Carbon Monoxide Detector Law for Single Family Homes and Duplexes

The new state law requiring that carbon monoxide detectors be installed in all single family homes and duplexes takes effect on February 1, 2011. 

The law requires that a functional CO2 detector be installed in the basement and on each floor (except the attic, garage or storage area) of each property.  This law can be found at sec. 101.647 of the Wisconsin Statutes.   The only exception to this would be if the building has all-electric heat and electric appliances and no attached garage.  

If you will recall, carbon monoxide detectors were required to be installed in multi-family buildings back in April of 2010.  The law reagarding CO2 detectors in multi-family units is codified in sec. 101.149, Wis. Stats.

If you are looking for a carbon monoxide detector form to distribute to your tenants,Wisconsin Legal Blank Co. is currently selling the form that sets forth the law regarding multi-family buildings.  A form detailing the carbon monoxide detector law for single-family homes and duplexes will be available in the near future for those landlords renting out singles and deuces.

The Sip and See Game, A Dangerous New High School Trend

Only several years ago, we warned you parents about a new game that was going through our nation’s high schools. The name of the game was “Took A Sip From My Devil Cup“. This game involved house parties and children who were allowed to go to them.

The details of what happened at these parties, terrifying. Boys at the party would fill cups up with a ‘bizarre, devil’s brew’ and choose a girl to drink it. Then, the girl of choosing would drink it and become possessed by whatever the contents of the cup, be it simply alcohol or the date-rape drug. Many children were exploited and our expose helped bring the issue to light.

Now there is a new, even more dangerous gamed called the “Sip and See” game. This semester at high schools, children are playing this spin-off game from Devil Cup. What’s been passed on to me is that kids will start off at these parties all sober, then older children — likely horndog college students — will bring alcohol with which to ply everyone.

Children are forced to take every sip from a large cup, then let everyone “See” them, meaning they have to strip naked. Since they are drunk, they will eventually pass out naked and likely get raped by one of the prowling thugs at the party.

We’ve already seen mention of this game on both Glee and Desperate Housewives of Atlanta. It is becoming more widespread and Hollywood is making a joking buck off of it, while your daughters are getting a ‘buck’ themselves at this party by the diseased pelvis of God knows who.

This is a new very dangerous game. Parents, let us keep our children chaste. If they ask you to go to a party, just say “No” and tell them to go do some homework or watch a movie. It is not worth the risk until this game dies off from parental concern nationwide.
