Noblesville, IN
Nearly two months after a Noblesville man was arrested for possessing child pornography, the person who turned him in is telling 24-Hour News 8 why she did it.
Natasha Barnette, 21, said she can rest a little easier at night.
Natasha is talking about her own father, 42-year-old Samuel Barnette. She called police after she found child pornography on his laptop.
"They found very graphic videos and images, very, very violent videos of children," Natasha said. "I felt really ashamed about that and now I realize I have no reason to be. I did the right thing."
Barnette had been working at Promise Road Elementary School in Noblesville for just three weeks.
His daughter uncovered his secret just two days before school was to start.
Barnette was employed at the new school as a janitor.

Crimes against Children 10-24-12
Cincinnati, OH
Martin Nathan Ross, 59, of Cincinnati was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 148 months in prison for possessing child pornography. Ross’s sentence was enhanced because he has been previously convicted of sex offenses involving minors. He was also sentenced to be under court supervision for the rest of his life.
In September 2011, an officer working in an undercover capacity was investigating activities on a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing network. During the investigation, the officer made contact with an individual using the screen name “Olderswohioguy” later identified as Ross. Ross offered to share folders with the undercover officer, which he did. Because these folders were password-protected, Ross had to provide the undercover officer with the password so he could gain access. One folder included numerous images and videos depicting child pornography. The videos in particular depicted children less than 12 years of age involved in various sexual acts.
Washington, DC

Over the next several days, Henderson engaged in online and telephone conversations with the undercover officer, whom he believed had access to an under-aged boy from Virginia. During this period of time, Henderson arranged with the undercover officer to meet for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts with the boy.

Calif. School, Parents Surprised by Student Athletes’ Fantasy League Involving Sex, Classmates
San Francisco, CA
School administrators and parents are wrestling with how to respond to news that some male high school athletes created a statistics-based fantasy league that awarded points when girls the boys “drafted” were rumored to have engaged in sexual activity.
Parents at Piedmont High School were notified of the league’s existence in a letter and email Friday.
Varsity athletes used the online competition, modeled after fantasy leagues common in major league sports, as a bonding activity for the last five or six years, Principal Rich Kitchens said in the letter.
“Male students earn points for documented engagement in sexual activities with female students,” he wrote.
Most of the female students who were drafted into the league weren’t aware of the competition, he added.
Officials at the San Francisco Bay area suburban school learned about the game during an assembly on date rape earlier this month. Administrators interviewed students, parents and staff members, but weren’t able to identify any participants in the competition, which students referred to as a “Fantasy Slut League,” Kitchens said.

Misguided School District Makes the Wrong Call
Palo Alto, CA
As a school administrator, I am prone to giving fellow administrators leeway in school safety decisions. After all, they are the ones on the scene, and they have access to more information locally than I have at my computer. But in the case of Colman Chadam of Jordan Middle School, the school administrators have incorrectly applied medical knowledge to a case of two students, one with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), and the other, Colman Chadam, who is a genetic carrier.
As a carrier, Colman has one genetic mutation that, if he married another person with a genetic CF mutation, there would be a one in four chance that their child would develop CF. What it also means is that Colman does not have CF, nor any symptoms associated with CF. It should also be known that CF is not contagious.
School officials had this to say, "Based on the advice of medical experts, this is the zero risk option, and most certainly helps our District deliver on its commitment to provide safe learning environments," Charles Young, associate superintendent of education service at the Palo Alto Unified School District, said in a written statement to ABC News.
The problem with this is that medical experts did not give them the advice to keep Colman away from the child with CF.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, an estimated 30,000 children and adults have cystic fibrosis, and 10 million more are carriers of the cystic fibrosis genetic mutation but do not have the disease (Emphasis mine). The article mentions research done by Dr. Lisa Saiman, and incorrectly concludes that, "Exposure can cause bacterial cross-contamination and a higher risk for infections among people who are carriers of the gene or who have the disease."
The research on exposure only relates to CF patients, those who actually have CF. CF carriers do not have CF. They are not CF patients, as they are not ill.
Approximately 5% of the general population are genetic carriers. If the school district were to truly be concerned about the CF student-patient, they would need to screen all the students in the school, and identify the 5% of the student population that are genetic carriers. Of course, this is absurd, and totally unnecessary.
All CF guidelines apply only to CF patients, and it's not because CF it contagious (It is not), but because of secondary infections that can occur between CF patients.
The Palo Alto School Distict is wrong on this one.

Former Educator Arrested on Sex Charges
Michigan City, MIThe former principal of South Adams Elementary School has been arrested in LaPorte County, Indiana on several counts of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student while he was a teacher there.
Brian Strauss has been charged with two felony counts of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, one felony count of Child Solicitation and one felony count of Vicarious Sexual Gratification.
His arrest was the result of an investigation by the LaPorte County Sheriff's Department after a female student informed a detective on August 12, 2012 that she had been involved in an inappropriate relationship with Strauss while he was a school teacher employed by the South Central Community School Corporation.
