Stop Webcam Child Sex Tourism
VIDEO [CC] - Stop Webcam Child Sex Tourism - Help Us Help The Kids Behind Cams.
Terre des Hommes Nederland - Watch how 10 year old Sweetie and other webcam girls track 1.000 pedosexuals in 2 months time. Help us help the kids behind cams. Sign the petition here: http://avaaz.org/en/wcst/
“When I was in the Philippines, I saw the damaging effect webcam sex tourism has on these children. Their feelings of self worth and their views on sexuality were completely distorted” says Terre des Hommes’ psychologist Guusje Havenaar.
The Terre des Hommes research team was helped by a fictitious, virtual 10-year old called Sweetie. As soon as this girl showed her virtual face in freely accessible chat programs, numerous adult men would contact her. Within seconds, Sweetie received dozens of requests for online sex.
The rich adult usually defines ‘the market’ of webcam child sex tourism. Money is scarce in many developing countries and practically every request by webcam will be conceded, however perverse. The growing popularity of the Internet and mobile telephony in developing countries makes it possible to meet the rise in demand. Poverty is the main reason why these children are being molested online. For more background information on this new phenomenon, visit www.youtube.com/sweetie.
According to the FBI and the UN, 750,000 perpetrators worldwide engage in webcam child sex tourism at any given moment. In contrast: only 6 perpetrators have been convicted since 2007. This has to change. Protect the children from webcam child sex tourists. Sign the petition here: http://avaaz.org/en/wcst/

The Power of Sign Language
VIDEO [CC] - The Power of Sign Language - Human Rights Watch: Deaf children have a right to a quality education, like all other children, in a language and environment that maximizes their potential. Sign language is critical for Deaf people to be able to communicate, express themselves, and learn.
SYDNEY, AU – Deaf children have a right to a quality education, like all other children, in a language and environment that maximizes their potential. In a video released on October 18, 2013, in conjunction with a global conference in Sydney on equality for Deaf people, Human Rights Watch shows some of the challenges faced by Deaf children and young people, and the opportunities sign language education offers them.
Worldwide, Deaf children and young people are often denied an education, including in sign language. There is a lack of teachers well-trained in sign language, and in many cases parents do not know that their children have a right to go to school and that they can learn if only given the opportunity.
“Sign language is critical for Deaf people to be able to communicate, express themselves, and learn,” said Shantha Rau Barriga, disability rights director at Human Rights Watch. “Depriving Deaf people of the opportunity to learn sign language can condemn them to devastating isolation.”
Hundreds of Deaf people, their families, government officials, and disability experts have gathered in Sydney for a major conference on October 16-18 organized by the World Federation of the Deaf.
Human Rights Watch documented cases of Deaf children and young people in Nepal, China, and northern Uganda who were denied their right to education in sign language. Some Deaf children and young people interviewed did not attend school at all. Teachers and parents often have the misconception that Deaf children lack the intellectual capacity to learn.
A Deaf teacher featured in the video told Human Rights Watch: “Our disability only affects our hearing, not our minds. A Deaf child’s mind is as good as a hearing child’s mind.” ... Read more: http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/10/17/offer-deaf-children-education-sign-language

Deaf Students Protest Coach’s Replacement
EXCLUSIVE California School for the Deaf students protest coach’s replacement.
RIVERSIDE, CA - At least 90 teenagers at California School for the Deaf, Riverside, left morning classes Thursday, Oct. 31, to protest the replacement of the high school boys’ basketball coach.
Students demonstrated outside the gym over what they said was the forced resignation of coach Jeremias Valencia and the hiring of former coach David Hamilton.
“We don’t want him to be our coach,” 11th grader Miranda Murphy wrote. “We’re trying to get Jeremias back.”
The California Department of Education issued a statement from Riverside campus Superintendent Mal Grossinger.
“I can appreciate that the students in question feel strongly about who serves as their basketball coach, but this is ultimately a personnel decision that had to be made by administrators,” Grossinger said. “We will continue to encourage the students to return to class and discuss more constructive ways to share their views.”
Students had painted a banner saying “We want Coach V. back” and hung it on the chain link fence that faces Arlington Avenue along with other signs protesting the coach’s being replaced. ... Read more: http://blog.pe.com/high-schools/2013/10/31/riverside-deaf-students-protest-coachs-replacement/

Deaf Sex Predator Jailed For Probation Violation
EXCLUSIVE Released sex predator straight back in jail for breaching his parole after he had posed online as a young woman.
CHRISTCHURCH, NZ - (Stuff.co.nz) - An online sex predator has lasted just one week after his release from prison before ending up straight back in custody for contacting one of his victims by text message.
Cameron Stuart Hore, 30, was released on bail on October 22 but pleaded guilty to a charge of breaching his parole before Judge Murray Hunt in the Christchurch District Court today.
Judge Hunt remanded him to next Thursday for sentence on the breach charge, but in the meantime the Probation Service would be applying for his recall to prison anyway.
Craig Ruane appeared as defence counsel for today's appearance.
Hore was jailed for four years and one month on July 4, 2012, after being held for a long time in custody on remand on 12 charges which he eventually admitted.
He had posed online as a young woman named Sarah Ruddenklau - including posting a picture of a young woman - to carry out sexual exploitation of his young victims.
He was sentenced in the High Court on two charges of blackmail, two of obtaining credit by deception, and eight of sexual exploitation or attempted sexual exploitation.
Hore is Deaf and a sign language interpreters helped him in court today.
The victims were found after police seized Hore's computer after a complaint and analysed just one month of the the 9306 chat logs accumulated over 15 months from September 2009 to November 2010. Nine of the 14 victims traced from that month were willing to talk to the police.
Crown prosecutor Pip Currie said then it had been premeditated and planned offending using false identities to obtain personal details.
The offending occurred on the Internet, and by text, and there was sexual offending on occasions when face-to-face contact occurred. ... Read more: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/9347561/Released-sex-predator-straight-back-in-jail

Courtroom Sign Language Prohibited Raise Concerns
EXCLUSIVE Maryland courtroom sign language restrictions raise concerns. Only the official interpreters and trial participants are allowed to use ASL and gesture.
JESSUP, MD - A judge in the trial of a Deaf man is prohibiting signing among the audience, a move that has raised concerns among some in the Deaf community.
Clarence Taylor III, who is Deaf, is accused of inappropriately touching Maryland School for the Deaf students when he was a student life counselor and dormitory aide at the school's Columbia campus. MSD also has a campus in Frederick.
Judge William Tucker of Howard County Circuit Court prohibited signs and "facial gestures" among spectators at Taylor's trial, according to a report from Capital News Service.
Only the four official courtroom interpreters and trial participants communicating with them will be allowed to sign and gesture in the courtroom.
Some advocates for the Deaf took issue with the way the decision singled out American Sign Language.
Howard A. Rosenblum, CEO of the National Association of the Deaf, said in a statement that the NAD understands the need to preserve order in the courtroom, but any restriction on communication needs to be applied evenly in any language to all spectators.
"The judge's order in this case appears to impose restrictions solely on Deaf and Hard of Hearing spectators and is unacceptable," he said.
David Martin, an assistant professor who manages ASL studies at Frederick Community College, is an MSD alumnus and has been following the trial.
He said that it would be difficult for a deaf person to avoid making gestures.
“From my perspective, you know, with a Deaf person, It's going to be a challenge for a Deaf person to have no expressions and no signing,” Martin said through an ASL interpreter.
Still, Martin said the judge's decision was fair as long as hearing people were subject to the same restrictions. ... Read more: http://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/crime_and_justice/courts/article_fbb73837-446e-5ce5-965f-c375c6542ef5.html
