a long overdue post - links for June 2014

It has been some time since I have published a post here on WACPR. (I do welcome you to visit - & follow - WACPR on Scoop It, where I am able to post more frequently.  These will, however, generally not include videos, as it has been my "thing" to reserve video posts for this blog.) I have decided to begin sharing links via a monthly post instead of posting each video story as I discover it.Father pays outstanding child support, still gets jail time
