OK.
Beyond the shock and horror of it, what is the point of posting these stories to ATS? What is there to debate here? Is there anyone here who isn't going to agree that this is awful?
We can come up with a new horror story like this every day, unfortunately, but I'm not sure how it's relevant to ATS's mission.
"This is really one grisly murder" a shaken investigator said.
Officials with the city's Administration for Children's Services took custody of several children in the apartment last night. Ford said Monique's mother recently began attending college and working at a Gap store.

...Fornicators and the enemies of sex are abundant in the Infernal Worlds.
Homosexuals, lesbians, the henchmen of Lilith, who sterilize themselves and women who use contraceptives, devolve within the Infernal Worlds.
The supporters of induced abortion and the women who wilfully abort are also seen in the sphere of Lilith.
Male and female adulterers of the world are also found in the sphere of Nahemah.
The Great Illuminated Beings, that is to say, Sabaoth, fight in order to make the multitudes of the Left comprehend the crude realities of the facts.
Unfortunately, the multitudes of the Left think that they are doing very well.
This terrestrial humanity has reached the maximum of perversity.
Humanity frightfully devolves in this instant of mundane crises and total degeneration.
This devolving terrestrial humanity is entering into the submerged mineral kingdom in surges.
Human beings will destroy each other amongst their own selves in a horrifying way, if the expected cataclysm is delayed too long.
Unquestionably, the ego becomes more and more complicated as time passes.
The complicated ego becomes terribly malignant.
Frightfully, this terrestrial humanity has already failed and will become more and more perverse through time.
To live normally upon the Earth will be something more than impossible within a short period of time.
Malignity will be so great that within a short period of time, human beings will, in fact, have two thoughts in their minds: First, to kill; second, to be killed.
Very shortly, in the direction that we are going, death, assassination, vice and perversity, multiplied to its maximum, will reign in every house.
The great catastrophe that is expected has converted itself into a non-delayable necessity.
Only the great catastrophe can save us from the most horrifying terrors that the ego will let loose over the face of the Earth.
We presently have no more hope, except for the universal blazing Fire.

Tamahu,I always like your posts because you bring some spiritual clarity to the issue.
The wise North-American Kabbalist Manly P. Hall, who was cited by the great Master of the White Lodge, Dr. Francisco A. Propato, said in his book of Occult Anatomy of Man, the following:
"Those who will be incapable of lifting the fire of the spinal medulla throughout their Sushumna canal, will be cast aside into a lateral kingdom, similar to that of the present apes (monkeys, chimpanzees, etc.)."

Legalizing prostitution would not do anything to decrease these sorts of crimes. They aren't committed by people looking to "get laid". These are crimes driven by hate, purely and simply.
They are ego-driven, it's a way to show the victim, in the most heinous way, that they are powerless. Sex is merely a byproduct of the powertrip, a way to stamp their brand into the victim. The pleasure is derived from the exersize of power, not the sexual act itself.

I through thinking I'm a pessimist, I'm darned near optimistict compared to some of you. Yes there are bad things happening in our world, no denying that. Yet for all the bad, there is an equal amount of good out there too. Small, and not so small, acts of everyday kindness that go unreported, unrewarded, but always appriciated. The kindnesses that help us to make our way through the morass that is our everyday world.
You may not see it, because of the concentration on the bad, but its there nevertheless.
...If you look at just one tiny aspect of Buddhism, of course it might appear too much for you. But Buddhism is not just about one or two small things; it is not some tiny philosophy. Lord Buddha explained the nature of every single phenomenon in the universe. At this stage, I have had about nine or ten years’ experience teaching Buddhist philosophy to Westerners and experimenting with how it fits their minds, mainly in the one-month meditation courses we hold each year at Kopan Monastery in Nepal.
In these courses we try to explain everything, but I have found that if we talk too much about the negative side of things, students completely freak out. Not all of them, but many do.
They say, “These lamas emphasize the negative too much. Why don’t they talk more about the positive? Buddhism isn’t only about delusion and suffering. Why do they teach us this negative stuff day after day?”
But the thing about Buddhism is that before you can put yourself into the positive path to liberation, enlightenment or God—whatever you want to call it, the name doesn’t matter—you have to know how your negative mind works.
If you don’t understand how the two extreme negative views of overestimation and underestimation function within you, how can you correct your actions and put yourself into the right path? Therefore, it is crucial to know the negative aspects of your nature. Actually, if you comprehend the evolution of your negative mind from beginning to end, you’ll feel very comfortable. Conversely, if you don’t know how it works, you’ll finish up thinking that negative actions are positive.
Moreover, if you try to practice the path to liberation without a solid grounding in what is positive and what is negative, a simple question from someone challenging what you are doing can completely derail you. You might get confused and give up. That’s the sign of a weak mind. You have to see the totality of the evolution of both the negative and the positive mind.
Some people assume that Buddhism is probably a nice religion that always talks diplomatically and sweetly about holy things. When we start teaching Buddhism to beginners, we don’t begin by talking about holy things. The first thing we explain is the basic nature of your present mind—what’s going on down here, right now—not Buddha up there.
However, at this point, I would like to say one thing about the nature of Buddha. As I mentioned before, some people with a limited knowledge of Buddhism think that while Christianity and other religions say that God is only one, Buddhists worship three Gods. Actually, if you understand the true nature of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, you’ll know that there’s no separation between them. Buddha is Buddha; Buddha is Dharma; Buddha is Sangha. Accepting Buddha, Dharma and Sangha as the ultimate refuge does not contradict the unity of God...
