A Houston, Texas, mother said her "worst nightmare" was realized recently when she learned that someone had hacked into a webcam positioned in her two daughters' bedroom and had been streaming their private goings-on live online for thousands to watch.

"We have security cameras to protect them," said Jennifer, a mother of three who asked that ABC News not use her last name. "I feel like I've failed. ... People are watching my kids in their home, dressing, sleeping, playing."

She told ABC News today that she found out about the live stream when a friend informed her that someone had posted a picture of the girls' room on a Houston mothers' group on Facebook in an effort to track down the family and warn them. The post belonged to Shelby Ivie, another mother more than 2,000 miles away in Oregon, who had made the shocking discovery Sunday. "I was in tears, thinking of the violation [Jennifer] must feel," Ivie told ABC News today.

Ivie, a mother of two in Keizer, Oregon, told ABC News today that last weekend she and her son were looking at satellite images of Earth online. As she searched for additional live satellite feeds, she came across the free app Live Camera Viewer, which she then downloaded.

Comment: Kudos to Shelby Ivie for her efforts!

Bill Clinton sexual assault accusers unite against NBC's whitewashing of his dirty deeds

Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones, both of whom have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault, are standing up for Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick.

Willey and Jones are demanding that NBC News Anchor Andrea Mitchell issue a public apology for baselessly calling Broaddrick "discredited" during a segment that aired May 19 on the highly-rated Today Show.

Following a letter from Broaddrick's attorney demanding a retraction, NBC deleted the "discredited" referenced from the Internet version of Mitchell's report. But NBC has not fulfilled Broaddrick's request, which she says was communicated in the letter, for an apology from Mitchell on the Today Show, as well as an acknowledgement on the show and on NBC's website that there is no information indicating that Broaddrick's story is untrue.

Comment: Bill Clinton's sexual escapades and rape allegations extend way beyond Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones.

The war on drugs: How it makes people eat faces, stab people to death

The news that 19-year-old Florida State University student Austin Harrouff stabbed two strangers to death, and then proceeded to bite chunks of a deceased victim's face off, seems too bizarre to believe - unless you've heard of the drug flakka.

When police arrived, "It was an impossible task to get him off of the victim." A Taser had no effect, nor did a police dog. It took multiple cops and several minutes of fighting with "every bit of strength" to pry Harrouff, who was a football player and wrestler, from the face-eating bear hug he had on the dead man.

Harrouff was making "animal-like" noises when he was transported to the hospital, and could die of "sustained trauma" from officers or a drug overdose. Toxicology reports will confirm whether flakka was in his system, but Martin County Sheriff William Snyder says he would not be surprised.

"When you see a case like this where someone is biting off pieces of somebody's face, could it be flakka?" Snyder said. "The answer is it absolutely could be a flakka case."

Flakka, a synthetic drug similar to bath salts, has taken off in popularity in South Florida over the past few years. It causes delirium and the feeling of superhuman strength, and is known to cause extremely bizarre behavior - including a 17-year-old girl "running down a street naked, covered in blood and screaming, "I am God! I am Satan!"

Shootout in Chicago: Cops release footage of carjacker take-down

Chicago police have released video of a shootout with a carjacking suspect, in which one officer was injured. The swiftly released footage comes shortly after the controversial death of black teenager Paul O'Neal, also during a stolen car chase.

Dashboard camera footage, released Wednesday, shows the Tuesday evening pursuit of a stolen vehicle in the southern suburb of Roseland. At one point, the driver of the stolen SUV points a gun out of the window and fires at the police cruiser several times. One of the pursuing officers was grazed by a bullet to the head, and can be heard yelling in the video.

"These police officers face this kind of thing every single day," Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters at the police headquarters Wednesday. The suspect in the case is "the perfect example of what we've been saying. The same guys committing the same crimes over and over again," Johnson said."This guy doesn't believe we're serious. Law enforcement is being scrutinized all over the country for everything they do but they didn't run away from this, they ran to it."

French official advises Muslims to practice 'discretion'; Twitter riducule ensues

A French official who said "the advice I give [to Muslims] in these difficult times...is that of discretion" has prompted ridicule online. The official is running to be the head of a government body tackling Muslim matters.

Most people resorted to jokes to show the authorities how absurd they felt the statement was, and the hashtag #MusulmanDiscret (the Discreet Muslim) started trending on Twitter.

Comment: Sounds like Chevènement wants Muslims to be so discreet that they disappear, never to disturb the delicate sensibilities of so-called civilized people ever again.

No surprise: 'Fox and Friends' blame the victim during Milwaukee police killings protest coverage

Protestors march during disturbances following the police shooting of a man in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Fox News Channel and other conservative outlets have ramped up their "blame the victim" strategy during this week's coverage of the rebellion in Milwaukee following the killing of a black man at the hands of police.

Launched after the death of Trayvon Martin and used as a tactic during the Ferguson rebellion in Missouri, victim-blaming has been criticized by the #BlackLivesMatter movement and other activists fully aware of what the right-wing media is trying to achieve.

Speaking on Fox and Friends, white co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked white Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker if black people were justified in being upset at white people since the officer who shot 23-year-old Sylville Smith dead was black, all the while referring to protesters with the incendiary "R" word.

"Are rioters ignoring the facts about this entire case?" she asks.

Fox, along with websites like Breitbart, has been dragging the victim's name through the mud, publishing an article online in which they rehash allegations from 2014 that Smith coerced a victim to recant a story relating to a gun charge against him.

Comment: Fox News is adept at downplaying the enormous injustice perpetrated by armed police thugs towards unarmed, poor, mostly black people.

Beloved dog dies after shielding baby from fire

Fri, 19 Aug 2016 16:37 UTC

The lives of a Baltimore family were changed forever this week when a fire suddenly broke out in the home Erika Poremski shared with her eight-month-old daughter, Viviana, and her nearly six-year-old dog, Polo.

Poremski says she had just stepped out to her car when she turned around and discovered her house in flames with Viviana and Polo still inside.

"I tried to keep getting in," Poremski told CBS News. "She was up the stairs, but the fire smoke was so heavy I couldn't get past it... I kept running back out and back in, trying to get up there. Then, the door curling started falling and I couldn't get back in."

Poremski suffered burns on her hands and face from the various attempts to get into the house and rescue Viviana.

She told CBS News that, in all of her panic and the chaos of the blaze, she couldn't "see all the skin was off my hand from grabbing the rail and it melted off."

Casual sex in the US is not just for college kids - website finds everyone is doing it

Zhana Vrangalova had hit a problem. On a blustery day in early spring, sitting in a small coffee shop near the campus of New York University, where she is an adjunct professor of psychology, she was unable to load onto her laptop the Web site that we had met to discuss. This was not a technical malfunction on her end; rather, the site had been blocked. Vrangalova, who is thirty-four, with a dynamic face framed by thick-rimmed glasses, has spent the past decade researching human sexuality, and, in particular, the kinds of sexual encounters that occur outside the norms of committed relationships.

The Web site she started in 2014, casualsexproject.com, began as a small endeavor fuelled by personal referrals, but has since grown to approximately five thousand visitors a day, most of whom arrive at the site through organic Internet searches or referrals through articles and social media. To date, there have been some twenty-two hundred submissions, about evenly split between genders, each detailing the kinds of habits that, when spelled out, can occasionally alert Internet security filters. The Web site was designed to open up the discussion of one-night stands and other less-than-traditional sexual behaviors. What makes us engage in casual sex? Do we enjoy it? Does it benefit us in any way—or, perhaps, might it harm us? And who, exactly, is "us," anyway?

Up to eighty per cent of college students report engaging in sexual acts outside committed relationships—a figure that is usually cast as the result of increasingly lax social mores, a proliferation of alcohol-fuelled parties, and a potentially violent frat culture. Critics see the high rates of casual sex as an "epidemic" of sorts that is taking over society as a whole. Hookup culture, we hear, is demeaning women and wreaking havoc on our ability to establish stable, fulfilling relationships.

Journalist who voted twice to expose Brexit electoral fraud is investigated for electoral fraud

Illustration picture of postal ballot papers

A journalist who claims he cast his ballot twice in Britain's EU referendum to expose "how lax the voting rules are" has been reported to police for alleged electoral fraud.

Charles Moore, the former Daily Telegraph editor, said he sought to expose security flaws in the voting system. Writing in the Spectator magazine, he said he was able to vote once in Sussex and a second time in London, where he spoiled his ballot.

"In Sussex, I went to the polling station early. I took my polling card, which is not compulsory, and asked the clerk what the significance of the barcode on it was," Moore wrote.

"He had no idea, so presumably it has no security function (or the clerks are poorly trained). I voted to leave the European Union.

"Then I caught the train to London, where I went to my local polling station. There I presented my London polling card, unchallenged. I went into the booth and wrote on the ballot paper 'I am spoiling my ballot because I have already voted. This second vote is my protest at how lax the voting rules are.'"

LPR head claims over 95% of citizens returned to Donbass

More than 95% of citizens who fled the conflict have already returned to the self-proclaimed Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics after reconstruction, LPR head Igor Plotnitsky said on Friday.

"We have restored schools, social facilities, infrastructure, railways and industry. Today all this is working," Plotnitsky was quoted by the LuganskInformCenter as saying.

The citizens are returning to the republics as they "see the difference" between the conditions there and in the territory controlled by the Kiev authorities, he said. "This shows that people have not just come back home, they trust us."
