I've grown so used to having Dateline NBC's Chris Hansen around to stop all the world's predators, it's hard to remember a time before that--a pre-Hansen era when crimes against children still existed. Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones takes us back to that time, the early '70s,... / Continue →

If Orphan's tale of adoption gone horrifically wrong got adoption groups up in arms, wait until bringing dead fetuses to term groups hear about this one. In Grace, a car accident tragically kills a mother's unborn child; rather than remove the corpse within her, the determined,... / Continue →
