Parents like these are to be shot .
Story:
CNN — The parents of an 8-year-old Liberian girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by four boys in July were arrested Friday on child abuse charges, according to Arizona police.
The father, 59, and mother, 47, were arrested Friday in Phoenix on seven counts of child abuse, said police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill. Police were waiting for them at their home after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office issued the warrants.
The names of the parents have been withheld by CNN to avoid identifying the daughter, who is an alleged rape victim.
The child abuse investigation was based on documented incidents from the Phoenix Police Department and numerous referrals to Arizona Child Protective Services dating to 2005.
Police said the parents, refugees from the West African nation, used sticks, wires and their fists to hit their young daughter.
Witnesses told CNN affiliate KTVK that the parents left their daughter wandering their apartment complex alone at night, begging for food.

Details of the girl’s assault last summer shocked the nation. She was allegedly lured to a storage shed, pinned down and gang-raped by four boys, none of them older than 14.
The parents said they felt they had been shamed by their child and blamed her for being victimized. As a result, the girl was taken from her home and placed in state custody.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said at the time that the parents’ reaction was wrong and that they needed counseling.

Exposure to chemical in plastic linked to sexual dysfunction.
When shall we learn to respect Nature?
By using all these products which are basically unnecessary,if yu think deeply,we spilur Health and Nature.
Story:
Exposure to high levels of Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical compound found in baby bottles and plastic containers, increases the risk of
male sexual dysfunction, according to a new study.Previous animal studies had shown that BPA had a negative impact on mice and rats, but the study published Wednesday in the journal Human Reproduction was the first to examine its effects on male reproductive systems in humans.
The study examined 634 workers in factories in China over a five year period, comparing workers in facilities that produced BPA with those in facilities where the chemical compound was not present.
“The study found that the workers in the BPA facilities had quadruple the risk of erectile dysfunction, and seven times more risk of ejaculation difficulty,” the study said.
The levels of BPA in the Chinese facilities were 50 times higher than what an American male faces in US factories, and it was not known what the effect of lower levels of exposure might be.
“This study raises the question: Is there a safe level for BPA exposure, and what is that level?” said De-Kun Li, an epidemiologist with Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif, and a lead author of the study.
“More studies like this, which examine the effect of BPA on humans, are critically needed to help establish prevention strategies and regulatory policies,” he said.
BPA is used in the production of polycarbonated plastics and epoxy resins found in baby bottles, plastic containers, the lining of cans used for food and beverages, and in dental sealants.
A 2008 study by toxicologists at the National Institutes for Health found that the substance could affect the development of the brains of fetuses and newborns.
In March, the six biggest US manufacturers of baby bottles decided to stop selling products containing BPA in the United States, and US lawmakers introduced legislation to ban food containers with BPA.
French health minister Roselyne Bachelot, nevertheless, said in March that reliable studies had concluded that baby bottles made with BPA were harmless.

Claims of sex abuse by women grow-BBC News
Repulsive and shocking.As has been observed in the story, many do not complain because of the stigma attached to the family as well.It would be of interest to have a study carried out on abuse of Husbands and in laws by women, as I am sure would reveal more shocking news.
Where are feminists and civil rights organisations?
Had males have been reported as offenders, we would have had these selfstyled saviours screaming.
Story:
A huge rise in the number of children calling to report sexual abuse by women has been revealed by ChildLine.Over the past five years, the charity says the number of such calls has risen five times faster than youngsters reporting abuse by a man.
Of 16,094 children who called ChildLine about sex abuse last year, 2,142 told of abuse by a woman, up 132% on 2004-5.
Men still account for the majority of child abuse claims, but the NSPCC said female sex abuse was under-reported.
This is because there is a reluctance or unwillingness on the part of professionals to acknowledge or identify sexual abuse by females, the charity suggested.
Many would find it shocking that any woman – let alone a mother – can sexually assault a child
Sue MintoNSPCCThe ChildLine research said nearly two-thirds (1,311) of the claims it received about sex abuse by a female involved the child’s mother.

Gender Equality-A Myth.
Gender equality is an Utopian dream.Men and women have different functions as they have been endowed differently , both physically and mentally.
Basic question is what is special about equality with men?To attempt something for which you are not meant for is foolish just as men can not have the unique status of motherhood.If by equality is meant equal opportunities with men in terms of profession,emoluments it is allright.But to demand equality in whatevr men do is self defeating.
