Pope Francis: parents can smack their children for bad behavior

Pope Francis believes it is fine for parents to smack their children as punishment for bad behaviour.
He made the remarks, which were condemned by campaigners for child protection, in front of thousands of people at his weekly general audience in St Peter’s Square during a homily about the responsibilities of fatherhood.
The Pope recalled a conversation he had had with a father, who told him that on occasion he hits his children if they have been naughty.
The Pope, smiling and miming the action of slapping a child on the bottom, said: “One time, I heard a father say, 'At times I have to hit my children a bit, but never in the face so as not to humiliate them.’
“That’s great. He had a sense of dignity. He should punish, do the right thing, and then move on,” he told around 7,000 people gathered in the Pope Paul VI Hall on Wednesday....

Hoppy meal: Woman tossed out of McDonald’s after taking ‘therapy’ kangaroo to lunch

Hoppy meal: Woman tossed out of McDonald’s after taking ‘therapy’ kangaroo to lunch


Multiple animals can be used to accompany those with disabilities, such as dogs, birds, horses…and kangaroos? That’s what one Wisconsin woman claimed when she took the marsupial into a McDonald’s, but that didn’t keep police from kicking her out.

The strange situation took place last Friday, but was just reported recently. At 11:41am, Diana Moyer entered a McDonald’s in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, with a baby kangaroo accompanying her. Moyer and her husband, Larry, actually own five kangaroos at their home, according to the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, and they have been taking the young animal to that same McDonald’s for three months.

Up until Friday, Moyer had yet to receive a complaint. However, someone finally took exception to the trips when a customer called Beaver Dam police to complain about the fact that a woman brought a kangaroo into McDonald’s. When officers arrived, they asked her to leave the restaurant.

Genitals video set for Valentine's relaunch

The English version of a Swedish children’s cartoon featuring dancing genitals that went viral last month, is on track for a Valentine’s Day release, its composer has told The Local.

Swedish 'genital' video gets remade in English (21 Jan 15)

Its composer Johan Holmström revealed to The Local on Thursday that the video, which has clocked up almost five million YouTube hits, is set to get its English re-release in time for one of the most romantic days of the year.

“We don’t know if it will be ready in time, but we hope to release it on Valentine’s Day. We thought it would be fun, because it’s a video about the ‘snopp’ and the ‘snippa’ and love.”

Originally made for the children’s programme Bacillakuten, which is produced by Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT, the song uses child-friendly Swedish words for genitals ‘snippa’ and ‘snopp’ and was designed to teach children about the body and its functions.

It ended up making global headlines after YouTube initially classified it as ‘adult content’.

SVT later persuaded the video giant to agree that the clip was not explicit or aimed at adults and to lift the classification.

More Americans Believe in Witches, UFOs Than Support FCC’s Net Neutrality Proposal

Matthew Berry, chief of staff to Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai, pointed out that only nine percent of Americans support the commission’s plan to regulate the Internet. “More Americans believe in witches (21%) than support Pres. Obama's Internet regulation plan as it stands (9%),” Berry Tweeted on Friday.
Berry was referring to the findings of a poll conducted over the weekend that found that only nine percent of Americans support the “net neutrality” regulations set for a vote next Thursday. The study was conducted by Hart Research Associates, a Democratic polling firm.
...
The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 332-page net neutrality plan, proposed by Democrats on the commission, will pass if the five-member body’s three Democrats vote in unison as expected. However, the FCC has prohibited release of the plan until after its passage.
In addition to the finding that only nine percent of Americans are in favor of the net neutrality regulations currently before the commission, Hart’s polling found that 79 percent of Americans believe the “exact wording and the details of the plan” should be made public before the commission votes on it.

CDC Finds Troubling Rise in Teen Suicide Method

More teens who are killing themselves are choosing suffocation and strangling, government researchers reported Thursday. And more young women are committing suicide.
It's a troubling trend and it's not clear what's driving it, the team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
"The data don't allow us to determine why," said the CDC's Thomas Simon, a suicide expert who helped lead the study. "Is it social media? Is it conventional media? Is it access to other methods?"
What CDC is very worried about is giving troubled a teens a "how-to" guide for how to commit suicide, but the agency also wants parents, teachers, friends and others to be aware of the risks. When media report on certain suicide methods, often officials see a rise in suicides afterwards, using the method described.
