Dozens of Palestinian children were due to begin classes in Jubbet al-Dib, a village near Bethlehem, last week.
But on the evening of 22 August, Israeli occupation forces destroyed their new school.
It consisted of six prefabricated buildings largely funded by the European Union and several of its governments.
During the five-hour assault in Jubbet al-Dib, Israeli forces declared the area a closed military zone and used stun grenades, tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets to keep residents away as they dismantled and confiscated the buildings.
"It was heartbreaking to see children and their teachers turning up for their first day of school under the blazing sun, with no classrooms or anywhere to seek shelter in, while in the immediate vicinity the work to expand illegal settlements goes on uninterrupted," Itay Epshtain of the Norwegian Refugee Council said after visiting the village.
"The demolition of a school building the night before the start of the year epitomizes the administrative cruelty and systematic harassment by authorities designed to drive Palestinians from their land," the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem stated.
An EU spokesperson told The Electronic Intifada on Monday that the value of the buildings and equipment seized by Israeli forces in Jubbet al-Dib and earlier in the Abu Nuwwar community is $37,000 – and that they were paid for jointly by the EU, Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Sweden.
Earlier in August, Israeli forces confiscated solar panels that provided electricity to the kindergarten of the Abu Nuwwar community, located in the so-called E-1 area of the occupied West Bank, where Israel plans to expand its mega-settlement of Maaleh Adumim.
Weak EU response
In a weakly worded statement last week, the European Union expressed its "strong concern" – not even "condemnation" – about this and other demolitions.
The statement neglected even to mention that the buildings were funded by European taxpayers.
The EU did, however, mention Israel's policy of "designating land for exclusive Israeli use and of denying Palestinian development" – an indirect acknowledgement of what others have more forthrightly and accurately labeled apartheid.
Yet on Monday, the EU confirmed that it is content to let the destruction pass without any tangible action to hold Israel accountable.
Asked what the EU planned to do to seek restitution and accountability from Israel, the spokesperson said: "The EU has raised these matters publicly and also privately in its dialogue with the Israeli authorities."
That's diplomatic speak for: we've done all we're going to do, which amounts to nothing.
Spate of attacks
The demolition in Jubbet al-Dib was one of several recent Israeli attacks on Palestinian schools.
On 21 August, occupation forces raided the Palestinian Bedouin community of Jabal al-Baba near the Jerusalem-area village of al-Eizariya and demolished a prefab building that was to serve as a kindergarten for about 25 local children who have no other school.
According to B'Tselem, Israeli forces took the desks, chairs and blackboard – equipment valued at about $2,800, a large sum for a community with so little.
"The latest spate of school demolitions and confiscations in the West Bank forms part of a wider attack on education in Palestine," the Norwegian Refugee Council noted.
According to the agency, about 55 schools in the West Bank are currently threatened with demolition or so-called "stop work" orders by occupation forces.
Many are located in Area C, the roughly 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli military control under the Oslo accords signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in the early 1990s.
Many of these schools are donor-funded, including by European Union governments.
"Israel denies the majority of Palestinian planning permit requests in Area C, thereby leaving Palestinians with no option but to reconstruct and develop without permits, while Israeli settlements – established in violation of international law – continue to expand," the Norwegian Refugee Council stated.
Israel's destruction of Palestinian infrastructure funded by international donors is relentless and systematic.
In recent years, Israel has destroyed at least $74 million worth of EU-funded projects, including schools, playgrounds and agricultural initiatives.
Analysts have suggested that EU officials have downplayed the full extent of Israel's destruction in order to avoid embarrassment.
Last year, the Tel Aviv newspaper Haaretz reported that there was mounting pressure from European Parliament members on EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to confront Israel more forcefully over the matter.
But instead, the EU appears to be intensifying its unconditional support for Israel. A high-level official recently pledged EU support for Israel's efforts to silence criticism of its policies, under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism.
EU officials also continue to smear the nonviolent boycott, divestment and sanctions movement with claims that the EU cannot substantiate that BDS activities have led to a rise in anti-Semitic incidents.
The EU also continues to fund Israeli torturers and arms makers.
In July, Israel confiscated solar and diesel electricity generating equipment in Jubbet al-Dib donated by the Netherlands and valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Dutch government sent Israel a letter protesting the move, saying it was "currently assessing what next steps can be taken."
Haaretz reported that "these softly worded statements cover the anger brewing in the government of the Netherlands, a close friend of Israel's, at the damage to the humanitarian project."
And in the wake of the demolition in Jubbet al-Dib this month, the Belgian government let its anger be known.
"These new demolitions and seizures of essential infrastructure are unacceptable," the country's foreign minister Didier Reynders and development minister Alexander De Croo said in a joint statement.
"By undermining such humanitarian projects, Israel contravenes its international obligations as an occupying power, in particular the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War," the Belgian government added.
Strong words indeed, but followed by soothing reassurances to Israel that it need fear no consequences.
"Explanations as well as compensation will be demanded from the Israeli government," the ministers said. "Belgium is not the only international donor affected by this kind of destruction. It will continue to work together with its partners, as in the past, to ask the Israeli authorities to end these demolitions."
There is no hint of what Belgium might do if Israel ignores its polite requests, but if the past is a guide, it will – like the EU – do absolutely nothing.
Slap us again
"The destruction of educational structures funded by European money is not just a violation of international law," said the Norwegian Refugee Council's Palestine director Hanibal Abiy Worku. "It is also a slap in the face to the international community providing aid to the occupied Palestinian population in a bid to ensure safe places of learning for children."
With their inaction, the EU and its member governments are once again sending Israel a very clear message: please slap us and our taxpaying citizens again, and keep on destroying the schools and lives of Palestinians.

M&M announces retirement of iconic 'pet' after controversy over female character
After a controversy over changing the shoes of two female M&M characters, Mars Inc. made a bizarre statement that it was withdrawing its cartoon.
Mars, the candy company that owns M&Ms, has announced that it will indefinitely retire seven "spokesperson candies" following controversy over new images of its female characters.
It all started a year ago when the company modified two M&M shoes for women. The high-heeled "go-go" style boots have been replaced with sports her shoes instead of green candy, and the brown boots have been replaced with stilettos. High-heeled shoes. For people with wide heels.
according to CNN, an internet campaign calling for making green M&Ms "sexy" has again reached 20,000 signatures and was even criticized in media such as The Washington Post. A character who becomes a "little slut".
The straw that broke the camel's back seems, at least to some, to be the introduction of a new female character, a purple M&M "designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity," along with green and brown. , recently "Snacks." Special edition for International Women's Day.
They accuse M&M of being 'too politically correct'
That latest change has sparked a wave of media criticism from other political sides. In particular, it accused M&M of being "awakened" or "too politically correct" and Fox News seeking public verification by releasing purple candy linked to the feminist movement.
In a statement via Twitter indicating that these candy characters were probably the last to do so before an "indefinite hiatus," the company today said it was stunned by the repercussions of the image change, citing the harassment of conservative commentators. does not mention, but he answers with humor.
"I wasn't sure no one would notice. And I definitely didn't think this was going to break the internet. But now I see. Even candy shoes can be polarizing." This is the last thing M&M wanted because the most important thing for us is connecting people," he says.
Instead of painting a candy picture as a spokesperson, the company shows that from now on it will have someone who can get the US to "agree." Maya Rudolph is an actress. A world where everyone feels they belong. "

Paul Kitching talks with a stoicism that can only come from having seen it all. The restaurant industry has, and will continue to change irrevocably in the coming years and that's okay, according to the award-wining chef. In fact, closing his restaurant 21212 in Edinburgh for three days a week, just seemed like the natural thing to do.
The hugely talented Kitching has enjoyed his share of accolades over the years, his restaurant, which he runs with his partner Katie O'Brien, has held a Michelin star since 2010. It's one of only four Michelin star restaurants in Edinburgh and is known for the consistent brilliance of Kitching's cooking.
As we all know, that doesn't happen by accident. It takes serious dedication and hours of graft to get to a place where your kitchen is producing that kind of food on a regular basis, so it is surprising that Kitching does it in just four-days-a week, remaining closed for the other three.
Although it doesn't deter him from sharing his stories anyway.
So why is there such a difference in the way we learn in the kitchen these days? Kitching thinks it's more about a broader change in how we tap into information than anything to do specifically with the kitchen.
"You see we just didn't have access to the internet. Maybe we had a book with pictures of Escoffier or Marco Pierre White, but there was nowhere else to learn except in the kitchen... If you wanted a new recipe you had to get on a train to London and knock on a Michelin star chef's door and ask him.
"Young chefs these days, they're far more theoretical in the way they learn. They don't turn up with a bag of 50 knives. They'll get the basics from you, but then, they'll take that away and they'll research online, attack the subject from every different angle and then come back to you with it.
You would believe that the back-breaking work of prep in the kitchen is what builds a chef's character, gives them the intimate knowledge and feeling for the food – the 'wax-on, wax-off', of cooking, but that doesn't seem to bother Kitching at all.
"Today, young chefs just aren't really into the down and dirty aspects of the kitchen. You can't say to them 'here's 50 bulbs of garlic now peel them' or give them kilos and kilos of mussels to clean. We used to sit down on an upturned bucket at the back of the restaurant for hours on end, but they really want to get into the creative aspects straight away. We share out all the dirty work. We sit down together, roll up our sleeves and get stuck in".
So, the move to a four day week just seemed like a natural thing to do.
There's an upside to having the restaurant closed for those three days. It gives Kitching the chance to do what he loves.
But he definitely sees the benefit of a better work-life balance for his staff, there's increased productivity and it's beneficial for their mental health.
If this is the way the restaurant industry is going, then who have to wonder if Kitching and vocational chefs are a dying breed?
If that is the case, who will cook for us in the future?

Jennifer Garner is an American actress. She became famous for her role as Sydney Bristol in the ABC Television series Alias. She continued her success in feature films such as 13 Going on 30, and the superhero films Daredevil and Electra.
Garner met fellow actor (and fellow superhero star) Ben Affleck and began dating in 2004. They married in 2005. They have three children, a daughter age 12, a daughter age 10, and a son age 6. The couple separated in 2015, and Garner filed for divorce in 2017.
On October 4, 2018, according to the website TMZ, Garner asked that her divorce filings be removed from the Los Angeles County court system and be controlled by a private judge. By hiring a private judge, her marriage to Affleck could be decided much quicker than going through the usual court process.
But what is a private judge, and would it be in my best interests to use one for my divorce?
The California State Constitution allows parties to take their case to a private judge, just as long as the private judge has the qualifications to serve as a judge in a public court. After agreeing to a specific private judge, a Stipulation for Appointment is signed by all parties and their attorneys, and the private judge. It is then sent to the presiding judge of the county where the case is pending. After the presiding judge approves and signs the order, the private judge has all of the powers of a sitting Superior Court judge for that case only.
Whether a private judge would help in a specific divorce case, depends on the issues in that case. Can the parties agree on settling their issues? If not, can the parties afford to hire a private judge? If the case is contentious, the legal fees – now including a judge's fees – will be very expensive, more so than in public court.
If the parties can agree to work with the private judge to settle their case, the parties will share in many benefits. Not only will they save on judge's fees, but they'll also be able to work directly with the judge (and their attorneys, of course) in a more informal setting.
Keep in mind that the judge retains all the powers under the law that a currently-sitting court judge holds, and he or she can and will make orders for the parties to follow.
Also, private judges are experts in family law, and can prevent technical errors in filing paperwork through the court system. A technical error will result in a rejection of the paperwork and can cost the parties months in lost time.
After the parties have agreed to their settlement, the Final Judgment is filed with the court system and the parties are divorced.

This year however the quality of the mesh seems to have deteriorated. There is a hole either side in the mesh now just before the toe box after only 150 odd miles off road. My running buddy has had the same issue. Overall a comfortable shoe with medium grip on muddy trails but not one for hundreds of miles given current quality.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hint80 from Quality item Excellent quality. Lightweight and durable. Very comfy. Would definitely recommend.


I know I don't know much about BPD… But stealing cars is not a direct symptom I bet.
My youngest brother straight up stole my kid sisters car yesterday. He said that since he helped her pay it off two years ago, it's rightfully his. He found the spare key and just took it when we were asleep.
Today our Dad is letting her borrow his classic SABB. He's been rebuilding and fixing and spending time with that car nearly all my life. He loves that car.
Actually, I love that car too, it's very cool. So we get to enjoy it until we get my kid sisters 1971 monster station wagon back. It seems the little brother has hidden it somewhere.
My parents have decided to find a way to get John in to see a professional. He does live with them. Even though they have never done "tough love" they have enforced boundaries.
He doesn't get to say that having BPD makes him steal cars.
So things are going to change again and my sis has a gas efficient… easy to park… cool car for a while as a result. I will be very interested to see the result of all this.
This time… I love being on the out side looking in.
My brother makes my sister's life at work a nightmare… she transfers pools and it has better pay and advancement opportunities and it's a safer pool.
He takes her car, she gets to use a better one.
Karma can be a wonderful thing.
I think it's great that your parents are getting involved and are setting boundaries. Everyone must be accountable for their actions–BPD or not.
And I'm glad that he's going to see a professional. I think it will be interesting to hear what the doc has to say about your brother's behavior.
And getting proper diagnosis and treatment is going to help everyone involved. You guys can finally have some peace and start healing.
It's great to see positive things coming out of a negative situation, isn't it?
My kid sis is over the moon about this new pool. There is a therapy group that comes and one of the instructors is a psych nurse at Children's hospital. So my sis has a contact person to get plugged in with programs in our area.
The location of the pool is safer too. It's in a park in a friendly neighborhood not out on the edge of a Frat house dist.
All her brothers negativity just seems to be bouncing off.
Your brother is what my dad calls "on the skids", whatever that really means. I take it to mean not right in the head. His behavior has been out of line and now it is just unacceptable- I hope your parents do what they can with him. I don't mean to sound like an a$$hole, but I mean come on, he is really out of line and requires professional help. Stealing your car is just no. The hateful letters he sends are also just no. Him verbally abusing your sister at her job and making her switch locations was the last straw in my opinion.
I hope your parents do what they can with him. You and your sis don't deserve his actions. And for his own sake, the dude needs help…he is obviously having psychological problems, serious ones.
I am glad to hear that he can't get to you! Don't give him any power by letting him get to you!
the new car sounds cool, very james bond , or maybe riley bond (your kid sis is called riley, right?) forgive me i can't remember names !
i am really happy for your sis getting the new job , sounds way better.
Yeah, I hope your parents are trying to help kidsister. It doesn't exactly sound like a fair fight when a grown man is picking on and abusing a 17 year old girl.
Maybe your youngest brother needs guidance. And what is he doing out while everyone is asleep? If he has BPD somebody needs to be there giving him his meds. Work it out as a family if possible.
He's 20. He is self professed BPD and declared himself as such when my parents told him to quit threatening our kid sis. He hasn't be professionally diagnosed. He just read a lot of websites and now knows. He says he as no control over harassing our kid sis or hitting her, or stealing her car… It's all the BPD's fault.
We're not buying it until he gets to a professional. It's obvious that something is going on.
Well the positive thing is that he read a lot of websites and now he now knows. maybe that information will give him good karma down the road.

Michael Vick says he was a source of football information while serving 17 months in federal prison for his role in a dog fighting ring.
ATLANTA — Michael Vick has never played fantasy football, but it was an inescapable part of his life for nearly two decades.
Vick was one of the most prolific fantasy quarterbacks during his prime, starting with the Atlanta Falcons in 2001, then with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009. His Monday Night Football performance against the Washington Redskins in 2010 ranks as one of the greatest in history, with Vick passing for 333 yards and four touchdowns and rushing for 80 yards and two scores.
"I had guys coming up to me on the street like, 'Hey man I won last week with you on my fantasy (team). Thanks for rushing for 63 yards.' I'd be like I'm just doing my job. Good for you and good for me," Vick tells USA TODAY Sports.
Sandwiched between his best NFL seasons was a 17-month sentence in federal prison for his role in a dog fighting ring. While at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., Vick was not only popular because of his celebrity, but because of the inside information he could share about the NFL.
"They had their little own brackets and little things going on, getting insight from me," Vick says. "I gave it to 'em. I can't say I was always right. I was right a majority of the time. I remember kind of crazy things going on – guys betting. Yeah, it went down.
"There's some big money behind it."
Vick retired as a player in 2017 and has been named offensive coordinator for the Atlanta franchise of the Alliance of American Football scheduled to start play in February. He says he's still struck by the passion inmates had for fantasy football.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons denied interview requests by USA TODAY Sports with current inmates on fantasy sports because of the association with gambling, which is not permitted in federal and state prisons.
Outside of his friendly advice, Vick steered clear of anything related to gambling because he was trying to get out of prison to rewrite the story on his career. Although he could've drafted his former Falcons teammates, Vick says it never crossed his mind to play fantasy.
After prison he came back to the NFL and regained his status as a top-three quarterback by the end of 2010, according to Rotoworld. That season his unexpected ascension to starter when Kevin Kolb got hurt made him a fantasy steal for those who drafted him, and a hot commodity on the fantasy trade block.
Asked if he remembers the reality of his historic fantasy showing in 2010 against the Redskins – a game that saw him amass 40 first-half fantasy points – Vick nods in affirmation.

LOS ANGELES — Palm trees! Shorts! Sunglasses!
While the World Series isn't quite a trip to the beach, the Boston Red Sox anticipate staying hot in balmy California, and the Los Angeles Dodgers hope a warm welcome will help them reverse a 2-0 deficit.
Walker Buehler, a 24-year-old rookie right-hander, will be the center of attention when he starts Game 3 for the Dodgers in Friday's late-afternoon twilight against Rick Porcello. Not so Wednesday, when Buehler flew home from Boston ahead of his team and went unrecognized.
He missed a 4-2 win by the Red Sox at Fenway Park that opened a 2-0 Series lead. The Dodgers once again looked off-kilter in the cold of autumn in New England.
"We actually took off like 30 minutes before the first pitch and landed about 30 minutes before the last out," he said.
Los Angeles traveled Thursday, deciding to get a full night's sleep in a Boston hotel rather than flop on flat-bed airplane seats while cruising cross-country through the night. Boston's players spent the night at home, then jetted west.
Porcello went straight from the charter to Dodger Stadium, GQ ready in a dark suit, dress shirt and violet necktie.
Boston burst ahead in the Series at its 106-year-old ballpark, defined by the 37-foot Green Monster in left, the triangle in center, the Pesky Pole in right and the Citgo sign beyond. The Red Sox thrived in the chilly, damp nights. The Dodgers bundled up and tried to endure.
Now Los Angeles is back in its own elements. The yellow, light orange, turquoise and sky blue seats looked like 55,000 or so dominoes lined up, the San Gabriel Mountains shimmering beyond the hexagonal video boards and the parking lots. While there were no formal workouts by either team, a few Dodgers played catch in left field.
With the shift to the National League, the designated hitter vanishes. Boston manager Alex Cora must decide whether to insert J.D. Martinez into an outfield corner to keep the major league RBI leader in the batting order. He ruled out shifting Mookie Betts from right field to second base to create room.
Martinez is playing with a sore right ankle after slipping while rounding second base in the opener.
After starting the first all right-handed-hitting lineup (with no switch-hitters) in Series history against lefties Chris Sale and David Price, Roberts will revert to a more orthodox assortment against Porcello. Left-handed-hitting Joc Pederson will lead off instead of Brian Dozier, and fellow lefties Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy could join him along with switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal. The benched quartet included the Dodgers' top four home-run hitters.
Roberts was a member of the 2004 Red Sox, who became the first team to overcome a 3-0 postseason deficit when they beat the New York Yankees in the AL Championship Series. Boston then swept St. Louis for its first title since 1918. Roberts remembered the message of then-Red Sox manager Terry Francona: win tonight.
As the Rockies continue searching for their collective team identity amid a rocky first three weeks, Jon Gray is feeling more relaxed in his skin than ever.

Supreme Court to explain reasons for tossing charges against mom who had sex with minor
CanadianCRC Editor: This article contains sexist wording that would never have been used had the rapist been a man and it was sex with the 14 year old female. We have highlighted the sexists words in red. REVERSE the genders on this story and see how it looks. What a double standard!
35-year-old Saskatchewan woman mistakenly thought 14-year-old boy was of age to consent
CBC News, By Kathleen Harris, CBC News, Jul 06, 2017
The Supreme Court of Canada will explain Friday why it threw out sexual assault charges against a woman who had sex with the 14-year-old friend of her son.
In May, justices ruled that Saskatchewan resident Barbara George, who was 35 at the time of the sexual encounter, should not face a new trial for sexual interference and sexual assault. It will present written reasons for that decision.
The crux of the case is around age of consent, and a section of the Criminal Code that requires an adult to take "reasonable steps" to determine the age of a person before engaging in sex with them.
George was acquitted of the charges because the trial judge found the sexual activity was "factually consensual" - that she honestly believed the boy was at least 16, and there was reasonable doubt she had not taken all reasonable steps to determine the age of "C.D.," whose full name is protected by a publication ban.
He was attending a party at her home the night of the encounter.
According to documents filed by the appellant with the Supreme Court, George assumed C.D. was over the age of 16 because he had facial hair, a mature demeanour and apparent sexual experience. He also smoked and took care of his younger siblings.
According to the documents, George did not realize how old he was until several months later, when she applied to become an RCMP officer. One of the questions on the questionnaire asked if she had ever had sexual activity with someone under 16.
RCMP application leads to charges
After checking with her son about the age of C.D., she answered the form in the affirmative.
That led to an RCMP investigation and subsequent charges laid against her.
George was acquitted at trial. While the judge said she exhibited an "appalling lack of judgment" by talking to the complainant in her bedroom for several hours that night, there was not enough evidence to show she deliberately broke the law.
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, in a majority decision, allowed the Crown's subsequent appeal, sending the matter to the country's highest court.
"This case involves a 35-year-old woman who was the sole parent and adult at a high school party when she had sexual intercourse with a boy who was half her age and young enough to be her teenage son," reads a court document filed by the respondent, the Attorney General of Saskatchewan.
"Despite all of that, she took no steps to ascertain the complainant's age before she had sex with him. In fact, she did not turn her mind to the issue of the complainant's age at all until months later."
In 2008, the Conservative government led by Stephen Harper raised the legal age of consent in Canada from 14 to 16, the first change to the law since 1892.
The Criminal Code amendment allowed for "close in age" or "peer group" exceptions. That means a 14- or 15-year-old can consent as long as the partner is less than five years older, and a 12- or 13-year-old can consent if the partner is less than two years older.
The age of consent remained 18 if the sexual activity involves someone in a position of authority, trust or dependency, or involves exploitation such as pornography or prostitution.
Monique St. Germain, general counsel for the Canadian Centre for the Protection of Children, said it would be a big problem if the key message from the courts is that if someone looks and acts 16, it's OK to have sex with them.
'One would have thought, at the very least, a question should have been asked in terms of age before engaging in sexual activity.'- Monique St. Germain, Canadian Centre for the Protection of Children.
"What that would mean is that children under 16 would be far less protected from the very harms that Parliament intended that they be protected from," she said.
"One would have thought, at the very least, a question should have been asked in terms of age before engaging in sexual activity."
St. Germain said there is a lack of understanding about the social and psychological development of children, especially boys.
"There is a societal perception that teenage boys engaging in sex with older women is not harmful, and our agency would say that's not the case," she said.
What the Criminal Code and courts say about consent
Justin Trottier, executive director of the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE), would not speculate on whether the outcome might be different if the accused were a man and the victim a girl. But he does believe the criminal justice system has an inherent bias against males in some cases.
Trottier, whose group has stirred controversy for its campaign to raise awareness about domestic violence against men, said when a woman is accused of a sexual offence against a boy, the assumption is that the boy got lucky, he wanted it, he must have been sexually aggressive or that it didn't cause him any harm.
"These are all myths. Boys can be sexually abused, and it certainly does harm them to the same extent as it does girls who are sexually abused," he said.
Relying on facial hair, the fact the complainant smoked or seemed familiar with sex should not be legal grounds for assuming age of consent, he said

3 in 4 B.C. boys on street sexually exploited by women
VANCOUVER - Canada's largest study into the sexual exploitation of street kids and runaways has shattered some myths about who the abusers might be - with the most surprising finding being that many are women seeking sex with young males.
"Some youth in each gender were exploited by women with more than three out of four (79 per cent) sexually exploited males reporting exchanging sex for money or goods with a female," said Elizabeth Saewyc, associate professor of nursing at the University of British Columbia and principal investigator for the study conducted by Vancouver's McCreary Centre Society.
"I must admit it wasn't something we were expecting."
Study: Child Porn Isn't Illegal In Most Countries
A review of child pornography laws in 184 countries shows that more than half have no laws that address child pornography.
Information Week
At a press conference in Washington, D.C., the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) and other participants, including Microsoft, presented a study on Thursday revealing the woeful inadequacy of child pornography laws around the world.
ICMEC's global policy review of child pornography laws in 184 Interpol-member countries showed that more than half have no laws that specifically address child pornography, and in many others the existing laws are insufficient.
"It's hard to arrest and prosecute if you don't have the legal foundation on which to build," said Ernie Allen, ICMEC president and CEO.
The ICMEC study found that possession of child pornography isn't a crime in 138 countries. In 122 countries, there's no law dealing with the use of computers and the Internet as a means of child porn distribution.
"One of the greatest challenges we are confronted with is child safety, child protection, and child rights," said Baron Daniel Cardon de Lecture, chairman of ICMEC. Most of the countries in the world, he said, "have no meaningful system to adequately and effectively combat sexual exploitation of children."
Only five countries--Australia, Belgium, France, South Africa, and the United States--have laws deemed adequate by ICMEC to address the issue.
Mom drugged daughter to get her pregnant: police
Associate Press, U.S.A.
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A western Pennsylvania mother has been charged with giving her 13-year-old daughter drugs and alcohol so the woman's boyfriend could impregnate the girl without her knowing, police said Thursday.
Shana Brown, 32, is no longer able to have children but wanted to have a baby with her current boyfriend, Duane Calloway, said Uniontown Police Detective Donald Gmitter. The pair decided to drug the girl so Calloway, 40, could have sex with her, he added.
"There's some sick people on this case," Gmitter said.
Brown has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, turned herself in Thursday and was being held in the Fayette County jail, police said. Brown's attorney did not return a call for comment.
Calloway faces several counts of attempted rape. He was arrested Wednesday and remains in jail. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
The three attacks occurred in Brown's home in Uniontown, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, according to the criminal complaint.
