Sydney meditation classes for kids

Meditation instructor Lori Digou-Westbury is launching a class for children ages five to 11 in Sydney.

She says it was the parents in her classes who gave her the idea of creating a meditation program for kids.

She will use games and visualization techniques to demonstrate the mechanics of meditation, and also use science to explain what happens in the brain when a person focuses on their breath.

Nova Scotia porn case

A Nova Scotia man with a long history of sexually abusing children will continue to be supervised until at least the end of 2018 after he was caught watching pornography last fall in a halfway house.

Michael Ray O’Brien was placed on a long-term supervision order following his 2006 release at the end of a 4½ sentence prison sentence for sexually assaulting a young boy.

He must stay away from his victims, their families and all children and places where kids might gather.

He’s not allowed to consume drugs or alcohol and he must undergo psychological treatment.
