The prankster who made the mistake of messing with the all-powerful Kardashian clan will have one very angry Kris Jenner to answer to.

On Friday, an anonymous tipster called into the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services to report that Kylie and Kendall Jenner were in danger.

Social workers and police immediately responded to the call, TMZ reported but quickly discounted it as a prank when they arrived at the Kardashian residence.

 Kylie, 15, wasn’t even in the country at the time of the call, sources close to the clan told TMZ, and Kendall, 16, was not in harm’s way of any kind.
 the identity of the culprit has not yet been determined,TMZ reported
that Jenner believes the troublemaker may be a tabloid reporter looking to stir up drama and create sensational stories.

 “Among the several ridiculous accusations, all of which were proven to be false, this situation cannot go without being addressed,” a rep for the familysaid in a statement
. “It’s a shame that anyone can make up such hurtful and hideous untruths especially when children are involved. "We are taking this matter very seriously and investigating to find out who is responsible for fabricating such a terrible story and will take the necessary legal action to ensure this does not happen again.”

The media momager is currently looking into hiring a private investigator to look into the case, TMZ reported.

Should I or Shouldn’t I?

Over the years I’ve had numerous clients tell me they have never hired a PI before. Some have stated they felt disloyal to their spouse while others stated they only called me because a family member or friend pushed them into doing so because they just could not believe their spouse was cheating on them. 

Let me state briefly that if you have doubts and suspicions that are causing you to be stressed out and causing sleepless nights, then you have a right to try and get some peace of mind. This kind of stress is not good for anyone and puts your health at risk. In most cases if a spouse has cause to be suspicious and concerned, there is a valid reason lurking in the background that needs to be exposed. 

Private investigators can be a great asset to a client. If a significant other is cheating or planning to file for divorce, ask for alimony, properties, etc, you need to know in order to protect yourself. A good professional licensed investigator has knowledge and ability to obtain video evidence in a lawful manner as well as other relevant information. If the spouse is not cheating, then you can have some peace of mind and may seek out other avenues to try and work on your marriage.

It’s important to keep in mind that any communications between you and your Discovery investigator are totally confidential.

Is Sex Addiction Real??

By Barbara Bronson Gray
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Oct. 26 (HealthDay News) -- In recent years, media reports of celebrities -- usually men -- citing "sex addiction" as the reason they've been unfaithful have made headlines.
But is what's known to psychologists as "hypersexual disorder" a real pathology or just a lame excuse for bad behavior?
The issue is a real one, since there's been talk of including hypersexual disorder in the upcoming revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), considered the "bible" for psychologists.
Now, a team of experts has formulated criteria that could help therapists correctly identify the disorder, with an eye to treatment.
To test the criteria, the researchers interviewed and conducted psychological testing on 207 patients treated at several U.S. mental health clinics. All of the participants were seeking help for out-of-control sexual behavior, a substance abuse disorder or another psychiatric condition such as depression or anxiety.

Applying their proposed criteria to the data they gathered from the participants, the researchers said the criteria accurately spotted 93 percent of people with hypersexual disorder.

According to one of the researchers, the critical issue is whether the out-of-control sexual behavior is interfering with a person's life and they feel powerless to change it.

"It's about having sex that's causing problems, out of control, risking infection," said guidelines co-author Rory Reid, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles. "It's usually the consequences [of the hypersexual behavior] that bring people through the door."
Reid added that he believes the lay term "sex addiction" is a misnomer."I wouldn't call itsex addiction because we're lacking information aboutwhether it is indeed acompulsion," he explained.
To meet the criteria for hypersexual disorder, the behavior must be causing harm. "If a patient is engaging in a particular sexual behavior and it's not hurting them or others, it's not a problem," he explained.
So what do they mean by "causing harm"? For one particularly disturbing example, Reid described one patient, an air cargo pilot, who engaged in auto-erotic asphyxiation about once a month --- masturbating at high altitude to the point of passing out.

The study findings, published in the October issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, support a set of criteria that show what should be considered a hypersexual disorder.
The criteria include:

• Sexual behavior that's been occurring over a period of at least six months.
• Recurrent, intense sexual fantasies, often in response to anxiety, depression and other mood states or stressful life events.
• Attempts by the person to control or reduce the behaviors.
• Behaviors that risk harm to themselves or others, or cause clinically significant personal distress or impairment in people's lives.

Certain things that would rule out a diagnosis of hypersexual disorder would include drug abuse (the sexual fantasies or behaviors typically occur while under the influence), underlying medical conditions, or youth (diagnosis typically isn't made for anyone under the age of 18).

However, Reid added that the study did find the disorder most often has its roots in adolescence or early adulthood. The most common sexual behaviors associated with the problem included masturbation and excessive use of pornography, sex with a consenting adult, and cybersex ("virtual" sex conducted online). Other risk factors included sex with prostitutes, repeated affairs, or having an average of 15 different sex partners in a year.
The good news is that hypersexual disorder can be treated. According to Reid, treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy or experiential therapy to help people process their emotions and develop coping skills, mindfulness meditation to help patients increase their tolerance for cravings and 12-step groups.
Still, some may wonder if labeling out-of-control sexual behavior a pathology is simply turning normal adult behavior into an illness. But James Maddux, professor emeritus of psychology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., says that in this case, that's probably not what's happening.

Biological Father Found

A very nice young woman called me one day to ask if I could locate her dad. All she knew about him was he was a twin and years ago was stationed in the military and her mom had an affair with him while he was in Germany. My client was raised by a single mom and her health was fading. She was now 33 and had decided it was time to act upon her life-long dream of finding her biological father.

 

I began the case while hoping for the best, however trying to prepare my client for the worse such as; he may be deceased, not want anything to do with her or may be off the radar temporarily and me not be able to find him. 

To make the long story short, I did locate him and he seemed very happy to have a daughter. He stated he wanted her to have his number and address and for her to call him. 

My client did call him and she let me know she had flown out to spend the holidays with him and they had been getting along great. She was very thankful and happy. I love this story but all of my locates do not turn out as well as this one. When working a locate case, it is impossible to know how well the client will be received by the other party. Some people want their past to stay in the past for various reasons.

Will you find my daughter?

I enjoy locating persons that others haven’t been able to find. An elderly lady sought my services a short time ago to try and locate her daughter. Law enforcement wasn’t able to help because the daughter was 40 years old and not a minor. My client had no evidence she was in any danger other than the fact she had gotten in with the wrong people and my client felt she was on drugs which could be very harmful to her. 

I started her case right away with the little amount of information given by the client. Typical investigative procedures were turning up dead ends. These type cases are never solved by merely running a skip trace report. It takes good, old fashioned detective work, patience on behalf of the client, and a lot of investigative hours. Finally, about two weeks into the case I got a credible lead. I jumped on it right away and set up surveillance outside an extended stay motel in Marietta and after several hours, there she was. My client was so pleased stating that was the best money she had ever spent. She was able to persuade her daughter to come home with her and get into rehab. My office called my cell the following Friday while I was on another case and told me I had a beautiful basket delivered from the florist. When I stopped by to pick it up, it was from this client. I can tell you this is one of the most rewarding cases I have ever had the privilege to complete. I love my job!

 

My Biggest Shock as a Private Investigator

A while back I received a call from one of the attorneys we do business with letting me know he was referring me to another client. The client would be calling me shortly. The client did call and retained me to handle his case. The client and his wife had a little girl and our client felt his wife was engaging in sexual activity in front of the child. They were having family over for Thanksgiving and he felt she would find a way to get out of the house since we learned the man she was believed to be having an affair with was flying into town on Thanksgiving Day. 

I found out the name and address of her alleged lover and discovered that he had reservations at a local hotel.  

Around 12:15 pm, investigators saw a male matching the target’s description exit a cab and walk inside the motel with a shoulder bag. One investigator exited her car and followed him on foot to ascertain the floor and room number for surveillance to begin. The target left his bags and left the room. We waited outside for the subject to show up. Investigators observed the subject getting out of her car. This next part is hard to believe. We also observed was our client’s 6 year old child in the back seat being taken out by her mother’s lover and carried up to the hotel. Unbelievably, these two left the curtains open and were easily viewed from outside the room having intercourse in front of the child!  Fearing for the child’s safety, we notified our client to let him know we had called the police. The client arrived around the same time as law enforcement. They removed the small child from the room and handed her to our client. Our client was very pleased as he was given sole custody of his little girl. The attorney called to tell me the mother never even showed up for court.

Ok, now it makes sense!

A male client called me saying his wife of 14 years asked him to move out of the home they shared with their two young boys. He felt she was seeing someone else but was never able to catch her. The client had been acting as his own private detective which is never good. After our consultation, he retained me to do surveillance on her for a few days. We saw her going shopping, eating out with her sister, and going to the gym, but no adulterous activity until we had been into the case for about a week. Then one evening when my client had his two boys for the weekend we set up a stationary surveillance and guess what….lead investigator noticed a dark colored vehicle slowing down in front of the home and the man driving the vehicle had his own remote to open the garage. Suddenly, it became clear why we never saw her go to meet the target. I observed that the subject was not home as the unknown male pulled into the garage. He began to start bringing garbage out of the house and pulling the can down on the curb as our camera was rolling. About 15 minutes later I noticed the subject returning home and the male walked up to her when she stepped out of her new car and they began hugging, kissing and were all over each other. All this was caught on video and turned over to our client. Another case successfully completed.

Taking Chances

Talk about taking chances! 

On a cool afternoon my client retained me to determine if his wife of 39 years was cheating on him. He had grave concerns over her current change in both attitude and her lack of interest in him. We set up a stationary surveillance on a specific target we had obtained through one of our investigative procedures. To our surprise, it was my client’s longtime friend that had introduced him to his wife several years before. 

About 3 days later, after my client left to go out of town on a business meeting, our stakeout began that same night. We had 2 cars on the target’s house, which by the way was in my client’s neighborhood on the adjacent street. About 1:45 AM, lead investigator observed the garage door going up and no lights on anywhere. Using the night shot on her camera, lead investigator captured video of the subject as she was backing out of the target’s garage without her lights on. Investigator number two followed her back to her house and captured her getting out of her car and walking inside. Needless to say my client won his case for adultery. He was awarded 75 percent of the assets and got to keep the family home and no alimony. My client’s attorney was very happy with our results.

When Good Investigations Go Wrong

So I'm starting a new case and ready for whatever comes my way.  I pick a nice spot where I can observe and not be noticed.  There is the subject!  I'm in position.... but wait... why is she looking under her car?  Okay, just checking for the cat, I guess.
The chase begins!  Hey, why did she just circle the mall parking lot about 10 times?? All right - I will have to pass her for now.....

Unfortunately, these are the tell-tale signs that a subject has been unduly warned that an investigator is in the field.  Sometimes clients give away their position by acting out of character (i.e., overly questioning the subject about his/her whereabouts) or outright letting them know that they have hired an investigator.

Just remember, a good investigator is experienced and knows several different routes to produce a good investigation.  But unlike some television shows you may have seen - private detectives are not invisible, privy to CSI analysis, or inclined to break the law!
