According to a report by the Dallas County Medical Examiner, four-year-old Cash Gernon, whose lifeless body was found on the street after he was kidnapped from his crib, died of multiple stab wounds, as reported by local news station CBS DFW.

At the time of his abduction, Cash and his twin brother were living with their dad’s girlfriend who was taking care of them all by herself since the father has been absent from March.

They boy’s mother had no idea where her boys were. It was reported by CBS News that she was searching for them extensively and only found out about their whereabouts after she was informed of her son’s death. As for now, her other son has been reunited with her.

The suspect, in what was described as a very violent case of kidnapping and murder, is 18-year-old Darriynn Brown. He was identified thanks to the surveillance footage from the home where the victim was living. Brown has been charged with kidnapping and burglary, but more charges are likely “pending results from a forensic analysis,” as reported by The Sun.

The suspect’s mother said he had mental issues but doesn’t believe he’s capable of committing such a cruel act.

The relationship between the suspect and the child or his family hasn’t been revealed yet and the reasons behind the killing remain unknown.

The boy was reported missing by his father’s girlfriend at 10.48 a.m. while his body was spotted by a passerby earlier, at 6.40 a.m. In the meantime, police was going door to door in hopes of establishing the boy’s identity.

“The closer I get to it, I can tell it’s a human because I see hands… and I see legs,” the person who alerted the police told CBS DWF. “To see a child covered in blood in the middle of the street? It’s truly traumatizing.”

According to The Dallas Morning News, the deadly wounds little Cash sustained were from “an edged weapon.”

Brittany Zamora, a former 6th-grade teacher at Las Brisas Academy, was sentenced to 20 years in jail on charges of sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child, and public sexual indecency. She pleaded guilty and started serving her sentence in 2019.

The married teacher, 28, started her relationship with a 13-year-old student after the two started chatting on an online instruction school app – Class Craft. Allegedly, she invited her students to chat with her because she was bored, and soon, she and the 13-year-old boy started talking about sex.

One of the texts the teacher sent read: “If I could quit my job and have sex with you all day long, I would.” In another conversation, the boy wrote that he wanted to have sex with her to which she replied: “I know baby! I want you every day with no time limit.”

She would also sent him nude pictures regularly. On one occasion, the two had sex in the school and one of the boy’s friends was forced to be the lookout. Later, he told the police: “They were just doing it. It was very uncomfortable.”

What was going on between Zamora and the 13-year-old boy came to light after his stepmother noticed he was acting strangely and installed a parental monitoring app called “Sentry” on his phone. It alerted her whenever the boy would receive a message including explicit content.

The case was reported to the police and the rest of the students’ parents were alerted of the incident. “It just freaked me out right away,” one of the parents said. “That’s just crazy. I can’t even connect that. That’s wrong.”

During the court hearing, Zamora’s lawyer, Belen Olmeda Guerra, defended her client and tried to put the blame on the boy, describing him as “aggressive” and “obsessive.”

“I have represented Brittany Zamora for almost 16 months and I can tell you that she is not a monster. Brittany is not a predator and this was not between a young child and Brittany,” she attorney said, as per The Sun. “This was a teenager…She is not a danger to society.”

Zamora will also have to register as a sex offender.

The mother of the missing 2-month-old baby who was searched for at dumpsters, landfills and garbage trucks is arrested

A two-month-old baby named Kyon Jones went missing on May 5, but the case was only reported to the authorities two days later.

The search was very extensive, with a huge number of officers searching various Virginia landfills that accept DC Metro trash and rummaging through dumpsters and garbage trucks servicing the DC area.

The baby has been described as “a black male infant, with brown hair and brown eyes.” Not much information had been released except for the fact that the little one was last seen on Wednesday on the 1500 Block of Benning Road NE and that his mother remains “the sole person of interest,” as per District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser.

“They are early in the investigation,” said Mayor Bowser. “She’s the only person of interest. She is not [in custody],” he said when asked about the baby’s mother on Monday, according to according to WRIC.

However, more news on the case came May 11, as ABC 13 News reported that the child’s mother confessed that she put the dead child in a dumpster after she found him not breathing. Allegedly, it was the boy’s father who reported the case of a missing child after the boy’s mom, 37-year-old Ladonia Boggs, told him he couldn’t pick him up because someone from the Child Protective Services already did so.

He got suspicious and alerted the DC’s Child and Family Services Agency and the police. When they initially confronted the mother, she stood by the claim that her child was taken away by the Services, which of course was proved right away not to be true.

Boggs was arrested on felony murder charges, but the only charges discusses at court were those related to tampering with evidence. She, however, is still facing murder charges and is expected to get back in court in November, as reported by ABC 13 News.

Those people who dedicate a great deal of their time and life to saving animals in need of help and changing their lives for the better deserve special place in Heaven.

The staff at one of the best animal rescue organizations there are, Howl of a Dog, are those types of people who would go to great lengths to rescue as many homeless and vulnerable animals as possible. The video of one of their latest rescue missions is so touching that we can’t help but shed tears of joy for the sweet dog named Arnia who was given a new lease on life.

Arnia and her friends were forced to fend for themselves and lived in the yard of a rundown garage. The day they were rescued was a cold one, and the four dogs were found lying on a pile of tiles.

Arnia’s health condition was very bad. She was emaciated, anemic and dehydrated, and was diagnosed with muscular spasms and giardiasis. She weighted only 13 pounds, which is half the normal weight of a canine her size.

After her rescue, Arnia, whose name means ‘as strong as an eagle,’ got a bath and was given food.

It only took one month for this gentle and beautiful dog to undergo an incredible transformation. She got used to be around other dogs and is now happier than she could ever be.

Although Arnia is in Romania, she can be adopted internationally. If you want to learn more about her story and the rescue organization check out the video below.

A man from the German city of Schweinfurt has been arrested on suspicion of selling his 12-year-old step-daughter to truck drivers for five euros and a pack of cigarettes.

The story of the girl who was subjected to horrible emotional and sexual abuse angered millions who heard of her ordeal.

The evil stepfather, Thomas S, 49, was reported to have sold his stepdaughter to over 70 people. He would take her at motorway service stations and offer her to truckers claiming he was doing that “to make her confident about her own body.” He was arrested after one of the truck drivers Thomas approached and offered his stepdaughter to called the police and reported him, as per The Sun.

At the time of his arrest, Thomas and the girl were inside an Audi at a motorway station.

According to witnesses, the girl was abused by a Romanian truck driver named Hartmut N three days prior to Thomas’ arrest. Allegedly, Thomas filmed the assault on his iPhone and used the video to incriminate Hartmut N who is now also in custody and awaiting a separate trial, as reported by The Sun.

Investigation revealed that the girl was violated 72 times, details of which were read in court. The prosecutor revealed that the girl’s mother, Brigitte, 39, who was given custody of her daughter from the girl’s biological father at a family court in Bad Kissingen, was well aware of everything that was going on.

According to The Sun, Prosecutor Gabriel Seuffert said in court that Brigitte and Thomas also abused the girl and forced her to walk naked around the house “in order to have fun exploring her own body in the future.”

Thomas pleaded guilty. He didn’t even try defending himself, and even if he did, everything spoke against him, including the videos of the cases of abuse and the naked photos of his stepdaughter.

The girl is currently placed in an orphanage and is getting treatments which would hopefully help her overcome the trauma she was forced to suffer. As for the wrongdoers, we hope they rot in jail.

We often say that there is nothing a parent wouldn’t do for the well-being of their children, but the great thing is that the same counts for the children.

A four-year-old boy named Essa, from Nottingham, England, did something amazing for his mother when she needed it the most. Namely, his mom Charlotte Khan suffered a seizure at home, felt, and cut her head. Unfortunately, she lost consciousness and there was no one around except for her son who could help her.

Quick-thinking Essa, who is experiencing speech difficulties, grabbed his police-car toy, read the emergency services number written on it, and called the police.

The phone call lasted for 17 minutes and Essa struggled to explain what had happened and why he was looking for help. He was able to pronounce short sentences such as “muma fall down” and “muma hurt.” Luckily, it was more than enough for the officers to act, as per The Sun.

Four officers and an ambulance arrived at the Khans home and were able to help Charlotte.

“When the police came they were able to wake me up and without them coming I don’t know how long I would have been unconscious for. I am so proud of him. Even the police were saying that they couldn’t believe what he had managed to do,” mom Charlotte told The Sun.

PC Reece Morris, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: “For such a young lad he really did a fantastic job for his mom and should be really proud of himself.

“He kept calm, remembered what he’d learned about the police and did exactly the right thing.”

What a smart and lovely boy!

Climate activists invade farmer’s private land so he covers them all in raw sewage from his farm

That the global warming is a real thing which poses threat to our Planet is something we should all be aware of, the sooner the better. In fact, there are a great number of organizations that do the best of their abilities to find a solution to this problem and raise awareness of the negative consequences it might have on the Earth. Of course, there are also those who are still convinced that global warming is just a hoax and don’t do anything in order to reduce their environmental footprint.

A large group of activists who decided to protest against the climate changes found themselves in a big, smelly trouble.

Namely, the group protested against genetically modified foods by placing tents on a farmer’s private property.

The farmer wasn’t happy about all those people invading his space so he asked them multiple times to leave his farm, but to no avail. Not only they didn’t leave, but they invited more people over. That is when the farmer decided he had it enough and took matters into his own hands.

Believe it or not, he hooked a septic trailer to his tractor, headed to where the protesters were, and sprayed them with the sewage from his farm. Needless to say, they were so disgusted that they had no other choice but to leave the farmer’s land.

Once the Internet community heard of what had happened, the story went viral. Some people defended the farmer and believed he had the right to act as he did while others said that he went too far and could have handled the situation more “gently.”

You can take a look at the whole story in the video below. What are your thoughts?

The throne Prince Philip used to sit in is missing as Queen makes first public appearance since funeral

After the death of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who was a loyal husband of 73 years to Her Majesty The Queen, things started taking a different turn in the royal family.

Royal experts believe that Queen Elizabeth will “fade away” as Prince Charles will be given more duties and more freedom when it comes to making decisions about the family. One of the things experts believe will happen after he succeeds the throne is to ditch his son Harry and his daughter-in-law Meghan from the family. In fact, Prince Charles has been planning on “cutting the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” as reported by the Express, quoting Angela Levin, a royal expert.

However, not only Charles, but Prince William is as well expected to step up helping his grandmother who has been reigning for almost 70 years.

“Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on,” a source told People in early April.

“She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. She did do so when he retired from public life. She will never abdicate because of duty and honor and public service is so deep in her, as it was for him.”

However, according to former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, Queen Elizabeth will retract from the spotlight and will likely attend meetings at Buckingham Palace just two days a week only, and leave the receptions, the garden parties, and other events to Prince Charles to host.

Her Majesty had her first public appearance on Tuesday of last week when she attended the formal opening of the British Parliament. However, now that her husband of many years is not by her side, the ceremony looked very different for the Queen. Instead of wearing a formal robe and her Imperial State Crown, she was dressed in a lilac colored outfit and a hat.

She arrived in her car, instead in a coach, and was accompanied by Prince Charles and Camilla. What also caught the eye of the press and the public is that the throne Prince Philip used to sit in was removed after 120 years. It was first installed into the Lords’ chamber for Queen Alexandra, the wife of King Edward VII, back in 1901.

Prince Charles didn’t sit next to his mother because of the strict COVID-19 regulations. Only 108 members were present, all wearing masks and having shown negative test results beforehand.

We are very glad the Queen is back to her public duties and among her people.
