After Aimee Louise Sword, 36-year-old woman from Waterford, Michigan, pleaded guilty to engaging in sex with her 14-year-old son, Oakland Circuit Judge Daniel P. O'Brien sentenced Sword to nine years in prison.
In exchange for guilty plea, two other sex offenses that involved her son were dismissed.
Sword had given the boy up for adoption as a baby but tracked him down via Facebook. At a preliminary exam in January, the teenager testified she contacted him in 2008 while he was living with an adoptive family in Grand Rapids. Sex acts later occurred at a motel and at the home of one of Sword's relatives in Waterford Township.

ATLANTA (AP) -- A caged, 2-inch turtle traveling with a 10-year-old girl caused a crew to turn around a taxiing plane, take the girl and her sisters off the flight and tell them they couldn't bring their pet along.
The sisters threw the animal and cage in the trash and returned to their seats crying Tuesday after AirTran Airways employees on the jetway said they couldn't care for the turtle while their father drove to retrieve it. Two days later, however, Carley Helm was reunited with Neytiri even though at first the family thought the pet was emptied with the trash.
Carley was heading home to Milwaukee after visiting her father in Atlanta with sisters Annie, 13, and Rebecca, 22, when the flap unfolded.
Rebecca said the three were led onto the jetway and told they'd have to get rid of the baby red ear slider -- named Neytiri after the princess in the movie "Avatar" -- if they wanted to reboard.
"I asked, 'What do you mean get rid of it?' and they said throw it away," she said. "I was very sad, and I felt bad for my littlest sister because it was her first pet and she was planning to take care of it herself."
While the sisters say they were told to put the animal in the trash, AirTran says they chose that themselves, despite an offer to fly later at no extra charge.
AirTran company policy bars animals other than cats, dogs and household birds in the cabin, said spokesman Christopher White. White cited a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that says the reptiles have been known to carry salmonella bacteria.
The sisters say they made it past security screeners and an AirTran gate agent before boarding. One flight attendant told them to stow the cage under their seat, they say.
But with the flight rolling toward its takeoff, an attendant told them the turtle wasn't allowed in the cabin.
Rebecca Helm called their father, and he began driving back to the airport. She asked an AirTran employee to make arrangements with her father to look after the pet until he could get there, but the employee refused.
"I basically had to make a really fast decision because the whole plane was being delayed," Rebecca Helm said. The bin wasn't very full and she thought the turtle could be found easily once her dad arrived, she said.
Rebecca twice declined the offer to take a later flight, White said.
"We don't have the personnel or the facilities to care for people's pets," White said.
Rebecca asked if throwing the pet away would allow for them to get back on the flight, White said. The gate agent did not tell the sisters what to do but said they could not get on the plane with the turtle, White said.
"At no time did any AirTran Airways crew member order or suggest that they put the turtle in the trash," he said.
Half an hour later, the sisters' father called, saying he wanted to come look through the trash, White said. The gate agent looked, couldn't find the turtle and assumed it had been emptied, he said.
The airline, a unit of AirTran Holdings Inc. discovered Wednesday that the ramp supervisor had rescued the turtle from the trash "out of his own compassion" and given it to another crew member, who took it home for her 5-year-old son, White said.
AirTran told that crew member the original owners wanted it back, and the airline arranged for the turtle to fly as cargo to Milwaukee on Thursday, White said.
The sisters' mother reported what happened to animal rights group PETA, which sent a letter to AirTran demanding an investigation and disciplinary action.
For their part, Rebecca Helm says her sisters "are very happy to have the turtle back."

Lehigh Acres, Fla. While pumping gas at a nearby 7 Eleven Gas Station a Floridian woman witnessed a very disturbing site
.
A Sheriff’s Deputy was arresting a 5 year old boy and the mother was watching and consenting to the act.
The woman, who requested to remain anonymous, snapped a picture from her cell phone, started to cry and said “That's not a way to treat a child, that's not a way to teach a lesson to a little boy,”
The mother explained how she had requested to her friend and 15-year old veteran of the Lee county Sherriff’s office to help her teach her son a lesson with a scare. The deputy complied and arrested the boy.
"I hope it scared him to figure out that he's not going to play with matches or lighters again," said the mother. "That was the whole point of it -- to make him afraid that he was going to go to jail."
The discipline was too much said Child psychiatrist Omar Rieche.
"No matter what the details are, when you see that picture, it says so much," he said. "The age in which this is being done is inappropriate, so it's misguided."
But the boy's mother said she'd do it again if she had to.
The actions of the deputy were not protocol explained the Lee County Sheriff's Office.Lehigh Acres, Fla. While pumping gas at a nearby 7 Eleven Gas Station a Floridian... more

NEW YORK (AP) — An unhappy mother hurled her toddler daughter into the chilly Hudson River and then jumped in herself in an apparent murder-suicide attempt intended to spite her husband, prosecutors said Friday.
Dispirited after a few years of moving around the United States because of her husband’s job, Devi Silvia told relatives she wanted to go back to her native India with her 19-month-old daughter shortly before the river plunge Tuesday, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Robert Hettleman said.
Later, "she told us that she was sad and lonely and angry at her husband, and that she did this horrific act on purpose," he said as she was arraigned on attempted murder and other charges.
Silvia told a detective "she threw her infant daughter into the river and wanted to die to hurt her husband."
Silvia, 33, didn’t enter a plea and is being held without bail.
Jessica was blue and motionless when rescuers plucked her and Silvia from the water. He said the child was in stable condition Friday.

Bouchaib Moqadem's lawyer has asked for the bill to be written off
A Belgian man has protested at being asked to pay for the prosecution of his ex-wife who killed their five children, a local newspaper reports.
"I am disgusted and revolted," Bouchaib Moqadem told Le Soir newspaper.
Genvieve Lhermitte was sentenced to life in prison in December 2009 for murdering their son and four daughters while Mr Moqadem was on holiday.
Belgium tries to recover the cost of its prosecutions from those convicted but Lhermitte is insolvent.
So the state has instead sent the 72,743 euros ($97,000; £65,000) bill to Mr Moqadem.
It says the money should come from Lhermitte's share of the sale of their house.
Mr Moqadem's lawyer has reportedly asked for the bill to be written off.

A mother killed her four-year-old son as a religious sacrifice just days after being freed from a hospital and allowed to look after him.
Emma Manser, 24, believed she was the Messiah and had to sacrifice her own life and that of her young son Ryan.
She smothered him to death with a pillow four days after being released from a mental hospital and hours after warning her family that she wanted to kill them all.
She then stabbed her own mother five times as she tried to resuscitate the boy, an inquest heard today.
Emma hanged herself three months later at a mental hospital in Sussex where she was being held.
Ryan Manser was on the child protection register and has been supervised by social workers since he was born.
A Serious Case Review carried out after Ryan was killed in April 2007 made 20 recommendations and the boy’s family have complained that more could have been done to protect him.
An inquest in Honiton, Devon, heard how Emma Manser had a history of mental illness dating back to her late teens when she had complained of being bullied and had started taking cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine.
She spent most of the nine months before the killing at the Cedars Unit at Wonford House Hospital in Exeter, where she was allowed home leave to visit Ryan at the home of her mother Wendy Richards in Whipton, Exeter.
On the night of the killing she and the boy were both sleeping on mattresses on the floor of the living room when she smothered him with a pillow. They had been doing a jigsaw puzzle together just minutes earlier.
Mother-of-four Mrs Richards, aged 56, sobbed as she told the inquest Emma had threatened to kill all the family but she had not taken it seriously.
She said:'I thought she was only joking and didn’t mean it. I asked her why she came out with these things and told her she scared people.
'I went to bed and woke to find Emma standing there. She said: "What have I done to Ryan? Look what I have done to Ryan".
'She was icy. Her eyes were huge and empty. The way she said it was creepy and scary. Ryan was pale and lacking life. I screamed for someone to call an ambulance and tried pumping his chest.
'Emma came back into the room and said "I’ll kill you all" and I felt something go into my shoulder. I saw something shiny and she stabbed me again. I could feel the blood gurgling from my back.
'I don’t know why it happened. She had slept like that with Ryan quite a few times and nothing untoward had happened. I didn’t think she was a risk to Ryan. I didn’t think she would hurt him.
'I think they let her out too early. I told the social workers she should not be out so early. She still came out with lots of stupid things and I could tell she was not right. You could tell it from her eyes.
'It was hard because it was left to me whether to let her see Ryan or not. I could not turn her away because she was his mum.
'She had threatened to harm him, but she threatened to kill all of us. It was something she would say.
'At her worst she used to say she was the Messiah and had been put on earth to do God’s work. She thought she could read people’s thoughts, and they could read hers.
'She said she was going to take her life as a sacrifice and she was going to sacrifice Ryan as well. That afternoon I told her to stop going on about the Messiah and God because Ryan was around.'
Mrs Richards said her daughter had not changed because of her abuse of drugs but that it happened after Ryan’s birth. At first she coped well but then started staying in bed for much of the day, leaving the child on his own.
Mr Warren Robinson, representing Emma’s father Robert, has asked the coroner to examine how Ryan came to be killed at a time when his case was well known to social services and he was on the at risk register.
He said a summary of the Serious Case Review has been published, containing 20 recommendations, but its findings have not been released.

My family has gotten a lot smaller lately. My mother died in 2004, my father in 2007, and my uncle in 2008.
I’ve done the five stages of grief, as introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1969, but not exactly as she described. It’s true that I initially felt denial: “I’m a lucky person; this can't be happening.” Then I was angry and felt sorry for myself. Then, at least during my mother’s struggle with pancreatic cancer, I hit the bargaining table. Mom was a Sunday school teacher when I was little, so I pleaded with God: “Please let the diagnosis be wrong, please let the chemo work, please don’t let the good die young.” To hedge my bets, I occasionally promised, “if she can beat the odds, I’ll volunteer at the local cancer center and I’ll donate my life savings to research.” It didn’t work. In less than four months, she was dead.
Depression crept in, and this stage held me in its grip for a long time. I gained acceptance a year or two after my mother’s death—she would’ve wanted me to—but this stage eluded me with the loss of my father and my uncle. Now, I’m just angry. Outraged, in fact.
My father had stomach cancer. My uncle had prostate cancer. Both were farmers.
I can remember when the two of them would come in from the fields covered with fine, white powder. The only part of their bodies that wasn’t white was the top of their heads when they took off their caps before sitting down to lunch. Dad said it was DDT, a pesticide that was banned in 1972 after Rachel Carson alerted the nation to its danger.

auri Ann Price, 42-year-old local mom and substitute teacher with the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, Lauri Ann Price, has been accused of soliciting and enticing a Canadian boy she met on the Internet.
Price, a mother of four, has been charged with two counts of online solicitation of a minor and one count of enticing a child with intent.
The Harris County’s District Attorney says the woman communicated with a 15-year-old boy in Canada and engaged in a cyber sexual relationship for over one year. The two allegedly met through the online game World of Warcraft.
On Dec. 28, 2009, Price flew to Ontario from Houston where she picked up the now 16-year-old and engaged in a sexual relationship. She was arrested Tuesday by the Internet Crimes Against Children unit in Houston, which is a local police officer task force.
Police also said Price visited the boy in February but failed to lure him away.
"She talked to him about sex and a lot of different stuff. It was a very long, long grooming process. She thought that in February she had him at that time. She continued to work on him until she finally felt she broke through."
Despite efforts by the boys parents to keep Price away, she ultimately absconded with him and was only found after a province-wide police manhunt. Disturbingly, Price left her four children home alone when she flew to Canada for sex with the youth. The children are now with their grandmother.auri Ann Price, 42-year-old local mom and substitute teacher with the... more
