Has anyone ever threatened to take your child away from you , according to your judgment, as a revenge?
Custody battles are born under many different circumstances, but one of the saddest ones is when the challenging parent threatens his/her partner or spouse with taking the children away from the other parent. A lot of the times these types of custody battles emerge from a split or simply an unwanted break up, because either the challenging parent does not want a divorce or he/she  just can't get over a break up and sometimes because he/she is jealous about your present love life. Another really unfortunate circumstance is when one of the grandparents threatens to do so as well, just because he/she is very protective over their son/daughter (check this example). When custody battles are based on revenge, that's when you ought to know that in many of these cases, the challenging adult is capable of doing anything, because they know that taking a child from you can hurt you the most. Even though there's no law that protects you from custody battles based on revenge because they're so hard to prove, you know how to spot them, especially if you're going through one. As a matter of fact, I really have a lot more to say about custody battles based on revenge when you read my novel. You'll be shocked to know how sometimes innocent parents are trapped in a prison composed of harassment and threats. See everything through the eyes of Elizabeth soon. Feel free to share your story!

Judge Judith Gische
Are you kidding me? So Judge Judith Gische from New York has decided in a 21 page ruling that due to a lack of funding available, the Advantage Program in NYC can definitely be terminated. This program provides rent subsidies to help homeless people transition from emergency shelters in NCY. Now I think I can pull out a sneak peek from my novel so you can see where I'm exactly coming from. But before that, let me share with you what the Legal Aid Society attorney Steven Banks thinks about this whole thing, according to Reuters. Attorney Steven Banks believes that  if NYC does end up cutting these rent subsidies, the city can wind up paying even more to shelter those homeless families, after all.

I personally believe that homeless transitional programs are extremely good, and I also think that they could potentially even help reduce crime in the streets. Now, the Legal Aid Society plans on appealing the ruling. Although payments will not stop immediately, still, a decision for now has been made. Let's spread the word and create more awareness on this case! Check out my never before seen unedited and unpolished sneak peek related to this post:

Manny Ramirez arrested for domestic violence.
Manny Ramirez got arrested for domestic violence yesterday in Florida! What really happened between Manny Ramirez and his wife? Well, here's the Manny Ramirez domestic violence story:

Allegedly Manny Ramirez slapped his wife in the face. Apparently it 'caused her head to  bump against the bed headboard. TMZ reports that Manny Ramirez and Juliana were arguing in their bedroom when Manny Ramirez struck the left side of the face of Julianna. And that's how she ended up getting her head hurt when she hit the bed headboard. Julianna immediately called the police, and once the cops arrived to the scene they noticed that Manny Ramirez wife Julianna had a small bruise on the back of her head, and that her face was red and swollen. Of course, there are two sides of this story. Manny Ramirez claims that he shrugged his wife's shoulders, and once he did it, she hit her head against the headboard. Who is lying here? Manny Ramirez was  charged with misdemeanor battery. Now, if Manny Ramirez gets convicted, he could actually be facing up to one year in jail. Surprised?
