I'm sure there's some dedicated, professional cops. Investigating these cases is very low priority to them, for the most part. they just work there briefly before they go up to the homicide/drug squad. The investigators who look at these cases don't want to be there. The RCMP/HRP have been very uncompromising in the past, working on this issue. it's not usually "stranger rape", it's usually someone you know in your own/friends/acquaintances' home. The public in general needs to educated about statutory rape laws and there needs to be a lot of de-mystifying about rape. They also just got funding from the Canadian Women's Foundation for a program for girls in North Dartmouth. And if you're under 16, you can't legally consent to sex with someone older (this law is complicated and it's on a scale based on age).Īvalon Sexual Assault Centre does programs with high schools in conjuction with the YWCA. Just like kids are taught "good touch, bad touch" when they're in elementary, they need to be taught what consent means.Ĭonsent can't be given if you're drunk or high. I think what you're looking for is teaching kids of issues about issues of consent. I'd like to be able to cuddle with these guys and take them outside of the house with me, is there still hope? I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for rat bonding. My other rat Finn is completely resistant to any petting, and seems a lot more nervous than Milo. I've been getting closer with my rat Milo, who's recently let me pet him and he's even bruxed a little. I make sure to take them out for at least an hour a day, I'll try and handle/pet them but they usually just run around my room. I've read a lot of articles about getting nervous rats to warm up/bond with you, but I don't feel like we've made much progress. I've had them for about five months now, and I still don't feel like they're bonding very well with me. I don't think they were very well socialized in their previous home, because they're pretty nervous and apprehensive around people. To provide some background information, I adopted my two little boys from someone on craigslist when they were seven months old. In the end, it’s up to individuals to interpret this emoji for their own uses.ĭear, congratulations from across the pond.I was wondering if someone could give me some advice with shy/nervous rats.

People who see them as praying hands point out that when someone prays, their thumbs are on the same side on both hands, whereas it’s the opposite in high-fives. The differences in appearance across platforms have prompted discussion among users as to whether or not they’re praying or high-fiving. On their own, the two hands can look like they’re high-fiving. On some devices, this emoji shows up only as two hands touching, whereas on others, it shows up with a person attached to those hands. Whatever it is, the folded hands emoji looks a lot like the hands of someone who’s pleading for something. Another place it might appear is when someone is asking or begging for something as a visual “please.” They might use this emoji when they’re hoping their favorite band comes to their city. Someone might say, “You guys are the best friends I’ve ever had.” Then they’d include the folded hands emoji to show just how thankful they are to have those people in their life. This emoji is also useful when a person wants to express gratitude. Hey, – 🙏 for this!

In Japanese culture (and some other Asian cultures), the gesture of pressing your hands together represents please, thank you, and I’m sorry, in addition to having spiritual associations. Like some other emoji, it adds to the conversation by virtue of representing something physical. Uses of the folded hands emoji include any situation where a person might gesture with their hands together in real life.
