Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

parental abduction custody issues

Carolee Gadsby is a foster mom. She's received custody of two girls almost six years ago. The girls came from a rough background. One of them was sexually abused while her father watched.
For several years, Carolee says, the girls made progress. But two and a half years ago things changed. Carolee says the girls' biological parents and grandmother kidnapped them during a visit. Plus, a judge in Michigan gave custody to the parents, despite the fact that Carolee was already their legal guardian. That order was later withdrawn, but the damage was done.
Additionally, the girls are now subject to court-ordered visits with their grandmother. They are also seeing their parents during those visits, Carolee says. The visits are negatively impacting the girls, she adds.
Carolee wants things to change. Among other things, she's pushing for a National Child Custody Database to ensure consistency in dealing with custody issues. To get involved, contact her at kidnappedkids@aol.com.
