Just another case of child abduction that could end up fatally was resolved with a positive outcome thanks to the Massachusetts State Police and the public who got involved in tracking the kidnapper down. 

The incident took place on Wednesday, when 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia got off the school bus and started walking home. She was abducted in broad daylight. 

One person, Julius Kenney, who witnessed the whole thing told Boston 25 News: “I came out and I heard the kid hollering for help. By the time I got down to get the plate number, all I saw was an individual bent over, throwing her in the back, shut the door and the car took off.”

Massachusetts State Police didn’t waste any time before they issued an Amber Alert. Along with that, they shared with the public the surveillance footage showing Charlotte walking down the street and the vehicle of the suspect. 

 

Luckily, soon after the Amber Alert was issued, motorists on the Massachusetts Turnpike who saw the vehicle of the abductor called the police and gave them information of the direction it headed.  

A construction site was positioned along the highway, around 30 minutes from where Charlotte was abducted, and it helped slow the vehicles down. 

Thankfully, the police was able to spot the blue Honda and rescue the terrified girl. 

Right after Charlotte was in the hands of the officers, she was taken to the hospital. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt. 

“She’s an amazing little girl,” State Police Lt. Bob Ackerman said. “I can’t believe how strong she was dealing with this.”

The suspect was later identified as 24-year-old Miguel Rodriguez. According to his parents, he was suffering from schizophrenia and paranoia and wasn’t taking his medications regularly despite doctors’ warnings that his condition could get worse without any.  

“We feel really bad, you know, as parents. We have kids ourselves,” Henry Rodriguez, Miguel’s father, said. “We feel relieved that the girl was found safe and sound. We were relieved that nothing happened to that little girl and that she is back with her family. We are grateful she’s all right.”

We are so glad Charlotte was found just in time and is reunited with her family who was praying for her safety. We also hope Miguel will get the medical help he desperately needs so that incidents like this one could be avoided in the future.

‘Cancer free’ are the two words some people wait for a long time to hear, and little Kristian is among the lucky ones who fought against this horrible disease and won the battle. 

In fact, this adorable kiddo is cancer free for 11 months and we can all agree that’s a perfect reason for celebration. The video of Kristian and his dad Kenny “Clutch” Thomas dancing to one of Lil Mama’s songs and celebrating life is just too cute for words. 

Their dance routine was posted on Instagram and people fell in love with the duo. Along with it, the proud and happy father wrote, “Father Son chemistry 11 Months Cancer Free!! If we can do it you can do it!! Live Free! Drop a <3 for Father Son Vibes!!”

However, this isn’t the first time for the whole country to share the fun with these father and son.

Clutch, who is a music producer, started filming dance videos with Kristian while he was still fighting with leukemia. 

Nonetheless, seeing that it made his boy happy, the two decided to never stop dancing together, and it’s now their favorite thing to do. 

While His Wife Was out of Town, Dad-of-3 Gave Their Master Bedroom a Complete Makeover

Most husbands out there are firmly convinced that their wives are ‘overly demanding’ at times and pleasing them is not really simple. Wives on the other hand believe this isn’t really true and their hubbies only make a big deal whenever they are asked to lend a helping hand around the house and the kids.

The sad reality is that women are somehow expected to be the ones completing most of the chores, such as doing the laundry, cleaning the place, and a bunch of other ‘tiny’ things that are truly time-consuming and tiring. 

However, many men break the stereotypes and share the housework with their wives, and we really need more of that in our society. 

Miles Boyer, for example, is the kind of husband every women would go for. When his wife Kate went out of town for a weekend, all he had to do was take care of the kids and the house until she’s back. 

But Miles went an extra mile and did something truly amazing for his wife. He gave the master bedroom a complete transformation and a fresh new look. On top of that, he filmed the whole thing and now we get to enjoy watching it.

After he emptied the room completely, he got rid of the hideous, old carpet that neither he nor Kate really loved and replaced it a with wooden floor that served as a perfect temporary dance floor for the three kids. 

Knowing he had to do things as quickly as he could, Miles painted the walls during the night, after the kids went to bed. 

During the next day, he brought the furniture back and made a DIY headboard. The place looked super organized and spotless. 

Now all he and the kids had to do was wait for Kate to come back. Needless to say, her reaction is super cute. She can’t really believe Miles did all of that by himself while taking care of the kids. 

You can take a look at the transformation process and Kate’s reaction in the video below.

Most people love watching talent shows because they are a perfect reminder that even ordinary people get a chance to shine and stun everyone around with their talent every once in a while. 

And when a contestant wins the ultimate recognition, such as the Golden Buzzer of America’s Got Talent, we know a knew star is born. Today, we present to you the incredible 13-year-old girl who received one of these so-much-anticipated buzzers and we are convinced her name is likely to be put on the list of singers whose vocals posses the magic to impact others’ lives. 

When Angelina Jordan, who won the show Norway’s Got Talent when she was only 7, started singing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the stage of the American counterpart, she won the hearts of everyone who got to hear her stunning voice. 

Words couldn’t really express how everyone, including the judges, felt after she let her voice loose. Not surprisingly, at the end of her performance confetti started flying around as Heidi Klum just knew this girl deserved the Golden Buzzer more than anyone else. 

“I feel like I am witnessing the birth of something really special, a star,” said the newest judge, Alesha Dixon.

“I think this moment…is going to change your life and your career forever,” then said Howie Mandel.

“Seriously, this was an amazing performance,” Simon Cowell added.

Heidi was the last one “to pass her judgment.”

“Finally you guys are finished talking,” Heidi said once she had the table. “You have no idea how hard it is for me to sit here to wait for you guys to jibbity jabbity jibbity jabbity, because this was so amazing!”

Angelina couldn’t believe what Heidi did and she neither could, nor she wanted to hide her excitement. The audience went wild and were lucky their new favorite singer got herself a place in the finals. 

Well, if this incredible experience didn’t melt our hearts enough, the story behind Angelina not wearing shoes during her performance made us all go ‘awww.’

“When I was around six years old, I saw this little girl around my age. I gave my shoes to her because she had scars on her feet and it was really cold,” Angelina shared with the crowd. “So, whenever I’m on the stage I always remember all the children that don’t have any parents, clothes and shoes. She’s always in my heart.”

In case you’ve missed it, you can hear Angelina’s incredible performance in the video below. 

 

Heartbroken mom begs public for help after late son’s ashes are stolen during burglary

Nothing speaks sadness and grief louder than the loss of a child. Those parents who have ever experienced this unbearable pain only have the memories of their loved ones to remind them of the happiness and the precious moments they once shared.

One bereaved mother named Melissa Carter shared some devastating news and is pleading the public for help after her son’s ashes were stolen during a burglary.

Speaking to Today Parents, heartbroken Melissa said how the incident took place on 29 December. She explained how she came to a smashed window that night and simply knew something was wrong. Many of her belongings were stolen, among which the heart-shaped urn of her little Jacob. “My living room was still kind of chaotic from Christmas, but it appeared nothing had been touched,” Carter told Today. “My computer was still here, my TV was still here, but I noticed that all the bedroom doors were open … I turned to my left and I saw that [my] son’s door is wide open, and I see his bedroom door completely smashed in. I immediately realized someone broke into my home.”

She shared a photo of what the urn looks like hoping those who took it would feel her pain and bring it back to her. It has the inscription “Jacob Carter, April 13, 2012” on it.

“I immediately noticed that someone had gone through my dresser,” Cater explained to Today. “The urn of my son, Jacob, was in there, along with all of my jewelry, and I noticed that the lid was off. All but a couple small necklaces were gone, and so I start looking around, trying to see if maybe someone realized it was an urn and dropped it, and I couldn’t find it anywhere.” The ashes are all she has from the baby she lost when she was just six months pregnant and they mean so much to her. “I am so heartbroken that someone broke into my home while I was gone and took his urn. That’s all I had of my baby.” Authorities are doing all in their power to track the burglars down, but despite a fingerprint they found in Carter’s home, they have no other leads. Carter’s mom is optimistic that her grandson’s urn would be returned and she believes the social media would have its impact on a possible positive outcome. “I am a realist and an optimist, but I will never give up hope that someday, Jacob’s urn will find its way back to our family,” Jeanette Guddat Haggerty said. “We are a strong family, and there are so many wonderful people in this world that have reached out.” Please spread this story and help one heartbroken mom get her boy’s ashes back!

Girl’s inoperable brain tumor disappears, parents claim ‘God healed Roxli’

When 11-year-old Roxli Doss from Hays County, Texas, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare and inoperable tumor, her family was left heartbroken. She experienced headaches, nausea, and double vision for some time and her parents brought her to the hospital for a check-up. But, little did they know the news would be devastating. They were informed how Roxli’s tumor was very aggressive and difficult to treat which is why they claim God had his share in making the cancer disappear completely after she received her treatments. Speaking of the time they learned of Roxli’s condition, her father, Scott Doss, said: “It was the worst news we could have had.” “At Dell Children’s, Texas Children’s, at Dana-Farber, at John Hopkins, and MD Anderson, all agreed it was DIPG.” All of the doctors who saw Roxli’s scans agreed how this tumor was very rare. “It is a devastating disease. You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing,” said Dr. Virginia Harrod of Dell Children’s Hospital. “We don’t have a cure. This is considered a terminal diagnosis.” Soon after the diagnosis, Roxli underwent 11 weeks of radiation and during the whole time, her mommy and daddy prayed to God and asked from him to save their girl.

Finally, their prayers were answered!

“The doctors guide us, but really the true guidance that we’re looking for is from God because that’s who we need our help from right now, and we’re really just praying for a miracle,” said Scott. The latest MRI scans showed that Roxli was cancer-free. The doctors who believed the tumor could not be operated on and said Roxli’s chances of surviving were bleak were now left in complete shock. “When I first saw Roxli’s MRI scan, it was actually unbelievable. The tumor is undetectable on the MRI scan, which is really unusual,” Dr. Harrod said. But Roxli’s parents were not really surprised from the positive outcome because their trust in God is endless and they were convinced their faith would work its magic. “A Miracle!! We all walked out in shock even though we had been begging, praying, asking and believing. Thank you Jesus just wasn’t enough to say,” they wrote on CaringBridge.org: “God is using precious Roxli as a vessel for His mighty power! REVIVAL is springing up in hearts everywhere!” Gena Doss wrote on Facebook. The dedicated medical professionals, along with Doss’ strong faith in God, made the unbelievable happen. Although the scans show Roxli is cancer-free, she’s currently undergoing precautionary immune treatments to ensure every single cancer cell is eradicated from her brain. Dr. Harrod said: “We are cautiously optimistic and will continue to monitor her on a regular basis along with the joy of celebrating in her recovery.” This story is so inspiring because it gives a ray of hope to other people and children fighting cancer and reminds them to never stop believing in miracles, because if you trust with all your hearts, they do happen.

Started celebrating my birthday a little early with @parademagazine. That’s a LOT of candles!!! #parademagazine

A post shared by Betty White (@bettymwhite) on

As her fans are still speaking of her last year’s celebration that was all about poker and a huge cake with her besties, they are eagerly waiting to see if this year’s party will top that one. But for Betty, who loves being part of the Hollywood glam and whose life right now revolves around “laughing and telling good stories,” reaching another magnificent year that she can spend around those she loves is all that matters.
What’s the secret behind a successful and long life like that of America’s sweetheart Betty? Well, asked about it back in 2018, she told Parade, “You just keep plugging away. You don’t give up.” “Enjoy life,” she said. “Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.” Happy Birthday Betty and many more to come! You are a true diva and a true inspiration to all of us!

Twins find wallet with cash, take a look at disabled veteran’s ID and knock on his door

How many times has it happened to you to lose your wallet, your keys, or even important documents? I know it happens to me very often. Luckily, I always find them in some of my drawers. 

But when you lose something out of your house, you only hope an honest person will stumble upon it and give it back to you before you lose hope of ever finding it again. 

Honestly, not many people will ever return a wallet with cash, but luckily for one veteran, his was found by two twin sisters with a heart of gold. 

14-year-old Makhia and Makyla Vincent from Detroit spotted the wallet in the snow while on their way to school. 

They took it in their hands and opened it in hopes of finding out who the owner might be. Inside, there were several credit cards and hundred of dollars in cash along with an ID. The girls didn’t even think twice before they decided to return it to the person who lost it. 

Speaking to WJBK, Makyla, whose granddad is also a retired military man, said: “I would hate if that was my granddad and that happened to him, so I knew we had to return it.”

The wallet belonged to a disabled veteran named Marc Walsh who served with the Marine Corps. 

The twins rushed to Marc’s address because they didn’t want him to worry. When they knocked on his door, Marc wasn’t home so they held the wallet up to the security camera before they left it on the the front step. 

When he got home, his roommate told Marc how his wallet was there and as he really wanted to know who the generous person who brought him his money and credit cards back was, the two checked the security system. 

Looking at the footage, Marc’s heart filled with joy as he knew there are still good people out there, and his angels were teens who were obviously brought up the right way. 

And just as Marc thought he can never thank the sisters in person, WJBK arranged them to meet. Mack told them how much their act meant to him as he was struggling to find a job at the time. On top of that, he got to pay them back with a generous gesture himself. 

This lovely story restores our faith in humanity, especially because the good doers are just teens.
