Supernanny makes the rounds again to put kids in place

We seem to have our share of misbehaving tots in these parts. Jo Frost, the London nanny who stars in ABC's Supernanny, is back in the Tampa Bay area this week to bring her talents to a Wesley Chapel household. Network spokeswoman Patricia Plebrick confirmed that Frost is here, but would not name the family. In the past, Frost - who delivers child-rearing advice that's part Mary Poppins and part drill sergeant - has visited families in Palm Harbor and Trinity.

Police say woman waiting at school had gun

Apparently, even the car circle at your child's school can be dangerous. Fort Lauderdale police are searching for a woman who showed a gun to a teacher's aide Monday after he asked her to move her car because she was holding up the line, the Miami Herald reported. The aide and the driver argued from a distance and then the aide approached and saw the gun, police said. "She never threatened him. ... she made him aware that she had a gun," Sgt. Frank Sousa said.
