Police officer of 50 years dies on the day of his retirement after finishing his last shift

They say that If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. However, not many people are given the privilege to find a job that fulfills them completely and makes them happy. Hamblen County Deputy Stan Shaw was lucky to be doing what he loved the most.

Taking care of the members of the community and making sure they are safe and sound was this man’s top priority. He served his country and his people for 50 years. Sadly, on the day Deputy Shaw was about to have his last ever shift, he died of a heart attack.

After finishing the shift and saying goodbye to everyone at the department, Deputy Shaw headed home, but unfortunately, he never made it there, but was found unresponsive inside his vehicle.

The GoFundMe page set up by by Michael Quinton to help the late Deputy’s family read: “EMTs were able to get his heart going as he was transported to the hospital. It was determine he had a heart attack. Unfortunately he was without oxygen for too long, and was placed on life support. After many scans and second opinions it was determined he had no brain function. His wife of 38 years had to make the toughest decision.”

Deputy Shaw wanted to retire some 10 years ago, but after only a month spent at home, away from the department, he changed his mind because he knew the community needed him.

Speaking to Fox 19, his daughter, Rhea Shaw Grebenik, said of her father: “He believed in second chances. So, if he arrested you, or come in contact with you, or you had been arrested, he was one of the officers who would sit down with you and council you.”

Rhea also added how her dad had a lot of plans for the future. He envisioned his golden days enjoying with his wife and dog, going fishing with his daughter and her husband, and doing woodwork with his grandchildren. Sadly, he was never given that chance.

“He served his community up until his dying day and I’m proud of him for that,” Rhea said.

Rest in peace, Deputy Shaw, and thank you for your service and your commitment.

What many considered a despicable act of inhumanity happened in the Brazilian market Carrefour on August 14 of 2020 after a man who worked as a sales representative for a food brand inside the store suffered a heart-attack and his body was surrounded with boxes and covered with umbrellas.

While the body was lying on the floor, the market didn’t close and customers were casually shopping as they had no idea what was going on.

Later, a photo of the body was shared online and people were left completely outraged at the horrific way of how the employees and the managers managed the situation and disrespected the deceased.

“This is the body of a deceased worker in the middle of the Carrefour supermarket. He died while working and was covered with umbrellas. Witnesses say the supermarket functioned normally,” the caption shared along the photo read.

Brazilian news outlet G1 also shared the story of the unfortunate passing of 51-year-old Moisés Santos and contacted the store’s manager who admitted that they handled the situation inappropriately.

Before the staff from the funeral home arrived, at least three hours had passed.

Carefour issued a statement offering an apology but insisted they were advised not to move the body. However they are completely aware that their error is in “not closing the store immediately after what happened to await the funeral service, as well as in not finding the correct way to look after the body.”

“We apologize to the family and stand ready to support them in whatever way necessary,” Carrefour said, as reported by Reuters.

If a musician as famous and as distinguished as Cher gives a standing ovation to a performer, then it definitely means the performer is very talented. Singing the iconic Believe, Adam Lambert brought Cher to tears during the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors.

This young man has made a name for himself after taking the stage of America’s Got Talent. He got to the finals and ended up second, but that didn’t prevent him from stealing millions of hearts. Lambert’s vocal is so powerful that Queen’s original guitarist Brian May couldn’t help by invite him on a tour which turned into a long-lasting cooperation. The band is still having concerts and are known by the name Queen + Adam Lambert.

It was Lambert’s hit single Whataya Want From Me that helped him secure his position in the music industry. His first album, For Your Entertainment, debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the young musician experienced huge success.

While performing Believe, Lambert belted out a pitch-perfect tones and Cher couldn’t contain her feelings thus poured her heart out, and with that, she paid Lambert the biggest compliment. Listening to him perform this son is an out-of-this-world experience.

Meet Mr. Jennings, an 86-year-old man who has lived a life of giving and making others happy. Honestly, we don’t see many people like him nowadays, so it’s safe to say that he’s one of the most generous and most dedicated individuals we have ever heard of.

Now, if you wonder what makes this man so special let us share his story with you. Over the course of 32 years, Mr. Jennings, who has suffered two mini strokes recently, has recycled cans, paper, pennies, and other recyclables worth $400,000 that he has donated to the Georgia Baptist Home for Children.

An ordinary day of this extraordinary man’s life consists of driving around town and collecting paper and other materials from the local stores and churches which he then brings to the Chattanooga Recycle Center on Central Avenue. As a lot of people know what he is doing, many leave recyclables in front of his home as well.

He says he won’t stop doing what he’s doing until the “undertaker turns his toes up!”

Mr. Jennings lives by the words “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away,” by great Pablo Picasso.

What an incredible man. We wish him health and only the best in the years to come so that he can help even more children. Way to go, Mr. Jennings, you are one of a kind!

Every child should grow up surrounded by love and affection by their parents, because those two people whom they call mom and dad are the safest shelter a child will ever need or ask for.

The video below shows the beauty of the bond between fathers and daughters.

In their fathers, the girls will always have a protector, and that’s the cutest thing there is.

The father from the video is dancing with his daughter while making breakfast. The mom enters the kitchen and witnesses the heartwarming sight of the duo having fun and making sweet memories they will both cherish forever. She decides to take a video which she later shared online and captured the hearts of millions of people.

A lot of girls and women commented how the girl is the happiest out there for having such a loving dad. Those who lost theirs said this reminded them of the times they had their fathers by their side.

Parents bury 2-year-old child in the sand up to her neck under hot sun, while they fool around in the water

Not everyone deserves to be called a parent. While many moms and dads put their children’s needs on the top of the list of their priorities and make sure their little ones are well taken care of and protected, sadly, there are also those who are not really concerned for the well-being of their offspring.

A very sad incident took place recently at the Atlantic Ocean resort of Santa Clara in Buenos Aires, Argentina, showing exactly what we are speaking of.

A lot of passersby were shocked by the sight of a little girl buried in the sand with her head out and under the scorching sun. There was no adult around and it looked like the poor child had been in that position for quite some time. She was extremely hot but unable to move and cover her head. During that time, her parents were having sex in the water.

People gathered around and decided to alert the police of what looked like obvious child neglect.

It took the police quite some time to arrive at the scene and arrest the parents who put their daughter in danger. Speaking to the Argentinian newspaper called Clarin, as quoted by Daily Star, and eye-witness said that the girl was “hungry and sunburnt,” adding: “It was about 95 degrees Fahrenheit so imagine what that poor little girl was like.”

After the arrest, which both the parents resisted, it was discovered that the mother had drugs in her purse. According to the police, she possessed cannabis, ecstasy, and sedative Rivotril.

The two-year-old girl was taken away from the irresponsible parents and placed in temporary care.

4 young boys save starving dog tied with bungee cords at the back of a house

Some people are simply born to do good for others and help this world become a better place. Four boys from Detroit proved that societies sometimes misjudge young people when they dub them careless.

Brothers Kenny, Kenneth, and Kevin Dancy, together with their friend Andrew Daniels were helping an elderly neighbor with her stuff when she was moving places when they came across a heartbreaking sight.

Source: Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue/Facebook

A severely starved dog was tied at the back of one of the houses. The boys knew the poor animal was in a very bad shape and didn’t want to live her there. Soon, the quick-thinking boys untied the dog from the bungee cords, wrapped her in a jacket, and took her home.

They named the dog Sparkles and were determined to help her turn into a healthy dog again. They gave her food and water and made sure she was comfortable. As they were walking Sparkles around the neighborhood the following day, they came across members of the Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue and told them the whole story. This encounter was pure luck.

The rescuers took Sparkles and rushed her to the vet’s. Besides being starved, she also had mange and it was obvious she had been severely neglected.

Later, the shelter staff shared Sparkles’ story on their Facebook page and thanked the young heroes for their good deed. “You could tell they really love this dog,” said Theresa Sumpter, the organization’s founder, speaking to WDIV.

“They were protective of the dog and wanted to make sure the dog was going to a good place.”

The vet determined Sparkles didn’t really have mange as the rescuers thought, but it looked like that because she was very thin. Luckily, that meant she could be put up for adoption sooner than they expected.

Soon after, Pet Tales Rescue, a rescue organization close to Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue found the perfect foster mommy for Sparkle.

As for the boys who saved her, they didn’t stop there. After Sparkles’ rescue, they saved two other dogs from the streets.

These boys did an amazing job. They are true heroes we should all learn from.

A vast amount of people who believe posses a talent worth sharing with the world take the stage of prominent talent shows and competitions in hopes of being noticed for what they do best.

Some manage to make a name for themselves, others fail to stun the judges. No matter the outcome, there are some auditions that leave us speechless years after they first took place. Such is that of incredibly talented, then 14-year-old, Olivia Archbold, who was part of Britain’s Got Talent.

The teen was battling stage fright as she stood in front of Amanda, Pierce, and the man who rarely smiles while someone competes, Simon Cowell. However, despite that, Olivia showed incredible vocal skills. The moment she started singing Arms Of an Angel, the crowd went wild and Simon smiled.

Amanda described Olivia’s performance as “utterly beautiful,” while Pierce added how he believed that she wasn’t even aware of “how good she were.”

Simon was left last to comment the performance that he clearly liked, based on his facial expression. “You made the audition your version of the song,” he said and added that he was impressed.

Take a look at Olivia’s audition below. She got to the semi-final but lost over Tobias Mead.

Boy spends all his savings to buy a bicycle for the gas station attendant

By

Monica Pop

It’s truly amazing how far a simple act of kindness can go. We actually never know how our actions make other people feel or how deep of an impact they have on them. That is why we should always mind our behavior, as well as the words we speak to those around us, no matter if they are our friends or complete strangers we meet along the way of the journey called life.

Mandy Peterson’s story is a reminder that if you do good, good shall come to you.

She and her son Vaughn were having fun riding their bikes in Gillitts, South Africa when the boy felt sick. They quickly got into a convenience store so that he could rest and have some water. Little did these mother and son know how the encounter with one of the store’s employees will get them a friend for life. Tony noticed how the boy wasn’t feeling well and decided to step in, and just in a matter of minutes, lovely Vaughn was laughing and smiling again.

This meant so much for Mandy whose life goal was to raise her child in the spirit of doing good to others. Now that someone else did something good for Vaughn, she was certain he’ll learn how important it is for him to do the same thing for someone in need.

“Over the years I’ve tried to live like that and teach my child to do the same.”

Vaughn and Tony became good friends. They would often chat about bikes whenever Mandy and her son were visiting the gas station where he worked.

“(He) listens so obligingly to him as he chatters away.”

The boy knew how much his friend Tony wanted to buy a new bike, so he decided to save some money and purchase it as a present for Tony. The boy obviously didn’t have the right amount, but he was willing to spend all the silver coins he had been collecting for months.

One day, he approached his mommy with a rather confusing question. He asked her how much she wanted to go on holiday that year, because he was willing to spend his holiday money on the bike instead. Mandy couldn’t believe how kind and generous her son was. She always taught him the real values in life, and this was just a proof that she did parenting right.

“(He) asked if I really wanted a holiday and upon asking why, he said he would rather put his savings toward helping Tony get his bike.”

Mandy and Vaughn had a mission. They were getting the best bike for the best guy they knew. Overly excited, the two went to the Game store and purchased the present.

“Our children make us proud on so many occasions but today my heart and his is so full of the joy at the kind man’s face as he, rather stunned accepted his gift from this 10-year-old boy.”

This good deed triggered another one. The chain of generosity and kindness was getting longer. The manager of the store where they bought the bike learned of Vaughn’s story and they wanted to be part of it.

“Vaughn had such ‘good game,’ we just had to get on board! So we’re giving Tony a Game voucher for the same value as his new bike! And of course we can’t forget about you Vaughn, so we’ll be sending one your way, too. Together we can make the world a better place.”

Luis Farias from the gas station where Tony worked was glad one of their employees was the reason so many kind deeds were taking place in this city, and you won’t be surprised if we tell you how they stepped in too and were happy to be part of this “pay it forward” movement Mandy and her son started.

“Dear Mandy and Vaughn, Your kind gesture and generosity is unmatched. We at Caltex Gillitts would like to thank you for your support and generosity and to show our appreciate, we would like to make Vaughn’s dream holiday come true and it’s on us.”

If this story isn’t going to make you do a kind deed yourself, we don’t know what will.

“Being a gentleman never goes out of fashion,” and it looks like 6-year-old Casey Boyd of Main Brook, N.L., who truly is a lady’s man, knows this all too well.

This past Valentine’s day, this young boy made the day of 155 women from his neighborhood by delivering roses to them and reminding them just how special they are.

In order to make this plan of his come true, adorable Casey was saving money the entire year. At the end, he could afford a rose for every girl and woman. In return, he got plenty of hugs and kisses. The ladies who were lucky enough to be given that special attention by the young gentleman were over the moon. Some of them even cried tears of joy, and it was the best thank you Casey could ever hope for.

Lynn Boyd, the boy’s mom, who is obviously doing parenting right, helped her son deliver the roses.

Speaking to CBC Radio’s St. John’s Morning Show, Casey said: “I just wanted to put smiles on everyone’s faces.”

At the end of the tiring day, he also gave his mom a bouquet. Well, she is the most special lady in his life and she taught him how to be caring and loving.

Casey says he has already started saving money for next year’s Valentine’s day, too. Way to go young man!

Man saves dog from being euthanized not knowing she was pregnant

By

Life is full of surprises, and many times, when we lose hope and when we least expect it, a miracle happens and reminds us that nothing is impossible.

Emma was a shelter dog who resided at a Charlotte animal shelter. Sadly, this isn’t a “no-kill” shelter, and poor Emma found herself on the list to be euthanized.

But then, someone took a notice of this lovely girl and took the time to inform an animal lover, Nicholas R., of the state Emma had found herself in. Nicholas though he could foster the dog and eventually adopt her. He got in touch with Dorsey Patrick, the Director and Founder of Jesse’s Place, who was willing to step in and help Nicholas get Emma under his wing.

According to Fox 46 Charlotte, Nicholas wrote to the organization: “I’m interested in fostering and possibly adopting this sweet girl…I’m very patient, calm, gentle, and have plenty of time to work with her. My last rescued boy died in 2016 from cancer.”

In no time, Emma found herself in a loving home. However, no one was aware that she was hiding something. To the surprise of everyone, the dog was pregnant. Days after she was rescued from certain death, Emma gave birth to 6 puppies. So, Nicholas didn’t only save her life, but that of her babies too.

According to him, Emma and the little ones are doing fine. We are so glad Nicholas stepped in for this mother just in time. May God bless him for his kindness.

Dad has a heartwarming message for the man who made his daughter’s waiting time at the airport fun

By

Although many of us believed how the new century and the fact that people are slowly but surely becoming open-minded of the new and unconventional things that surround them will bring a change in the way we perceive relations between humans, it’s sad how segregation is still present in modern countries like the United States. No matter how much some of us refuse to admit it, the issue of racial, age, or gender discrimination is there, and it’s real, and it’s up to us whether we’ll continue nurture those feelings of hatred or we’ll teach our kids that no matter how “different” we are, we are all the same.

An interesting encounter that took place at the airport while Kevin Armentrout and his family were waiting to board their flight is enough evidence that we can make things right only if we really give it a try. We can’t help but say how this guy does parenting right.

As people were trying to kill time using their phones or reading books, Kevin’s daughter was having fun running around the place and saying “hi” to random strangers. Needless to say, she managed to put a smile on everyone’s face.

But then, she noticed one guy who caught her interest, so the little girl simply approached and took a seat right next to him.

The man was glad he could make the girl’s waiting time more enjoyable by offering her his tablet and teaching her how to draw on it.

The two strangers spent around 45 minutes together, watching cartoons and laughing. Kevin had his eyes on his daughter all the time but he didn’t want to interrupt the two newly made friends. This father’s heart melted when he noticed his daughter offering the stranger, whose name was Joseph, her snacks.

Kevin later decided to share the story of the lovely encounter on his Facebook page, writing:

Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her.

If every parent out there wants a world for their kids as the one Kevin wants for his daughter, we’ll make the one we all share a much happier place. On the other hand, being kind to little kids will teach them how they should treat others with kindness too.

After Kevin posted the photo of the two friends having fun together, many people reached to him and told him how they knew Joseph and how he is one of the most generous and friendliest people they know. No one was surprised how he took the time to entertain the little girl because that’s what he does, makes people happy.

Kevin ended his post saying:

In a country that is continuously fed that it’s so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this… not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

It’s truly amazing how friendship knows no boundaries.

Police officer who breastfed a neglected and undernourished baby is promoted to sergeant

By

How far would you go for a tiny human being in need? Police officer Celeste Ayala from Berisso, Argentina, went above and beyond when she found herself in a situation where she could step in for someone vulnerable and fragile; a neglected baby who suffered from malnutrition and was called “dirty and smelly.” What she did to help the tiny soul made her a viral sensation and got her a promotion at work.

“That’s the type of police we’re proud of, the police we want,” the minister of security of the Buenos Aires province said after officer Ayala was promoted to sergeant.

Namely, the baby was brought to the Sister Maria Ludovica children’s hospital while Ayala was on the job as a guard.

Without even thinking twice, she took the baby that was handed to her, and she started breastfeeding it.

“I noticed that he was hungry, as he was putting his hand into his mouth, so I asked to hug him and breastfeed him. It was a sad moment, it broke my soul seeing him like this, society should be sensitive to the issues affecting children, it cannot keep happening,” she told a local outlet.

One of her colleagues, Marcos Heredia, believed that Ayala’s deed was worth sharing, so he posted a photo of her with the baby on the social media.

In the blink of an eye, the photo was shared and commented on by a huge number of people who only had words of praise for the kind and quick-thinking officer.

An official from the brigade where officer Ayala volunteers in her spare time also commented on her act of kindness and said: “We want to congratulate the voluntary firefighting cadet Celeste Ayala who yesterday in her job as police officer whilst she was on guard duty at the Hospital, breastfed a young child who arrived crying. Actions like these fill us with pride and obligate us to redouble the effort, the work and the solidarity with our community.”

What an exceptional woman!

Case of alleged child abuse reported by a stranger ends up with a boy being found dead three weeks later with patches of skin missing

By

Monica Pop

On February 28, a woman named Nahji Jackson spotted a young boy selling muffins right in front of Food Town on Briar Forest. From what she has told ABC 13, she got concerned for the boy’s well-being because he had cuts and bruises all over his face and wouldn’t speak. Jackson alerted the police and said she suspected child abuse.

Police spoke to the boy and contacted his parents who claimed he got the bruises from falling off a bike. The police wrote that the 8-year-old boy, whose name was Keyontae Holzendorf, seemed playful and didn’t appear to be scared of his parents. However, they did proceed the case to the Child Protective Service and the Physical Abuse Unit as a precaution, who didn’t find a record of previous abuse. Sadly, just three weeks after Jackson’s encounter with the boy, he died.

Namely, the police got a call of a possible drowning and arrived at the scene at Quality Inn and Suites off the West Beltway. It was Keyontae’s parents who made that call.

Keyontae was found lying in the middle of the room on the second floor, unresponsive and with severe injuries on his body. According to ABC 13, the boy was missing patches of skin on his chest, arms, tights, and the genitalia area. The investigators were aware there was more to the story than an accidental drowning.

Unfortunately, Keyontae was pronounced dead once at the hospital.

Speaking to ABC 13, Gilbert Sawtelle, the chief prosecutor of the Child Fatality Division at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, said: “When HFD and Houston police arrived, this complainant had many, many signs of chronic abuse, both old and new injuries and the new injuries are horrendous.”

There were also marks of handcuffs and ligature on the boy’s ankles. Apparently, his mother, Kayla Holzendorf, and her common-law husband, Dominique Lewis, tried hiding the handcuffs. They have been arrested and charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence. After the autopsy, the charges may be upgraded.

Rest in peace, Keyontae.

It takes bravery to be a firefighter. These people are aware they put their own lives on the line with each call they receive, but they still do it, because they know that if it wasn’t for them, many lives can be lost.

On Tuesday, around 1 a.m., a fire was reported to have broken out at Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley, New York. First responders came to the scene in no time and did all in their power to get each of the residents to safety. Unfortunately, one of the firefighters, Jared Lloyd, got trapped inside the building and nothing could be done to help him.

His body was located 24 hours after the fire started.

One of the residents also lost their life. Two other firefighters, along with 10 other residents, were injured and hospitalized.

The staff at the facility home got involved in the rescue as well. “They did some tremendous work, life savings, before the fire department got there,” Garfield Bryan, an administrator at the facility, told CBS2. “People was all over the place. It quickly started to look like a war zone.”

Rockland County Fire Coordinator Chris Kear said: “Blackout conditions, high heat. We’re protected by our ensemble, gear, mask, as firefighters. You can imagine what the residents that are trapped are going through. That gives us the extra Herculean effort to find these people.”

Single mom of 4 doesn’t have money for groceries, strangers step in when she needs it the most

Nowadays, many people struggle to make ends meet and can barely afford to buy the basic necessities.

A hidden camera television program named “What would you do?” shows how people react when they face situations in which they should make a decision whether to take an action or just walk by. The show first aired on ABC on February 26, 2008. It was created by Chris Whipple and is hosted by John Quiñones.

Throughout the years, the viewers could witness passersby and onlookers making unusual decision, but this time, the kindness one man and the rest of the customers were willing to show for the actress disguised in a single mom of four will melt your heart.

The scene took place in a grocery store in New Jersey and showed the mom walking in and later realizing she doesn’t have any money to pay for the groceries. The goal of the episode was to find out whether someone would come to this woman’s rescue and offer her a helping hand.

Surprisingly, or maybe not, the number of people who were willing to give the single mom some money is big.

The video shows that there are still compassionate people out there who wouldn’t let a human being suffer, no matter if that’s someone they know or a complete stranger.

Take a look at it below and don’t forget to share it with your friends. In the meantime, ask yourself what would YOU do!

Matted poodle gets rescued and undergoes an incredible transformation

By

Eldad Hagar is one of the most special people that we know of. If his name sounds familiar to you, you are probably a huge fan of animals. In fact, Eldad is the founder of Hope for Paws, one of the largest and most successful animal rescue organizations there are. Believe it or not, he and his team of vets and rescuers have helped save the life of thousands of animals in need of salvation.

This time, they made a change in the life of a sweet poodle whom they later named Dolly. When they received a call about a matted dog, they had no idea how severe Dolly’s condition really was. However, once at the scene, they became aware that they had to take her at their headquarters as soon as possible.

The thing was that Dolly wouldn’t allow them to approach her. She wasn’t a bad dog who wanted to hurt them, but she was way too scared to have trust in people.

Fortunately, the rescuers’ expertise in dealing with such cases helped them get near Dolly.

Once in their hands, this poodle’s life took a completely different turn and she now looks like a new dog. She’s all happy and healthy and has found her forever home with people who love her unconditionally.

You can see the incredible transformation in the video below.

Border Collie herds unusual “flock of sheep” for St. Patrick’s Day

You have probably seen millions of commercials in your life, but I bet you have never seen one as hilarious and as creative as this one.

St. Patrick’s day commemorates the patron saint of Ireland and the arrival of Christianity in the country. It also celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. People wear green attires or shamrocks and spend the day with those they love. Also, a huge number of public parades and festivals are taking place all over the country on the Feast of Saint Patrick.

Sixteen people went to the grassy lands of Yorkshire for the St. Patrick’s Day sheepdog trials to witness the agility and the exceptional performance of sheep herding by Gareth Longrass’ Border Collie, and 3-time winner, Roy.

Roy puts on an incredible show, but instead of sheep, he herds the humans who came to see him.

For this St.Patrick’s day, it is Roy’s job not to let these sixteen people get on the couch or in a restaurant. Instead, he guides them all right into the pub for a cold glass of Guinness!

This is definitely something you don’t want to miss.

Maddox Jolie-Pitt testified in his parents’ custody case and didn’t have kind words to say about his father

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie became a thing back in the day, the world went crazy. As much as many felt devastated over the split between the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star and Jennifer Aniston, they were as well excited to see how the big romance that Pitt and Jolie took from the screen to real life will proceed.

Today, the famous Brangelina couple is no longer together after the Maleficent star filed for divorce in 2016, shortly after the news of an alleged incident involving Pitt and the couple’s oldest son Maddox on the family’s private plane emerged.

Although no one knows what really happened, the alleged child abuse was investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services, and Pitt was cleared of any child abuse allegations almost immediately, as per US Weekly.

Just recently, Maddox testified against his father during the exes’ lengthy custody battle.

According to a source who spoke to US Weekly, “Maddox has already given testimony as [an] adult in the ongoing custody dispute and it wasn’t very flattering toward Brad.”

Further, the source was reported to have said: “He doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”

Many media outlets which follow the story of the battle over their kids between Pitt and Jolie report that Maddox and Pitt haven’t been seeing each other in years. Jolie told the court that she and the kids are willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of “testimony regarding domestic violence.”

Brangelina’s current trial should determine custody of their children and divide their estate.

We are yet to see the outcome of this lengthy battle.

Simon & Garfunkel’s songs are classics. Renditions of their hits, which are as popular today as on the day they were first released, have been done by a huge number of musicians, both professional artists and amateurs. And as much as we all agree that Simon and Garfunkel’s performances can never really be beaten, the one below proves us wrong.

The performance of the iconic piece of music The Sound of Silence performed by the American alternative metal band Disturbed is something truly special. The classic was recorded for the band’s album Immortalized, which was released in 2015.

Simon himself agreed that the performance was wonderful. He shared on his Facebook a video of Disturbed singing his song on Conan’s show.

David Draiman, the group’s frontman said the band was flattered and couldn’t have hoped for a more positive outcome.

Take a look at the breathtaking performance in the video below which has been seen over 120 million times.

Ever since the bombshell interview Meghan and Harry gave to Oprah, more and more people, including celebrities and journalists, want to have a say about everything that had been said by the former royals.

Pierce Morgan, for one, has spoken openly of how he feels about Meghan from the moment she and Prince Harry started dating. After the interview, he described the former Suits actress’ comments as “vile destructive self-serving nonsense” and criticized Harry of letting her “take down” his family and the Monarchy.

Meghan shared how she was struggling with suicidal thoughts and even sought help but was told by “senior royals” that it would affect the institution’s reputation.

“Look, I was really ashamed to have to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry especially, but I knew that if I didn’t say that, I would do it. I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” Meghan told Oprah.

As a response, the Palace said that the issues raised by the Sussexes, including comments on how dark Archie’s skin would be before he was born, would be dealt privately.

The Queen’s statement read that “the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”

Prince William also addressed the racist allegations when asked for a comment while visiting a school in east London. He was reported saying: “We’re very much not a racist family.”

Now, former FLOTUS Michele Obama, says she isn’t surprised by Meghan’s racial allegations and says it should serve as a “teachable moment” for the Royal family.

“This, first and foremost, is a family. I pray for forgiveness for them so that they can use this as teachable moment for us all,” Michelle told NBC News. “Race isn’t a new construct in this world for people of color, and so it wasn’t a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to hear them articulated.”

“Public service, it’s a bright, sharp, hot spotlight and most people don’t understand it nor should they,” Michelle further commented.

“The thing that I always keep in mind is that none of this is about us, it’s about the people that we serve, I always try to push the light back out and focus it on the folks that we’re actually here to serve.”

Meanwhile, Gayle King, Oprah’s friend and co-host of CBS ‘This Morning’ said Harry and Meghan confirmed to her that Harry spoke to both William and Prince Charles.

“It’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too, and the word I was given was that those conversations were not productive, but they are glad that they have at least started a conversation,” she said, as per British newspaper The Guardian.

The Palace, however, have not yet confirmed King’s remarks.

Baby puts on every facial expression there is while waking up

Growing up some 40 or more years ago, most of us have just a number of photos and maybe a couple of videos that our parents took of us. These memories are mostly from birthday celebrations, holidays, and graduations. Nowadays, however, with the smartphones and all the technology, we easily take a bunch of photos every single day, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise that our kids will have millions of photos of themselves while growing up.

Yes, parents tend to “immortalize” every little thing their kids do, and I guess that’s good. Just like this awesome dad who is taking lots of videos of his little boy Oliver.

The clips show different situations, many of which hilarious, just like the one captured in the video below.

The sweet bundle of joy is waking up and as he is trying to open his eyes, he puts on many different facial expressions. Going from grumpy to smiling, baby Oliver is stealing millions of hearts. Over 10 millions to be exact.

The daddy films Oliver and asks him if he had slept well, to what the little gay answers with the most adorable smile. He then changes the expression again, and puts the smile on one more time. “Give this baby an Oscar,” someone commented, while others agree that he’s so cute that they can’t stop watching him over and over again.

Take a look at the video below. Cute beyond words, don’t you agree?

Two young men watched elderly lady’s every move and offered their kindness when she needed it the most

Getting old doesn’t mean you don’t get to do many of the things you enjoyed back in the days. Many elderly know just the way how to have fun by going shopping all by themselves, eating healthy, visiting friends, and many more. This is true for those that are still vital besides their age such as this loving 93-year-old Alabama lady.

Although she is in her late 90s, she is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She has loving neighbors who are there to lend her a helping hand when needed and is loved by everyone around. She wouldn’t trade her freedom for anything, and never considered moving into a nursing home. However, she can’t stop pondering the question of how safe it is for a woman her age to be living all alone in such a big place.

These thoughts are justified because we often hear of stories of elderly people being robbed by people who know there is no one else in the house except for the vulnerable old person. These people may not only steal their money, but their identity as well. And while she though no one was watching her, she was wrong.

Two young men from the neighborhood were observing this lady’s routine for quite some time, eagerly waiting to approach her.

Rodney Smith Jr. and his best friend, Terrence Stroy, had something in mind. But, if your first thought was they were intending to harm their neighbor, you can’t be more wrong. These lovely men did the most amazing thing ever; assisted a woman in need. Once they noticed her lawn mover, they didn’t hesitate a bit before they took their time and effort to mow the lawn.

“We did this sweet lady’s lawn today. She is 93, the neighbors told us that she been out their trying to cut her own lawn. Have no fear, raising men lawn care is going to make sure her lawn is done every two weeks! Making a difference in our community!”

Facebook/Raising Men Lawn Care Service Hunstville

The way they felt after they saw the joy into the lady’s eyes was a call for the boys to make helping elderly and single mothers their mission. This inspired them to start a multi-state lawncare business catering. What’s most, they do it for free.

They attend school, and besides being great students, everyone says they are the best friends one can ask for. They definitely have hearts of gold.

“I thought I needed to do something about it. That’s when I decided to cut lawns for the elderly, disabled and single mothers for free.”

Their generosity is recognized by the whole community and their ingenuity is inspiring many other young men to follow into their footsteps and be useful and productive community members. Keeping children off the streets by involving them into voluntary work makes Rodney and Terrence true visionaries. They teach the kids the true values of life, and that’s being there for those in need.

Many praise their actions and encourage them to continue doing what they are doing, saying: “I love what you are doing! Keep it up!! The world could use a lot more people just like you Rodney!” and another person adds: “You are touching more hearts then you know….Proud of You!”

Below is the whole story of how everything started and what are these guys’ future plans. Take a look and share it with friends. You may inspire someone to make a good deed today.

While the body was lying on the floor, the market didn’t close and customers were casually shopping as they had no idea what was going on.

Before the staff from the funeral home arrived, at least three hours had passed.

He says he won’t stop doing what he’s doing until the “undertaker turns his toes up!”

In their fathers, the girls will always have a protector, and that’s the cutest thing there is.

People gathered around and decided to alert the police of what looked like obvious child neglect.

Some people are simply born to do good for others and help this world become a better place. Four boys from Detroit proved that societies sometimes misjudge young people when they dub them careless.

The rescuers took Sparkles and rushed her to the vet’s. Besides being starved, she also had mange and it was obvious she had been severely neglected.

As for the boys who saved her, they didn’t stop there. After Sparkles’ rescue, they saved two other dogs from the streets.

Amanda described Olivia’s performance as “utterly beautiful,” while Pierce added how he believed that she wasn’t even aware of “how good she were.”

Mandy Peterson’s story is a reminder that if you do good, good shall come to you.

Vaughn and Tony became good friends. They would often chat about bikes whenever Mandy and her son were visiting the gas station where he worked.

Mandy and Vaughn had a mission. They were getting the best bike for the best guy they knew. Overly excited, the two went to the Game store and purchased the present.

But then, she noticed one guy who caught her interest, so the little girl simply approached and took a seat right next to him.

Without even thinking twice, she took the baby that was handed to her, and she started breastfeeding it.

In the blink of an eye, the photo was shared and commented on by a huge number of people who only had words of praise for the kind and quick-thinking officer.

Unfortunately, Keyontae was pronounced dead once at the hospital.

His body was located 24 hours after the fire started.

Rest in peace, brave man. Your courage will never be forgotten.

Nowadays, many people struggle to make ends meet and can barely afford to buy the basic necessities.

Fortunately, the rescuers’ expertise in dealing with such cases helped them get near Dolly.

You have probably seen millions of commercials in your life, but I bet you have never seen one as hilarious and as creative as this one.

Roy puts on an incredible show, but instead of sheep, he herds the humans who came to see him.

Just recently, Maddox testified against his father during the exes’ lengthy custody battle.

Brangelina’s current trial should determine custody of their children and divide their estate.

As a response, the Palace said that the issues raised by the Sussexes, including comments on how dark Archie’s skin would be before he was born, would be dealt privately.
