I started walking everywhere alone by age 8, but I don't allow my kid the same independence. My kid is 10 and is not allowed to leave the house unsupervised because I don't think they're ready. AdvertisementGrowing up, my sister and I started walking the nearly-mile-long trip to school alone, on quiet residential streets, when I was 8 and she was 6. In contrast, I don't feel safe letting my 10-year-old child go anywhere outside the house alone, for now. AdvertisementAll that is to say, we aren't comfortable with our kid walking alone in our high-traffic neighborhood, for now.

Students were regularly subjected to sexual harassment by Hall, two former students told me. “I feel like so many of us were victims to the culture,” one former Rosemead student told Insider. Manipulation by a trusted adult has been passed like a virus to generations of Rosemead students. AdvertisementThe Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia have long been a local haunt for Rosemead High students. We wondered aloud whether Masiello had harassed our mother the same way he'd done to generations of Rosemead students.

As an NYU student, I've been able to study abroad in Florence and Paris. I still love traveling and will study abroad again next semester. AdvertisementAdvertisementAt Gallatin, I have the freedom to study abroad as many times as I want.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday for blocking him on Twitter after he heckled her outside the U.S. Capitol, shouting crude remarks about her body and her position on abortion.

☆ Memphis disbands police unit after fatal beating as protesters take to streets
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The specialized police unit that included the five Memphis officers charged with the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols was disbanded on Saturday as more protests took place in U.S. cities a day after harrowing video of the attack was released. The police department said in a statement it was permanently deactivating the SCORPION unit after the police chief spoke with members of Nichols' family, community leaders and other officers. Five officers involved in the beating, all Black, were charged on Thursday with murder, assault, kidnapping and other charges. Nichols' family and officials expressed outrage and sorrow but urged protesters to remain peaceful. In Memphis, protesters chanting, "Whose streets?

Video recordings from police body-worn cameras and a camera mounted on a utility pole showed Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, repeatedly calling "Mom!" as officers kicked, punched and struck him with a baton in his mother's neighborhood after a Jan. 7 traffic stop. The release of the clips on Friday sparked protests in Memphis and elsewhere and prompted numerous cities to prepare for additional demonstrations on Saturday. Nichols' family and officials, including President Joe Biden, have expressed outrage and sorrow but have urged protesters to remain peaceful. The initial traffic stop was for reckless driving, though the police chief has said the cause for the stop has not been substantiated.

☆ A 'California girl' settled down in a remote Canadian city with her husband. They were finally able to buy a home and have a slice of the American dream.

Erin Ventura had no intention of leaving Los Angeles — until she met her Canadian husband, Justin Chiang. Erin Ventura grew up in Los Angeles, and she describes herself as "a California girl" through and through. But since Chiang was a Canadian citizen and Ventura was American, they had to choose which country to live in. Ventura said her husband was making a bit over 60,000 Canadian dollars a year playing in the military band. But I think in this case it's more of a 'big city, small city' kind of thing.
