Dead Baby Found In Oprah's South African School

Oprah Winfrey must be troubled and under a lot of stress because the famous TV host has always stood up for human rights and strongly supports the idea of helping one another to make the world a better place.


However, everything she does with the good intentions don't always end up the way she wants them to. Oprah Winfrey opened Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg, South Africa. Recent news is that a dead baby was found in a bag in the premises of the school.


It is believed that the baby belonged to a 17 year old student of the Academy. The hospital staffers discovered the baby in her bag when she came there because of non stop bleeding. Police is investigating the case but have not filed any charges as yet. They don't think that the child died because of foul play.


Oprah has decided to not comment because a minor is involved here. This is not the first time, Oprah had to face criticism for her rather scandalized school. 


In 2007, the school's former dorm matron was accused of molesting several students. Virginia Tiny Makopo was acquitted and Oprah was disappointed. She dismissed the headmistress and said she would do anything to protect the students. But in 2009, four students were expelled and three were suspended for inappropriate behavior and sexual  misconduct towards other students.


Thus, we can see the journey for Oprah Winfrey and this school is not all that great. The fact remains, that humans are unpredictable and even if you build something with the good intention, corrupt minds and badness from within does show itself and ruins the over all big picture. But, without being so critical on Oprah we can also see things minus her star fame. Kids that age do get pregnant and often their babies die. Teachers can also be molesters because no body can guarantee what someone would do alone behind closed doors. And youngsters do engage in sexual misconduct and bullying since forever. These are otherwise wrong things that disturb the society as a whole and Oprah can not be entirely be blamed for everybody else's actions that take place in an Academy she made perhaps.


Nevertheless, Oprah is under stress because of recent developments of the dead baby discovery.

For How Long Will The LGBT Teens Suffer?

It has been a while now that the world has been discussing how sexual orientations can vary from person to person. It is natural process, an individual's choice and we should accept it but still we hear about stories where LGBT (lesbians, gays, bi-sexuals and transgenders) are treated as if they are outcasts. 


Recently, Nikki Peet wanted to discuss issues like anti-gay bullying with the students of Flour Bluff High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. She thought it would be great to talk to a large number of students in the school and spread the message around about equal treatment for all. It is important to communicate the importance of equal treatment to the youth but she didn't know what was in store for her.

Nikki received an extremely negative response from Dr. Julia Carbajal who is Flour Bluff's Superintendent. Dr. Julia cancelled all the extra curricular clubs so that Nikki could not talk about the "Gay Straight Alliance" amongst students. It is strange to see how those who have the means to spread the message across try to ignore the significance of certain issues and not only that they try to make things difficult for those who want to educate the teenagers to prevent the society from unpleasant events in the future.


It is a fact that LGBT kids suffer greatly in schools and other places. They are bullied immensely by their peers as a result of which they suffer from depression, isolation and suicide. Nine out of ten LGBT students experience harassment in schools because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Two thirds feel unsafe in their classroom. LGBT teens are four times more likely to commit suicide than their heterosexual peers.


Nikki has a lot of support from the US and together they are protesting against the Flour Bluff Superintendent for her actions. If you feel you also support their cause and that everyone has an equal right to live the way they want to live you can sign up for this petition. It is not really about LGBT bullying taking place in US only - the cause is much more important that nobody has the right to bully someone for his or her sexual orientation.

3 Days Left To Help Maryland Trafficking Victims

Two weeks ago, Maryland police entered a Baltimore hotel room to find a 19-year-old woman held against her will and violently forced into prostitution by East Coast pimp Edward Perkins.

Who knows how much money Perkins made forcing this teenager to have sex with paying customers, but thanks to a glaring loophole in Maryland law, the victim won't see a dime of it.

In this case, an asset forfeiture law would mean that the money Perkins earned from selling his victim on Backpage.com – even if he used it to buy cars, jewelry, or other assets – can be used to help his victims seek counseling, pay legal fees, and find housing.

In addition to being left without financial help, the young woman won't have any prostitution convictions removed from her record, despite being a victim of sex trafficking. That's because Maryland doesn't expunge convictions for trafficked people.

Two proposed bills in the Maryland legislature would address these serious issues, and the first committee vote is scheduled for this week -- if it fails, the bills likely won't pass until 2012 at the earliest.

HB 418 would allow Maryland to seize the profits from human traffickers and use that money to aid law enforcement and victim service providers, thus removing the financial burden of fighting human trafficking from Maryland taxpayers. SB 327 would allow the courts to order traffickers to pay their victims restitution and reverse commercial sex convictions for all human trafficking victims.

Tell the Maryland legislature to pass HB 418 and SB 327 before Friday's vote comes and goes. Victims of trafficking are depending on us:
