Oh, wait, I know, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello. No, no, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo? Forget them all -- the two people you really want to see make a porno are Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's Mama June and Sugar Bear. Admit it. Even if you're furiously shaking your head right now (or not, I'm not going to judge), the reality is that one big porn honcho is betting a Mama June/Sugar Bear sex tape will make a killing, and he's offering the on-off couple big bucks to make it happen.

Steve Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment, the company behind Kim Kardashian's sex tape, recently wrote Mama June a letter in which he proposed giving the couple $1 million or more to star in a film that would be marketed for lovers of "BBW," which stands for big, beautiful women.

Not only did Hirsch promise June and Sugar Bear an "enjoyable" experience, but he also writes that she can have as much creative input as she'd like.

So there are two ways of looking at this offer. The first: the family has already been dragged through the mud with rumors about Mama's relationship with an accused sex offender and allegations that the man may have molested June's own daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell. What's the big deal if they are plagued by yet another scandal?

On the other hand -- and more importantly -- their children have been through enough embarrassment and crazy. The last thing they need is to find out their parents are all over the Internet having sex. One million dollars isn't nearly enough money to agree to this deal -- and I don't think there is an amount that would make it worthwhile. These two need to lay low for the next few months (decades?) and work on their personal lives.

Do you think Mama June and Sugar Bear will make a sex tape? Should they?

Tatiana Daniel, 20, who has a child, and 24-year-old Shandale Franklin, who has two young children with Bryan Adams, 34, were reportedly responsible for recruiting the middle school and high school girls through Facebook. They allegedly offered them $800 for one night of partying, where they would be provided "drinks, weed and food" and would be expected to perform sex acts with "lawyers, doctors, teachers, whatever."

The girls were reportedly instructed to wearing "something cute, like nice panties and bras." Adams then allegedly had the task of weighing in on his wife and friend's young candidates and making the final call as to whether they were "too big" for the child sex party, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Robotti.

Not that it matters what time of day the parties were held, but it somehow seems even more disgusting to learn that the trio planned the sex events during school hours and told the tweens and teens they would have to skip class to make it.

Seriously insane. To think these three adults have children of their own AND STILL have absolutely no problem corrupting the morals of young people and putting their lives and health in danger is just reprehensible. And there really aren't even words in the English language to describe any adult "lawyer, doctor, teacher, whatever" who would have sex with a young girl or watch her pole dance.

The three suspects are being held without bail. If convicted, they could each face a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison -- and they deserve every second of that consequence.

What sentence do you feel these suspects deserve if they are found guilty?

The 39-year-old actress has reportedly contracted a mild case of the chickenpox, which you figure is going to happen when you have 6 children. She wanted to be crystal clear about her decision to send husband Brad Pitt and her kids in her place to the Los Angeles premiere of the epic biopic she directed -- so she made a quickie video explaining her decision.

Universal Pictures released the video of Angie explaining that she "will be home, itching and missing everyone. And I can't believe it, because this film means so much to me ... but such is life."

In a statement, Universal said: "We all wish Angelina a speedy recovery and look forward to her returning to her work very soon. She is in very good spirits, considering after two years of hard work, she will not be there the night it finally premieres."

The 25-year-old Nashville star and her boxer partner welcomed a baby girl on Dec. 9, her reps have confirmed. Their cutie pie was born weighing 7 lbs., 14 oz. and measured 20 inches. And now for her amazing, sweet, melodic name -- it's one that is exotic, yet prevalent in every corner of the globe AND has about a gazillion different meanings.

Hayden and Wladimir named their princess Kaya Klitschko. I love the pretty and feminine sound of Kaya and, if I would have had to guess, I would have said it originated in Hawaii. But I'm wrong -- the origin of "Kaya" is Native American, Hopi and means "my elder little sister," which implies that the little girl is wise beyond her years. Awww.

But the meaning of Kaya doesn't start and end there. In Turkey, it means "rock." In Indonesian, it means "wealthy." In some languages of India, it means "skin," and (don't read this, Hayden) in Jamaican slang it's actually another word for marijuana.

As a girl with a bazillion friends and acquaintances, you didn't expect her to celebrate with a quiet dinner at home, did you? The Blank Space singer planned a huge bash at her New York City apartment after the Z100 Jingle Ball concert and everyone from Beyonce and Jay Z to Justin Timberlake stopped by. Were there photos? Oh, you betcha. Here are all the details.

While Taylor was hard at work entertaining the youth of America, sources say a bunch of bags from Whole Foods, 20 boxes of pizza, eight bags of Japanese food, and bottles and bottles of beer like Blue Moon and Stella were delivered to her apartment. The singer reportedly requested a balloon time machine and filled her place with festive silver and gold balloons.

Now, for the exclusive guest list: Bey and Jay Z, which is crazy because who else can't picture them even having a 5 minute conversation with Taylor? Also: BFF Karlie Kloss, Justin Timberlake without his pregnant wife Jessica Biel, Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo, Charli XCX, Chrissy Teigen, Jaime King, Selena Gomez, Sam Smith, Kelly Osbourne, and 5 Seconds of Summer.

Nursing student Sandra Lommen was only 20 and had reportedly spent the night drinking to excess at a party before the horrific incident took place.

Lommen was reportedly intoxicated and walking by herself to Linden Gall dorm after spending the night at an off-campus party. Police are unsure why she wandered off from the road more than a mile away from the school, but a passerby found her at around 8:30 a.m. -- six hours after she left the party -- and she was still breathing. She died later.

Investigators say the young woman must have accidentally wandered into a frozen creek, but then managed to get herself out and passed out about 50 yards from the water. She was wearing a winter coat and boots, but that wasn't enough to keep her from suffering from hypothermia, according to police.

The results of an autopsy have not yet been released. Police say they are investigating who purchased alcohol for the underage student and plan to hold someone responsible for this tragedy.

We know that many college kids -- whether they're 21 or not -- are going to drink. Rather than preach to them about not drinking to excess -- and, by all means, we should do that too -- we need to make sure they understand that, if they are going to consume alcohol, they must make sure they don't take dangerous risks like traveling to and from places alone.

This young woman was just beginning to live and it's horrible to think of her grieving family having to come to terms with her senseless death. Our hearts go out to them.

Clik here to view.Um, thanks, dad? The one man in Kate Hudson's life who should always have her back instead pretty much slammed her and took an unnecessary dig at his ex (Kate's mom) Goldie Hawn during a recent interview. Just one week after Kate announced her split from British rock star Matt Bellamyof Muse, her dad Bill Hudson rubbed salt in the wound by coming forward to explain why his 35-year-old daughter can't seem to make a stable relationship work. Prepare yourself to feel just a wee bit uncomfortable.

Let's recap Kate's relationships to gain some perspective on where Bill is coming from: she was married to Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and they share a son named Ryder. She divorced from him at an early age and dated famous men like Owen Wilson, Lance Armstrong, Alex Rodriguez, and Dax Shephard. She has recently been linked to Derek Hough. Not sure why this is such a big issue since she was single at the time of all of these hook-ups, but okay.

After learning about Kate's most recent breakup -- she and Bellamy were engaged for four years and are parents to a little boy named Bingham -- Bill reportedly said, "She has a wandering eye, just like her mother. When you are in a bubble -- and Kate's been in a bubble her whole life as the daughter of a celebrity and now a celebrity herself -- it is much harder to sustain a long-term relationship."

That wasn't enough. He reportedly added, "To be a star, by its very definition, you have to be selfish. To sustain her level of fame Kate has to put herself first, and that isn't a recipe for successful romance."

Ouch. Harsh truth or just harsh? See, the thing is, Kate has made no bones about blaming Bill for contributing to her inability to settle down. And Bill himself (sort of) took responsibility, admitting that he feels guilty for more or less abandoning her when she was a girl after things with Goldie took a turn for the worse.

But, the thing is, if you feel guilty for the role you played -- or didn't play -- in your daughter's life, the least you could do is stay quiet and NOT comment on her love life. It's simply not your place to do so.

If this man truly cared about Kate and her well being, the last thing he would do is take this opportunity to show he's still carrying a grudge against her and Goldie because their lives together didn't work out as planned. Move on. Accept your daughter for who she is. Or, how about trying to repair your relationship with your child -- something that certainly won't happen while you're blabbing about her being selfish and having a roving eye.

Just gross.

Clik here to view.Sometimes you meet someone who you think is SO perfect .. with the exception of that one little thing that drives you crazy about them. Assuming your request isn't that they change their personality or friends or stop speaking to their mother, you sometimes compromise in order to keep each other happy. Kim Kardashian recently revealed the little thing -- huge for her -- that Kanye West made her do when they started dating. Hint: if she made a promise to follow his rule, she definitely didn't keep it for very long.

When they first met and began hitting up hot spots and restaurants, Kanye put his foot down and told selfie-obsessed Kim not to take out her phone during dinner. Kanye, who lived without a phone for four years, told her he thought it was very rude for them to keep checking their cells while in each other's company -- a rule the couple asked their wedding guests to follow, as well, so they could be "in the moment."

We joke a lot about how Kanye loves to wear the pants at all times in their relationship, but this is one rule I can get behind. He's right. When you constantly check your phone, the message you send to your partner, or to anyone who has taken time out of their busy lives to be in your company, is that you aren't completely present with them. Or that their company isn't enough and you'd love to be somewhere else at the moment.

As for taking selfies, I can't help but feel like a person obsessed with documenting where she is at all times is more concerned with proving to the world that she has an extravagant life than with actually living it and having real conversations with people that matter.

No word on whether they're roughing it at a campsite or paying big bucks to stay at a five-star resort, but I'm kind of loving the fact that they've chosen to explore their own state -- no matter how they decide to spend their time there.

Clik here to view.A gunman suspected to be an Islamic terrorist is reportedly holding an unknown number of hostages inside of a chocolate shop in Sydney, and Australian police are unsure of his motivation. The incident began at 9:45 a.m. local time on Monday, when a man carrying a gun and a bag entered a Lindt Chocolate Cafe in the crowded shopping district Martin Place and held workers and customers hostage. He reportedly claimed "political motivation," according to Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and placed a black flag used by Islamist terrorist groups in the window -- but has yet to officially declare the frightening siege a terrorist attack. At one point during the siege, five hostages were seen running away from the cafe, but it's unclear whether they escaped or were released.

A representative from Lindt confirmed that there were 10 employees and 30 customers inside of the cafe at the time of the siege. Workers in nearby offices were told to leave the premises; others were asked to stay indoors and away from windows.

About six hours after the suspect took control of the shop, three people were seen running from the building. They were followed by two more hostages about one hour later.

The gunman is reportedly someone familiar to police, though they are not releasing his name. He allegedly forced his hostages to call media outlets and use their own personal social media accounts to rattle off a list of his demands, but police have asked that media outlets not publicize those demands.

What makes this story so incredibly terrifying is that it's still developing. It's now nighttime in Sydney, and the gunman has reportedly turned off the lights in the shop. He can apparently be seen pacing back and forth past the cafe's windows and is making hostages stand for hours in front of the window, at times holding up the black flag, which features the Shahada written on it -- the Islamic declaration of faith.

Up to 100 heavily armed police are reportedly surrounding the cafe. Our hearts are with those terrified hostages, and we hope this horrific situation is resolved soon and that everyone emerges safe from the siege.

What do you suspect are the gunman's demands?

Clik here to view.When you think about a female celebrity who has been criticized for not having children, the name Jennifer Aniston is at the tippy-top of that list. The 45-year-old Cake actress revealed in a recent interview with Allure magazine that the pressure she feels to have kids is enormous and that, frankly, she's fed up with everyone assuming she isn't a complete woman if she hasn't given birth. And then she said something that will either make you cringe or cheer: according to Jen, the fact that a child hasn't come out of her vagina (her words) "doesn't mean you aren't mothering -- dogs, friends, friends' children."

If you're a mom, you know it takes a great deal of sweat, stress, and sacrifice to raise happy, healthy children. We spend hours trying to help them solve impossible math problems. They get sick and we kiss our night and sleep good-bye. We're there for them every step of the way: through teething, tantrums, first heartbreaks, and while they're filling out 50 or so college applications.

The last thing most moms want to hear is anything that implies a mother is someone who has the option of walking away when the going gets tough -- even if that just means she's walking away for 15 minutes to take a walk around the block.

It's fabulous to think Jennifer treats her friends' children like they are her own. Maybe she gives them good advice, buys them birthday gifts, and even disciplines them with tough love at times. But when the child in question totally rebels and steals the family car to go to a party, it isn't Jen's car that is being lifted AND she gets to be all the way on the opposite end of the Earth filming a movie when the proper punishment has to be doled out.

Here's the thing, though: Jen isn't actually saying she is a mother to dogs, cats, and kids everywhere -- she's saying she is "mothering." And mothering is a fantastic quality that many people possess and that some moms don't possess.

Someone who mothers the people we cherish in our lives dotes on them, protects them, and reports back to us when they see our child smoking in the schoolyard or hanging out with the wrong crowd. A surrogate mom serves as a vital member of that village we all wish still existed to help raise our children. A mothering person is compassionate and shows an ability to nurture -- and, like Jen said, that quality can apply to a baby, pet, or vegetable garden.

Jennifer hit the nail on the head here. A woman's worth shouldn't be based on whether or not she has children, but on how well she treats those people, animals, and entities who need her most.

What do you think about Jennifer's comments on being a mother?

Rockell Coleman, 28, reportedly left her kids by themselves so that she could go out to a restaurant with friends. When a fire broke out at their house that night, sons Jarvis, 10, AJ, 9, and Shamari, 5, survived, but 4-year-old Preston and 3-year-old Haskel were killed in the blaze.

Police are unsure of how the fire started but say AJ acted as a hero and rescued two of his brothers from the house. He reportedly tried to go back into their home to save his other siblings, but firefighters stopped him. Haskel and Preston died at the scene and Jarvis was rushed to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Hospital and placed on life support.

As for Coleman, there is some conflicting info out there as to who was really supposed to be responsible for her children that night. Her mother claims that her son's ex-girlfriend had recently moved in with Coleman and the children and that she was supposed to be babysitting them the night Coleman went out. Since the incident, no one has been able to get in touch with the mystery woman for questioning.

When authorities broke the awful news to Coleman that her two youngest children were killed in the fire, she was reportedly so upset that she had to be sedated and continued to remain sedated while police questioned her. Coleman's mother is also taking issue with this allegation, saying it isn't right to question her while she is under the influence of legal drugs.

Coleman faces two counts of felony murder, as well as five counts of cruelty to children in the second degree.

I would ordinarily feel little sympathy for the mom in a case like this one, but I have to admit that I don't feel entirely sure of the charges she faces if she really did leave someone she assumed was a responsible caretaker in charge of her children. If her story is true, something this horrific and heartbreaking could happen to any one of us when we go out and trust that a babysitter will care for our kids.

Until we hear from the woman whom Coleman claims was put in charge of watching her five children, I can't condemn her for this -- yet.

How do you feel about this mom being charged with murder in this case?

Bradley William Stone, 35, was reportedly involved in a custody feud with ex-wife Nicole Hill, who neighbors say considered him dangerous long before this incident and feared for her life. The alleged shooting spree that took place is one of the worst we've heard about and reportedly involved several innocent children whose lives will never be the same again.

Police believe Stone's first victims in this horrific tragedy were Hill's sister, Patricia Flick, her husband Aaron Flick, and their 14-year-old daughter Nina. They were reportedly killed at their home at around 3:30 a.m. Their 17-year-old son Anthony was allegedly wounded in the head and is in the hospital receiving treatment.

Stone's second stop was at the house of Hill's mother, Joanne Hill, and grandmother Patricia Hill. Someone at the house reportedly called 911, which led police to their home, but they didn't arrive in time to save the two women.

Stone's ex-wife was reportedly his last target. Police say he arrived at her home just before 4 a.m. and killed her, possibly in front of their children.

One neighbor told police he heard three or four gunshots go off -- and then one of the most horrific parts of all: he says he heard children screaming, "Mommy, no! Mommy, no!" and that the suspect was then heard saying, "We gotta go, we gotta go."

Stone reportedly brought his children to a neighbor's house and dropped them off at about 5 a.m. Then he vanished and no one has seen him since.

He has been described as a Caucasian man standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall and about 200 pounds. He may be using a cane or walker to get around. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Stone is a military veteran who served as a Marine reservist from 2002 to 2011. He was deployed to Iraq once and reportedly suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, which resulted in his discharge.

Schools in the area were reportedly on lockdown as police search the nearby woods and homes. Let's hope they capture him and get to the bottom of this before anyone else is hurt. And, it goes without saying, our thoughts are with the children who were woken up out of their sleep and forced to become a part of this nightmare.

Why do you think Stone allegedly went on a shooting spree?

Clik here to view.Angelina Jolie’s new film Unbroken promises to be an epic, emotional retelling of the story of an Olympic track star who became a prisoner of war during World War II. As you may have heard by now, Angie caught chickenpox and sent her adorable family in her place to the Los Angeles premiere last night. But instead of focusing on the film and its message -- or, if we’re going to concentrate on Angelina’s gorgeous kids, just how gorgeous they are -- quite a few people have been in a tizzy over her 8-year-old daughter Shiloh. Specifically, they have a lot to say about the fact that she showed up to the event dressed like her two older brothers -- tuxedo and all.

If you’ve ever read a story in which the star talks about her children, you may already know that Shiloh isn’t your typical girly-girl. She doesn’t like wearing dresses. She has a cool-girl short haircut. She isn’t even a tween yet and she has some strong ideas about style and what she likes and doesn’t like.

Naturally, why wouldn’t we criticize such a wonderfully opinionated little girl for her unorthodox choice of evening attire and, while we’re at it, be all judgy against Angelina and denounce her for letting her daughter be seen in a tux. Right?

So wrong it isn’t even funny.

Angelina should be praised for letting Shiloh be Shiloh and for not giving a damn what the press or anyone else has to say about it. Maybe she wants to be a boy. Maybe she admires her brothers so much that she wants to dress like them. Maybe she just loves black and white or a sharp suit.

Goodness, where else have we seen a famous woman in the spotlight who shares this masculine style sensibility? Hmm ... thinking ... thinking ... ah, yes, that would be her beautiful mother, who has been known to kill it at events while dressed in tailored suits.

Marlene Dietrich, anyone? Madonna? Rihanna? I could go on, but the point of this debate has nothing to do with what an 8-year-old wants to wear and everything to do with people’s shock at the fact that two parents not only don’t care that she’s wearing a tux, but are encouraging her to express herself and stay fearless.

Angie and Brad are proving they actually want their daughter to bravely stay true to herself and wear what she feels comfortable wearing.

More from The Stir: The Real Reason Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Wants to Be a Boy

When I hear my 3-year-old daughter talk about not wanting to wear her blue pants because they're "boy pants," I actually feel sad. I didn't teach her that some clothes are "boy" clothes and others are "girl" clothes, but she's still getting that message at such a young age. At the same time, I don't care if she wants to parade around all day long in tutus -- I want to let her try to figure out for herself what she likes. And it doesn't have to be the preppy look that I would have her parade around in all day, every day. If she's 3 and prefers purple frills -- fantastic.

The tide is turning. Brangelina is helping fashion and gender identification forward by refusing to embrace traditional gendered dress. Kudos to them -- and props to Shiloh for looking adorable.

Would you let your young daughter go out wearing a tuxedo or suit?

Clik here to view.A mother from Phoenix who was on probation for child abuse was charged -- again -- for child abuse when she allegedlystabbed her two children while they sleptin their beds Monday. Brenda Begay, 38, reportedly snuck into her 12-year-old daughter's room first and attacked her with a knife, according to police. The little girl woke up as she was being assaulted and said her mother then went into her 13-year-old brother's room, stabbed him in the chest, and cut him on the wrist. Begay then reportedly called police herself and told them her children were dying. But the bizarre excuse she gave them was what really got them scratching their heads.

After placing the knife she used in the kitchen sink and telling her daughter she was going to heaven, Begay reportedly waited outside of her house for police officers to arrive. She then claimed she was only trying to protect her kids from being raped. But her story didn't add up: there was reportedly no evidence found at the scene that linked her actions to a rape.

And even if there were, why would a mother stab her children in order to protect them?

What makes this incident even more peculiar is that Begay served six months in jail back in 2006 after she pleaded no contest to child abuse involving domestic violence. We aren't sure why Begay has custody of her two children now or the exact details of her past crime, but police say the kids do not have any other family or financial support.

Both children suffered puncture wounds and are being hospitalized, but are expected to survive. Once they are released, they will be placed in custody at the Department of Child Safety.

It's a blessing that these children survived this attack, but it's excruciatingly painful to think of how they will have to carry on knowing their mother did this to them. Police are still trying to figure out the mom's motive behind the stabbing.

Why do you think this mother would allegedly do something like this to her children?

What we didn't expect was that one of Justin's good buddies -- Joey Fatone himself from the band 'N Sync -- would wind up spilling the beans about Jessica's pregnancy. But here it is, actual confirmation that this gorgeous couple is in the process of creating a third gorgeous person. AND we have photographic proof of it, as well: someone caught Jess at a concert and posted photos to Twitter that totally show off her adorable, growing baby bump.

Justin's old bandmate Fatone recently told In Touch Weekly that Justin told him about Jessica's pregnancy "a while ago" and that he kept his mouth shut, but now he can "talk about it." 

Oops! Love Fatone and hope someone really did give him the green light or else he is going to be in deep doody with Justin and his Mrs. It's a good thing he added that "Jessica is awesome, and Justin is a kid a heart" and they'll be wonderful parents because maybe that will help matters!

Then again, Fatone's comments are really just the icing on the cupcake because, judging by these adorable photos of Jessica posted on Twitter by Lizzy @timbervideos, there is no way anyone can spot Jessica out in public and not see a baby bump. I mean, look -- it's there!

So, now that the cat really is out of the bag, it should only be a matter of time before Jessica or Justin slips and says something to someone. Unless, of course, they are the second most disciplined celebrity couple on Earth (sorry, but Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes still hold that honor).

What do you think? Is Jessica definitely pregnant?

Clik here to view.There's discipline and then there's cruelty. File what happened to one 8-year-old blind boy in a North Kansas school under the latter. Dakota Nafzinger, who was born with a rare condition called Bilateral Anopthalmia and doesn't have eyes, reportedly got into a fight on the school bus and used his cane to hit another child. Obviously, no one -- not his parents or anyone else -- is justifying this child's violent action. He deserves to be disciplined in some way. But here's what the bus driver reportedly decided to do to handle the situation: he took his cane away from himand gave him a substitute -- a SWIMMING POOL NOODLE. And school administrators at Gracemor Elementary School are reportedly backing this inane decision.

Now, it should be mentioned that the driver says he took away the cane because he feared Dakota posed a threat to both himself and other students on the bus. Faced with the same situation, I would do exactly the same thing. He had a responsibility to protect the students and he had to make the right call in the moment.

But I don't understand why Dakota wasn't given his cane back when he reached his destination and clearly needed it to balance while he got off the bus.

Michelle Cronk, a spokeswoman for the school district, said the cane was school property and was given to Dakota when he enrolled as a student. She backed the driver's decision to do this because they wanted to prevent him from hurting someone or himself.

With all that said, you kind of lose me at "swimming pool noodle."

In a ridiculous, bombastic twist, the child received the noodle as a substitute for a cane -- even though a flexible, bendable pool noodle shares as much in common with a cane as a pencil does with a pretzel. He has been reportedly told he has to use the noodle for two weeks. It isn't clear if this is because he is being punished, which, if true, is the most horrific and thoughtless punishment I've ever heard of in my life -- or if something happened to the cane. Again, we should keep in mind that the reason is unclear.

Naturally, Dakota's parents are upset. His mother, Rachel Nafzinger, says her son has been through enough in his young life and that it is unfair to humiliate him for doing something wrong. She and her husband, Donald, agree he should have been written up for misbehaving on the bus, but that taking away "his eyes" isn't fair.

In my opinion, his parents are being too nice. Allow me to add a few more words to describe what is being done to this child -- ASSUMING depriving him of his cane is a consequence for his misbehavior. Callous. Inhuman. Barbarous. Ill-advised. Extremely shortsighted.

The only lesson this little boy is being taught is that humiliating someone else is totally fine -- as long as the person you humiliate is weaker, younger, and more powerful than you are. Bravo, guys.

The only light here is that someone who heard about Dakota's story has been gracious enough to offer to buy him a cane.

Do you think it was okay for this child to have his school-issued cane taken away after he misbehaved on the school bus?
