Mom gets distracted, her son knocks down sculpture causing $100,000 of damage

We all know that little children and expensive things don’t really go together. No matter how well-behaved the little ones are, it’s in their nature to be curious and explore things that surround them. Above all, they have no idea now cheap or pricey the items they stumble upon might be.

This is the reason why parents should keep a close eye on their kids at all times and make sure they don’t get into trouble.

You have probably heard a bunch of moms and dads telling their children not to touch things while at the supermarket or other shops, or maybe you are a parent yourself and know all too well how many times you’ve spoken the sentences, “Don’t touch that!”

Because if the kids do get into trouble or break things, it’s always on the parents.

A mother named Amanda Goodman experienced a nightmare only because she let her little boy out of sight for a couple of minutes.

Yes, unfortunately, sometimes it takes so little time for a trouble to happen.

Namely, Goodman and her son were attending a wedding celebration and five-year-old Troy behaved most of the time. His mom even considered getting him a present for being such a good boy.

As the wedding was over, the family was about to head home, but before that, Goodman approached the bride and the groom to thank them for the lovely celebration and for inviting her.

During that time, she left Troy at the venue’s hall not expecting from him to wander around the place as he was already too tired from all the dancing.

Unfortunately, she though wrong, and at one moment, a sudden and loud noise of something braking disturbed everyone at the place.

Along with the noise, someone could be heard repetitively asking, “Where is your mother?”

While waiting for his mom, Troy got curios over one glass sculpture and decided to get closer and hug it.

Unfortunately, it was way too big and heavy and in one moment he dropped it on the floor, crushing it into pieces.

Goodman rushed in. At the time she was more concerned about Troy, as he had scraped himself. But one of the staff members also rushed over and stared down in horror. He couldn’t believe what the child had done.

Seeing her son scrapping himself, Goodman didn’t even think of the statue, she just wanted to make sure Troy was fine.

But then, a staff member rushed to them and said something that left Goodman in complete disbelief. He said, “Mam, we expect you to pay for that. And that sculpture cost us $132,000.

Goodman did expect for them to ask from her to pay for what was broken, but she said how she didn’t think it was worth more than $1,000.

She tried to explain to the man how she was paying a close eye on her son the entire time, and only left him alone for a minute or so, but the man didn’t really care. He did call the venue’s insurance, but they only confirmed they weren’t liable for the boy’s action.

Goodman simply couldn’t accept to pay that huge amount of money.

She said how the venue had a guilt in the who incident too as they placed such expensive sculpture in such an easily accessible place.

“It’s in the main walkway, not a separate room, not plexiglass, not protected, not held down.” she said

After contacting her local government about the incident her kid got involved into, they said that no matter how unfortunate it was, the boy simply shouldn’t have touched the item.

Now, the family may have to pay the whole amount of money, all because Goodman was careless and distracted and left Troy all by himself, even though it was for just a couple of minutes.

This is a lesson all parents and kids should learn from.

6-Year-Old Diagnosed With Cancer Thrilled About Her Dream Holiday Is Left Heartbroken After Stranger Scams Family Of Their Money

Life is often unpredictable, and no matter how hard we try to get things right at all times, there come obstacles and challenges such as deadly diseases that we can’t prevent.

Little Skye, a cancer-stricken girl had gone through so much in her life. All the treatments and the hospital stays drained her energy so her family thought it would be awesome if they take her to the vacation she dreamed of. Unfortunately, they stumbled upon a conman who took all their money and took advantage of them. So, the so much anticipated holiday never took place.

The stranger who offered to organize their vacation claimed he was the owner of two static caravans at a holiday park in Butlin. The family didn’t hesitate before transferring the money as they were looking forward to the trip.

When they learned they were scammed, they felt terrible because it meant little Skye wouldn’t get what she was hoping for.

“How much bad luck can one family have? When I realized we had been scammed, I was absolutely distraught,” said Ruth, mum-of-three.

After they filed a case against the scammer, he claimed he was a victim himself, as he said he didn’t take any of the money that the family transferred to him. A spokesperson for the City of London Police said, “The case is currently being assessed by the City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau,” and the investigation is still on.

The six-year-old girl was diagnosed with a fist-sized tumor in her brain after she woke up with her eyes crossed one morning. Doctors say it was caused by the treatments she was undertaking for another form of cancer she previously suffered from.

Learning of the devastating news, Skye’s family decided it would be for the best if she continued with her treatments. So, after she underwent several rounds of chemo in the UK, she was transferred to Florida for a proton beam therapy.

The trip was about to take place after the treatments were over and Skye’s health condition improved significantly.

The family paid the scammer £1,700 after which they didn’t hear of him again. He ignored their calls and they realized they had been lied to.

“Skye is absolutely gutted too. I think it is absolutely disgusting, it’s the fact that he has done it to a little girl who has been fighting cancer. You see it happening to other people, you don’t expect it to happen to you,” said Ruth to Mirror Online.

Until they are waiting for the outcome of the lawsuits, Skye’s family started a fundraiser in hopes of getting the money for their little daughter’s holiday.

Baby abandoned in front of an apartment complex- Note explains father is a dangerous person

Only God knows what ordeal a mother has to go through in order to make a decision to abandon her half-a-day old baby.

Unfortunately, many are forced to give up their bundles of joy in the hands of other families and even random strangers.

On July 20th, 2019, a mother left her newborn baby in front of an apartment complex in Orlando, Florida.

The sweet baby was only wrapped in a shirt and had a note next to him.

A mother and her son were having lunch inside one of the apartments when they heard the cries. At first, they believed it was one their neighbor’s babies who was making the noise, but once they realized it didn’t stop for a longer period of time, the two got out in order to see what was really going on.

What they definitely didn’t expect to see was a newborn placed right there, in front of their doorstep.

The woman spotted the note and took it in her hands. What she had to read broke her heart. It said: “I had him in the bathroom. His dad tried to kill us. Please keep him secret and take him to hospital. Dad a very dangerous man. I’m so sorry, I tried to clean him and feed him as much as I”

The woman knew the first thing she had to do was take the baby to the nearest hospital.

Luckily, the doctors told her it was a perfectly healthy infant. Now, she had to figure out what to do with him and where to take him so she contacted the authorities. The sweet newborn is currently taken care of and hopefully, he would end up with the perfect family that would adopt him and give him all the love he deserves.

This is, however, not the first time for a newborn baby to be abandoned at this place. Back in 2017, a mother left her baby and vanished. It was later said how the sweet soul was adopted and was given a new chance for a better life.

The state of Florida has a law that allows parents to safely place their one week old babies at the hands of firefighters or hospital staff along with a sign that reads “A Safe Heaven for Newborns.”

This policy allows for the parents to stay anonymous and the staff only takes in the baby, no questions asked.

Although all the 50 states have this policy, the age limit for the babies who can be taken in under the sign of “A Safe Heaven for Newborns” is different. Whereas 11 states and Puerto Rico set the limit to three days old babies and younger, the rest of the states would take the babies who are a month old.

Having a dog is a real blessing. These creatures truly are one of a kind and getting to spend the days around them means being showered with the purest form of love.

Now imagine someone trying to get your dog from you. Such situation would make any dog owner angry, and sadly, that was the case with a man from Port Elizabeth who managed to catch his pit bull’s thief red-handed.

The incident was caught on camera and it now serves as a warning for other dog owners, especially those who have pit bulls as pets, to be extra cautious and keep closer eye on their four-legged friends.

It was reported by News24 how it was very likely that the dognapper inspected this particular pit bull before he tried stealing it by grabbing the poor dog by the collar. Luckily, the owner noticed the thief just in time to stop him from stealing the dog.

The owner later said how it wasn’t the first time that this man tried getting his pit bull. Before this incident took place, the thief claimed the dog was actually his, but when the owner asked him to prove it, he just ran away.

Volunteer and rescuer Marizanne Ferreira believes thieves are after pit bulls because they use them in dog-fights. Ferreira urges dog owners to micro-chip their dogs and not leave them unattended in order to prevent the animals from ending up in the hands of the dog-nappers.

Below is the video of the quick-thinking owner who found himself in the right place at the right time.

Golden Retriever Steals Back Her Plush Teddy Bear From The Washing Machine

Same as little children, most dogs have a favorite toy too. It’s usually a teddy bear or another plush animal they can hug and chew on. The thing is that these toys have to be washed very often, which is a devastating fact for our four legged pals who refuse to spend any time separated from their stuffed friends.

The Golden Retriever from the video below just won’t allow for his mommy to place his teddy in the washing machine as she believes it’s a scary place for her friend to be. All that spinning around is probably not the best feeling and the Golden Retriever wants to spare the plush teddy from ‘the agony.’ What she does next is beyond sweet and will definitely put a smile on your face.

She undergoes a rescue mission and it’s all on camera.

“Our Golden Retriever is besotted with her teddy bear,” mom writes. “We setup a little sting operation to see if we could catch her on camera stealing it out of the washing machine…”I guess her teddy bear won’t be going into the dryer any time soon! Share this cute video with your friends and family.

No cleaning for this teddy bear this time, I guess!

Dad Has Easy Way To Stop Daughters From Crying

Parents don’t have it easy as they have to make sure their kids are entertained at all times, otherwise, they get angry easily and throw tantrums, pretending something huge is going on, although the reasons for their crying and screaming are most times groundless.

A Californian father found himself surrounded by his crying daughters, Georgia, 3, and Genevieve, 6 while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Were they hurt or in pain? No! The reason they thrown such tantrum was because their mommy went to the store to grab something really quickly.

It looks like the older sister is the initiator of the scene, and her little sis just follows and screams in line with Genevieve. Occasionally, the word ‘mommy’ can be heard coming from their mouth. Their behavior is too much for their dad to put up with so he comes up with a brilliant idea on how to make them stop.

This ingenious dad does something we should all learn from. He starts his own screaming and crying tantrum too and that leaves his daughters in confusion.

What’s most, it all turns into a sweet game where everyone takes turn to ‘fake cry’ for a while.

By the time it’s Georgia’s turn to cry, she’s no longer interested in doing so and just shakes her head in refusal while Genevieve seems to be into the game but her loud noises now turn into a quiet ones.

In a matter of minutes, everyone gets completely quiet and the tantrum is over. Now if you think calming the girls down was a pure luck, you might be wrong as the dad said how he did it before with his older daughter a long time ago and it worked every time.

In another video, Georgia could be seen crying her eyes out when dad steps in and takes his turn to cry. The girl then doesn’t want to do it when she’s asked to and refuses to join in the game. Well, that’s exactly what her dad really wants to happen.

This trick seems to work its magic because it gives the girls a time out to control their emotions after which they are not into crying any longer.

Take a look at the video below and consider trying this the next time your kids cry for no reason.

Parents Dance With Kids To Phil Wright’s Choreography At IDA

As much as many moms and dads love dancing and goofing around with their kids, they don’t really have many opportunities doing so as the youngsters are often embarrassed to be seen hanging out and do creative things with their parents.

Well, not the kids from the video below. They have so much fun dancing and doing a choreography with their moms and dads that they will definitely make your day. I bet you can’t watch the whole thing without pulling some dance moves yourself.

It was choreographer Phil Wright from the International Dance Academy who came up with the routine and filmed the whole thing. Not only did he invite parents, but siblings, grandparents, and other members of his students’ families too.

It’s amazing how willing the older generation is to have fun when given the chance to. The song they’re dancing on is Earth Wind & Fire’s 1981 hit, “Let’s Groove” and it depicts just perfectly how everyone’s feeling being at the dance floor.

Just look at this mom’s crazy dancing style. I don’t think her girls were aware how great she was at twirling before she showed them how things are done.

A day filled with a bunch of laughing and endless entertainment, don’t you think so?

And this guy over here! He definitely deserves the parent of the year award as he’s dancing with his little baby; simply adorable!

Take a look at the video now and you can thank us later 🙂

Once in the house, dogs become an inseparable part of the family. They are equally important as the rest of the family members and Grizzy’s family knew that, so they never quit fighting for him once he was diagnosed with wobblers disease. This adorable dog and his human sibling Luke have been best friends from the moment they met and watching Grizzy struggle broke the boy’s heart.

The family was told that Grizzy could undergo a surgery and start walking again, but sadly, once out of the operating room, he was brought home on a gurney. It was difficult to move his huge body around the place, but his humans never lost hope that things could turn for the better for their dog.

The vets told them that it would take approximately four months for Grizzy to start walking again, but even after that period of time passed there was no significant improvement regarding his condition.

Determined to help him, his family placed Grizzy at a specialized facility, and although it meant he had to spend some time there, they all knew it was for the best. As it turned out, their decision was the right one, and after struggling for so long, Grizzy could be playing by his favorite boy’s side again.

Below is their story that teaches us to never stop fighting for what we love.
