Kevin Perez, 11, spent the night at the 24-hour Riverview Walmart store apparently afraid he would be in trouble if he went home, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The boy walked to the store from his house and didn't realize what time it was until he got there, reports the St. Petersburg Times.
Meanwhile it was an all-out boyhunt for the missing youth.
Dozens of sheriff's deputies searched for the boy with helicopters and canine units. They also launched reverse 911 calls. At least two dozen sheriff's cars converged on the boy's neighborhood.
A Walmart employee noticed Kevin milling around the store at about 2 a.m., but thought perhaps the boy's parents were with him.
Later, employees realized the boy was alone and called deputies. As early morning employees began their 7 a.m. shift, Kevin waited for the police to reunite him with his family.
Kevin and his parents were whisked away from the scene and into their neighborhood by the deputies.
Authorities plan to leave any potential punishment to his parents.
If this were your son, what would you do?

CATEGORIES news | author: NewspitterMeet Tammy Clinton, a 6th grade geography teacher at Farnell Middle School in Tampa.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrested the 39-year-old at school, accusing her of not only forcing a 14-year-old student to touch her breasts and fondling his buttocks, but twice enticing him to leave the campus with her so they could commit a sexual act, reports 10Connects.com.
Clinton admitted to the accusations after her arrest, according to cops.
Clinton had a clean history with the district and she received ethics and conduct training twice in her eight years of teaching.
Too bad she didn't learn from her teacher handbook: Right at the top, you'll find, "Maintain a professional barrier between you and the students. You are the adult, the teacher and the professional."
"Do not flirt with students."
"Keep your hands and other body parts to yourself."

Lil Wayne Releases New Video Letting Fans Know What He's Up To Before Heading To Jail!!!
CATEGORIES celebrity, entertainment | author: Newspitter"Three days, y'all — let's party!" Lil Wayne said on Saturday (February 27). Now that his dental surgery is done, Weezy is expected to begin serving his year in jail on weapons charges Tuesday, but he's making sure he's seen and heard before his departure. Of late, Weezy has taken to Twitter (much more on than in a minute) and Ustream to communicate with fans. On Saturday evening, Weezy and his favorite videographer, DJ Scoob Doo, sent MTV News a clip we're going to call "Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 1" (as in Rikers Island, the New York jail that Wayne's heading to).
In the clip, Wayne promises to grant fans a look at what his life is like as he prepares to go to jail.
Shot Saturday afternoon in the guest house of his Miami home, Wayne had the NCAA game of Tennessee vs. Kentucky playing in the background on his big-screen TV.
"This is for my real fans," Wayne said. "People who wanna know what I be doin'. I'mma let y'all in." Chech out the video below...
From there, Wayne, who recently tweeted that he was giving up Twitter (although he's tweeted since then), urged his fans to follow him at his page, "@liltunechi."
"I just opened that up," Weezy said. "I got almost 200,000 followers. I need more followers. I saw Drake had like 400,000 followers. I need more followers than Drake."
Wayne then gave background on his nickname.
"My nickname is Lil Tune — my grandmother named me that," he explained. "She's passed. My grandmother, her name was Mercedes Carter. She named me Lil Tune. We just threw the 'Chi' on there. Like Gucci, I say 'Tunechi!' "
The clip ends with Weezy shouting out all his children, their mothers and his own mom.
Wayne will be shooting footage right up until he goes to court on Tuesday — check back with MTV News for more!
Wayne and Scoob Doo recently released the DVD "The Nino Brown Story, Part 2." It can be found on djscoobdoo.com.

Is Technology Going Too Far? Mobile Device Application Called 'Recognizr' Enables User To See Individuals Personal Online Information Just By Image!!!
CATEGORIES life styles | author: NewspitterAn application that lets users point a smart phone at a stranger and immediately learn about them premiered last Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Developed by The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a Swedish mobile software and design firm, the prototype software combines computer vision, cloud computing, facial recognition, social networking, and augmented reality.
Translation: My phone. Pointed at your face. Pulling your information. Stalking, meet your future? Find out it works and plus video below..
Here's how it works. Users opt in to the service and submit a photo to the computer-vision program, called Recognizr. If I point my phone at you, Recognizr scans your face, sends a 3-D model signature to a server which matches the face to a photo in its database, and sends back the name along with social media links, including your Facebook and Twitter account. Creeped out yet?
Sure, but I'm hardly alarmed. After all, it would be opt in and I don't know anybody who would opt in. On smart phones, I can already access the Twitter feeds and Facebook profiles of people I know. That means that this app is uniquely designed to learn about strangers within my line of sigh who, in turn, want random strangers to look up their information. Talk about self-selection bias: the early adopting Recognizr family is going to be a cesspool of creeps and oversharers. I'm willing to hear arguments that I'm being a Luddite here, but this product seems too weird to contemplate.
Police Officer comes clean and plead guilty in Katrina killings case!!!
CATEGORIES news | author: NewspitterNEW ORLEANS - A former police lieutenant pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiring to obstruct justice after federal officials say he helped cover for officers who killed two people on a bridge in the chaos following Hurricane Katrina.
Federal investigators say former lieutenant Michael Lohman knew two people shot to death as they crossed the Danziger Bridge had no weapons, but he and others filed false reports to make the shootings seem justified. Four other people were wounded.
Family members of the victims gathered at the downtown federal courthouse as Lohman arrived to enter his plea.
“We are very, very happy about the progress that the FBI and the US Justice Department have made,’’ said Dr. Romell Madison, brother of Ronald Madison, who was killed on the bridge.
“It’s a tremendous relief for us to see some sort of closure. The people of New Orleans should be relieved that there is still justice for everybody here.’’
Seven officers were charged with murder or attempted murder in the Sept. 4, 2005, shootings, just days after Katrina smashed levees and flooded 80 percent of the city.
But a state judge dismissed the charges in 2008.
Until Lohman’s plea yesterday, no one had been convicted in the deaths of Madison, 40, a mentally disabled man, and James Brissette, 19.
Four others were wounded.
Should U.S Government Allow Paris Hilton To Have A Baby!!
CATEGORIES celebrity, entertainment | author: Newspitter
NEW YORK - Paris Hilton plans to give up public life for family life. The 24-year-old hotel heiress, star of "The Simple Life" reality series, tells Newsweek magazine:
"I thought it was cute to play a dumb blonde. On TV, I do it because it's funny. I consider myself a businesswoman and a brand."
But Hilton says she plans to give up her public life in two years, by which time she expects to become a mother with her fiance, Paris Latsis.
"I don't enjoy going out anymore," she says in the June 20 issue of the magazine, on newsstands Monday.
"It's such a pain. It's everyone saying, `Let's do a deal! Can I have a picture?' I'm just, like, `These people are such losers. I can't believe I used to love doing this.'"

How could you ever trust a man that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on hookers? Perfect hubby qualilty? I think not!
Another dummy is Britney Spears. Out of all the “boys” in the world she picks one that left his pregnant girlfriend for her. What makes you think Ms. Spears that he won’t do the same to you? Even her bodyguard said that he was just out for a free ride on their Chaotic reality show opener. He just wants your money! Break out of your fantasy bubble for just a moment. I feel bad for her slightly and I don’t understand why she would let herself go like that.

CATEGORIES education, news | author: NewspitterLindsay Garcia-Yazdi, a 33-year-old Spanish teacher at Hastings High School in Houston, was arrested late last month for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student numerous times in her van.
Investigators believe the relationship started with text messages, e-mails, and Facebook -- but Garcia-Yazdi eventually scrapped technology in favor of good old-fashioned skankitude: The boy claims she picked him up from a friend's home on December 18, then parked her van in a public park while they had sex in the backseat.
They consorted on two other occasions in January, according to the boy. Both times Garcia-Yazdi picked him up at his house and parked on nearby streets while they steamed up the van.
Garcia-Yazdi, who has not appeared in school since her arrest, is charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a child and one count of an improper relationship. The boy was a student in Garcia-Yazdi's class.
If convicted she could earn 2 to 20 years in prison. She will appear in court on March 10.
A manly looking mother pimps out her own daughter to undercover cop!!!!
CATEGORIES health, life styles | author: Newspitter
Iowa's known for a lot of things, such as pigs and corn and... well... pigs and corn. But the agrarian state isn't regarded for its highly developed prostitution scene. Mary J. Doolin, however, seems to have a corner on the hooker market...
The 60-year-old Cedar Rapids woman has numerous previous busts for pimping and prostitution, mostly likely because she's not very good at it
So when an undercover cop called for a date in Coralville, she sent out one of her girls. But it wasn't just any girl. It was her 37-year-old daughter, Debra Voshell, who offered said cop various fleshly pleasures in exchange for U.S. currency.
The cop, quite naturally, charged Lady Voshell with pandering. Doolin admitted to running a prostitution ring for years.
Local Hero:Teacher Wrestle Gunman Shooting Students At Middle School [Video] ?!
CATEGORIES news | author: NewspitterOccurring nearly three miles from where the Columbine High School happened 11 years, ago a middle school math teacher was able to stop a gunman from creating a new tragedy.
Taking place in Littleton, Colorado, the suspected gunman was pacing through the parking lot of Deer Creek Middle School where he was taking shots at students with a hunting rifle before teacher Daivd Benke tackled the gunman.
Described as a 32-year-old gunman, Benke, with the assistance of another teacher, brought the shooter to the ground and subdued the attacker before he could cause more harm.
According to the Associated Press Benke was unable to stop the shooter before he was able to let off another shot. Keep reading, video of the hero below..
"Unfortunately he got another round off before I could grab him," Benke said. "He figured out that he wasn't going to be able to get another round chambered before I got to him so he dropped the gun and then we were kind of struggling around trying to get him subdued."
Benke stated that he was monitoring the parking lot when he heard the sound, believing it was a firecracker, and went to investigate.
Out of the chaos, two students were shot in the mayhem, but both have survived with one remaining hospitalized in critical condition at The Children's Hospital.
The shooter, Bruco Strongeagle Eastwood, is expected to face at least two counts of attempted murder. In regards to a motive, authorities are unable to figure out why Eastwood targeted the school, but reports show that he attended the school back in the 90's.
He is currently being held at Jefferson County Jail.
According to Eastwood's father, his son suffered from mental problems and heard voices. He added that his son was dealing with financial problems.
5 things your bank won't tell you!!!
CATEGORIES Finance | author: NewspitterDo you assume that your bank serves your best interests? That a big bank's products are better? That your online account information is accurate? Don't believe any of it.
1. "Our branches are there to sell you, not serve you."
Branches aren't just about convenience; they're a bank's primary sales floor. Brochures for services as varied as retirement accounts and home loans are on display, and everyone from the teller on up is trained to make a sale. That's because in the current low-interest-rate climate, it's harder to generate revenue from interest alone. Continue reading.....
2. "Our fees will only go up."
With the economy in a slump and big losses crippling in the mortgage market, banks are looking for reliable revenue streams. Hence punitive fees -- for overdrawing your account, say, or using a competitor's ATM -- are increasing. The average ATM service charge doubled between 1998 and 2007, and overdraft fees brought in $17.5 billion in revenue in 2006, up from $10.3 billion in 2004, according to the Center for Responsible Lending.
3. "We change our interest rates all the time."
Banks can also change the terms of your agreement, raising rates when they like (though you can opt out and pay off the balance at the old rate as long as you never use the card again). Bank of America did that recently, upping many cardholders' rates from 10% or 12% to 27% or more, even though they'd done nothing wrong.
4. "College campuses are gold mines for us."
Students are the customers of the future, and banks are increasingly courting them, often right on campus. More than 120 universities have cut deals with banks to issue student ID cards that are also ATM and check cards. Schools can make millions from these deals, sometimes even taking a small cut of individual purchases.
Students are also a hot market for credit card issuers, and banks will make private deals with alumni associations to get contact information for students, parents and even people buying tickets to university athletic events. Card companies cut deals to set up booths on campus.
5. "In debt? The courts won't help."
Since the late 1990s, banks have been including mandatory-arbitration agreements in their contracts for many of their products, including auto loans, checking accounts, home-equity loans and credit cards. Such agreements prohibit you from suing and instead require you to use an arbitrator -- someone picked by the arbitration firm named in your card contract to hear the dispute and decide the outcome.
A recent suit against an arbitration firm brought by the San Francisco city attorney noted that arbitrators ruled in favor of banks in 100% of the 18,045 California cases brought against consumers from January 2003 through March 2007.
Be very careful When signing up with these shady banks, they will take your money and on top of that receive bail out money from our taxes.

His ex-girlfriend who was involved with Perkins and wishes to remain anonymous, turned him in and tells 6News Indiana,
“It's my personal mission to help save lives. God spared me. I've tested negative for a year. My last AIDS test was in February. Maybe I was the angel to stop the anti-Christ. Find out his response why he decided to spread the virus...
She then says that when she asked him why he did it he replied,
“A whore gave it to me, so if a whore wants to sleep with me on the first night, she deserves what she gets.”
Police believe he had unprotected sex with at least 100 women, 10 of which have come forward so far.
Police now say they'll go through his cell phone records to try and notify the other women.

WTF: 3 NYPD Officers Who Were Accused Of Sodomizing Michael Mineo In A Brooklyn Subway Station Have Been Found Not Guilty!
CATEGORIES news | author: NewspitterA police officer can sleep a little more soundly now as he was acquitted Monday of accusations that he sodomized a drug suspect in a subway station.
Facing a potential 25 years in prison for aggravated sexual abuse, Officer Richard Kern, was accused by the suspect, Michael Mineo, of violating him with a police baton and shoving it up his rectum multiple times. According to Mineo, he was chased down and assaulted after lighting marijuana on the street.
Pics and video below Keeep reading...
Along with Kern, Officers Andrew Morales and Alex Cruz could have faced four years in prison on charges of hindering prosecution as they were accused of helping to cover up the assault.
Morales and Cruz also had the charges dropped against them.
After realizing what they had done, Mineo stated that the officers tried to bribe him to stay quiet on the event and let him go.
Occurring back in October 2008, Mineo filed a lawsuit of $440 million against the city.
When asked about his future, Kern stated: "Hopefully get back on the street and do what I love to do: protecting the people of Brooklyn."
Kern, however, plead a different case and stated that he was under the belief that Mineo was emotionally disturbed after he started to go crazy and let him go due to the low priority of marijuana possession for his department.
The case fell onto the credibility and believability of Mineo as he is a self-professed member of the Crips gang and his criminal background is full of arrests. His body language during while on the witness stand showed his agitation, whereas the defense was calm and collected.
Just another case of fighting the law, and the law always prevails.
Check the video below of Mineo being hospitalized.

When they discovered that she was not, the girl was buried again, and the stoning continued.
At some point, it was too much for the crowd, and they stormed down from the stadium bleachers to try to stop the horrifying execution. The military opened fire on the mob, and a young boy was killed by their gunfire. The 50 men finally completed their task; the young girl was dead.
