Risk assessment in familycaught!!!!!!!!!!

Wed 20th May 2009:

Risk assessment is challenging, but is fast being put onto a reasonably scientific basis, in the real world, based on learning from past examples. This is NOT rocket science, just common sense!!!!

Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem

Tue 12th May 2009:

The United States is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father. Today, an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.

In The NZ News, Week 19, 2009

Wed 6th May 2009:

Two 15-year-old schoolboys commit suicide within a week of each other, and police are investigating whether text or internet bullying contributed to their deaths. Why don’t they investigate the more likely stressors leading young men to commit suicide at epidemic rates that are much higher than those for women? I would suggest they start with: […]
