Many times, when we go through tough times and face certain obstacles, we turn to God and believe how our faith and love for the divine would help us overcome the issues. This is also true for those who suffer from certain illnesses such as cancer.
But the fact is that not everyone is religious, and not everyone finds comfort in practicing prayers.
After one nurse was fired from her job after she offered her Bible to a cancer patient, the question of whether we should ‘impose’ and offer our faith and beliefs to others has been raised.
Sarah Kuteh is a devoted Christian who trusts in the power of God. But did that gave her the right to make others share her beliefs? According to the Nursing and Midwifery Council, doing so, this nurse broke the code and the rules of her profession.
However, this wasn’t the first time for Kuteh to talk about faith in God to her patients. After Darent Valley Hospital found her behavior inappropriate, she got “sacked.” Kuteh believed she did nothing wrong and took the case to court, which ruled in the hospital’s favor.
Daily Mail reported that the patient said how Kuteh told him the way to reach God was through the words of Jesus. Below is the court’s statement.
“(She) told him she would give him her bible if he did not have one; gripped his hand tightly and said a prayer that was very intense and went ‘on and on’; and asked him to sing Psalm 23 [The Lord is My Shepherd] after which he was so astounded that he had sung the first verse with her. He described the encounter as ‘very bizarre’ and ‘like a Monty Python skit.”
Despite losing her job, Kuteh is certain her actions didn’t violate the code. On the contrary, she believes she was the one whose rights to express her religious beliefs were violated by the hospital.

Little babies are super fun for a number of reasons. They do tend to change mood every now and then, but their naive actions often bring us to tears from laughing.
And when the little ones share their home with a pet, things get even better. Young children hanging out with cats and dogs has to be the best thing ever. The bond they are able to create with their furry pals is pure and sweet and they are likely to remain best friends for life.

But as much as the four-legged companions are patient when their human siblings make them do things they are not happy with, smelling their poops is a big no, no. Well, at least for the doggo from the video below.
The baby and the dog are sitting together while mom is filming them. The sweet little boy is having a hard time pushing his turd, and once he’s done, the dog’s done tolerating the smell too, so he leaves the chair and lets the baby roll.
Mom finds this hilarious and shares it with the rest of us. Well, mommy, thank you for that, because this video really made us laugh.
Take a look at it below and make sure you share it with your friends.
“Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do,” Matt Walsh once said. Honestly, everyone who has ever experienced the joy of being a parent would say this is true. Raising a child takes a lot of patience, wisdom, and devotion, and moms and dads are always more than willing to provide all that and even more to their little treasures.
One dad from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, named Albert showed the whole country that when their kids are in danger, parents get superpowers.

As the family was having fun in their backyard gathered around the pool, 18-month-old Rocco was chasing after a colorful ball. While he was trying to reach it, he somehow managed to wander through the gate and get into the water. That’s when Albert went into action and jumped over the 4 foot tall fence to save his son. His reaction was quick and amazed many people. With all the people who were there, Rocco wasn’t in real danger as they all saw him entering the pool, but the way Albert’s instinct kicked in is worth all the praise.

In fact, scientists can’t really explain how parents are able to do way more than they think they are capable of when it comes to saving their kids.
We have witnessed cases where mothers lift cars to save their trapped children and now we see Albert who jumped over a fence that tall. The thing is that this phenomenon can’t be researched because in this situations everything happens in an instant.

Speaking of the incident, Albert said how he simply did what had to be done and didn’t think of anything but getting Rocco out of the water in time. “Anybody can do that. Anybody can jump over a fence, you know. A kid’s in trouble. You know, you’ve got to get to them as quickly as you possibly can,” he told Inside Edition.

However, he wants to urge parents to never leave their little ones out of sight because kids are curious and can easily find themselves in trouble. “You just absolutely have to keep an eye on your kids. I don’t care what measures you put in place. Tragedy can happen,” he added.
You can take a look at this super dad’s incredible stunt in the video below and never forget to be extra cautious when supervising your kids.
Eliza Curby and her partner Ben had only been dating for three months when they received the news about Eliza’s pregnancy. Although it seemed a bit sudden and they felt pretty scared, the couple couldn’t be happier because they both dreamed of creating a family and having children.
They got ready for the big arrival and were eager to meet their first born child. Baby daughter Charlie was a happy and a healthy baby that brought joy into the life of her parents. Their days were filled with excitement and they were never bored.
However, just several weeks after giving birth, mommy Eliza started feeling odd. She knew something was wrong with her body but just couldn’t figure out what.
She shares their unusual love story with News.com:
“We fell pregnant with our first, Charlie, three months after we started dating!
Ben had always been super keen to become a father so we were over the moon at the thought of creating our own little family.
Needless to say the decision was taken out of his hands – I win!”
Being a mother meant the world to Eliza who believed her body was in the midst of something strange.

She was experiencing dizziness and was feeling exhausted most of the time. At one moment she though she could be pregnant again but Charlie was only six weeks old so she convinced herself that her state was due to all the commitments she had such as taking care of the baby and the house, and running errands.
However, she couldn’t help by ponder over the fact that she could be expecting another baby. She even shared her thoughts with Ben.
“I was exhausted trying to figure out the ins and outs of being a mum, but about a month after having Charlie though I felt really, super exhausted.
Everyone told me it was sleep deprivation catching up with me but I was not convinced – I remember looking at Ben and saying, ‘I think I’m pregnant.’
He just laughed.”
Charlie had already turned their life upside down, so having more children that soon seemed like the craziest thing ever.

But mothers’ instinct almost never fails them, and Eliza’s was telling her to buy some pregnancy tests in order to be able to learn what was really going on. And four tests later, her assumptions were confirmed. She is having another baby!
And if the couple thought this came as a surprise, wait until you see the shock on their faces when the doctor told them that there wasn’t one baby, but two. Yes, they were having twins.
She shared what happened in the doctor’s office that day with News.com:
“The technician seemed awkward and uncomfortable, before he finally said, ‘Look, it’s early days…. but…. I think there’s two.’
And it turns out there was!
I was so scared but secretly super excited – I think everyone has a secret desire for identical twins.”

The second pregnancy went as smoothly as the first one, and at 36 weeks, the baby boys were delivered without any complications.
Jack Antony Richard and Wolfe George Harry were born in perfect, healthy condition – Ben, Eliza and Charlie were thrilled to meet the newest editions to their family!

Having three children isn’t easy, especially when they are same age, but life is fun under the roof of this lovely family. The parents even started a blog they call “twingenuity” where they share fun stories of their every day life.

Both Ben and Eliza are beyond grateful for their big family. They are the perfect example that we can’t always plan things ahead because God often has other plans. We are happy for this couple and we wish them only the best.
Kevin Grant is a sadistic 31-year-old man from Naugatuck, Connecticut, who doesn’t deserve to be called human. His twisted brain and abusive nature forced his step-son to go through hell while under his care. The poor boy’s mother, 29-year-old Kaitlin Elizabeth, witnessed the severe abuse and cruelty her son suffered on a daily basis and did nothing to prevent it.
The poor boy was forced to drink hot sauce until he vomited and was left to sleep in the laundry room and the garage for months.
He wasn’t even allowed to get outside in order to use the bathroom. Instead, the lunatic of a step-father made him urinate in his pants and forced him kneel on hard and uncooked rice and tacks for an entire day. In one occasion, when the little brother hurt his head after he fell on a table, his poor brother was grounded for no reason and was left to stand on his feet facing the wall for an entire week. He even ate in that position.
This was just a tiny bit of all the things the boy went through while sharing the house with the crazy step-father and his even crazier mother who watched the abuse taking place right before her eyes.
It has been reported how the boy would do push-ups until his fragile arms would completely give up. Once, Kevin put a bottle rocket into the boy’s mouth which caused him severe injuries.
Luckily, the suffering was put to an end on October 1, after the state Department of Children and Families got an anonymous tip about the abuse.
The Hartford Courant reported that Kevin has been arrested and charged with second-degree assault, intentional cruelty to persons, risk of injury to a child, second-degree reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct but was released by posing bail amount of $25,000. The careless mother was also charged with injury to a child, second-degree reckless endangerment and conspiracy to commit both intentional cruelty to persons and disorderly conduct. She posted bail amount of $10,000 and was also released. The two wrongdoers are to appear at court on November 1.
We honestly hope they will get the punishment they deserve and that’s long years behind bars.

The gruesome murder of pregnant mother of two, Shanann, who was carrying a boy, and her two daughters Bella and Celeste which took place in 2018 is still shaking the whole country as new details emerged after Netflix aired the murder-based documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door.
The killer is the husband and father Chris Watts, who at the time of his family’s “disappearance” asked the public to help him find them and prayed for them to get back home safely knowing he murdered them mercilessly and dumped their bodies at an oil field.
Shanann’s relationship with her murder husband seemed like a normal one. She would often describe him like a caring father. Just months before she was killed, she wrote on Facebook, “He’s my rock! He takes care of us girls unconditionally! Thank you baby for holding down the fort this weekend! Love you,” according to The Sun.
Chris was charged with five counts of first-degree murder, three counts of tampering with a deceased human body, and one count of unlawful termination of pregnancy.
He pleaded guilty and received five life sentences. He’s currently serving prison time at the maximum-security prison in Wisconsin.
The reason behind the cold-blooded murder was Chris’ affair with his colleague, Nichol Kessinger. He believed his family was standing on his way to happiness with Nichol who claimed she wasn’t aware her boyfriend was expecting his third child and believed he and wife Shanann were separated. She only came forward with the affair after she learned Chris’ family “went missing.”
According to the documentary, Chris and Shanann got into a fight the night she was killed and he confessed to her there was another woman in his life. “In that fight he essentially confessed to having an affair, that he wanted a divorce. That it was pretty much over between them, and she had said something to the effect of, ‘well you’re not going to see the kids again.’ As a consequence of that conversation he strangled her to death,” said lawyer Steven Lambert who is representing the victim’s family, as reported by Mirror.
According to ABC7, Chris spoke of the killing from prison and recalled how his daughter Bella, who was 4 years old, saw him wrapping her mother’s body and asked, “What are you doing to mummy?” He continued, “I was just getting the sheet off the bed and she walked in, and she had her little pink blanket with her. She was like, ‘What’s wrong? What’s wrong with mommy?'”
Chris then took his wife’s dead body and put it into the car along with his two girls who were unaware of what was going on. Once at the oil field, Chris killed his younger daughter, 3-year-old Celeste, while Bella begged him not to do the same to her.
“He walks over and takes Cece’s favorite blanket and smothers her. At that point, Bella says: ‘Please, daddy, do not do to me what you just did to Cece,'” Lambert said.
Bella tried to escape, but she failed and was soon killed the way her mom and sister were. According to Daily Star, Bella bit her tongue as her dad suffocated her.
“Those are my kids, that’s my baby, I talk to them every night,” Chris told investigators from prison. “I don’t see how this could happen. Every time I see pictures of them I don’t know how this could have happened… Couldn’t have I just saved my girls’ life? Couldn’t I have done something? Why did I…I don’t know. Like this is my flesh and blood, this what…like, what I wanted all my life is to be a dad, to have kids and they love me… Nothing made sense. Like the oil tank, nothing made sense.”
Before he confessed to what he did, he claimed it was Shanann who killed her daughters and he then did the same to her, but he later said those were false accusations. His girlfriend Nicole has always claimed she had no involvement in the murders and has never been charged concerning the case.
Take a look at the Netflix’s documentary’s official trailer below and learn more of the case.
