Strollerderby
Even at a distance and as blurry as it was, the video was horrifying enough to make any parent’s — heck, any person’s — blood run cold: A mom and baby are waiting for an oncoming train when the stroller starts to roll. The mother stumbles, and the stroller falls onto the tracks and gets run over by the train.
Earlier this week that mother, Shweta Verma, a dentist and mom to 6-month-old Saurish, talked with Today’s Matt Lauer about the incident.
A day of play in the sun with friends sounds like a great day in the sun, but when a toddler gets a severe sunburn, whose fault is it?
When Michelle Murton picked her sixteen-month-old Ozzy Buisson up from his Australian daycare, she was stunned to see that he was “red as a beetroot.” “I’ve never seen sunburn like it before,” she told the Courier Mail. “He was so red it was almost purple. For him to be burnt this bad, he must have been outside in the sun most of the day.”
I’m going to have to offer a total spoiler alert here for those of you who haven’t read Twilight. Because one of the reasons Australian schools are beginning to ban the vampire books with a feverish tween fan base proves they haven’t taken a bite out of the books themselves.
The Daily Telegraph reports school officials are concerned with the “sexual themes” in the books. Continue reading »
Kate Elizabeth Hutchinson, a 36-year-old psychiatric ward patient, recently gave birth to her 6th or 7th child (no one knows for sure). This after birthing all her former children with different fathers, having all stripped from her care and one, according to police, possibly murdered. Two of the woman’s children were born with autism and another died of muscular dystrophy four years ago.
Now her mother, Helen, is begging authorities to step in.
If you thought all those status reports with the final score of the game you TiVo’d was bad, just wait. A kid who went to Europe on vacation logged onto Facebook to touch base . . . only to find out her entire family had been murdered.
Police now say the trip may have saved her life. Continue reading »
An Australian mom majorly screwed up when she brought her daughter onto a morning radio show known for hooking people up to lie detectors, only to out her daughter’s childhood rape during a live broadcast.
The mom said she wanted to find out if her daughter was doing drugs and having sex – the normal teenage misdeeds. Continue reading »
Natasha Ramirez of Sydney Australia says that she was turned away from a hospital because they didn’t have “enough room.” And besides, the nurse told her, you won’t be in labor “for another 24 to 48 hours.” So she went home. “Five hours later baby Anjelita was born” on her bedroom floor, according to Australia’s Daliy Telegraph.
The 27-year-old new mom claims that she was bleeding and “in labour” (they spell things funny in Australia) when she arrived at Liverpool Hospital. Apparently Ramirez was 4 days past her due date, “needed anti-D injections because of her O-negative blood type” and due to complications with a previous birth, and oh yeah — she was having contractions. But a nurse “assessed” her and told Ramirez to go home. She says that she was not seen by a doctor. Continue reading »
