Abandoned Baby

About a week ago in Texas there was a report of an abandoned baby left in a plastic shopping bag. The parents would face charges for child endangerment. In efforts to find the parents of this abandoned, week-old, baby girl, the police station has taken a picture of the infant and given it it to their sketch artist who usually makes the sketches the description that people give the station. The artist was able to make a sketch of what they thought the newborns parents might look like. This is the first time that this police station has tried to find the parents of abandoned children this way.

Scorpions On A Plane

Your biggest nightmare has finally come true. On Tuesday February 19, 2013 there was a report about a plane that had to land immediately because there was a scorpion on the plane. How creepy would that be to find one of those sneaky little things on a plane with you. A small, enclosed area that you literally cannot get out of. Although, I'm sure that would be an interesting story to tell your friends later on, it must have been very scary at the time.

A Little Extreme for Schools?

Do you believe in corporal punishment for children? Would you let one of your kids teacher physically punish them if they were misbehaving? What if your child had a disorder and struggled to control it? There are stories all over the world of children dying from different sorts of punishments that their schools are giving them. Many special needs children are punished for behavioral problems and disruptions but it is hard for them to control some things. Some teachers have put students in to bags that are made specifically to restrain children and contain them. Children have suffocated inside of these bags. Other children have been put inside a very small padded room or cabinet as a punishment. Lives are being taken, this is one step too far for punishments.

Swim Coaches Sexual Misconduct

A trusted swim coach in Indiana had cameras hidden in the girls locker room and video taped the girls showering and changing. The parents of one of the swimmers was called to their local police station to help with the investigation going on. They were asked to identify their daughter in the videos.  Parents said it was heartbreaking to hear that their daughters trusted swim coach was watching their daughter and her friends in the nude.
