friends. In the 60s even a good labourer or mechanic who had a small family unit had better quality time with his children coz the environment then was more stable before the chaotic playground called the Internet.

It is a shame that our culture does not really encourage children to be friends with their parents so sex is never discussed. The child is left to figure out sex education from his/ her peers. Parents are usually too bashful or far too shy to discuss sex with their children. Most parents apart from totally avoiding the subject, see it as a no go area, expecting the child to remain innocent till he/she gets married. Hummmmm really. It is clear that there is a lot parents and their teenage child can do to reduce teenage pregnancy. However, statistics has also proven that most teenage pregnancy, are from children born out of wedlock or to single parents.

The most important thing a parent/parents can do to prevent teen pregnancy is to be involved in their teen's lives. Make time for your teen, talk to them like you would to a friend. Be friends with your child, we make a gross mistake in thinking that teenagers are to young to grasp the meaning and intricacies of life, how very old school that mentality projects. You must get interested in whatever your teen is interested in and if they have no interests, help them find some! So many parents don't want to face this reality but unfortunately nowadays, children are having sex earlier than they used to. It should not come as a shock to you that the average 13year old child may already be experimenting. There is no proper way to have this kind of sex education discussion with your child than to just have it! If a parent builds and cultivates a good and open relationship with their child, it will make this kind of conversation easy. Teenagers who openly communicate with their parents are less likely to become teenage parents.             
Once a child knows and feel that they can come to you with anything, believe me, they will tell you everything and you may probably end up their best friend. Am talking from the strength of my experience with my own children. Teens want to know the facts so they can make a choice. Part of these facts include the your value or the family value. You can most help your teen by giving him/her the facts on sex, teenage pregnancy and relationships by sharing your values and expectations.

I am blessed that my children come to me as a friend before a father. Sometimes visitors to the PunkPalace are more or less inspired by my relationship with my kids. I use to be afraid of my late father many moons ago, till the day he told me how proud he was of me, since then we became very close friends. You may ask, at what age do we start to initiate this kind of discussion with our children. I would say, even as early as 8 or 10, as soon as you see your child getting more interested in their body parts, know that the time has come. How to initiate the topic? There is no other way but in your own style and language talk the talk. Don't let outsiders do that for you.

UN troops probed for the rape of 12yr old girl & killing of a 16yr old boy in Central African Republic

Posted: 12 Aug 2015 09:58 AM PDT

According to France's Defence Ministry, the alleged abuse and killings took place between Dec 2013 & June 2014 at a centre for displaced people at M'Poko airport in the capital Bangul. The UN mission in the Central African Republic on Tuesday, August 11th launched a probe into the allegations.



The probe was opened following allegations made by London-based rights watchdog Amnesty International, which said the alleged incidents took place on August 2 and 3 as Rwandan and Cameroonian peacekeepers were conducting an operation in the capital, Bangui.
 
In an initial response, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was "dismayed and disappointed" by the latest claims of sexual abuse by peacekeepers, his spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York.
 
"Our evidence strongly suggests that a UN peacekeeper raped a young girl and that other UN peacekeepers indiscriminately killed two civilians," said Joanne Mariner, Senior Crisis Response Adviser at Amnesty International.
 
The UN mission, known by its French acronym of MINUSCA, said through its spokesman Hamadoun Toure that it was "not aware" of the allegations but was taking the matter "very seriously."
 
"We have opened a probe," Toure told AFP, saying the mission would seek "established and verifiable proof."
Dujarric said the UN chief was taking the situation "very seriously" and was expected to issue a formal statement.
     "No misconduct of this nature can be tolerated," he told reporters. "This is clearly not only not normal, it is not acceptable. The secretary general is considering the situation very seriously."

The two alleged incidents took place during an operation to arrest a former rebel chief in the Muslim PK5 district of the capital on August 2 and 3 in which five people were killed, including a Cameroonian peacekeeper.Dozens of people were also injured.
 
Amnesty said it had interviewed 15 witnesses immediately after both incidents, as well as the girl and members of her family.
A nurse who examined the girl found medical evidence consistent with sexual assault.
"The girl had been hiding in a bathroom during a house search at approximately 2:00 am on August 2. A man allegedly wearing the blue helmet and vest of the UN peacekeeping forces took her outside and raped her behind a truck," a statement said.
 
"When I cried, he slapped me hard and put his hand over my mouth," she told Amnesty.
The search followed earlier deadly clashes in the area.
UN peacekeeping forces returned there the following day. Witnesses told Amnesty they were not under any threat but began shooting indiscriminately.
 
Amnesty said the soldiers killed Balla Hadji, 61, and his 16-year-old son Souleimane. Balla was apparently shot in the back, while his son was shot in the chest.
 
A neighbour who witnessed the killings said the soldiers appeared to "shoot at anything that moved."
Hadji's family said the UN troops did not help them to transport the wounded man and boy to hospital. Rather than provide assistance, witnesses said, the peacekeepers fired another round when the daughter tried to cross the street to reach her injured relatives.
 
The UN mission in the poor restive country has been under a cloud after claims that it dragged its feet following allegations that more than a dozen French soldiers dispatched to restore order after a 2013 coup sexually abused children in exchange for food.

Efritin.com focuses on safety as it launches into the Nigerian market

Posted: 12 Aug 2015 09:29 AM PDT

Efritin.com an online classifieds platform recently launched at the Protea Hotel Ikeja into the Nigerian market with a focus on providing a safer platform for its customers. Efritin provides an online marketplace for buyers and sellers to exchange their items.

The platform does not specify in any particular category – you can buy and sell items in more than 50 different categories. Efritin aims to disrupt how classifieds are done in Nigeria by addressing a key issue of trust.


They physically verify all sellers on their platform within 48hours of posting an advert on the platform before the advert goes live. The verification is a one-time process and the ads go live within 4 hours after verification.

Also they have taken into consideration the stress and traffic level for moving from one location to the other and has gone a step further to provide convenience for their customers by offering a delivery service for buyers and sellers who have agreed on a transaction.

The Efritin Delivery services have started operations and are delivering items under 3kg within Lagos.


According to Mr. Babak Tighnavard, Chief Operating Officer Saltside Technologies, 'Efritin.com was built by Saltside Technologies who build leading online marketplaces in underserved markets to create sustainable value for the community. Saltside Technologies started in 2011 with just 4 employees but in 2015 they are now 500 employees in Bangladesh, Ghana, Sri Lanka and now Nigeria. Their success story in each market has been hinged on doing things locally and employing quality staff for the job. Thus they are offering an online marketplace in Nigeria for all used items with full focus on Security."

Mr. Zakaria Hersi informed that part of their success story of doing things locally in each market gave rise to the name 'Efritin.com' meaning 'Everything' in pidgin language. He further said that Efritin is focused on providing a safer platform for buyers and sellers to meet and exchange their items. Efritin focuses on used items because of the trading culture of Nigerians, the high volume of offline marketplaces and the large economy around unused goods.
The tenacious and growing team is poised to make Efritin.com the number 1 classified site in Nigeria.
