Poor baby. Man Abandons Baby At Gas Station He wrapped the innocent baby up in newspaper and threw her away like garbage. How cruel. According to My Fox Orlando: The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident in which a newborn was found abandoned at a DeBary, Fla., gas station. The baby girl was discovered unclothed and wrapped in newspaper at the front door of the DeBary Food Mart on South Charles R. Beall Blvd. A man who was in the area said he heard the baby’s cries, then picked her up and found a towel to wrap her in before flagging down a newspaper deliveryman who called 911 around 2:22 a.m. The man who first found the baby has now been identified as Ralph Garlick, Jr. and has been arrested on charges of knowingly giving false information to law enforcement during an investigation. Police say that although Garlick is not the father, the baby belongs to his girlfriend. She gave birth to the baby early Monday morning at an apartment complex in Orange City. Garlick said that he was trying to bring the baby to a safe location because his girlfriend didn’t want to keep it. The mother has been located and is currently at a hospital being examined. Charges may be filed against her as well. When deputies arrived at the scene this morning the newborn had the umbilical cord still attached. The cord appeared to have been tied off with a shoe string. Garlick initially identified himself to deputies as Charles Garlick, using the name of his dead brother. After questioning by Sheriff’s investigators, Garlick admitted lying to deputies about his name and the circumstances of Monday morning’s incident. The baby was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando and doctors say the baby appears to be in good condition. Thank God the baby survived. Volusia County Sheriff’s Office
It doesn’t even seem like it’s been a year since this terrible tragedy ! Via Mediaite reports : On Saturday, President Barack Obama devoted his weekly address to the nation to remember the massacre of children and school teachers in Newtown, Connecticut, one year ago today. Obama said that the nation “must do more” to prevent future tragedies like what occurred at Newtown. “These tragedies must end,” the president insisted. “More than the tragedy itself, that’s how Newtown will be remembered,” Obama said in his weekly address. “And on this anniversary of a day we will never forget, that’s the example we should continue to follow,” he continued, “because we haven’t yet done enough to make our communities and our country safer.” “We have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. We have to do more to heal troubled minds. We have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, and valued, and cared for.” “Beneath the sadness, we also felt a sense of resolve – that these tragedies must end, and that to end them, we must change,” Obama concluded. Watch the president’s address below via The White House:
Is Beyonce lookin’ like a THOT who is too hot for tots? Are The Visuals To Beyonce’s New Album Inappropriate For Her Younger Fans? Via News SHE released her latest album by uploading tracks and videos straight to iTunes, claiming she wants to speak ‘directly to her fans with no filter’. And it seems that Beyonce has got her wish. Within hours, hundreds of fans slammed the star’s record for its X-rated lyrics and ‘pornographic’ videos in which she twerks and dresses scantily. On social networking sites, the 32-year-old singer was called ‘vile’ and ‘disgusting’ for the provocative tracks, including songs titled Blow and Drunk in Love. Some users questioned whether she was a fit role model to millions of young fans. The star, who rose to fame in girl band Destiny’s Child, has often campaigned for women’s rights. But fans said she should now be ashamed of herself for following in the footsteps of Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, who have shocked viewers with their erotic music videos. The parent and family morality groups are out in full effect protesting King Bey’s twerkin’ and jerkin’ Vivienne Pattison, of pressure group Mediawatch-UK, said last night: “This is such a shame to see because Beyonce didn’t get to where she is by jumping on the same bandwagon as Rihanna and people like that who we expect to be explicit and controversial. “She was the one we always thought we could count on to set a good example and keep producing music with powerful messages that empowered women and girls. “And I would have thought that a star of her magnitude wouldn’t need to do something like this. “She has sold out and it’s really sad. Like it or not Beyonce is a role model and she needs to take responsibility for that. Especially as a mother herself, it’s very surprising that she would do this. She added: “This is now on YouTube and children can see it. “It’s not like parents can protect their children by not buying the album. It’s there, on the internet, for anyone to access and as a parent that is incredibly worrying.” Do you think Bey “pushed the envelope” in the trash can? Are her new videos going to corrupt our children’s purity?
33-Year-Old Tutor For Wealthy Families Makes $1,250 An Hour Dayyyyuuuuummmmmmm, this tutor makes $400K a year AND gets free housing, cars/drivers, meals and free travel! According to NBC News: He looks and sounds like many other young, highly qualified teachers. Nathaniel Hannan, a 33-year-old Indiana native, went to Notre Dame and got his masters at Oxford in philosophy and geology before becoming a high school teacher in Washington, D.C. He loves to teach and has a gift for communicating. But today, instead of working for a school, Hannan tutors the children of wealthy families. And he makes up to $1,250 an hour. “It’s different clients, but the same business,” he said. Actually, it’s a different business entirely—and it’s growing rapidly. While much of the American education system is struggling with tight budgets, overcrowded classrooms and low teacher pay, the tutor economy is booming. More of the world’s millionaires and billionaires are seeking at-home teachers to give their children a leg up in the increasingly competitive and important education race. And, as the number of rich people grows around the world—and as more of them split their time between multiple homes in different countries—they are creating their own mobile, ultra-private schools in their homes. Tutors International, a London-based tutor agency that hires and places many tutors in the U.S., said its business this year will nearly double over last year. The typical salary for a full-time tutor today has jumped to between $70,000 and $120,000 depending on the requirements. But Tutors International has placed one tutor who is making $400,000 a year and another who was paid $80,000 for just 16 weeks of work. Along with their pay, most tutors also usually get free housing, cars or drivers, paid travel and meals, and occasionally even a private chef and personal assistant. “For these families, they look at the costs of just fueling their jet or buying a new sports car, and spending $100,000 or more for a tutor is not a great expense,” said Adam Caller, the founder of Tutors International and a former tutor and teacher himself. “They know education is important.” Caller said his clients fall into three basic categories. First, there are rich families who want to supplement their children’s schooling with added subjects and help them with homework. Second, there are families who have children with special needs, where home schooling is more effective. Many of his clients, however, fall into the third category: rich families that travel between multiple homes around the world and don’t want to be tied to one location because of their children’s school. Some of these families are also so rich and famous that their children would be mobbed at a regular school. “They may be based in New York, have a boat in France and a house in Mexico and in South Africa, and they want to use them all,” Caller said. “With home schooling and a tutor, they can travel wherever they want and still get to be with their children.” Caller said the tutor he placed for $400,000 a year was for a rich family on the West Coast. The student was having trouble with school and with substance abuse, so the tutor had to home-school the student and coach the student and his family through rehab. Since Tutors International employs its tutors—rather than placing them for employment by the families—the company monitors performance and receives constant feedback and performance reports from both the families and the tutors. “We don’t take our fee and walk away,” Knight said. “We have an interest in everybody being happy along the way.” Wow. Thinking about changing professions now??? CNBC

Dear Bossip , I need some advice. I am a 25-year old woman and I’ve been in a relationship with a 38-year old man for a year and a half. We currently live together, and are very much in love and plan on getting married. We have both been married and divorced once before. His union produced a 15-year old boy and a 10-year old girl. I have no children and found out two years ago that due to complications from an abortion I had in my teens, I am unable to get pregnant. I was heartbroken when I found this out. I had always wanted to be a mother and to find out that I aborted my only child devastated me. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t regret my decision. It literally haunts me. When I met my boyfriend, he expressed to me that he is done having children and is positive he doesn’t want anymore. I was okay with that at the time because I thought I had come to terms with not being able to have kids and figured him not wanting any would make it easier for me to deal with. Fast forward to the present, I have since met his two kids and get along with them well. I thought that meeting his kids and forming a relationship with them would help fill the void of not having my own child, but I was wrong. There are days I fantasize about finding a man with no kids or one who wants more and trying to have a child (because I truly believe that medicine only goes so far and then there’s God), or possibly adopting. But, I am torn because the man I’m with is wonderful. He is loving, supportive, hard-working, a great dad and an awesome provider. He is truly one of the “good black men.” He treats me like a queen. But, he is not budging on the kid thing and I can’t blame him. My mother tells me that if he truly loves me, he will allow me the chance to be a mom, but I don’t agree. Thirty-eight is, in my opinion, a little old to be starting over with a newborn and he’s “been there done that,” so I don’t think his level of love for me has anything to do with it. So, my struggle is: Do I leave my awesome man and wonderful relationship to search for a man interested in having kids or perhaps be single and adopt on my own? I love this man with all my heart, but this void that I feel and this urge to be a mother is almost overwhelming at times. But, then there is the fear that even if I do meet a man willing to have children or adopt, he won’t measure up to what I have with my current man and then that will be a new regret. I am truly torn! – Between A Child or My Man Dear Ms. Between A Child or My Man , I’m truly sorry to hear about your early life choice in which it prevents you from having children. I’m sure that is devastating to experience, and especially since you’re now having the urge and desire to have your own child. And, I’m not a woman, so I don’t even purport to know what it’s like to desire and want a child, and have that biological clock ticking. But, from what I hear and experience in knowing many women and their conversations around children, then I would strongly suspect that having a child is more important than having a man. Again, that’s been my experience. So, what I recommend is that you have a sit down with your man. You two should have a long and serious conversation about children, your desire to adopt or at least try to have a child, and if he is willing to at least consider the idea. However, considering that he has made it clear that he is not interested in anymore children, I’m betting that he is not interested in having any more children, especially at 38-years of age. Like you mentioned, he’s been there and done that. I know of many married men, and men in relationships who have had children in their thirties and have said that they regret it. I’ve heard them complain about how they wished they would have done it sooner rather than later. Many of them already had teenage children, so having a baby was something they did not want or plan on doing. And, don’t get me wrong, they did love their newborn babies, but they had a lot of resentment and regret. But, on the other hand, there are some men who didn’t mind, and they were completely happy. The point I’m making is, if you want your relationship to grow, to build, and to sustain itself after the newborn comes along, then you need to build a solid foundation from the beginning. You both need to be on the same page, and have the same dreams, desires, and wants. If this is something that he is completely against, and he is not budging, then you may want to consider leaving the relationship, and finding a man who desires and wants to have children. And, there are plenty of men out there who would love to have a house full of children, and relish in the idea of being a father and dad. Now, it’s great that your man is a loving caretaker and provider, and he treats you like a queen. He loves his children, and is hard-working, and one of the “good black men.” But, let’s talk about the “supportive” aspect that you mentioned. You stated that he is supportive, but supportive of what? His dreams and desires? His wants and needs? A man who is supportive will listen to your plans, ideas, hopes, and dreams and will support them. Especially if they are in the best interest of you, and how it builds you, inspires you, and empowers you. So, if you desire to have a child, then he should be open to listening, be willing to consider the options, and how this makes you happy, and fills a desire and need for you. He will let go of his ego and his wants and needs in order that he may support you because he knows that you are unable to have children. So, why deny you of that opportunity or prevent you in having that bond and connection with a child that most women yearn and desire for? If he is not willing to listen, consider, and let go of his ego, then you should consider your relationship, and the future you have with him. You’re a young woman, and it would behoove me to tell you not to have a child, and to get over this idea, especially to have and keep a man. Your instincts to have a child, and to care and nurture another human being of your own is your right. No one can deny you of that opportunity. And, no man is worth it. Besides, who knows what the future holds for you. You could leave the relationship, adopt a beautiful child, and you meet another wonderful, caring, loving, supportive, and hard-working “good black man.” And, he may want to have a house full of children. You never know. So, don’t get stuck in the familiar, and get tunnel-vision. Besides, I’m sure you’ve done a lot of bending and sacrificing, and being supportive of him and his ideas. Why can’t he bend and sacrifice for you? Sometimes many women get into relationships and give up themselves and lose themselves for a man and what he wants. You go with the flow, and then you regret that when it’s time for you to voice your opinion, and ask for support that your man chucks it up, and dismisses you and your dreams, ideas, and hopes. You stay in the relationship because it’s good, he’s good, and it’s just this one thing he won’t budge on. Well, good is great, but how about better? How about great? Ma’am, you don’t want to stay in a relationship and have regrets for the rest of your life wondering what you should of, could of, would of done if you had adopted a child, and left the relationship. Sometimes you have to step out on faith and trust God. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

How can he protect and serve while taking freaky kiddie pics? Cop Charged With Taking Nekkid Pics Of Girl The children can’t even trust the police. According to Dcist: A D.C. police officer was arrested and charged with production of child freaky pics this week. The Metropolitan Police Department became aware of an allegation against Officer Marc Washington that he produced nekkid images of a juvenile on Monday, according to a release. After an investigation, Washington was arrested by the Youth Investigations Division and the Internal Affairs Bureau. “We invest a great amount of time and effort to ensure that we are hiring the right people and we continue to proactively monitor integrity across the department,” Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said in a statement. “But to learn of an allegation of this kind against a person who is sworn to protect our children, it is both shocking and disturbing. We are fortunate that someone came forward to alert us of this behavior to ensure that we prevent future victims.” Update: According to charging documents, uploaded by WUSA9, Washington responded to the apartment of a missing 15-year-old girl on December 1 to take a report from her mother. The victim returned home later that day, and her mother called 911 to take her off the missing persons’ list. Washington then allegedly returned to the home without being called and asked to speak to the victim privately. The officer asked the victim where she was when she was reported missing then asked her to remove her top and bra. When asked why he wanted her to do this, he responded that he needed to take photos of any injuries. The victim explained that she did not have any injuries. The officer allegedly took photos of her breasts and upper body before asking her to show him her hip tattoos for identification purposes. The victim was instructed to pull down her boxer shorts and underwear, and Washington then photographed her “unclothed vajajay area.” After Washington left, the mother and daughter called 911. The officer was searched and a camera was found on his person. Images of the victim had been deleted, according to the charging document, but were recovered by law enforcement. Other images of unidentified women, including two who appear to be minors, were found on the camera. SMH. Shutterstock
Brooke Mueller has declared war on Denise Richards. With the former’s children under the guardianship of her brother , Mueller took the seemingly random and extreme step this week of calling the authorities on Richards and alleging that Charlie Sheen’s first ex-wife has been abusing both Brooke’s twins AND the daughters Denise shares with the actor. According to TMZ insiders, police officers arrived at Richards’ home Tuesday night and questioned her about the allegations. Richards said the claims were “ridiculous” and “vindictive” and that she hasn’t even seen little Bob or Max in weeks. She added that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services was already involved in a dispute between Richards and Mueller, one that began because Mueller had lost custody of her kids due to an ongoing drug issue. In mid-November, this organization met with Mueller and forced her to agree to have her sons tested for fetal alcohol/drug syndrome because Brooke went to rehab twice while pregnant. Richards is especially steamed over this latest accusation because authorities will need to speak with the four-year old twins and with Denise’s daughters in order to verify or debunk Mueller’s claims. That’s a pretty big ordeal to put toddlers through. Mueller hasn’t been in contact with Richards’ kids in awhile, causing one to wonder how she could think they’ve been abused, while Richards had a logical question for the cops at her doorstep: If Mueller was so concerned about her own sons’ safety, and if Richards hasn’t seen them in weeks, why did she wait so long to file a report?
Maybe BeyBey is a baddie after all? According to an interview with the UK Independent: No-one keeps Zahi Hawass, the controversial archaeologist described as Egypt’s Indiana Jones, waiting. Not even Beyoncé. Dr Hawass, Egypt’s former head of antiquities and gatekeeper of the Pyramids, banished Beyoncé from the ancient site after he was sickened by what he described as the star’s rudeness. “Most people I take on tours are very nice and we become friends. But this lady…,” begins Hawass, the former Minister of State for Antiquities, who lost his post during the 2011 protests and is at the centre of corruption allegations over his work for National Geographic. “She said she would come at 3pm but she came late. I said ‘You have to say I’m sorry I’m late’. But she didn’t open her mouth,” continued Dr Hawass, credited with modernizing the management of Egypt’s ancient sites and who claims to have repatriated 6,000 artefacts “stolen” by Western powers. “I brought a photographer and she also had a photographer and a guard. When my photographer started to shoot, he said ‘No, Stop! I am the one who says yes or no, not you.’ I said ‘In that case since you almost hit my photographer and you are not polite – out! I am not giving you the privilege of having you on my tour.’ I said Beyoncé was stupid and I left.” Hey, this definitely isn’t the first time someone has called her stupid and it probably won’t be the last. Apparently this guy is somewhat of a celeb himself, with his own share of rumors he’s battling: Dr Hawass, 66, visiting London to present his latest DNA examination of the pharaohs in a book, Discovering Tutankhamun, admits he has made enemies. “People attack me because I am famous. When I took President Obama to Giza, the camel driver recognised me and he asked ‘But who is the friend of Hawass?’ When I gave a lecture at your Dome of the Millennium 1,700 came to hear me. Bill Clinton got 700.” Protesters denounced Dr Hawass as “the Mubarak of Antiquities” and accused him of corruption. The US Justice Department reportedly launched an investigation into his $200,000 role as National Geographic’s Explorer-in-Residence, which helped secure the Washington-based organization favorable access to the pyramids and Tutankhamun treasures. “There were 20 accusations made against me but they were all dropped,” the Egyptologist said. “They accused me of sleeping with prostitutes which I have never done. No-one can ever bribe me because I am a man of dignity and honor. Every contract was legal. National Geographic benefited more than me.” Famed for his fedora and natty excavation wear, Dr Hawass did launch his own fashion range, offering rugged khakis and leather jackets. But the profits went to the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Cairo. The on-going ferment which has seen the Muslim Brotherhood swept away to be replaced by a new military council has placed Egypt’s antiquities at risk. Vital tourism revenues have been lost. So Dr Hawass is poised to make a shock return. “Already 20,000 signatures have been collected for me to come back. Even those who were against me say they need me back,” he argued. Sounds like he’s not in charge of the pyramids anymore anyway. Wonder how long til Bey shuts him down with a Tumblr post from atop the Sphinx? Tumblr
