National Summary:
In Los Angeles, California, a woman was forced to remove her nipple piercings with pliers in order to board a plane. Mandi Hamlin was being checked by a handheld detector and when the detector passed by her chest which beeped and she told the TSA agent that it was her nipple piercings. The female officer took her behind a curtain and told her to remove the piercings with the pliers she handed to her. Hamlin took the first one out but had struggled with the second one. While she was crying, she heard the other officers snickering. After she removed the piercings, she was then allowed to board the plane even though she still had a bellybutton piercing. About a month later, the federal security agents and a civil rights investigation had to apologize to her. If they didn't, she said she would have taken legal action against them.

Opinion: I feel soooo bad for that woman. While reading this article, i just couldn't stop cringing when it mentioned about pliers being used to remove her piercings. And with the male officers around, AWKWARD! Hamlin should've just taken those officers that did that to her to jail. A simple apology cannot make things better for her. I think that anybody that has nipple piercings should think twice about boarding a plane. Oh my gosh that's terrible!

Summary: In Orange County, Florida, a 11 year old girl was tasered school security officer. The 11 year old was found pushing and shoving her teachers. The security officers came in and tried to calm her down but she was throwing desks and chairs all around. One of the officers couldn't contain her so he tasered the young girl.

Opinion: Why would someone taser an 11 year old girl? I could see if the girl was bigger and stronger than the officers but i hardly doubt it! I think now security officers are getting too lazy with controlling kids so they take advantage of whatever is possible.

International Summary:
A physics teacher allegedly gets a high school student pregnant and then takes her to get an abortion. The teacher is on trial for 11 counts of sexual penetration with a 16 or 17 year old child under his care. The jury was told in court that the physics teacher would pick up the girl after school and they would have sex in his car up to three times a week. The relationship continued after the abortion, with the pair sometimes going to motels, the prosecutor said.

Opinion: I think it's awful for what happened to that student. She not only had sex with the teacher but then he took her to get the abortion over with. I think that when girls get pregnant during high school, abortion isn't the right way to go. The teacher is a real jerk because he wanted to make sure that the abortion would go as planned.
