Carolyn Hax - Erased ex-wife
(Preview)
My ex remarried and had a child, now 5; we don’t live in the same town. My ex and I are the parents of a 20-something. I just learned that my ex and the new spouse have never told the 5-year-old that I exist; the child thinks the parents are the only set. Shouldn’t a 5-year-old know something by now? I know it’...

So I get arrested for drug smuggling

So they keep reporting on a woman being arrested in Mexico, on her way back to the US, for drug smuggling. I can't figure out why this is news even if she is falsely accused. I bet dollars to donuts if I were to be arrested for drug smuggling it would not even be blip on the news circuit.
