Florida Abduction case
The body of the 11-year-old girl whose abduction was caught on videotape was recovered early Friday. CLICK HERE

A report on the Today Show Friday morning revealed that even kids who are taught not to approach strangers can be lured near a car. Even if you've taught your children and grandchildren how to keep themselves safe, please do it again. (And again and again.)

More Bad News in Florida
In addition to the abduction case, the body of a 14-year-old student who had been stabbed was found in a Florida middle school bathroom last week. (CLICK HERE) If that wasn't bad enough news, a 10-year-old Florida girl was raped by two boys in her elementary school bathroom. CLICK HERE The age of the principal attacker, a 12-year-old boy, and the victim, 10, may seem extraordinary to many. In fact, the average victim of child sexual assault is a 9-year-old girl, and the average attacker is a boy just under 13. In many ways, this is quite a typical case of non-pedophile child sexual assault.

In other news…
The Bush Administration is claiming substantial progress in its ongoing war against the international sexual slavery trade of both women and children, including the recent sentencing of the leader of a Texas sex-slave ring to 23 years in federal prison. CLICK HERE Some Administration critics argue that while the Administration has been aggressively pursuing the activity within our borders, we have not yet brought enough pressure on the rest of world to end this trade.

The Big Brothers and Big Sisters insurance crisis (see CLICK HERE, story 10) may now be leading the group to shut down some chapters rather than stop pairing gay mentors with same-sex children. CLICK HERE

Finally, the Los Angeles Times reports that a psychologist warned officials last summer that he believed a 12-year-old boy he was treating had been molested Michael Jackson. CLICK HERE
