What is wrong with our kids today.kids use to go on the playground to play
with an occasional fight but none of this gang mentality where they are jumping on kids to put on Utube.

I was very upset when I read about two young girls accused of brutally attacking another girl on a playground. The girls, ages 10 and 11, face aggravated assault and other charges for the attack on another 10-year-old girl at an elementary school playground, the girls are accused of stomping on her head and legs and breaking her hip.

The girl said the other girls pulled her off the monkey bars and attacked her after she told the girls to stop splashing water on her 8-year-old sister in the school playground.

The child remains hospitalized and is expected to undergo at least one week of rehabilitation at a hospital. She has three pins in her hip to keep the bones in place and may eventually need a hip replacement, her mother said.

Now their attorney clasms that they are only 10 and 11 years old and are good students and shouldn't be tried as a deliquent, they didn't know the consquences of their actions. I don't agree, kids as well as adults need to know that when you do something so terrible that you will be held responsible for it.

 Who should doctors let die in a flu pandemic? Maybe grandma.

 Doctors know some patients needing lifesaving care won't get it in a flu pandemic or other disaster. The gut-wrenching dilemma is deciding who to let die.

Now, an influential group of physicians has drafted a grimly specific list of recommendations for which patients wouldn't be treated.

The suggested list was compiled by a task force whose members come from prestigious universities, medical groups, the military and government agencies. They include the Department of Homeland Security, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The proposed guidelines are designed to be a blueprint for hospitals "so that everybody will be thinking in the same way" when pandemic flu or another widespread health care disaster hits.

"If a mass critical care event were to occur tomorrow, many people with clinical conditions that are survivable under usual health care system conditions may have to forgo life-sustaining interventions owing to deficiencies in supply or staffing," the report states.

To prepare, hospitals should designate a triage team with the Godlike task of deciding who will and who won't get lifesaving care.
There will be no care for the following:

_People older than 85.

_Those with severe trauma, which could include critical injuries from car crashes and shootings.

_Severely burned patients older than 60.

_Those with severe mental impairment, which could include advanced Alzheimer's disease.

_Those with a severe chronic disease, such as advanced heart failure, lung disease or poorly controlled diabetes.

If followed to a tee, such rules could exclude care for the poorest, most disadvantaged citizens who suffer disproportionately from chronic disease and disability, he said. While health care rationing will be necessary in a mass disaster, "there are some real ethical concerns here."

He said the proposals resemble a battlefield approach in which limited health care resources are reserved for those most likely to survive.

While the notion of rationing health care is unpleasant, it will be necessary,."

That's partly because members believe it's just a matter of time before such a health care disaster hits.
