Why was Sparklebox Registered Offender Caught for the 2nd Time?

A former teacher and convicted paedophile who ran one of the UK’s biggest education websites has been jailed for a 2nd time for making indecent images of children.

Sparklebox, which allows customers to create classroom resources, has now been banned by many schools and councils.

The former teacher was jailed for 9 months in 2005 for downloading pornographic images of children from the internet while working at a Warwickshire school, but reinvented himself as “Samuel” after changing his name by deed poll.

Last week he was jailed for a year at Worcester Crown Court after admitting making more than 400 indecent and pseudo photographs of children.

A judge had lifted his internet ban back in 2005, after which the teacher set up Sparklebox. But he remained a registered sex offender and cannot work with children.

Police previously blocked Sparklebox during their investigations which led to fears the website wasn’t safe.

Their advice to teachers now is that it is safe to use, but anyone who has downloaded the website’s toolbar should delete it.

The former teacher’s latest offences were discovered by police in September 2009 even though he had been using sophisticated “eraser” software that automatically deleted the photographs. The court heard there was no suggestion he had been distributing pornography through Sparklebox.

His access to the internet has again been restricted.

It is unclear what will now happen to Sparklebox. The website’s blog has disappeared, but in an older post staff denied the accusations against the former teacher and said there was no “valid reason” for blocking the site.

!!! ACCESS DENIED !!!

Parental Alienation Syndrome:

What is Parental Alienation Syndrome?

I intend to make you aware of this Alienation Syndrome that is allegedly happening to children in the U.S. Many are reporting that children are being forced to enter treatment programs. This controversial and very sensitive issue erupted last week following a Toronto judge forcibly removing three girls from their mother and  then sending them for treatment to a U.S. centre in an undisclosed location. This apparently is the third time this year.

Drug addiction and treatment substance abuse happens quite legally. Prescription medicines are very addictive drugs. I have put together some interesting videos for your perusal.

Oxycodone is a strong opioid analgesic (pain killer) drug with a high potential to cause physical and psychological dependence. Once the addictive problems of heroin and morphine became well known, it was decided not to make pain killers using morphine substitutes.

Xanax and  Niravam, is a short-acting drug of the benzodiazepine class used to treat moderate to severe anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety associated with  major depression.

If there existed a best ever rock band list, that consisted of the 100 greatest rock bands, then I would expect to see Metallica and Guns’n'Roses on that list. Who would you expect to see on the 100 greatest rock band list?

Did you know that Metallica, the world’s biggest heavy rock band, were widely ridiculed for making their last album, 2003’s comparatively sensitive St Anger, under the guidance of a psychotherapist.

In terms of regaining their primacy, Death Magnetic is every inch the record they needed to make: a more wisely chosen mentor, producer Rick Rubin, has them exploding anew with the battle-rabid, flat-out thrash-metal of their late-Eighties heyday.

Others who have been helped by Psychotherapy are Axl Rose. Lead singer from Guns’n'Roses. Where ever and when ever he felt the need, he flew his own personal psychotherapist to him and usually went through extensive emotional work for 4-5 days at a time.
