Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?
File this under bad parents -- a woman in Virginia Beach, Virginia has been jailed for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, thanks to a rather tasteless video she posted on MySpace.

She got what she deserves. I hope she loses custody of her child permanently. No child deserves to be raised by an idiot like this woman.

She looks like a meth head. People that do drugs are not in the right frame of mind. If she would tell/let her small child smoke a cigg, god knows what else she would let her or make her do. This is a very serious situation. Let's hope child welfare workers in her city are smart enough to get this child away from that woman.

They need to charge her with child neglect and child abuse, and take the toddler away from her and place this child in loving and caring hands. People like her raise these children in this manner where these kids don't know better and grow up to be just like her or even worse. We need to take these sicko's off the street PERIOD....

I don't see what is wrong with this. I mean, I smoked when I was three, and I came out fine.
I mean, these damn republican nazis are so strict these days. Let the kids have a little toke.
C'mon, it's not like she was making the kid smoke pole!
We should all smoke together, and dance beneath trees. The world would be a much more glittery place!

Chewy??? You must be off your rocker. Maybe you did smoke when you were 3 and...who says you turned out "fine"? Obviiously you did not! Anyone who thinks that forcing a child to smoke cigs at 2 is ok is not "fine". They are just plain ignorant. Smoking is against the law for anyone under the age of 18 and anyone who gives or sells a minor cigarettes can be arrested and subject to fines! NOT TO MENTION the fact that smoking is bad for your health and can cause several serious diseases. I personally have watched aomeone die of lung cancer and the last thing in this world that I would care to watch is someones poor defensless child die of lung cancer because their PARENT was stupid enough to FORCE the child to smoke a damn cigarette! Get a brain. Things aren't like they used to be when you were a kid!

I personally think that just smoking near a child is child abuse so this is just horrible. This chav should never be allowed near a child again. hope the little girl gets a better life now at least!

This is why kids should get taught about birth control early, and why some of the little blighters ought to have it made mandatory in their useless, ugly, worthless little lives.

The most awful thing about this story is that she will probably get
that little girl back. Most states don't have the resources to worry
about such a "minor" infraction.
It's horrible when one bothers to find out how many of these kids are
given back to the same monsters they were taken away from. Some over
worked and underpaid state worker decides the parent is all of a
sudden more capable now for whatever reason, and a child is shoved
back into a hopeless situation.
It should be criminal. Our government lets children and the elderly
slip through the cracks.

Hey there, K maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to do, but here are some FACTS, believe'em if you want. Sandy is a good friend of mine and she's a wonderful( YES I SAID IT) wonderful person . She loves her kids VERY much, and would NEVER condone "contributing to the delinquicy of a minor". Yup, for sure she didn't think this through... VA Beach police came to her and her man's place with a 'no-knock' warrant, (that's great for a child's welfare, if you're a parent, think abouit it)... I'm 38 years old, I have pics of me as a baby holding beer bottles and cigs., uh hello!!! if any of you people want to hate on someone you don't know, thinkk about this, How many times in your life have you done something and said afterwards, OMG, I wish I could take that one back? For the the record, CPS was there when they kicked the door in, the social worker there told the police that this case was unfounded. All this hype is the result of 1 sleazy sensationalist reporter for a local TV station...Judge not lest you be judged youself...

to Dan: You're an idiot. No one takes responsibility anymore. We all know her character. Go back to your meth lab.
Another reason not to smoke. Only WEAK people do it. Most can't stop even if they wanted to. It's a disgusting habit. Chewing or dipping are not much better. Simply put, it's a legal drug!

As for comments about reporting abusive or neglectful behavior found on My-Space (some saying invasion of privacy) If some-one is this big of an "idiot", than she obviously needs intervention in parenting! Lucky for that child, that she has such a disfunctual mother, now the child might have a chance for a better future!
