Tulsa, OK — Meredith Howard, a teacher’s aide at the John Knox Child Development Center, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of felony child abuse by injury for two separate incidents that occurred at two separate day care facilities more than two years apart. According to police, Howard has been on administrative leave since Thursday after being accused of digitally penetrating the vagina of a 19-month-old child at John Knox. Howard told police the child began squirming during a diaper change, and well…she may have accidentally slipped the kid a knuckle.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — Schools in the nation’s sixth-largest school district were on lockdown Wednesday, and police in bullet-proof vests guarded at least some entrances after authorities said an unidentified woman called a radio station, saying her husband might go to a school and start shooting. Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Daniel Rakofsky said an earlier e-mail to the radio station, maybe from the man in question, said “something big was going to happen,” possibly at a post office or a school. Schools in Pembroke Pines, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, were initially placed on lockdown as a precaution. The lockdown was then extended to all 300 Broward County schools. The county has nearly 257,000 students.

San Antonio, TX – Police say 28-year-old Leonard Ortiz is being held on $100,000 bond after a woman reportedly caught him in the act of molesting her 7-year-old daughter. The woman told police she was showering Saturday afternoon, when she popped out of the bathroom to retrieve a bottle of shampoo. It was then, she said, that she happened to see Ortiz laying on top of her child. She ordered him off the kiddo and asked if he had been having sex with the child. Ortiz denied having sexual intercourse with the girl, but admitted to “rubbing against” her on at least two occasions. According to the child, though, it went much further than a dry hump and it has been a somewhat regular occurrence over the past two years.

MOUNT PLEASANT MILLS, PA – The parents of a 14-year-old who committed suicide last week say it was the end result of the bullying he suffered at school and now they want to make other parents aware of it. Last Friday, Brandon Bitner left his home in the middle of the night, walked six miles and stepped into the path of a tractor trailer.  Britner left a note to his parents asking that they find the strength not to let this happen to anyone else. His mother says Brandon suffered verbal abuse at school where he targeted for his emo lifestyle and soft-spoken manner. She blames the school for not stopping it.

Thousands of convicted sex offenders are evading state and federal authorities, congregating in regions thought to have lax enforcement, slipping back and forth to Mexico or disregarding laws on reporting their whereabouts. As states and federal authorities stitch together a national system for overseeing America’s 700,000 convicted sex offenders, they face a sobering challenge: Locating the estimated 100,000 sex offenders who aren’t saying where they are.

State and local authorities, working with the U.S. Marshals Service, are conducting sex offender sweeps, checking old addresses and hunting down the absconds. Often times, officials say, the offenders are where they have been along — they’ve just fallen behind on paperwork. But sometimes not.
