James Kessler, a teen battling cancer, is headed to the Inauguration. This was the boy's one wish for the Make a Wish Foundation, he was able to attend the Victory Speech that President-Elect Obama made in Chicago but they weren't sure if he'd be able to attend the actual event.

Obama told James to "Dream Big," and now he's got a ticket to the Inauguration. Hopefully he'll get to meet Obama himself. But the ticket also has an additional one so his mother Jean can go with him and their hotel just happens to be right across the street from the White House. Wow.

Teen Prostitution Ring in California

There's a growing trend that are frightening many parents, not just because it deals with teens but because it is something that could be happening right next door and we have no clue. What is it?

Well just last week in San Bernadino, California prosecutors had 91 cases of prostitution. But it wasn't of those over 21, instead it was many under. Yes, teens, pre-teens and younger. Many of which are being sold over the net and meet at truck stops or head up to Canada. According to Canada they might arrest up to 300 or more prostitutes a year, but those that are children are normally looked at as victims and not the criminal.

Hopefully something can happen that'll help these up and coming prostitutes and steer them away before someone gets seriously hurt. It is sad enough that it is happening, worse to see the numbers and know that's only the ones that are being caught.
