ILLINOIS COURT DISMISSES BAD PARENTING LAWSUIT
Did you know you can sue your parents for skimping out on your childhood birthday gifts? You can, but you'll probably lose. Two years after Steven and Kathryn Miner, both in their 20s, sued their mother, Kimberly Garrity, for bad parenting during their formative years, the case has been dismissed. The $500,000 lawsuit accused 55-year-old Garrity of causing her adult kids emotional distress.

SOUTH CAROLINA DSS FINES MOUNT CANCELING OUT MUCH OF SURPLUS
Recently, it was reported that the State of South Carolina has a budget surplus. But, maybe those making this claim are unfamiliar with the situation outlined at http://parentsrights.blogspot.com/2010/12/south-carolina-dss-fines-mount-will.html?
South Carolina is paying about $10 Million per year on this debt, but because the State refuses to comply with federal law, the taxpayers are being assessed about $10 Million per year in additional penalties. Therefore, the balance on the fine probably remains around $70 Million. Then there is the stolen $338,500 in federal child-support funds discussed in this article which probably has to be reimbursed also.
So, it appears that the ballyhooed surplus, or most of it anyway, exists only on paper
