From: Ceridwen Goddess Area: Magical Plants To: All 29 Sep 92 11:07:18 Subject: Scary Happenin's UpdReq I was listening to the news today... seems that the Georgia state supreme court is due to rule on a case where a 10 year old third grader, following anti-drug propaganda classes at school, went home and called 911 to turn his parents in on using drugs. apparently the child alerted the police when his parents were not home, they arrived, confiscated the drugs (meta-amphetamines and pot, i think they said), then waited around and arrested the parents when they got home. the parents are claiming illegal drug search as the officers did not have a warrant, and the parents claim that the 10 year old is not in a position to 'grant permission' for the cops to do a search. the cops claim "the child INVITED the ( doesn't THIS smack of baiting a kid... using a woman officer instead of a male officer?) officer into the home and LED her to the drugs. supposedly even if convicted, at least the mother is not likely to do any time because she has no prior record. gods, this really scares me these days. this sounds like nazi germany or the ussr. kids being propagandized into turning in their own parents. the news clip did also note that, if the entire affair goes forward with a conviction, etc... that a 'delicate balance of family relations' will have been destroyed. and THIS coming from an administration that is trying to to promote (allegedly) family values. gross, really, gross. -ceri 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: The Wiccan Witch Area: Magical Plants To: All 28 Sep 92 20:20:16 Subject: names UpdReq I'm changing my alias to Nisaba, folks!

I can't even begin to imagine what its like in a more conservative state like Georgia. Anyways, 4 more years of Bush and I believeeveryone on this series of echoes will be looking out at the sky through steel bars.
