Teen ‘tomboy’ fights, changes high school dress code that bans girls from wearing pants at graduation - Fox News

Posted: 03 Mar 2019 11:49 AM PST

A teenager in North Carolina successfully changed her high school's dress code that prevented girls from wearing pants to their graduation ceremony.

Lacey Henry, a senior at Cumberland Polytechnic High School in Fayetteville started a change.org campaign late last month to petition the school's requirement that girls wear black dresses, black heels and black panty hose for graduation.

TEXAS SCHOOL CHANGES DRESS CODE TO BATTLE TEEN VAPING EPIDEMIC

"As a young woman in 2019, the students expect freedom of dress and choice for their body, but instead, their bodies are over-sexualized and objectified," she wrote in the since-removed petition, Yahoo Lifestyle reported. "It is time for Cumberland Polytechnic High School to step into this century and remove these patriarchal standards for their students."

The campaign reportedly pulled in more than 780 signatures when it was up.

"Heavier students are always in violation because their clothing can be tighter in some places and guys show their bare chests. The district once barred a girl from attending her own graduation ceremony — even as an audience member — because she wore pants," Henry said to Yahoo Lifestyle.

Henry, a self-described "tomboy," was moved to start the petition after she felt it was a violation of Title IX – a federal law that bans schools from sex- or gender-based discrimination.

"I personally do not feel super confident in a dress," she said to the Fayetteville Observer. "I would have to go out and purchase a new dress."

After the campaign took off, Henry sent a letter to her principal and the district superintendent about the dress code, Yahoo Lifestyle reported. To which, Henry's principal responded by sharing a press release effectively changing the dress code.

"Cumberland County Schools' Regulation Code: 4316-R3 Graduation Student Dress Code provides guidance on regalia requirements for high school graduations. Some additional graduation attire guidelines are developed at the school level to ensure all students are dressed in a manner appropriate to the solemnity of the occasion. However, school-level graduation guidelines will not require students to conform to a specific type of attire based on their gender, and they will be fully compliant with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. We will continue to provide guidance to schools as they finalize their graduation guidelines for the Class of 2019," Principal Daniel J. Krumanocker Jr. sent to Henry.

Though Henry said that administration discussed her concerns and that an updated dress code was presented for her to view and sign, she said the amendments still require those who wear pants to graduation to also wear a tie.

"It's definitely a deterrent for girls," Lacey tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "But I will wear pants and a tie."

'Absolute miracle:' Rescuers find missing California sisters - WJBF-TV

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 05:44 AM PST

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Armed with some outdoor survival training, granola bars and pink rubber boots, 5- and 8-year-old sisters survived 44 hours in rugged Northern California wilderness before they were found dehydrated and cold but in good spirits on Sunday, authorities said.

A fire chief and firefighter from a local volunteer department found Leia and Caroline Carrico in a wooded area about 1½ miles (2.3 kilometers) from their home in the small community of Benbow, where they had last been seen Friday afternoon, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said.

Benbow is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northwest of Sacramento.

The girls were "safe and sound" and uninjured, thanks in part to survival training they got with their local 4-H club, Honsal said.

"This is an absolute miracle," he said. "This is rugged territory, this is an extreme environment. How they were out there for 44 hours is pretty amazing."

A photo of one of the girls posted by the sheriff's office and already being widely shared on social media shows her wearing pink rubber boots, dirty jeans, a long pink shirt and a woolen cap. She is standing while a firefighter kneels down and talks to her.

One person commented that "she looks like a seasoned outdoor gal" while another said, "those little adventurers will sure have a story to tell!"

Honsal said the girls were given fresh warm clothes, water and food and were being assessed but were in good spirits and doing well.

"A lot of us didn't get any sleep the last 48 hours or so," Honsal said. "To have a positive outcome like this is just absolutely amazing ... These girls definitely have a survival story to tell."

He said the firefighters who found the girls had followed their boot prints. The firefighters were part of a massive search of a vast and rugged rural area that included a dozen agencies, including the National Guard, helicopters and tracking dogs.

Rescuers were hopeful about finding the girls Saturday after they came across prints from their boots and wrappers from granola bars, Lt. Mike Fridley said.

"The wrappers showed us a direction from where they started to where the wrappers ended up at," Fridley said.

Fridley said he was the one who got to call the girls' mother and tell them her daughters were alive.

"She melted on the phone," he said.

After going missing for nearly two days in a rugged wooded area of Northern California, two young sisters were found safe on Sunday. 

Boot prints and granola bar wrappers helped a search team find the girls, ages 5 and 8, 1.4 miles south of their home on Sunday morning. Caroline and Leia Carrico were last seen Friday afternoon outside their Benbow home about 200 miles northwest of Sacramento, said Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal.

"This has been unbelievable," Honsal said at a press conference. "We could not have a better outcome than we've had this morning. This is an absolute miracle."

Although dehydrated and cold, the girls were in good spirits, Honsal said.

Local agencies and the National Guard had searched for the sisters for 44 hours using helicopters and tracking dogs. Medical personnel checked on the girls, the sheriff said, and officials gave them water, food and warm clothes. 

Wilderness survival training the sisters learned at their 4-H club helped them survive uninjured, according to Honsal.

Some community members expressed their amazement in responses to a photo the sheriff's office posted on Facebook. The photo shows a firefighter kneeling and talking with one of the girls clad in pink boots and dirty jeans. 

"Those little adventurers will sure have a story to tell!" one user commented. 

"She looks like a seasoned outdoor gal she had this," another said. 

Officials did not say how the girls went missing, but the sheriff's office said it will give more information later.

Before they reunited, Lt. Mike Fridley of the sheriff's office called the girls' mother with the good news, he said.

"She melted on the phone," Fridley said.

He imitated college softball coaches to get pornography from girls. He’s going to prison - Miami Herald

Posted: 03 Mar 2019 09:04 AM PST

An Alabama travel girls softball coach was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after admitting to imitating softball coaches for two college programs for pornographic purposes.

Jason Ford's sentence on a charge of attempting to produce child pornography includes 20 years of supervised release and a lifetime as a registered sex offender.

Ford, from Dothan, Alabama, ran Elite Lady Sox Fast Pitch Softball Team. He worked in the Dothan school system as a Northview High School teaching assistant.

Among the jobs he's never held are assistant softball coach from either the University of South Carolina or the University of North Florida.

But Ford electronically dressed himself in those coaching clothes in text messages and emails to high school softball players. In 2017, he started posing as North Florida assistant Jeff Conrad and South Carolina's Matt Lisle in emails from addresses Jconrad17@yahoo.com and coachlislesoftball@yahoo.com, respectively.

(Hint for high school parents and players in any sport: regard with suspicion any college coach emails that aren't from a university email address. For example, all University of South Carolina coach emails come from addresses that end "@mailbox.sc.edu.")

According to Ford's admission of facts, he asked high school players in Florida, Alabama and Tennessee about their clothes sizes and to keep their conversations private or "he would go on to the next girl on the list."

Once each school learned of an electronic imposter, it contacted its local FBI office. The FBI's Miami office got involved in 2018 as "one of the few FBI offices that conduct online undercover operations."

The lure: One undercover agent acted as a high school softball coach who knew another coach contacted by Ford. Ford asked the "coach" to pass his number along to a 15-year-old recruit.

The bait: A text message to Ford from a 15-year-old pitcher and middle infielder named "Brooke Bradley."

Ford didn't just bite, he chomped.

His admission says "he began asking the juvenile questions about her clothing and bra size and then indicated he wanted her to wear a two-piece swimsuit when they were together."

And he told Brooke she was making his "body parts excited! I hope you like that."

After advancing their conversation to orgasms, "Brooke" offered photos of her genitalia. Ford requested breast photos as well. "Brooke" asked for payment. Ford agreed, then "asked the child to video herself masturbating and then send him the video."

Ford sent "Brooke" photos of the gift card codes from a three-pack of Amazon gift cards on April 25, 2018. That constituted payment.

Law enforcement reeled Ford in on May 7, 2018.
