Man misses birth of his child after fondling nurse, police say
Police arrested a Bountiful man early Friday for allegedly groping a nurse who was helping a woman who was in labor with his baby at an Ogden hospital.
Adam Jay Manning, 30, brought a pregnant woman in labor to McKay-Dee Hospital around 3 a.m. Friday, said Ogden police Lt. Loring Draper. When a nurse came to assist the couple, Manning looked the nurse "up and down" and made an observation about her appearance, Draper said.
"He makes a comment about how cute she looks," Draper said.
The nurse ignored Manning and continued helping the woman in labor, who was in a wheelchair and waiting to be taken to a delivery room. Manning continued his pursuit of the nurse, however, by telling her something looked wrong with her neck, Draper said. He attempted to massage the nurse's neck and then reached out and grabbed her breast, Draper said.
The nurse pushed Manning away and moved to the other side of the wheelchair, Draper said. She reported the incident to police, who arrested Manning on suspicion of felony forcible sexual abuse.
He was being held in the Weber County jail.
Manning pleaded guilty in February 2008 to shoplifting, a class B misdemeanor, and was sentenced to a year of probation that included classes at New Horizons, a mental health and substance abuse treatment center. In June, Manning pleaded guilty to criminal mischief, also a class B misdemeanor. He was sentenced to fines and a year of probation, which he allegedly
violated -- a judge issued a warrant for his arrest Sept. 14, court records show.
Draper said it's unclear whether the woman in labor was married to Manning or if she was a girlfriend. She gave birth to the baby after Manning's arrest.
"Obviously, he wasn't there for the birth of the child," Draper said
わいせつ行為を行った男はソルトレイクシティー出身のアダム・ジェイ・マニング（30歳）。マニングは妊娠中の女性が深夜に陣痛が始まったため、現地時間の10月9日の午前3時に女性を連れてマッケイ・ディー病院に来院したすが、女性の出産に立ち会う看護師の女性に一目ぼれしてしまい「すごくかわいい」などと言い看護師に猛アピールし始めた。看護師はマニングを無視し妊婦の援助をしながら分べん室が空くのを待っていた、マニングは「体調が悪い」と言うなど、しつこく看護師の気を引こうとしていた。
それでも看護師の女性に無視し続けられたため、マニングは女性の首のあたりを触りはじめ、その後マニングの手が看護師の胸にさしかかったため、女性はマニングを押しのけ警察に通報した。
その後、通報で駆けつけた警官によってマニングはわいせつ罪など疑いで現行犯逮捕。マニングと運ばれた妊婦は戸籍上結婚しているのか不明。赤ん坊はマニングが逮捕された後、無事生まれた。

Schools Cracking Down On teen Web Site MySpace
BOSTON -- Is it a virtual hangout for millions of American teenagers, like a sprawling electronic shopping plaza, or a magnet for sexual predators and pornographers?
MySpace.com is a bit of both, say Rhode Island education officials who have banned the fast-growing teen social networking Web site from 80 percent of their schools out of concern is was putting children at risk.
"There's a lot of personal information and things like that on MySpace.com -- a bit more than I'm comfortable with," said James Murphy, assistant director of technology for the public schools in Coventry, Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Network for Educational Technology, a nonprofit that handles Internet networks for the state's 36 public school districts, said 80 percent of the schools had requested an Internet filter to screen out MySpace.com.
A blizzard of news headlines in national media have raised alarm with parents and school authorities -- from "Man arrested in MySpace.com teen-sex case" to "Sex predators are stalking MySpace; is your teenager a target?" and "Space Invaders."
School districts in Florida and several other states and private universities have also installed filters on their Internet networks that block the site, which media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp bought for $580 million in July.
MySpace.com, which boasts 56 million members, allows teenagers and young adults to find friends and express themselves by posting profiles and blogs, or Web journals covering everything from their favorite singers to schoolwork and their sexual preferences and other intimate details.
In Connecticut, which borders Rhode Island, the state's attorney general, Richard Blumenthal, is investigating a number of sexual assaults with links to MySpace.
'EVERYBODY'S NIGHTMARE'
Authorities in Santa Cruz, California, arrested a 26-year-old in February for felony child molestation after he met a 14-year-old on MySpace. In other cases, MySpace.com has been used to threaten classmates.
"What could have been probably an innocent place for kids to meet has turned almost to be everybody's nightmare," said Monique Nelson, executive director of Web Wise Kids, a nonprofit Internet safety organization based in California.
"I'm glad to see Rhode Island taking a stand. It's unfortunate because I don't think the Web site was obviously originally designed to have things like this happen," she said.
Elliot Krieger, a spokesman for the Rhode Island Department if Education, said each school district can decide for itself whether to filter out MySpace.com or other web sites that have adult or inappropriate content for children.
The Rhode Island ban affects about 130,000 students while they are using computers at school. But students were always one step ahead and finding new ways to use the Internet or surfing sites like MySpace.com from home, Murphy said.
"There is no filtering service that is going to be foolproof," he said. "We try to keep on top of this and stay ahead but it's a challenge."
Pam Christman, director of technology programs and network services at the Rhode Island Network for Educational Technology, said about 40 percent of the state's schools had also sought bans on a long list of Web blogging sites.
MySpace has said that its users have to be at least 14 years old and are required to fill out an online form that includes their date of birth.

MySpace.comが若者の仮想的なたまり場状態になっており、実質的に性犯罪者などにとってたまらなく魅力的な場になっている。その結果、MySpace.comは年頃の子を持つ親にとって、「悪夢の場」になっている。
教育担当官によると、担当する36の学区の約8割（約13万人の学生がいる）が、子どもたちを危険にさらすとの理由でMySpace.comの利用をフィルタリングして禁止している。
そもそもMySpace.comには多くの個人情報やそれに類するものが存在しており、実際に米国では性犯罪者が若者をターゲットにして狙うためにMySpace.comを利用していたケースが多かった。
現在のMySpace.comの利用者数は5600万人という莫大な数。友だちを招待して小さな輪で使用するSNSではなく、友達をたくさん作る種類のSNSなので、友だちを探す機能、自分の意見や考えを表明する各種機能、プロフィール、ブログ、ウェブジャーナルなどの機能も充実。自分の好みの歌手や学校のこと、好みのタイプやその他の親密になるための詳細な情報を出すと言うことになる。
事例として、今年の2月にカリフォルニア州サンタクルーズで26歳の男が、14歳の少女への性的な犯罪の容疑で逮捕された。これはMySpace.comが出会いのきっかけであった。MySpace.comでは14歳以上でないと利用できないように生年月日を記入させていますが、どれだけの効果があるのかはまだ不明。

“These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.”
“Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab center. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in—even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.”
”Then suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. To everyone’s surprise there was the tiny bunny under Noah’s wing sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed!”
“Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah’s feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is a beautiful and amazing thing to see.”

Doctors choose sex for hermaphrodite baby
Doctors face a very difficult dilemma – they have to decide which sex to choose for a newborn child.
The parents of the unusual baby are trying not to interfere in the doctors’ decision-making process. The young couple is just praying to God to help the experts on genetics make the right decision and not break the life of their long-awaited baby.
The family of Muscovites - Sergey and Olga - has been waiting for their baby for a long time. Sergey was very happy when the doctors told them that Olga was pregnant.
Olga, 20, had a very easy pregnancy. She was working as long as she could, and her colleagues would have her labour at the workplace.
The child’s sex was not actually important for the parents.
Olga even asked the doctors not to tell her the sex of her child.
“We wanted it to be a surprise. We wanted this child so much,” Olga says.
The child was born in time.
The young mother almost burst into tears when she heard the first cry of her child. However, Olga could not understand why doctors did not bring the baby to her. A few hours later the doctor came to Olga’s ward and tried to explain that her child was a hermaphrodite. The newborn child had both female and male traits.
“Doctors say the child is half a girl and half a boy at the same time. They also say that the child can successfully be formed either as a boy or as a girl,” Sergey says.
Five days after the labour, Olga checked out from the hospital, but her baby was put to the pathology department, Life.Ru reports.
Now experts are waiting for the results of the genetic examination.
“In this particular case only genetics can say for sure which type of development, male or female, the child’s organism is more prone to.
We are going to love our baby in any case,” Sergey says.
According to the experts, in this case the main thing is not to be mistaken with the genetic predisposition of the child's organism.
There is nothing difficult in the medical operation to form the child’s sex.
“There were cases when an androgynous child was brought up as a boy, but when he became a teenager, he started to feel like a girl,” doctors say.

出産当日、特に問題なく出産が進められて無事に赤ちゃんが生まれたのだが、数時間後、産まれてきた子どもは男性の性質と女性の性質を両方持っていることを告げられ、男の子として育てるのか女の子として育てるのか選択を迫られた。
出産から5日後にオルガは退院したが、赤ちゃんは現在も遺伝子調査などで病院に残っており、現在結果を待っている状態のようだ。
