Police expect no charges in youth group diaper skit
Saturday, December 08, 2007
By Mary Niederberger, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteA skit at a local Christian youth group meeting had teenage boys taking off some of their clothes, wearing adult diapers, bibs and bonnets and being spoon-fed by girls as they sat in their laps.
Some say it’s just crazy, goofy teenage fun. But others, including one boy’s mother and the Mt. Lebanon School District, aren’t comfortable with it. The skit took place during the Nov. 29 meeting of the Mt. Lebanon Young Life club, a nondenominational Christian youth group directed by youth minister O.J. Wandrisco.
Laurie Metz, whose 14-year-old son was one of the boys who took part in the skit, said she found it inappropriate, demeaning and sexually perverse. Mr. Wandrisco and a national spokesman for Young Life say the skits are all in fun and meant to be used as “icebreakers” at the youth group meetings.
He declined to comment on the Mt. Lebanon teens being asked to undress before they put on the diapers and bibs or whether he thought the Mt. Lebanon skit was appropriate.
Ms. Metz said at the Nov. 29 Young Life meeting, after her son and two other boys were selected to take part in the skit, they were taken to a rest room by an older teen and given adult diapers, bibs and bonnets and directed to take their clothes off and put the diapers, bibs and bonnets on. Her son took off his pants, but kept on boxer undershorts, his shirt, shoes and socks.
The boys returned to the group, where they were asked to sit in the laps of three girls. The girls spoon-fed baby food to the boys and then gave them baby bottles filled with soda pop. The first boy to finish was the winner.
“The whole premise of the skit is questionable,” Ms. Metz said. “I see no purpose that it would serve, especially not in a Christian youth group setting. It’s perverse.”
She said even if there is no police action taken, she felt it important to speak out so that other parents know what goes on at the meetings. She said at an earlier meeting girls ate jelly beans in chocolate pudding out of adult diapers.
Mr. Wandrisco, in an interview, acknowledged that the Nov. 29 skit had taken place as Ms. Metz described and that the group had also participated at an earlier date in the skit that involved eating chocolate pudding out of diapers.
Patterico , a la Roger Simon, after John Cole mocks Patty’s stupid post on the hypothetical morality of waterboarding with a .
Cole points out that both posts involved hypothetical, not real, physical confrontation:
Patterico- it was just a hypothetical, boss. And just like your hypothetical, neither is rooted in reality (not to mention the hypothetical never even mentioned you).
To which Pattycakes by making the stupidest blogging comment evar:
But there?s nothing irresponsible about talking to that crowd about committing violent acts on conservatives. I?m sure if Michelle Malkin ever did the reverse ? ?mocking? a liberal by talking about kicking him, while addressing an audience predisposed to think liberals are less than human ? John Cole would take it in stride as just joshin?.
Of course, that would never happen. Because Michelle Malkin has far more class than John Cole ever will.
We are speechless. “Class” doesn’t even begin to describe Malkin. Calling Malkin “classy” is like calling Shaq O’Neal “bulemic” or Michael Ledeen “peacenik.”
catches a whiff of the story:
. . . former Secretary of Defense and bespectacled herald of doom and destruction Donald Rumsfeld had to make a break for it when a coalition of the way-more-than willing human rights groups filed a complaint with the French courts over his authorization of torture at Gitmo and elsewhere. Just the thought that, even for a moment or two, after his attendance at a breakfast in Paris sponsored by Foreign Policy magazine, Rumsfeld feared he might be jailed and told to answer for his crimes is enough to sustain this blogger for a while. It’s orgasm-inducing, isn’t it? The notion that Rumsfeld was sweating, wondering if at any moment French officials might actually have les couilles to do it?
Sounds too good to be true. Can you imagine Rummy giving his typical byzantine answers in a court of law?
More on from the IHT:
A group of U.S. and European human rights organizations is pursuing a legal complaint against Donald Rumsfeld in a Paris court that accuses the former defense secretary of being responsible for torture.
The group, which includes the International Federation for Human Rights, the French League for Human Rights and the Nork York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, filed the complaint late Thursday and unsuccessfully sought to confront Rumsfeld as he left a breakfast meeting in central Paris on Friday.
Jeanne Sulzer, a lawyer for the group, said the complaint was filed with a state prosecutor, Jean-Claude Marin, who has the power to pursue the case because of Rumsfeld’s presence in France.

PITTSBURGH - Change for a million?
That’s what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.
The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said. Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.
Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.

What is it with these freaky ministers? White shoes, wigs, rubber suits! Why did it take an autopsy to find two rubber suits?
A Montgomery minister found in his home this summer died with his hands and feet bound behind his back and dressed in two rubberized suits, an offical autopsy showed.
The Montgomery Advertiser obtained a copy of the 13-page report on Friday, one day after District Attorney Ellen Brooks authorized its release.
The Rev. Gary Michael Aldridge was found dead June 24. Police ruled the 51-year-old pastor of Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone at the time of his death and that there was no foul play involved.
The autopsy, prepared by Senior State Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Boudreau of the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, lists “accidental mechanical asphyxia” as the cause of death. It gave a one-paragraph description of what the examiner saw when he conducted the autopsy on June 25.
A toxicology report showed no signs of drugs in Aldridge’s system, but did find traces of ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol. Boudreau explained that a body that is decomposing creates ethyl alcohol. Aldridge’s death has been the subject of rumors since the church asked the community to “refrain from speculation” until police completed their investigation.
Brooks said Friday that her office gets hundreds of cases requiring autopsy reports every year.
“I don’t know anything about any speculation,” she said. “I’m a prosecutor. I have no case to prosecute. It is not a criminal matter at this point. If you’re asking about idle curiosity, I’m not going to comment on that.”
Capt. Huey Thornton, a police spokesman, said Montgomery Police used an out-of-state agency during its investigation, but he would not name the agency. He said the agency corroborated MPD’s finding that Aldridge was alone when he died.
The Montgomery Advertiser requested a copy of the autopsy in a July 11 letter to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences. On July 12, the department replied that “… the report(s) cannot be released to the public at this time because the District Attorney has determined that the case is still under investigation. …”
After police reported on Wednesday they had completed their investigation, the Advertiser made another request for the autopsy report.
Rod Kennette, deputy director of the state Department of Forensic Sciences, said he received Brooks’ authorization to release the report shortly before 5 p.m. on Thursday.
The medical examiner who conducted Aldridge’s autopsy said Friday the long wait for the autopsy findings was not unusual.
“These things happen,” Boudreau said. “We see probably two of these a year. If you’re not used to seeing that sort of thing, it’s probably unusual.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A 13-year-old choked and beat his 8-year-old brother to death because the younger boy ate a dessert and the older one worried he would be blamed, authorities said Wednesday . . . Demetrius Key initially said he hit his brother with a metal shelf support, investigators said. After investigators searched the house, he said he used a broom handle, the sheriff’s office said. He then told the detective he punched the boy, choked him and banged his head on the floor, according to an affidavit. The sheriff’s office would not say what the dessert was.

ANGLETON ? Prosecutors have dropped charges that a Lake Jackson woman caused her husband’s death by giving him a sherry enema, leading to alcohol poisoning.
Tammy Jean Warner, 45, now of Texas City, had been scheduled to go on trial next Monday on a charge of negligent homicide. It was the sixth trial date set for the case.
Court records state that the case was dismissed Aug. 31 due to insufficient evidence.
Warner’s husband, Michael Warner, a 58-year-old machine shop operator, died at their Lake Jackson home on May 21, 2004. An autopsy report said he had been administered an enema with enough sherry to get a blood alcohol level of 0.47 percent. That is almost six times the level that can lead to a driving while intoxicated charge.
Warner told the Houston Chronicle that her husband had been addicted to enemas since he was a child. She said he often used alcohol in that manner to get drunk.
Neither Warner’s attorney nor Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne could be reached for comment.
I like how he looks mad - is that a photo from beyond the grave?
