| Pot-smoking tot's mom ordered to stay away from kids - Cincinnati.com Posted: 24 Sep 2010 11:12 AM PDT DOWNTOWN – A mother accused of teaching her 2-year-old daughter to smoke marijuana and then recording it on her cell phone must stay away from all children, a magistrate ordered Friday. Jessica Gamble was arraigned before Hamilton County Magistrate Michael Bachman, who also increased her bond to $10,000 cash. The 21-year-old Springfield Township woman wore a blue T-shirt shirt, blue jeans and oversized, black Croc-style shoes as she softly pleaded not guilty to a Sept. 15 indictment on three felonies – corrupting another with drugs, child endangering and tampering with evidence. If convicted on all counts, she could face a maximum prison sentence of 11 ½ years. Gamble was originally allowed to post 10 percent of her $10,000 bond and was released from jail due to overcrowding. Prosecutors Friday urged the magistrate to set a higher bond due to the seriousness of the alleged crime, which has drawn national attention. "The fact is there is no room in the justice center," Bachman lamented. "No matter what bond municipal court sets, the sheriff will let her go again." Prosecutors say Gamble either made or encouraged her toddler to smoke pot. At one point on the 1-minute, 37-second video shot in August, a voice believed to be Gamble's tells the girl "Don't blow on" the joint. After the child takes a few more puffs, the same voice asks, "What is that?" and then a hand grabs the child's hand that is holding the joint. The person shooting the video – Gamble, the indictment alleges – takes the joint from the child's fist and holds it up so it is in the middle of the image frame. Then she laughs. The child is living with a relative as Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services investigates the incident. Prosecutors charged Gamble with tampering with evidence because they believe she deleted the video from her cell phone. Before that happened, someone saw the video and was so disturbed at seeing the child smoking marijuana that the person forwarded the video to another cell phone. Then it was shown to officials at Hamilton County Job and Family Services, who contacted police. Gamble arrived at court Friday with friends, including one woman who burst into tears as Gamble was taken into custody and led away by sheriff's officials after her brief hearing. "She's not a bad mother! She's not!" sobbed Desiree Davis, 21, who described herself as a close friend of Gamble's. Davis' 1-year-old son accompanied the women to court. Davis said she was upset her friend could no longer be around her infant, at least until the case is resolved. Davis also said a couple who were staying with Gamble were to blame for the pot smoking, not Gamble. "It is an ugly case," added Gamble's public defender, Bob Fiorenza, "but we will see what discovery shows and go from there."

| What Are We Overlooking in Our Kids Today? - Huffingtonpost.com Posted: 24 Sep 2010 09:24 AM PDT Maybe it's because we live in the information age or that media has become more sensational than ever. It seems like for a while now kids have been getting labeled with one diagnosis after another with an overemphasis on their negative traits and less emphasis on the hope and possibility that there is something inside that is quite beautiful. Buckminster Fuller said: "There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." Perhaps it's because our minds are geared toward fear, and so anything that resembles ADHD, autism, Asperger's, depression, anxiety or any other number of disorders are quickly attached to the child by friends, family, teachers and even health professionals. Now, let me be clear. I absolutely believe that labels can be helpful; they provide a common language for us to communicate as well as point us to interventions that have worked for others with similar symptoms. But, like anything, we can get swept away with them leaving us blind to what is outside of the box. Or even if the shoe does fit, we can miss out on the wonders of the children who are correctly diagnosed. For example, people with autism/Asperger's are often highly trustworthy without any manipulative agenda. They have unique perspectives, little filtering for prejudice and can be highly intelligent. In his book "Buddha's Brain" This seems to too often be the case when we view our children as well. We can almost laugh at ourselves, because we do this same thing with ourselves. We spend much of our time in self judgment; it's as if we're pros at it. So of course, we turn that same rock-hard muscle on our children, rapidly judging and categorizing them as this or that. Perhaps we should make it a practice for ourselves and for our kids in noticing that initial perception and seeing if we can stop, take a breath, open our eyes and intentionally incline our minds toward what is good about them. We can make this a daily practice, not in the attempt to put on rose colored glasses and ignore any warning signs that are important to pay attention to, but more in an attempt to begin balancing the mind and modeling that for our kids. What are some traits that you appreciate in the kids in your life? These can be friends' kids, nieces, nephews, your own -- or just the children of today? Even just writing it below begins the process of inclining your mind. It's a worthwhile practice, go ahead and let us know. *** Adapted from a publication on Mindfulness and Psychotherapy at Psychcentral.com.

, Rick Hanson explains that our brains are built with an automatic negativity bias to help keep us safe. When two roads diverge in the wood and one has bear tracks, the brain is going to be geared toward noticing the tracks more, in order that we notice them and not go down that path.| You are subscribed to email updates from kids shoes - Bing News To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
