A toddler who had been taken into care died after being found floating in her foster parents' swimming pool.

Anna Hider, 17 months, was discovered unconscious in the water by the couple at their home in Hampshire on Sunday evening.

She was taken to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in nearby Portsmouth, but was pronounced dead an hour later.

Last night, Anna's devastated parents blamed the decision to take their daughter into care for her death.

It is believed the foster family were entertaining guests at a party at the house when the tragedy unfolded. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=471778&in_page_id=1770&ct=5

I wrote this in another answer and thought it was a good question.

I believe in God and that He created the Universe -- but He wrote the creation story very simple and left out all the hard DNA/plate tectonics info. and went for more spiritual content instead of scienctific clarity.

what do you think?

I told my mother that she was a bad mother, because she was. No wait!

I told her that I am not willing to sacrifice my adgenda to help her at the last minute. I told her that I wouldn't because she uses her time to hang out with bad people. Those same bad people are the individuals how tormentment and ridicule me for not dealing with them. They use verbal abuse and intimidations to contol. I just ignore her becuase I know she could not do nothing.... Anywho. I told my mother that I want to get myself "together" now so that I could be a good mother when I have children.

I want to be as honest as possible with her. I love her and want her to get the message, but she just doesn't seem to here unless I say something direct. In this direct ness I believe I hurt her feelings. I had a family member hurt my feelings, and it was my first time ever feeling any emotional pain. I cut this person off so f98king quick! I just hope that I haven't given the same pain to my mother.

how do you liberate a nation which is occupied by a foreign power whose government is brutal and is run by just a few people who hold on to their power. We sure know that the UN doesn't work. After all those peaceful protesting and non -violent activism it hasn't proven successful and there's been no results for the freedom of the oppressed people. We all know that the nations of the world act in their own self interest. so how do we fight this dictatorship to gain freedom? if there's any freedom fighters out there, what would you suggest? i am sorry but i can't give further details cuz i am a private person dealing with this issue.

why did God create satan Knowing that he would fall, and who is satan that he demands payment for sin? He must be greater than God if he Demands payment for sin right? Yes.( The person that demands payment for something is greater than the person who has to pay).even if not so. Why did God have to crucify Jesus? Who the **** is satan do demand this payment? Why would i want to worship a God that knows this would happen ?For what reason would he allow this to happen? everything was created by God right ? everything! evil ? Who the **** is satan and Who is God? If satan is not greater than God How could he demand Payment for sin ?

I've been living with my boyfriend for about 4 years already we have a 3 year old child together.Great dad no complaints provides everything we need. When I first found out iI was pregnant he was very happy but confessed to me that he was not in love with me. I was crushed.We live together and get along well. Sex life is very active. Still his emotions have not changed. I like to remind him that I love him by leaving little notes in his lunch or wallet. I never expect him to keep them but recently he showed me one of them that he put away in his wallet. And he also has one hidden behind his I.D in his wallet. So my question is will ever tell me if he loved or would he keep it to himself? He was hurt once before when we were just friends and he would mention sometimes that it would be hard to love again after that. So should I stay or should I go? PLEASE HELP!

It's getting time for me to get into college and I'm not 100% sure of what I want to be. I want to do a job that has to do with cars but I cant find any that are even worth going to college. The most an Automotive technitian gets is 30k Mechanical engineers get about the same though i dont know if they even have to do with cars, and Automotive engineers I've never actually heard of them just a clever name I thought a career would be given. So If yall could list the best car related jobs that pay a whole bunch of money it would be greatly appreciated

Would you put a guily father's son in prison when the one who killed a person was only the father? No, ofcourse! This logic is rediculous and absurd. If Adam sinned then why would God not just punish Adam and give Adam's children a chance to prove themselves? If God is fair there should not be any sin stuck to us since we were not even born. It should be so that when we were born we were sinless and then we get punished if we sin, and that's it. God could easily have figured that, but instead He had to complicate things, for what purpose? Adam sinned and betrayed him, so does that mean that God's other creations must suffer with Adam as well. It is like bombing Iraq to kill criminals but not concerning the women and children who are innocent. Such a rule and act is not kind a loving. It was a rule made up by man written down in that fairytale so that soceity would tithe the church. God, why is it so hard to understand simple logic?

OK, I have read enough in the past couple of months to make my head explode! But I would like a few experinced opinions. I am doing my first PC build, and I'm kind of stumped on a motherboard. I'm going with an E6600 Core 2 duo CPU, a 300GB Seagate HD, and I intend to run Windows XP. I am just not ready to deal with all the bugs I have read about with Vista yet. I may upgrade later. I am not a hard core gamer, so overclocking is not REAL important to me, but I wouldn't mind having the option if I choose to do so. I plan on going with 2GB of DDR2 ram, maybe more in the future. I mainly just want a reliable MB, with a little 'wiggle room' if I decide to make some tweaks later on. I should also note, I have already purchased a 550W power supply. Is that enough? I will run 2 DVD drives, and a mid level video card. Gaming is not important, so no SLI. All of my drives will be SATA. I will also be running 3-4 fans, and most likley a fan controller and a couple of cold cathode lights. Thanks!
