7-year-old Bobby Montoya dresses and acts like a girl.
Bobby Montoya is biologically a boy. But he is called she. She looks like a girl, dresses like a girl and acts like a girl. So it was no surprise when she wanted to become a Girl Scout.
But, as the Huffington Post reports, when her mother, Felisha Archuleta, tried to sign her up with a troop leader in Denver, they were denied because regardless of how the 7-year-old feels, the troop leader said Bobby has “boy parts.”
Archuleta tells 9 News she said, ‘Well, what’s the big deal?’ and the troop leader replied ‘It doesn’t matter how he looks, he has boy parts, he can’t be in Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts don’t allow that [and] I don’t want to be in trouble by parents or my supervisor.’

Yet, in just that moment, Sara turned back to find her child lying face down in the tub. At the hospital, Bronson was pronounced dead on arrival. But doctors tried a “Hail Mary” last-ditch effort to possibly save the baby by freezing him back to life. Continue reading »

File this under, “the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.” Strike that; file this under, “You clearly should not be a parent unless your job is to raise a serial killer.”
38-year-old mom Lynn Middlebrooks Geter was arrested after she forced her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as a punishment for earning a bad grade.
Three-year-old Josh Pitney loved the Play-Doh he got from his grandma for Christmas. He loved it so much, in fact, that his parents packed it in their carry-on for the trip home to keep him entertained during the flight.
But when TSA screened the Pitney’s bags, security decided those cans of Play-Doh posed a threat. They could, after all, really be plastic explosive.
