Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, of South Africa, has invented a female condom with ‘teeth’ in an attempt to thwart rape in that country. South Africa has one of the highest rape rates world-wide, and very few convictions. Justice for a victim is rare, indeed.
Ehlers’ had to sell her home and car to fund the anti-rape project that some are calling a medieval device. The female condom contains jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside, and is inserted in the woman like a tampon.

HUNTER police dealt with almost 40 child abuse victims every week last year but experts warn the figures are “just a drop in the ocean” because most offences against children go unreported.The statistics, prepared exclusively for The Herald by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, show that while Lake Macquarie records the highest number of child assault and sexual assault cases, big increases are being reported in the Upper Hunter.
Drug abuse, soaring temperatures and a sagging economy are cited as factors in recent child abuse cases in the area.
In the past two weeks, there have been 23 children taken into state custody because of allegations of abuse or neglect in Bowie and Cass counties alone.

In ancient times before cell phones, texting and other multi-tasks put safe driving in the back seat for too many people, we were often warned about leaving pets in a locked car on a hot day. But these days, even small children who are already in the back seat can be subjected to such dangerous indifference by distracted drivers who leave them in a car.Across America, children are dying because parents or guardians who are in too big of a hurry or too much of a multi-tasking fog forget and leave them locked in a car as temperatures climb toward 100 degrees. Such a sad child death happened again Sunday in St. Augustine, Fla. Don’t let it happen on any day to the child for whom you are utterly responsible.
