Gay, Jews -- and now, children!

Westboro Baptist Church is notorious for targeting gays and jews and now the group from Topeka, Kansas will target children.

Protesters will be in North Texas where they will picket the Dallas Jewish Community Center, where children are attending a summer camp. Parents are concerned, but center officials say there will be no counter-protest. 

This group claims to have held about 44,000 protests, nationwide.

Masturbation -- On the Job!

How would you feel if you were just doing your job and someone dropped their pants and masturbated in front of you.

It happened to Tanya Ragan, who is a property manager in downtown Dallas. She says the homeless shelter nearby has a lot to do with the problems of lewd behavior in the area. She says she find trash and human waste everywhere.

She wants The Bridge to do a better job of screening the people who stay at the shelter. Shelter officials say they require identification and they say it is better to have the homeless off the streets. What do you think?

Hot Enough?

The heat advisory for North Texas lingers, so parents looking to cool off at a spray park should know that there are new rules in place to make the experience safer.

In May, a new law took hold that requires spray parks to follow the same regulations as swimming pools when monitoring for cryptosporidium, a parasite. 

Many hope the added precautions will prevent an outbreak like the one two years ago that sickened hundreds of people across the region.

Mother Strangles Her Children, Then Calls Police

It was such a somber scene in Irving, where police say a mother strangled her two children and then called police to say she had done something, "terrible".

No parent can imagine harming their own child and that is what makes covering a story like this so unfathomable. We have scene it before with the Andrea Yates of the world, claiming postpartum depression.

We will have to wait a see what the motive was for this 30-year old woman to harm her two toddlers. We do that as we shed a tear for these innocent victims.
