Attorney: Child abuse, neglect calls go under-reported in Florida
Jay Howell tells First Coast News many people are unfamiliar with a Florida law that requires adults to report suspected abuse and neglect.
Author: Robert Bradfield
Published: 11:28 PM EST November 15, 2019
Updated: 11:28 PM EST November 15, 2019
JACKSONVILLE, Fla — Even though reporting suspected child abuse and neglect is mandatory for adults under Florida law, too often do those calls go under-reported, said Jacksonville Attorney Jay Howell.
"It's just not something that everyone gravitates to easily," he said.
Howell explained it's because the abuse and neglect often occur at home, out of public view. Plus, he believes most people don't know the Florida statute that requires adults to report suspected abuse and neglect and therefore don't call the state's abuse hotline.
"We want people to call because what the call produces is an intervention either by investigators by the Department of Children and Families or the sheriff or other law enforcement agencies," he said.
Florida's Department of Children and Families keeps records of how many hotline calls are reported each month.
In October, there were more than 28,000 calls statewide with 1,543 coming from Duval County alone.
Howell founded the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and has tried more than 50 cases involving sex crimes and child abuse. He says if people truly want to make a difference, they must get over their fear of being the one to make the phone call.
"It's not easy for people to pick up the phone and call that number," he said. "They don't know what to expect. They don't know the rules."
The Florida Abuse Hotline is 1-800-96-ABUSE.

This year we continue to meet regularly at Cufos Community Centre in Muswell Hill. We changed the evening to the last Wednesday of the month instead of last Friday. Mary, Fiona, Olga, Nobby and Nicola came over, we made 38 dolls and we always meditated them at the end of the evening. There is another lovely band rehearsing next door so we still enjoy good music while working together on Wednesdays.
I love working at Cufos, a small cozy house beside Alipali. I admire so much the volunteers who work hard to make this little Community Centre alive, always trying to resolve lots of problems with plenty of good mood and patience.
Thank you so much everybody for another great year at Cufos.

Attention is of two kinds – voluntary and involuntary. When the attention is directed towards external objects by an effort of will, when you have an express volition to attend to this or that, it is called voluntary attention. You understand why you perceive. Some deliberate intention, incentive, goal or purpose is definitely involved. Voluntary attention needs effort, will, determination and some mental training. This is cultivated by practice and perseverance. The benefits derived from the practice of attention are incalculable.
Involuntary attention is quite common. It does not demand any practice. There is no effort of the will. The attention is induced by the beauty and attractive nature of the object. Individuals perceive without knowing why, and without observed instruction. Young children possess this power of involuntary attention to a greater degree than adults.
Attention is the basis of will. The force with which anything strikes the mind is generally in proportion to the degree of attention bestowed upon it. Attention on any object may be either subjective (internal) or objective (external). Attention is steady application of the mind. It is focusing of consciousness on a chosen object. Through attention, you can develop your mental faculties and capacities. Where there is attention, there is also concentration. Attention should be cultivated gradually. It is not a special process. It is one aspect of the whole mental process.
Perception always involves attention. To perceive is to attend. Through attention you get a clear and distinct knowledge of objects. The entire energy is focused on the objects towards which attention is directed. Full and complete information is gained. During attention all the dissipated rays of the mind are collected. There is effort or struggle. Through attention a deeper impression is made in the mind. If you have good attention, you can attend to the matter in hand exclusively. An attentive person has a very good memory and is very vigilant, circumspect and alert.
Attention plays a very great part in concentration. When properly guided and directed towards the inner world for the purpose of introspection, it will analyse the mind and illumine very many astounding facts for you. Attention is one of the signs of a trained will. It is a rare faculty which can be cultivated and developed by persistent practice.
The human mind has the power of attending to only one object at a time, although it is able to pass from one object to another with a remarkable degree of speed. So rapidly, in fact, that some have held that it can grasp several things at a time. But the best authorities, eastern and western, hold to the 'single idea' theory as being correct. It agrees with one's daily experience also. There are yogis who can do eight or ten or even a hundred things at a time. This is not strange. The whole secret lies in the fact that they have developed their attention to a remarkable degree. All the great people of the world possess this faculty in varying degrees.
The Sanskrit term for memory is smriti. Smarana is remembering. This is the function of the subconscious mind or chitta. The samskaras, or habits, of thinking and acting are deeply impressed in the chitta, which is like the sensitive plate of a camera. All impressions are indelibly recorded there. Whenever you attempt to remember past events or things, they come to the surface of the mind through the trap door. They come out in the form of big waves of thought or as mental images.
Memory culture is very important. It brings success in God-realization as well. A person with a strong and retentive memory has success in all undertakings. One who has a good memory can conduct his business affairs very successfully. A student who has a retentive memory will have success in all his examinations. Intelligence is only one-tenth of memory.
Take up memory culture. Take any exercise that suits you best and put it into daily practice. Keep a daily record – this is very important. Mere skipping over the pages will be of no benefit. If you really want rapid improvement, put the lessons into practice and take notes. You can watch your progress and correct your mistakes.
Whenever you meet a person, look at his figure carefully from top to bottom. Mentally note any peculiar features – the condition of his eyes, eyebrows, teeth, arms etc., the sort of dress he is wearing, what kind of cap he wears, whether he has a moustache or not. Notice his behaviour, his looks, his gait, whether he seems to be kind-hearted or cruel, whether he is intelligent or dull, polite or impolite, his colour and so on.
Many people cannot give a clear description of the faces of their own friends, or their own parents! The obvious reason is that they have not developed the power of memory. Enter your friend's room; notice carefully all the things you see there. Then close your eyes and reflect. Come out of the room and note mentally all the things the room contains, in order. Then re-enter the room and verify what you noticed. Practise this for some months – you will develop a wonderful power of sight.
Learn the art of extracting work from the subconscious mind. If you want to remember a forgotten passage, give a definite message to the subconscious mind just before you retire to bed. Talk to the subconscious mind, just as you would talk to a friend. Give the order in clear terms. The following morning it will place the words before you. If this fails, wait with a calm mind till the answer comes from the subconscious mind itself. After you are well up in memory culture, you can take up will culture. You will train every nerve in the practice of will culture. You have started the current and it will keep up your enthusiasm.
Practise the assertions boldly and calmly. Fully understand the meaning of every assertion. Try to feel it. This feeling will slowly manifest. Do not be discouraged. You will have to fight with your old enemies, the old samskaras. Try to develop patience, attention, power of endurance, balance of mind, presence of mind and so on.
Pay great attention to this; you will derive great benefit. Will is dynamic soul force. If rendered pure and irresistible, it can work wonders. There is nothing you cannot achieve with a strong will. Most people have no consciousness of will or mind or intellect, though they talk much of 'will' and 'mind'.
The will has become weak through desires or vasanas.. When a desire is controlled, it becomes changed into will. Sexual energy, muscular energy, anger etc. are all transmuted into will force when they are controlled. The fewer the desires, the stronger the will.
Attention, endurance, overcoming likes and dislikes, patience, keeping a daily diary – all pave a long way towards developing the will. You should patiently hear the words of others even though they are not interesting and charming. You should not fret and fume. Patient hearing develops will and wins the hearts of others. Do actions or tasks that are uninteresting – this also develops willpower. The actions that are uninteresting will become interesting after some time.
If you have every comfort in a place, you will not grow strong. Your mind will be puzzled in a new place when you cannot get these comforts. Therefore, make the best use of all places. Never complain about bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you are, wherever you go. The mind deludes you at every moment, at every step. Do not try to run from bad, unfavourable environments. God has placed you there to grow quickly.
If a calamity occurs, the mind should not be upset. Keep an unruffled mind. Do not be carried away by bubbling emotions. Control the mind. Reflect how the calamity has come about. There is always scope for suitable, effective, easy methods to tide over the crisis. Develop foresight, wisdom – many obstacles will be obviated. Do not brood over failures and mistakes. This will weaken your willpower. Let the defects remain there. They will be removed quickly when the will grows and when the will becomes purer and purer, stronger and stronger.
The practice of concentration is of great help in strengthening the will. You must have an intelligent understanding of the habits of the mind, how it wanders and how it operates. You must know easy and effective methods to control the wandering of the mind. The practice of thought culture, the practice of concentration and the practice of memory culture are allied subjects. All are of immense help in the practice of will culture. You cannot draw a line of demarcation to denote where the practice of concentration or memory culture ends and the practice of will culture begins. There is no hard and fast rule.

Zieria hydroscopica is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and is only known from a single state forest near Monto in Queensland. It is a small shrub with erect, wiry branches, three-part leaves and groups of large numbers of flowers, the groups smaller than the leaves and the flowers with four petals and four stamens. It is similar to Zieria smithii, differing only in the type of hairs on the branches and lower surface of the leaves.

Description
Zieria hydroscopica is a shrub which grows to a height of  and has erect, wiry branches with scattered, star-like hairs. The leaves are composed of three narrow elliptic to narrow lance-shaped leaflets with the narrower end towards the base. The leaves have a petiole  long and the central leaflet is  long and  wide. Both sides of the leaflets are slightly hairy. The flowers are white and are arranged in groups of between eight and 25 or more in leaf axils, the groups on a stalk  long. The sepals are triangular, about  long and wide and the four petals are elliptic in shape, about  long and  wide, densely covered with star-shaped hairs on both sides. The four stamens are about  long. Flowering occurs mainly in September and is followed by fruit which is a more or less glabrous capsule.

Taxonomy and naming
Zieria hydroscopica was first formally described in 2007 by Marco Duretto and Paul Forster from a specimen collected in the Coominglah State Forest near Monto. The description was published in Austrobaileya. The specific epithet (hydroscopica) is said to be derived from the Greek hydro-, meaning "water" and scopic, meaning "watcher", referring to specimens of this species often growing near waterholes. The proper words in ancient Greek for "water" and "watcher" are hydōr (ὕδωρ) and skopos (σκοπός).

A doctoral thesis has proposed, on the basis of DNA analysis, that this species is a hybrid between Z. smithii and Z. cytisoides.

Distribution and habitat
This zieria has been seen growing in open forest and near rocky creek beds in the Coominglah State Forest.

Serbian vaccine diplomacy shames the EU
In a socialist-era concrete hall on the banks of the Sava River, Serbia is changing its international reputation one blow at a time, and shows that vaccine diplomacy is not the preserve of the powers that be global.
Last year, President Aleksandar Vucic, who came to power on a pro-EU platform but enjoys pleasant relations with Beijing and Moscow, ordered millions of vaccines from the east and west. As a result, Serbia is among the first European countries to administer Chinese-made jabs, alongside Russians Sputnik V, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna. By mid-April, nearly 43 doses had been administered to 100 people.
But Serbia also has a population skeptical of vaccines, as the number of new cases remains high (but declining), Belgrade has chosen to share its generosity. Tens of thousands of people from the Balkans have recently come to Serbia for vaccination.
Many locals now regard Serbia's vaccine success with gratitude. Yet there is also frustration that they had to rely on Belgrade rather than their own governments or the EU. This positioning of Belgrade as a regional capital takes us back to another era. After World War II, it was the capital of Yugoslavia and the center of the non-aligned movement – a balancing policy devised by Marshal Josip Broz Tito to maintain Cold War neutrality and which helped render the country influential globally.
The Yugoslav project collapsed in the 1990s largely due to Serbian nationalism, which fanned the flames of war in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and later Kosovo, resulting in seven smaller countries and less influential. Many open wounds remain. President Vucic was Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic's information minister during the war in Kosovo and still refuses to recognize his 2008 declaration of independence. Even so, his vaccine diplomacy has improved relations after a long bitterness. .

In early March, Vucic personally delivered 10,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to Bosnia, after making similar donations to Montenegro and North Macedonia. His government continues to give doses across the Balkans, while it was not until the end of March that the EU gave Bosnia its first 49,800 doses, purchased through the Covax mechanism. "The EU has lost much of its soft power," a former Western diplomat living in Belgrade told me.
The success of the program goes beyond Serbia's closest neighbors. I asked a German businessman, while waiting for his second shot at a Belgrade vaccination center, when he could get one in his home country. "Our deployment of vaccines is a national embarrassment," he replied, "especially since the vaccine I am receiving was invented in Germany". He expected that Germany's failure to immunize its citizens more effectively would result in a reassessment of its decentralized federal system.
Consensual decision-making and decentralized powers are not the way Serbia is run. Vucic is the main decision maker. His Serbian Progressive Party has a majority majority in parliament, and each town or village is governed by its party or one of its satellites. He made it clear that he personally negotiated the purchase of millions of Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccines, decided to source Russian-made Sputnik V vaccines, and concluded bilateral contracts with Western companies. Voters perceive him to have skillfully balanced East and West.
By offering Beijing and Moscow a European proving ground for their vaccines, ahead of EU regulatory approval, Vucic has taken a gamble on the safety of its citizens. And while there are concerns with so much reliance on Sinopharm, despite its refusal to release the results of the Phase 3 trial and questions about its effectiveness, even critics are praising its success. The fact that many Serbs remember the days of an authoritarian government also means that many do not criticize its autocratic style today.
A woman I met after her first stroke recounted how her mother remembered the country's last outbreak, a smallpox epidemic in Yugoslavia in 1972. The government organized a vaccination campaign in which almost everyone the population of 20 million was vaccinated in less than two months. "What is this democracy?" the woman's mother had asked. "Under Tito, 18 million people were vaccinated in three weeks! Now it was a system that worked!
