Dec 26, 2012	Are We Born With a Sense of Fairness? Does fairness come standard with every newborn, or is it something that we (hopefully) develop as we mature? QUOTE: Given the role of variability in the evolution of fairness, we thought it would be instructive to investigate at what age variability in the sense of fairness develops in children.	Pacific Standard
Feb 09, 2012	Education Gap Grows Between Rich and Poor, Studies Say QUOTE: Education was historically considered a great equalizer in American society, capable of lifting less advantaged children and improving their chances for success as adults....while the achievement gap between white and black students has narrowed significantly over the past few decades, the gap between rich and poor students has grown substantially during the same period.	New York Times
Nov 29, 2011	Why we get mad at our husbands QUOTE: We love our husbands -- but we're mad that we spend more mental energy on the details of parenting. We're mad that having children has turned our lives upside down much more than theirs. We're mad that these guys, who can manage businesses or keep track of thousands of pieces of sports trivia, can be clueless when it comes to what our kids are eating and what supplies they need for school. And more than anything else, we're mad that they get more time to themselves than we do.	CNN (Cable News Network)
Nov 11, 2011	When does spanking become abuse? QUOTE: Spanking impressionable children may reduce undesirable behavior in the short term.

Sep 21, 2011	Tradition forces girls into prostitution QUOTE: Under the devdasi system, girls were dedicated to a life of sex work in the name of religion...Gradually, this gave way to a life of prostitution....It's an area of extreme poverty – so sending a daughter into the sex business is seen as a way for parents to unburden themselves of a child -and, it's lucrative.	CNN (Cable News Network)
Apr 19, 2011	Parents, don't dress your girls like tramps QUOTE: Abercrombie & Fitch came under fire this spring for introducing the "Ashley," a push-up bra for girls who normally are too young to have anything to push up… It's easy to blast companies for introducing the sexy wear, but our ire really should be directed at the parents who think low rise jeans for a second grader is cute.	CNN (Cable News Network)
Apr 14, 2011	Should teens make circumcision decision? QUOTE: "Why not wait to do the procedure until a time when it has an impact and when the person you're doing it to can give consent…” Babies receive no stitches, and get either no anesthetic or a local anesthetic, depending on who's doing the procedure.

Feb 02, 2011	Shaken-Baby Syndrome Faces New Questions in Court QUOTE: “No one wants child abuse,” says Keith Findley, a lawyer for the Wisconsin Innocence Project. “But we should not be prosecuting and convicting people in shaken-baby cases right now, based on the triad of symptoms, without other evidence of abuse.

New York Times

CNN (Cable News Network)
May 24, 2010	For Children in Sports, a Breaking Point QUOTE: Encouraged by parents and coaches, many with visions of glory and scholarships, too many young athletes are being pushed — or are pushing themselves — to the point of breaking down, physically and sometimes emotionally.	New York Times
Oct 07, 2009	Group Resists Korean Stigma for Unwed Mothers QUOTE: Yet each year, [South Korean] social pressure drives thousands of unmarried women to choose between abortion, which is illegal but rampant, and adoption, which is considered socially shameful but is encouraged by the government.

New York Times
Sep 02, 2008	A New Twist in the Debate on Mothers QUOTE: as mothers across the country supervise the season’s final water fights and pack book bags, some have voiced the kind of doubts that few male pundits have dared raise on television. With five children, including an infant with Down syndrome and, as the country learned Monday, a pregnant 17-year-old, Ms. Palin has set off a fierce argument among women about whether there are enough hours in the day for her to take on the vice presidency, and whether she is right to try.

Feb 24, 2008	A Case of a Family Services Job Well Done, or Overdone? QUOTE: ...[a] Georgetown couple is convinced that their names are not being removed from the city's child protection registry largely because of the District's embarrassment over the Jacks case.

But they say the case went off the rails when city lawyers continued to press abuse allegations even after the judge found no cause to proceed.	Washington Post
Jan 20, 2008	Murder Case Tests Limits on Parents’ Right to Hit QUOTE: Parents in all 50 states are allowed to hit their children...There are limits, of course, on what is allowed.
