-- not once but twice with a deaf child
a 5-year old deaf girl, riding on a school bus
from school in North Columbus, Ohio, was not
dropped off at her home. It happened not once
but twice and the girl's parents are very
angry about it. The bus company gave some
excuses such as the driver was a sub who did
not know the students' routes. The school
district is looking into it.
-- a deaf Italian scam with migrants
Pietro Giardini, the president of the Italian National
Federation of the Deaf, is in trouble with the law.
He was part of a group that created fake work
permits for hearing Egyptian migrants so that they
could work for deaf families in Italy. He told
these deaf families they would be richly rewarded
if they hired these migrants. Suspicious Italian
officials ran an investigation for two years before
making these arrests.
-- a captioned TV program that was hacked
Deaf people watching the Blue Bloods TV program on
the CBS network was puzzled by strange captions,
these strange phrases and words that were not
part of the program. Somehow these captions
were hacked into, and the script was changed
all around. The CBS people were not too happy
about it and has promised an investigation to
make sure it never happens again!
