Kids are awesome. They are the tiny creatures that add beauty to our existence, no matter if we are their parents, aunts or uncles, they always make our life complete.
What’s most, their sometimes naive actions can easily make all of us burst out laughing, just like the little girl from the video below. It doesn’t come as a surprise that videos of little children doing goofy things are the most watched on the Internet.
Well, this girl doesn’t want anyone to put their hands on her precious belongings; her toys. She probably has all the right because adults don’t let the little ones touch their things as well.
Namely, she’s in the other room when she hears her dad playing with her Maracas. She immediately goes to him and says “No!” She then takes them and places them on the couch. But, her naughty daddy takes them again and continues having fun, probably thinking of those careless days when he was just a kid himself. The girl gets in the room again and takes her toys, placing them a bit far away from him.
But it’s the third time he plays with the Maracas that makes the sweet girl really mad. Her reaction is priceless. She’s going to make you laugh. Check the whole thing in the video below.
With the temperatures still very low and the storms that hit parts of the U.S., I know that each and every one who is residing in the areas where the snowfall happened only wants to stay home and keep themselves warm.
However, Christian Stone, a 10-year-old boy knows better than only thinking of his own well-being. Although he’s still very young, he feels like he should do something in order to pay it back for all those people who have to go to work, especially doctors and nurses who are struggling with a huge number of patients because of the ongoing pandemic.
Christian and a family friend, Abbey Meeker, are going from parking lot to parking lot of nearby hospitals and clean the snow off the hospital staff workers’ cars.
“We kind of made it a game,” Abbey told CNN. Whenever they see someone approaching their vehicle, they rush to clean it. Needless to say, this means the world to the workers who spend hours driving home.
“JUST CALL THEM SNOW ANGELS,” and what a blessing it is to give freely without expecting anything in return. Good…
“I was thinking they’ve been helping us a lot through this whole pandemic, and I figured why don’t we help them, you know?” Christian told WJAR.
“All day, every day the nurses here, they deal with the pandemic like COVID and they want to get home from work, so we thought we would make it a tiny bit easier for them by cleaning off their cars for them.”
This isn’t the first time for Christian to lend a helping hand to those in need. Before he got this idea of stepping in for hospital workers, he would shovel his neighbors’ driveways for free.
In the thick of Monday’s storm, two people took on a task at Westerly Hospital to try and help some essential employees get home to their families faster. NBC 10’s Sam Read NBC10 has the story.
According to Abby, he and Christian helped clean around 80 cars so far and they are not planning on stopping until the weather gets better.
“It’s been cold but extremely fun seeing how happy they get,” Christian said of the people they had helped. “Some of them say, ‘Thank you so much’ and I’m just really happy to see them happy.”
BT shined a light on 10-year-old Christian Stone from Rhode Island who spent all of last week cleaning the snow off of frontline workers cars at his local hospital. Check out his story!
Choosing just the right words and making facial expressions which help support your thoughts during an argument is a must if you want to end up a winner. The little boy from the video below doesn’t even know how to speak yet, but he’s determined to prove his mommy wrong, although we all know she’s right when she asks him to sit down instead of standing inside the car.
The one-year-old uses words that we don’t really understand, but judging from his body language and how confident he is in what he “says,” we have to agree he’s going to be awesome at persuading people once he grows older.

His mom tells him he’s not allowed to climb on things while in the vehicle, but he doesn’t like what he is hearing and continues presenting his arguments.
Honestly, this sweet little boy is the best thing you’ll see all day so make sure you watch him in the video below.
Sadly, we witness many children being sexually abused by adults, and a simple jail sentence for these wrongdoers is nothing compared to the severity of their crimes and how they forever affect a child’s life.
The state of Alabama is taking these sorts of offences very seriously and is imposing a law which asks for the sex offenders to be chemically castrated. This, however, wasn’t accepted with open arms by everyone, and many question whether it would prevent the offenders from committing same or similar offences in the future.
According to the law, those convicted of sexually assaulting a minor under the age of 13 will be injected with hormone-blocking drugs before they leave prison.
Representative Steve Hurst argued in favor of a surgical procedure but later the chemical method was approved. Speaking of the law, Hurst said: “If chemical castration will help one or two children, and decrease that urge to the point that person does not harm that child, it’s worth it.”

However, according to a number of research, including one published in APA PsychNet, the libido has not much to do with the urge of these people to abuse little children. Sex offenders don’t have higher levels of testosterone and there is “no evidence to suggest there is anything chemically wrong with sexual offenders.”
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the bill into law which states that offenders should undergo the reversible procedure at least a month before they are released out of prison.
“If they’re going to mark these children for life, they need to be marked for life,” Hurst told NBC affiliate WSFA of Montgomery. “My preference would be if someone does a small infant child like that, they need to die,” he said. “God’s going to deal with them one day.”

Speaking to Crime.awm.com, another State Representative, Juandallynn Givan, said: “You have to deal with the mind of a predator. You don’t worry about the physical body parts. You have to deal with what makes them do what they do,” adding how this law should be reconsidered.
However, Hurst once again stated the law is what the state needed and told WSFA.”People say this is inhumane. ‘How can it be any more inhumane than molesting a small child?’ Now that’s one of the most inhumane things there are.”
Randall Marshall, the executive director with the ACLU of Alabama, believes that this law could violate the U.S. Constitution’s 8th amendment.
Kindness comes in all shapes and forms, but when we witness little children doing good for others, the hopes of leaving this planet to someone caring and loving is raising higher and higher.
Nathan isn’t an ordinary 9-year-old kid who spends his days only playing and hanging out with his friends. Well, he does watch a lot of YouTube videos, something his dad doesn’t really approve of, but it was because of one of those videos he stumbled upon that he decided to make a change in the lives of the homeless people from a local shelter in Rock Island, Illinois.
ICYMI: This is the kind of selflessness we all need to bring into 2019!
Nathan was so deeply touched by the video showing people helping the homeless that he decided to do the same together with his dad Ethan. “I told my dad a couple of hours later when I got done watching the video, ‘I wanna do what they did,’” Nathan told CBS Local.
The next thing these father and son did was getting a list from the shelter about the things they needed the most. Both Nathan and Ethan withdrew $150 from their bank accounts, which was the entire saving this awesome boy had, and headed to the store. They bought shoes, gloves, barbecue sauce, and some treats like cupcakes and cookies. “It makes me feel happy and proud of myself,” Nathan said.
I can’t help it, I have to brag on my kids when they do big things. Nathan emptied his savings account today to go…
Cindi Gramenz, the development coordinator at the shelter, welcomed Nathan and his dad and thanked them for their kindness.
“You know you’re doing an awesome thing, right? You’re helping a lot of people. At nine years old, to be feeling that kind of compassion for the work we do and for what’s going on in his community is pretty amazing,” she said, according to the Epoch Times.
Ethan was so proud of his son that he decided to share what he did on Facebook. “I can’t help it, I have to brag on my kids when they do big things.” People who stumbled upon his post couldn’t help but praise Nathan. Some of the comments were: “I hope a few are inspired to do the same, Ethan. I love this,” “Raising a great young man there, Ethan,” and “Nathan, has realized the joy of giving is so much greater than the joy of receiving! The lesson learned from a growing heart showing compassion to other’s is a very very valuable lesson indeed!”
Entergy and PowerOutage.US. reported how they are progressing in their efforts to restore the power for the residents of Mississippi who are facing rough weather conditions. Many are seeing snow for the first time as snow storms and high winds are not typical for this state.
According to WLBT, authorities is urging the general public not to drive, unless they really need to. The roads are still very icy and drivers and truckers get stranded in the snow easily. Also, a number of accidents due to the icy roads have been reported in the recent period.
Dedication to our residents! DeShawonte Cooley came to work for her shift today. You may think that’s not a big deal….
However, for a woman named DeShawonte Cooley, the weather is not an obstacle for her to get on her job at Pinecrest Guest Home. According to the facility, Cooley “drove her 4-wheeler from her home in Byram to Hazlehurst – a distance of over 25 miles.”
She’s described as a “tough lady” and she definitely deserves to be called that. Cooley is aware that people like her who take care of the most vulnerable among us are now needed more than ever having in mind that the coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing and the virus keeps spreading very quickly.
WOW! “Tough Lady” DeShawonte Cooley drove her 4-wheeler from Byram to Hazlehurst for her shift at Pinecrest Guest Home. https://t.co/5altlHsn1L
A “deeply disturbing” video, as described by the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, of a woman later identified as a Marine sergeant emerged on the social platform TikTok on Thursday, as per Insider.
The woman could be seen crying and explaining how “a man who had admitted to misconduct of a sexual nature had been allowed to stay in the Corps,” although she was told before that the man in question would be released from service. She also accused the Corps of not taking care of her as promised.
The video continues with the disturbed Marine saying: “This is exactly why f—ing females in the military f—ing kill themselves. This is exactly why nobody f—ing takes it seriously.”
Secretary Austin, who is a retired four-star Army general, spoke of the video during a briefing at the Pentagon and expressed his concerns regarding it, saying he had asked for more information from his staff. “We have to get the facts,” he said. “We have to understand what just happened.”
“I care about each and every one of our troops,” the secretary added. “I’m going to ask that her chain of command makes sure that someone is looking out after her needs and is making sure that we’re taking care of her.”
The Marine Corp released a statement saying that “sexual assault is a crime, is unacceptable, and violates our core values of honor, courage, and commitment,” as per Insider.
Later, however, they explained how this wasn’t a matter of sexual assault but an allegation of misconduct regarding the wrongful appropriation & distribution of personal information, something the advocacy group Not in My Marine Corps didn’t agree with.
We are aware of the video of the Marine in distress. The Marine Corps takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. The Marine’s command @iimefmarines has taken action to ensure the Marine is safe.
Captain Angelica Sposato, a spokeswoman for the unidentified woman’s unit, II Marine Expeditionary Force saidthe incident is being investigated and “the current administrative separation process for the accused perpetrator mentioned in the video is ongoing.”
“The Marine in the video is safe and has been afforded the opportunity to meet with senior representatives in her command,” she added.
On his second day as a Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin “ordered a review of the military’s sexual assault and harassment prevention efforts,” according to Stars and Stripes. “We’ve been working at this for a long time, in earnest, but we haven’t gotten it right,” Austin said Friday about sexual assault in the military. “We’re going to do everything in our power to get it right.”
Stories of abuse always trigger feelings of anger and rage, but when little kids are involved, it’s even harder for us to understand how can certain people be so vicious and hurt someone so innocent.
The death 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez suffered is not only tragic, but chilling. He was tortured to the extent that is difficult to be even read about.
Gabriel’s Justice
It was on May 22, 2013 when the emergency center received a call about a boy that was said to stop breathing. It was Gabriel’s mother who made that call.
The sight that the paramedics stumbled upon at the family’s home was gruesome. The poor boy’s body was naked and covered in bruises. Many of his teeth were missing and he had broken ribs and fractures in the head.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to be saved, and Gabriel passed away two days after the chilling call was made.
Nurse Alison, who works at the hospital where the boy was admitted told ABC7, “There were abrasions. There were open wounds. There was bruising. There was swelling. There was marks on the legs. There was skin missing off the top of the neck, so there were multiple injuries on Gabriel…head to toe.”
Gabriel’s Justice
The story behind this tragic event raised the alarm about the way social services and authorities fail to step in for victims of abuse. The whole nation was in disbelief and everyone agreed that if something was done in time, Gabriel would still be alive.
During the period of 2003 and 2012, more than 60 reports about torture and abuse were filed against his mother and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre.
The mistreatment he was getting from those who were supposed to love him and take care of him was first noticed by Gabriel’s first grade teacher. She contacted the authorities multiple times reporting that the boy was coming to school with black eyes, scars, cracked lips and injured hands.
Gabriel’s Justice
Unfortunately, the case was never fully investigated. Police did visit Gabriel’s mother in one occasion but she told them he moved places and was living with his grandmother in Texas, and it looked like they weren’t willing to ask for any prove or get into details.
Despite the numerous reports against this mother from hell, nothing was done. She wasn’t arrested or taken to the station.
Gabriel’s Justice
After the news of Gabriel’s death, the police received massive criticism from the wide public and four social workers were fired from their job, which they obviously weren’t doing properly. But a life was already lost, and people were outraged.
“The red flags were all over the place. They were ignored. It is just inexplicable to me,” said Los Angeles county Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.
Gabriel’s mother, Pearl Fernandez, 34, and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre, 37, were arrested.
During the trial against the cruel killers, many of the horrific things they did to the poor boy were revealed. The jury and the judge cried.
Gabriel’s Justice
Apparently, the reason behind their cruel behavior against Gabriel was because they though he was gay.
The boy’s older sister said how they mocked him and forced him to wear dresses and play with dolls.
“This wasn’t about drugs. This wasn’t about mental health issues,” Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami said. “Gabriel was abused “because [Aguirre] didn’t like him … he believed Gabriel was gay and to him, that was a bad thing … he did it out of hatred of a little boy.”
Gabriel’s Justice
Gabriel’s brother, Ezequiel, 16, also testified of the abuse his little brother suffered during the years.
The boy was ridiculed on a daily basis and was forced to eat old cat food. He was often locked in a cabinet without any access to food or water. What’s most, his mother and her boyfriend found the torture funny and amusing.
Gabriel’s first-year teacher, Jennifer Garcia, appeared at court and cried while speaking about the boy.
“I find comfort in believing he is now at peace,” she said, adding: “And I know that unlike him, his abusers will never have peace. They will have a lifetime of suffering to endure, and I know I’m not alone in hoping they experience the same abuse in their lifetime and worse.”

The evil mother said how she was sorry and wished her son was alive. But it was way too late for her to feel like that, as she was the reason the boy suffered such tragic death.
After a long trial, the verdict was finally there and everyone was in anticipation of hearing it.
Facebook / CBS Los Angeles
Pearl Fernandez was sentenced to life imprisonment and Isauro Aguirre received the death penalty.
Justice was finally served. The two didn’t get anything less than what they deserved.
Gabriel’s family is now running a Facebook page where they openly speak of everything the boy suffered. They hope authorities won’t ever let another child suffer the way Gabriel did.
Gabriel’s Justice
They say that before the torture took place, Gabriel was a happy and vibrant boy everyone loved.
Gabriel’s Justice
As a result of Gabriel’s death, the LA police introduced major changes in the way reports of abuse are treated. Social workers get more practical work in order to become even more competent in solving such cases.
Rest in peace little one.
Gabriel’s Justice
