Vegan Mother Charged With Endangerment For Feeding 11-Month Old Baby Only Berries And Nuts Leading To Malnutrition

30-year-old,  Elizabeth Hawk, has been arrested in Farmington, Pennsylvania, for child endangerment. Hawk has been charged with a misdemeanor. Hawk is a vegan who only fed her 11-month-old baby berries and nuts. Hawk's baby boy was covered in a rash from head to toe. 

Hawk's estranged husband, Jerry Hawk, took the baby to Fayette County Children and Youth Services for assistance, as the infant was suffering from malnutrition, due to being fed a poor diet. The baby is suffering from developmental impairments, such as the inability to crawl or use his hands. This is irresponsibility parenting and not a model to be emulated. Hawk is an extreme vegan who sought to live off, "Sunlight and water."

It is crucial that pregnant women receive the proper nutrition and have safe, stress free pregnancies, with the goal of delivering healthy babies. It is also imperative that once babies are born infants receive the  proper nutrition. Malnutrition negatively impacts physical growth, emotional development, weakens the immune system and diminishes the child's IQ.

Nursing a baby via feeding the infant breast milk for the first 6-months of life is ideal. Breast milk is the best. Once children are able to eat solid food, steaming fresh vegetables such as diced carrots, green peas (among others) and pairing it with small servings of baked (or boiled), diced chicken breast are a good source of nutrition (as well as small servings of fresh fruit). Don't feed babies and toddlers junk food.

Vegans can substitute chicken with properly cooked (very soft) beans (black beans, butter beans/lima beans). I don't think children should be given tofu. I don't even think it is great for adults. Parents should also be careful feeding babies and toddlers nuts, as they may have an allergy and it could also present a choking hazard.

Infant and toddler health

Solid foods are a big step for a baby. Find out when and how to make the transition from breast milk or formula to solid foods. Giving your baby his or her first taste of solid food is a major milestone. Here's what you need to know before your baby takes that first bite. Is your baby ready for solid foods? 

Breast milk or formula is the only food your newborn needs, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months after birth. But by ages 4 months to 6 months, most babies are ready to begin eating solid foods as a complement to breast-feeding or formula-feeding. It's during this time that babies typically stop using their tongues to push food out of their mouths and begin to develop the coordination to move solid food from the front of the mouth to the back for swallowing. 

In addition to age, look for other signs that your baby is ready for solid foods. For example: 

Can your baby hold his or her head in a steady, upright position?

Can your baby sit with support?

Is your baby mouthing his or her hands or toys?

Is your baby interested in what you're eating?

If you answer yes to these questions and your baby's doctor agrees, you can begin supplementing your baby's liquid diet.

What to serve when

Continue feeding your baby breast milk or formula — up to 32 ounces a day. Then: 

Start simple. Offer single-ingredient foods that contain no sugar or salt, and wait three to five days between each new food. This way if your baby has a reaction — such as diarrhea, rash or vomiting — you'll know the cause. After introducing single-ingredient foods, you can offer them in combination.
Important nutrients. Iron and zinc are important nutrients in the second half of your baby's first year. These nutrients are found in pureed meats and single-grain, iron-fortified cereal. Beans, lentils or other culturally acceptable foods might also be appropriate.

Baby cereal basics. Mix 1 tablespoon of a single-grain, iron-fortified baby cereal with 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) of breast milk or formula. Don't serve it from a bottle. Instead, help your baby sit upright and offer the cereal with a small spoon once or twice a day. Serve one or two teaspoons after a bottle- or breast-feeding. Once your baby gets the hang of swallowing runny cereal, mix it with less liquid and gradually increase the amount you offer. Offer a variety of single-grain cereals such as rice, oatmeal or barley. Avoid offering only rice cereal due to possible exposure to arsenic.

Add vegetables and fruits. Continue gradually introducing single-ingredient foods that contain no sugar or salt. Start with pureed vegetables and then offer fruits. Wait three to five days between each new food. Offer finely chopped finger foods. By ages 8 months to 10 months, most babies can handle small portions of finely chopped finger foods, such as soft fruits, vegetables, pasta, cheese, well-cooked meat, baby crackers and dry cereal. As your baby approaches age 1, offer your baby three meals a day — as well as snacks — with mashed or chopped versions of whatever you're eating...

Producer The Dream Arrested For Felony Domestic Violence In Beating Up His Pregnant Girlfriend

The Dream and then girlfriend Lydia Nam

Music producer and rapper, The Dream, real name Terrius Nash, was arrested by police for beating up his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Lydia Nam. Police detained the so-called music producer in New York. He has been charged with two felonies and three misdemeanors for punching, kicking and strangling Nam, who was pregnant with his son. Nam telephoned police to report she was attacked by the rage filled entertainer.

Dream was married to singers Christina Milian and Niveah, neither of whom he treated well. Chronic copyright infringer Dream, even bragged in one incident on videotape that he was on his way to have sex with Rihanna, who was dating Chris Brown at the time. Rihanna and the Dream have stolen copyrighted music for work they did together.

Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Recommends Justin Bieber Be Charged With Felony Vandalism Which Could Lead To Deportation

Justin Bieber: deport me over some eggs? (LOL)

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is recommending the local district attorney charge pop star Justin Bieber with felony vandalism, after he egged his neighbor's mansion in Calabasas, California. Bieber's neighbor called the police and reported an estimated $20,000 in damage to his property due to the egging.

Some of you are probably thinking was "the Sixteenth Chapel" (as Bieber would say), pardon me, the Sistine Chapel on his neighbors walls/ceiling, for the damages to hit $20,000. However, Bieber's neighbor is stating the paint and plaster job was a costly one and the eggs the pop star threw at the surface stained the finish. If Bieber's neighbor and the police can prove a paint and plaster repair job will run more than $500, it's an easy felony. Bieber also stands accused of trespassing on his neighbor's property.

If an immigrant is convicted of a felony in America, there exists a high probability of deportation and the inability to return to the United States, due to being barred from the country. As the incident was caught on tape, pleading not guilty is a stretch. However, Bieber's legal team will most likely dispute the cost of the damage done to his neighbor's property, attempting to have the charges reduced to misdemeanors (damage under $500). As a general legal rule, immigrants are not deported for misdemeanors. 

Will rapper Lil Za become Lil Zesty in jail

In related news, Bieber's housemate, rapper Lil Za, has been charged with three felonies, in conjunction with a police raid on the star's home after the egging incident. Two counts are for drug possession (marijuana and ecstasy) and the third is for breaking a phone, once Za was in police custody at the local jail. He is facing 9-years in jail.

Previously, a neighbor accused Bieber of spitting in his face and threatening him, for telling the star not to speed in The Oaks gated community they reside, where children also play. Bieber also had a confrontation with former football star Keyshawn Johnson, who sternly spoke to him over repeatedly speeding in the gated community.

That's not Bieber's only speeding issue. Bieber's Miami criminal trial for DUI, drag racing and driving on a invalid license begins in March. Bieber, via his local legal counsel, has pled not guilty to the three misdemeanor charges. Bieber is also facing criminal charges in his native Canada for repeatedly hitting a limo driver in the head, after he pushed Bieber's hand away when the singer tried to reach over from the back seat to turn up the radio against the chauffeur's wishes. 

Once again, the Judiciary Report highly recommends an extensive rehab program for Bieber, who is also dealing with emotional and mental issues, after being exploited as a child star. He is in need of therapy to help him through this difficult time in his life or things are going to get much worse.

Petition To Deport Justin Bieber Sent To White House As It Hits 100,000 Signatures Requiring A Response From President Obama

Justin Bieber

A petition filed a week ago beseeching the White House to deport Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has hit the required 100,000 signatures to evoke a response from U.S. President Barack Obama. Thus far, none of Bieber’s legal issues are of the level that would warrant deportation, as one has to commit a serious felony to be deported as an immigrant. However, the White House, under its own rules, is compelled to respond.

Bieber's fans have started a petition to plea against any possible deportation of the singer. However, it's not picking up speed. As of the time this article was written and posted online, there are only 3,000 signatures against deporting Bieber. He has so many followers on Twitter, which makes it odd more of his fans haven't signed the petition.

Chris Brown Felony Assault Charges Reduced To Misdemeanor

The Charges Need To Be Dropped

R&B singer Chris Brown was in court in Washington, DC today to answer felony assault charges, in connection with a fight that occurred outside the W Hotel. Two men photobombed a picture Brown was taking with two female fans and then attempted to board his tour bus, which is unlawful trespassing.

Brown's attorney Danny Onorato stated, "Christopher Brown committed no crime. We understand that his security acted to protect Mr. Brown and his property, as he is authorized to do under District of Columbia law. We are confident that Mr. Brown will be exonerated of any wrongdoing."

Brown and his bodyguard Chris Hollosy acted in a manner to defend themselves from potential injury and to eject the intruder, Isaac Adams Parker, 20. During the fracas, Parker of Maryland, was punched in the face. Brown pled not guilty to the charge. It was stated his bodyguard punched the trespasser, who accused the singer of making a homophobic comment, which he denies. The initial police report had stated Brown's bodyguard threw the punch, but for some reason it was changed to say the singer did it.

Police outside the W Hotel in Washington, DC where the incident occurred 

Brown has made homophobic comments in the past, but this story makes no sense. For Brown to just up and state "I'm not into that gay s***. I'm into boxing" is odd. Furthermore, it's not homophobic to state one is not into gay sex. After all, a gay person is allowed to state they are not into straight sex.

It appears as though Brown was propositioned by a man, who had illegally entered his tour bus. Under the law he had a right to defend himself and his property. What security conscious male entertainer would allow a complete stranger, another male, who could be armed and dangerous, to just hop on their tour bus and remain. That's a massive security risk.

If a man had trespassed on a female singer's tour bus and been punched in the face for it, the trespasser would have been immediately arrested, with no charges filed against the woman. There should not be a double standard in this regard.

The aforementioned is not normal behavior. Fans have stood next to tour buses. That's not considered strange, but entering without permission as these two men did is illegal. The two men approached Brown with an agenda. It appears as though they followed him. They were there to start trouble and certainly did in a regrettable way.

Chris Brown during a previous court date

Why photobomb the two female fans' picture, ruining their moment, when they don't know you and you are not famous. Can you imagine them showing people they know the photo and repeatedly being asked "Who are those two guys in the photo?" and having to explain that whole mess. What would their boyfriends have said (had this story not gone public).

As stated previously in the column, I don't know Brown personally, but he tracked me down twice in Miami. I assumed it was due to my columns and the fact me and his label Sony Music are on terrible terms due to acts of copyright infringement by the label - much like Sony had done to my godmother's husband, the late Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, the founder of reggae music.

Brown wasn't aggressive, belligerent or angry. He was jumpy, somewhat nervous and just kept staring at me both times he tracked me down in the neighborhood I used to live, which concerned me. However, the Brown I saw is not reconciling with the one being painted as a person that just jumps up and attacks people he encounters. Twice he had the opportunity to attack or curse at me, but he didn't.

When Brown gets into violent confrontations with people, there's always a trigger and people know how to push his buttons to get the incendiary results they want. As I've repeatedly stated, Brown has vicious enemies in Hollywood, who want to see him locked up and will pay people to bring about those results. 

As I've also repeatedly stated, Brown needs a break from the industry. Certain industry people are setting him up. Next thing you know, someone is going to lie and cry rape. They've done it to others like Tupac. Some women are genuinely raped and my heart goes out to them, but some cry wolf for various inexcusable reasons.

Demi Moore And Bruce Willis Daughter Scout Willis Arrested For Underage Drinking And Using Fake ID

     

Scout Willis

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' creepy looking 20-year-old daughter Scout Willis was arrested for underage drinking in a New York subway. When approached by police officers, Willis gave them a fake name and fake ID to match, which is illegal. She was arrested on two misdemeanors. 

Demi Moore's strange kids

Is it just me or do the Willis girls look a bit strange. I remember Media Take Out running an article stating they look scary and strange and for once I have to agree with the site. Their odd, creepy expressions look like "Children of the Corn."

Kabbalah member Demi Moore

Maybe if arrogant, obsessive Ms. Moore spent more time with her troubled daughter and less time embarrassing the U.S. government in international circles with her cult's appalling human rights abuses in trying to insanely file a lawsuit against, stalk, terrorize, racially slur, rob of very valuable copyrights and claw at an international immigrant and her elderly mother, for said immigrant exercising the American and Western right to free speech online, her wayward child would not be in this predicament. It's amazing how the police spotted Scout in a crowded subway to arrest her (sarcasm). Something to think about Demi...
