Clarise Coleman learned on Wednesday that police would finally be charging the man who allegedly shoved her 15-year-old son, who has autism and is non-verbal, during the teen’s high school cross-country meet earlier this month.
The man later said he was afraid the boy was a mugger, police allege. Coleman says the charge against him came as a relief.
“When I found out about the warrant, I thought, ‘It’s about time,’ ” she tells People. “It took them 15 days to do something they could have done in 12 hours.”
Coleman’s son, Chase Coleman, was allegedly harassed by 57-year-old Martin MacDonald on Oct.

It's 1969, the King's Road is swinging and William Boyd has a lunch rendezvous with the subject of his latest novel, Solo – secret agent, 007. Don't miss Bond's Q&A
Time travel. 1969. Chelsea. There was an autumnal feel about the day as I emerged from the tube station at Sloane Square. Instinctively, I looked round over my right shoulder to see what was playing at the Royal Court. The Contractor by David Storey, directed by Lindsay Anderson. I hadn't seen that play – but then I had been a 17-year-old schoolboy in 1969, and my theatre-going life hadn't really started. It was strange being back in Chelsea in 1969, the year of the moon-landing, the year of my first summer in London. Stranger still to be going to interview James Bond.

In an exclusive excerpt from Into The Forbidden Zone, acclaimed novelist William T. Vollmann returns to northern Japan a month after the earthquake crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to survey the radiation levels and talk to survivors.
As we twisted up through the yellow-green hills toward Ono, the bamboos shining in the sun, a man working the soil; that wasn't yet prohibited here, as it already was in Iitate Village, which lay 40 kilometers to the northwest of the plant and hence outside both evacuation zones; it was said that the inhabitants of Iitate would soon have to evacuate.

I found myself checking the dosimeter for radiation levels more often than usual. (In general, 0.05 millirems or less per hour falls within the bounds of normal background exposure, while even 0.1 millirem can be considered unexceptional.) The driver was silent. My...

They've visited Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland since their engagement. Now, it's England's turn to wish Kate Middleton and Prince William good luck, as the couple are making their last official public appearances Monday ahead of their April 29 wedding. Some 2,000 well-wishers braved the pouring rain on the streets of Darwen in Lancashire, about 250 miles northwest of London, for a glimpse of Middleton, 29, who waved and smiled while sheltered under an umbrella. Meanwhile, inside the Darwen Aldridge Community Academy, William, 28, was launching the Skillforce Prince's Award, which will recognize young people who have made a contribution to their communities.

Beyond the unfolding nuclear dangers, Japan has a humanitarian crisis on its hands. Over 500,000 citizens are in temporary shelters, desperate for food, water, and medical supplies. Meanwhile, rescuers workers continue to find thousands of dead bodies, with the official death toll, 1,800, thought to be much lower than the real figure. Relief workers in Iwate prefecture, near the quake's ground zero, say they have just 10 percent of the supplies they need.

Protesters in Benghazi, a major city in the east, fought the government and won. Now they're building their future. Babak Dehghanpisheh reports from "Free Libya." Plus, shocking photos and videos from Libya's streets.
The young men in the black Toyota Camry speed down the seaside road, the thundering waves unable to drown out the sound of their firing guns. Across the road, a man wearing green camouflage pants and a checkered black-and-white keffiyeh lifts his Ak-47 and blasts an entire clip in the air.
This isn't a battle for control of the town; it's a celebration in eastern Libya which protesters have liberated from the government's control. At the border with Egypt, black graffiti scrawled on a wall tells visitors about the territory they're about to enter: "Free Libya." And proud fighters in mismatched uniforms scramble to have their pictures taken in front of their handiwork. "Imagine somebody has tied...

Hey spoiler addicts, this is my first recap post on the site. I shall be known as hippopotamoose from here on, or Bob if you prefer, my name is Bob =] I've been told it would be good to do an introduction to myself before the first post but I'm a bit socially awkward and the only thing that I could think of was my love of long walks on beachs as the sun sets *sigh*. Anyway, I thought I better say what TV I watch and my thoughts on a few of the shows, because that's what the site's about. So, here we go. I watch Being Human (I am slightly in love with Lenora Crichlow), Criminal Minds (I am slightly in love with Aj Cook, Paget Brewster and Kirsten Vangress), Desperate Houeswives (I am slightly in love with all of them, it's my guilty pleasure), Fringe (I am slightly...

It is Friday night in Philadelphia. The streets are uncomfortably quiet for a New Yorker. A car or two, a man stretched out on the sidewalk fast asleep beneath the watching eye of a bored policeman, ("He's here every night"), hardly a passer-by.
On the corner of Market and 12th Streets there is an unexpected crowd of people queueing for the cinema. But what really astonishes the New Yorker is the film for which they are lining up. Across the road, Dustin Hoffman's Tootsie is showing to a deserted house. Here there is Gandhi.
In Manhattan, Tootsie is the hit of the moment. In movie guides it is referred to as "a pungent commentary on contemporary sexual confusion," of which more later. In the little restaurants around Central Park, over glasses of chilled Chablis, it is the subject of long, serious discussions about its political relevance.
