Abused and starved 11-year-old boy kept in a basement for years “cried every night and prayed to die”

By

Brothers Eddie Carter and Ethan Kelly were over the moon when they were finally adopted back in 2007. Little did they know, however, that their life will turn into a living hell under the care of their new parents, Richard and Cynthia Kelly.

The boys were kept locked in the basement, beaten, starved, and intimidated, while everyone else was living in the house.

Around a year after the adoption was complete, the abusive couple decided to give Eddie away, but sadly, his brother left in the house of horror and experienced the unimaginable. During the court hearing against his abusers, Ethan recalled how he was forced to spend 23 hours a day in the basement. There was a camera that didn’t work there, but Richard and Cynthia convinced the boy that they were watching his every move.

Ethan was severely bitten with belts and wooden paddles and was forced to hit his head against the wall. His fragile body was full of open wounds on which the two psychopaths would put salt and alcohol. In the food they gave him, the Kelly’s would often put very hot sauce and made poor Ethan run laps around the house, as reported by AL.com.

“This wasn’t the dream. I cried every night and prayed for Jesus to end it all,” Ethan said in court, as reported by New York Post. “They told me I was a bad child. They told me no one loved me or would ever love me.”

Ethan’s suffering only came to light when he was brought to hospital one day. He was adopted when he was just 11, and was 14 at the time he was seen by the doctors who were left in complete shock by the severity of his health condition. Ethan only weighted 55 pounds.

The Kellys defended themselves by saying that they didn’t mean to hurt him, they only did “what we thought was best.”

Ethan is now an 18-year-old man who is studying at Jefferson County high school. Four years after he was taken to hospital and the story about his life came to light, he faced Richard and Cynthia at court and said: “I’m not who I used to be. I’m not even who I was supposed to be. I lived the story of Cinderella with no happy ending.”

The abusers were only given 2 years in prison.”It would be somewhere in the realm of 20 years to life if I weren’t constrained by the law. But I am,” said Shelby County Circuit Judge William H. Bostick.

As for Ethan, he decided it would be for the best if he left his past behind and do all in his power to move on. As reported by AL.com, his last words to the people who made his life miserable were: “Even though you’ll never say, ‘I’m sorry,’ I forgive you.”

Two-month-old baby girl is chatting with her dad and we can’t get enough

Dads and daughters! The bond created between them stars from the moment the little ones are welcomed into this world and lasts forever. No matter if some argue against it, the fact is that the love between dads and daughters can’t be compared to any other.

If you don’t trust us, just a single glance as baby Arabella and her daddy Zac is enough to convince you otherwise.

Zac is holding his 2-month-old girl in his arms and the two are having the cutest conversation ever. We are glad the mom decided to put this on tape. In fact, the family is taking a bunch of videos of their kids and upload them on their YouTube channel “Sophie & Boys,” and no matter how much we like the content they share, this video is definitely our favorite.

Although Arabella is way too young to be able to speak, it looks as though she is answering back to her dad. We are so sad we don’t understand a “word” she says, but from what we can see, she’s going to grow up into a chatty young lady.

Take a look at the video below and enjoy!

Ricky Gervais calls for trophy hunting to end, calling it “humanity at its very worst”

If Ricky Gervais is one of your favorite comedians, his views on poaching and trophy hunting will make you love him even more. Although he is best known for making us laugh because of his incredible sense of humor, this time he is discussing a relatively serious issue and he defends his opinions using language and examples that will make it easy for everyone to understand his point.

He has a word or two to tell the animal killers who, no matter how ironical it sounds, see themselves as conservators of the wildlife.

The brilliant RICKY GERVAIS supports the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting! Do you??

Speaking to The Sun, this incredible man known for his infamous Golden Globes hosting gigs and a prominent supporter of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting says: “Why are we even having to make the case for banning trophy hunting in the year 2020? It’s hard to think of anything more sickening or senseless than killing an animal for entertainment, then hacking it up so you can display its body parts and brag about it.”

After the killing of Cecil the lion prompted outrage in 2015, everyone believed that trophy hunting would somehow decline, but sadly, it wasn’t the case.

Today, more than five years after that incident, Gervais is again taking a stand and dubs trophy hunting as “humanity at its very worst.”

The Campaign to End Trophy Hunting reports that the number of lions killed in the wild during the last decade by trophy hunters exceeds 10,000. According to them, the number of lions left is only 20,000 and they are now at-risk species.

Luckily, there are some great news coming in as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has “renewed a pledge to ban trophy hunters bringing their sick souvenirs back to Britain,” as reported by the Mirror.

Toddler makes everyone crying during his adoption

By

Kelly White

-

Having children in your lives is a blessing from God, but how you sometimes go about that can be a different path for each one of us, as Mandi and Tyler found out. They always wanted to have children but struggled to get pregnant.

Mandi said:

“After failed pregnancy test and failed pregnancy test, I talked to my doctors …They were still hopeful, but I realized quickly that I couldn’t gain weight. So I’m like, ‘how am I going to be able to carry a child?’” she said.”

“Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease also complicated their dreams …We kept hearing the cry for foster parents in our area. So we talked about it and prayed about it and we signed up for the classes”

“Once we got licensed as foster-to-adopt parents, that week, we got the phone call for Hunter”

Since then they have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make their own family together.

Mandi went on to say:

“We went and picked him up at Children’s Services. We brought him home and we went through the roller coaster ride of foster care for that entire year”

It was only a year later, with all the uncertainty in between that the Palmers got the word, finally, that they could start the process of adoption.

They did the necessary paperwork at the courthouse and signed all the papers, they were very keen to get everything done and finished.

Madni said that the process was very emotional for her, but in a good way too, and that all their friends and family were there for them too!

Mandi said that:

“At the end of the court process, the judge announced [Hunter’s] new legal name. And they read the adoption decree and that’s when Hunter looked at my husband and he shouted, ‘Dad!’ “

“He just started clapping and everybody just started crying ..It was so emotional. It’s definitely rewarding.”

“It’s nice to look in his eyes now and not have to worry that he’s ever gonna have to leave us again.”

Even though Mandi and her hubby were really hesitant to enter the foster program, Mandi felt like she got a call from God to do it this way, she felt very good about it all!

She said:

“We prayed on it, and we just felt like God pushed us to do it”

Now Mandi feels that she really did the right thing, everything happens for a reason sometimes and Mandi feels her reason was Hunter, now they are complete as a family together.

Please SHARE this lovely story with friends and family and if you too are trying to get pregnant, maybe you could take inspiration from Mandi…

Soldiers say final goodbye to K-9 by covering his body with American flag

By

Monica Pop

Only those who have ever lost a pet they considered family know the pain behind the thought of never having to hold that creature in their arms again.

K-9 Bodza was an 11-year-old German Shepherd loved and respected by the entire community. He served loyally his entire life and was part of a number of missions outside U.S. Bodza was deployed in Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, and Kuwait and worked as a bomb detection dog with the U.S. Air Force.

Although he was there to protect many members of the military, it was soldier Kyle Smith who created a very close bond with Bodza. The two first met during their deployment in Kyrgyzstan in 2012 and became best of pals.

Speaking to The Dodo, Smith said of his friend: “I loved working with him because he taught me a lot — patience as a young handler, and how to understand that this job isn’t just about you. Bodza was a goofy and gentle dog. We had horse stables directly beside our obedience yard and when [the horses] were out, no obedience was going to be done. He’d run the fence line continuously.”

Unfortunately, brave Bodza was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy, a disease affecting his spine. That affected his walking and caused him pain with each step he struggled to take.

“His hind limbs lost their use and he could barely stand up anymore, much less walk,” Smith explained. “He couldn’t handle the stress on his body and using the restroom was a task.”

Not wanting to see him suffer any longer, Smith decided it would be for the best if he put Bodza to sleep. The dog died at an El Paso, Texas, clinic.

A number of soldiers were there to pay their tributes and thank Bodza for everything he had done for them. His body was draped in an American flag as a thank you for serving the country.

The photo of Bodza’s body soon went viral and became a representation of all the hard work by the K-9 dogs who are not afraid to lose their lives in order to protect ours’.

Rest in peace, Bodza. You will be dearly missed.

Judge reduces sentence for pastor who raped his 14-year-old daughter because he is a “man of God”

By

The case of Amber, an adopted girl who was repeatedly raped by her pastor father left the country in a complete shock. What made everyone even more angry is that the rapist’s sentence, which was recommended to be 71 years behind bars, was reduced to just 12.

The reason for the lenient sentence was that the pastor, 41-year-old David Richards, started studying the Bible with the inmates in jail, according to Judge Steve Sword.

Tennessee Pastor David Richards was convicted of repeatedly raping his 14-year-old daughter over 4 years. The prosecutor recommended 72 years in prison. The judge felt he was a good Christian and gave him 12.https://t.co/ozT3Ln6NZQ

— PostSecret (@postsecret) May 15, 2019

Amber Richard’s ordeal started when she was 14 years old and lasted for two long years. Unlike other child victims of sexual abuse whose identity is not unveiled to the public, brave Amber wanted both her name and her story to be heard. “I wanted to throw my body away. Not a day goes by that I don’t, in some way, think of what he did to me,” the girl said.

David never confessed of his acts against his adoptive daughter. However, forensics found traces of his semen on the girl’s bed frame. Speaking in court, he said, “I stand before you convicted of crimes I did not commit. I simply believe the system just erred in this case. I’m not sure why I’m here…but I assume it’s for his (God’s) purpose.”

Many of his close friends, including pastor David Thomspon, stood for David. “I find it impossible for me to believe he’s guilty of this. His business needs him. His family needs him. Our church needs him,” Thompson said.

“David Richards took the stand in his own defense, painting his accuser as a defiant teenager…

“Forensic testing, however, uncovered the presence of seminal fluid with a DNA profile matching that of David Richards on the girl’s bed frame.” https://t.co/neo3AtKYF7

— Spiritual Abuse (@SpiritualAbuse1) May 10, 2019

Amber, on the other hand, said that in case David gets out of prison, he will likely commit the crime again. “I firmly believe if given the opportunity, he would victimize another girl,” she added.

USA TODAY Network posted a video after the trial in which Amber reacts of her father’s conviction on nine felony counts, including rape, incest and sexual battery, in Knox County Criminal Court, “I’m just glad that I can finally move on with my life. And I didn’t really do this for me. I did it so it didn’t happen to anybody else. and so nobody else is in the same situation as I am, especially amazing kids. They don’t deserve to go through things like that and if I had to be the one to make sure that it never happens again then I would want to do that.”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson calls Meghan Markle a “manipulative opportunist”

Among those who slammed Meghan Markle publicly following her interview with Oprah Winfrey is controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Carlson is convinced that the Duchess of Sussex is only trying to depict herself as the victim, but is in fact a “manipulative opportunist” and a “narcissist.” On his show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday, he made sure he spoke openly on how he feels regarding Meghan’s words and brought the attention to the story about the argument between Meghan and Kate which apparently took place just before the wedding.

Tucker Carlson lampoons ‘manipulative opportunist’ Meghan Markle https://t.co/S83jnxECG5

— Daily Mail US (@DailyMail) March 10, 2021

“Here’s this royal person, one of the most famous and fawned over people in the world telling Oprah that she was incredibly wounded because she got into some sort of petty argument about dresses with her sister-in-law at her wedding three years ago. So stop the presses,” the host said before he invoked one of the darkest days in the American history.

“She and her sister-in-law had a tiff about clothes. That’s never happened before. She thinks this is important enough to bring up in a television interview. It was her 9/11. So of course she considers it newsworthy. OK, so she’s a narcissist.”

Speaking to Oprah, Meghan raised her concerns over the Royal family choosing to lie in order to protect other members, “but they weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband,” referring to the media headlines that she made Kate cry, when just the opposite happened, according to the former Suit actress. The Palace did not try to correct those writings.

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) March 10, 2021

Carlson further explained how he felt Meghan didn’t have the right to feel oppressed after she became part of the Royal family.

“What she’s really saying is that despite her enormous wealth and fame, despite the fact she never has to cook her own dinner or drive her own car ever again as long as she lives … she is, and this is the headline here, she’s actually an oppressed victim. She may look powerful, but she’s powerless.”

Candace Owens says Meghan Markle is a “liar” and a “narcissist” after interview

It doesn’t really come as a surprise that basically everyone wants their opinion regarding the Harry and Meghan interview heard. Described as a bombshell interview seen by millions, the former royals’ words echoed to each and every corner of the world, and while some support them and agree that their life in the Palace did not resemble a fairytall at all, others believe they are only seeking attention and don’t trust the word they said.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if a woman threatens to kill herself and your unborn child, you are in an emotionally abusive relationship.

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 8, 2021

Among the latter are Pierce Morgan, who quit his show in the U.K. after openly calling Meghan a liar, and political activist Candace Owens, who believes that “Piers Morgan was all of us when he was dressing down Meghan Markle and calling her out on the blatant lies that she’s told.”

Calling her a liar herself, Owens added: “She [Meghan] can’t even keep her story straight, by the way, if anybody remembers, about three years ago she said in a panel that she does not read newspapers, that she does not check social media because she does not like to read stories about her.”

Further, Owens said Meghan was a “narcissist.” She believes that the former actress felt immense pressure by the media and that was the reason why she decided to say she was at one point thinking of ending her own life.

Owens also spoke of the issue Meghan and Harry brought up regarding Archie’s skin color and said the Duchess couldn’t possibly face racial abuse because “when you look at her, you would not be able to discern just by looking at Meghan Markle that she’s black.”

What are your thoughts on Owens’ accusations of Meghan?

The interview which shook not only Britain, but the entire world, and is still number one topic, made the wide public divided over who to trust, the former royals, Harry and Meghan, or the Palace.

The shocking revelations triggered the hashtag #AbolishTheMonarchy to be trending all over the social media.

People are wondering what was really going on behind closed doors as Meghan accused the Royals of not being enough supportive, especially when she came forward to them about her suicidal thoughts, which she described as “a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought.”

The bombshell interview revealed that the life in the Palace is not as harmonious as most of us considered it to be, and now that The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties, for good, they are no longer constrained as to what they can and can’t say about the most famous family in the world.

Right after the couple opened their hearts to Oprah, and spoke of the conversation one of the senior royals had with them as to how dark Archie’s skin might be before he was welcomed into the world, everyone was in anticipation of hearing what the Queen would have to say about the allegations.

Queen Elizabeth II, released a statement in which she wrote: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.” The statement further read that the issue of raise is concerning.

Among the rest, Harry said that his brother, The Duke of Cambridge, and his father, Prince Charles, were trapped. He was trapped as well, but now he was free.

But as no one except for the Queen has commented on the interview, the public has been eager to hear what William and Charles think of Harry’s words. According to Sky News, William, who will one day conceivably be King of England, said: “We are very much not a racist family.” Asked whether he spoke to his brother, he answered: “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do.”

Regarding his relationship with his brother and father, Harry told Oprah: “The relationship is space at the moment. And time heals all things, hopefully.”

We honestly hope the brothers will be able to put any arguments aside and will be close as before.

Woman sees homeless man every day: Piece of paper she shared online about him reveals his true identity and brings him to his family

By

Life is unpredictable and we never know what awaits us around the corner. A man named Raimundo Arrudo Sobrinho knows that best. During the military dictatorship that troubled his country of Brazil in the 1970s, he became homeless and spent long 35 years of his life on the streets.

Looking dirty, not many people would ever get near him so he was all alone most of his days. His only companions were the papers and his pen.

This homeless man was a poetry writer and would put his words down, but sadly, no one has ever got to read any of them.

Luckily, that was all about to change when a very special woman named Shalla came across his path.

She noticed Raimundo would always write something and her curiosity didn’t leave her at ease until she approached him one day and asked him about his papers.

After she read his work, she was left stunned but his incredible talent so she decided to do something for him, and her act changed this man’s life forever.

Shalla knew it would be pity for Raimundo’s poems not to be shared with the world, so she shared them on Facebook along with his life story.

The post got the attention of many people who said his work was indeed extraordinary. They shared it with their friends and very soon, more than 100,000 people followed the page dedicated to Raimundo and couldn’t wait for more poems to be shared on it.

It took one woman that recognized one homeless’ man talent for his life to be turned upside down.

The most incredible thing was that one of the people who stumbled upon Shalla’s Facebook page was Raimundo’s long lost brother.

He recognized Raimundo under the filthy clothes and the long beard and contacted him. A very touching encounter was about to take place and it touched the hearts of many.

Raimundo was reunited with his family and was invited to live with them. He finally got to have a place he could call a home.

The years spent on the streets were now in the past.

Raimundo’s incredible life story was featured in the documentary “The Conditioned.”

It teaches us that no matter our wealth or looks, we are all humans who need a little love and support to find our place in this world.

Shalla’s simple act of kindness went a long way and made a change that neither she nor Raimundo ever believed was possible.

Rude woman humiliates veteran for asking for a veteran discount

By

Monica Pop

-

What I love most about Americans is their love for their country and their respect for the veterans. Sadly, not everyone believes that the people who fought for our freedom should be treated as heroes, and the video below shows just that.

A young veteran orders food at Jollibee, a fast-food restaurant, and asks the person behind the counter whether there is discount for veterans. However, even before he gets an answer, one of the customers comments by saying, “wow, that’s rude.” When he asks the woman what she means by that, she says how veterans believe they should be privileged only because they are part of the military.

The veteran is shocked to hear that, but still, he responds back in a very calm manner and tries to explain that asking for a discount is not a privilege. On the contrary, privilege is “getting to go home, to go home to your family every night, to go home in a free country because some people give up their privileges so that people like you can have them.”

He then apologized to the cashier in case she felt offended when he asked for the veteran discount. In the meantime, the rude woman left the place and another customer offered to pay for the veteran’s meal. But that wasn’t needed because the restaurant’s manager stepped in and told the veteran his lunch was on the house.

Our veterans are our heroes and they should never be treated with disrespect.

You can take a look at the video below. It has been seen over 11 million times.

Another successful operation during which 31 missing children were located and rescued was carried out by the U.S. Marshals and Homeland Security Investigations in partnership with Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie police departments. The “Operation Missing in the Metroplex” had been undergoing for over a month.

According to reports, among those rescued were minors tied to sex trafficking. One 15-year-old girl was recovered at a Dallas home, a 17-year-old girl was recovered from a vehicle, and a 13-year-old girl was recovered from an apartment. Additionally, two girls were recovered from Fort Worth.

All the children were provided help and were placed at a safe place. Some have already been returned to their legal guardians.

“We are grateful to be a part of a coalition of extraordinary law enforcement agencies who were dedicated in reuniting these children with their loved ones,” Garcia said. “It is our hope that each of them will be able to put this traumatic experience behind them and move forward to have a happy and productive life.”

Little girl sings touching song to her cat before he passes

By

Kids and animals form bonds strong like no other. So when our pets leave this world, the little ones are touched the most.

One family, however, will always be able not only to think of the great times they spent with their cat that passed away, but also to see the bunch of photos that witness of the memorable and fun times they had together.

Bailey was a very special cat who was an important part of the family. Erin Merryn and the rest of the household members included him in every activity, but it was the last one that touched the hearts of many.

Merryn recalls the time Bailey entered her life. She was still in college and this cat became her best friend the moment she took him in her arms. “I have always said if everyone had a Bailey there would be a lot less people in this world lonely or depressed. I always told people there was a little human inside Bailey.”

When Merryn welcomed her first bundle of joy, baby Abby, Bailey was there to share the joy with her.

Speaking to Love Meow, Merryn shares how the cat and the baby bonded instantly. She was scared at first because she didn’t know how Bailey would react to the new addition to the family but he was the most caring pet they could ever ask for.

Abby would play with the cute tabby cat and would read him stories. What was very interesting was that Bailey would show patience and would carefully listen to his human sister.

And when the second baby came into the family’s life, Bailey loved her the way he loved Abby. Merryn felt blessed knowing her girls were around someone who was so very affectionate about them.

The girls would take their furry brother with them wherever they went. They dressed him, took him to picnics, and pushed him like a baby in a stroller. So it didn’t really came as a surprise when people started calling him “no ordinary cat.”

“He just loved these girls and let them do whatever they wanted to him. It was incredible, ” Merryn told People.

Sadly, after 14 years, Bailey’s health became poor and he experienced kidney failure. The whole family was devastated and they made sure his last days were filled with the love and the affection he was surrounded with his whole life.

Merryn said how the girls were very sad over the fact their lovely pal would leave this world, but sadly, there was nothing that could be done.

The last video of Bailey and Abby was so touching that it triggered deep emotions and a lot of tears at everyone who witnessed the unconditional love that existed between these best friends.

Abby holds Bailey in her arms and gently sings, “You are my Sunshine.”

Even after Bailey’s passing people still get to enjoy the photos of him and all the fun he had growing old around his family as Merryn still runs the page “Bailey No Ordinary Cat.”

Realizing that people from all around the world fell in love with the photos, the family published a book.

Rest in peace sweet Bailey, you were the kind of pet everyone wishes to have in their life.

Every outlet, every magazine, every TV station and program, not only in the U.S. and U.K., but practically the entire world, is still broadcasting news about Meghan and Harry’s first tell-all interview after stepping down from their royal duties.

Days needed to pass in order for all those shocking revelations to settle and the Royal family to respond to everything that has been said by the Sussexes.

According to both Meghan and Harry, there were conversations about how dark Archie’s skin would be before he was born. This caused many to accuse the Palace of racism, and the wide public was eagerly waiting for the queen’s response to those accusations.

At one point during the interview, Meghan said: “I don’t know how they could expect, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. If that comes with risk of losing things…there’s a lot that’s been lost already.”

Of course, it was just a matter of time when the Palace would respond to the bombshell interview. Queen Elizabeth herself released a statement which read:

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

It looks like people were expecting more than what the statement read. We are yet to see if other members of the royalty will comment on the interview.

Father experiences heartbreak after he comes across a paper in which his son wrote he had no friends

I don’t think there is a parent out there who doesn’t want their kids to be happy and fulfilled, to have a lot of friends and be satisfied with their life, thus thrive and grow into respected individuals.

A father named Bob Cornelius experienced heartbreak after he learned that his son Christopher was extremely unhappy because he didn’t have any friends. The boy was asked to fill in a questionnaire about himself at school and his answer to the question who his friends were was: NO ONE.

As it turned out, Christopher’s classmates wouldn’t accept him because he had autism.

Bob knew he had to do something about his son’s problem, so he took to the social media, posted Christopher’s questionnaire, and shared a story about a famous football player who noticed an autistic boy having lunch all by himself while the rest of the tables were full of groups of children, so he sat down with the boy and made him company.

After this, many kids started hanging out with Christopher, who never had a sleepover with a friend, unlike his brothers who always had friends in the house.

Things turned for the better, but Bob wondered why it took for him to speak up for his son before someone decided he was too just a regular boy who needed friends.He also wrote that these days “children are not taught to embrace and accept the differences of others.”

Despite all that, Bob is happy he helped raise awareness about autism among his son’s classmates.

Abandoned dog gets rescued just before storm hits

Trembling with fear, an abandoned 1-year-old puppy was struggling to find shelter before the storm which was approaching hit. A rescuer at Dog Rescue Shelter Mladenovac from Serbia was on his way to the shelter’s headquarters when he noticed the sweet animal in need.

He knew he had to act quick and try to get to her before she ran away. It was very obvious that the dog was afraid of humans. It looked as though her heart was broken before, so she was careful and couldn’t trust people easily.

However, her rescuer was patient and willing to give her as much time as she needed before he approached closer. Shortly after, the dog realized this man was nothing like the cruel owners who dumped her.

The puppy found herself in her rescuer’s vehicle just before the storm hit. She felt happy because she knew she was in safe hands. And she knew right. In one moment, she was homeless, and in the next, she was placed in a foster home, receiving a nice bath and a big bowl of food.

Her foster mom named her Lucy and cleaned her body from fleas. Lucy could now enjoy the comfy home and play with the rest of the furry residents, the dog named Mini and a cute cat.

We are glad Lucy got a new lease on life and we hope she will soon find her forever home with humans who will love her unconditionally, because that’s the least this beautiful pup deserves.

You can take a look at the whole story below. It is truly heartwarming.

Police officers spot a woman sitting at a parking lot all by herself- offer her a lift and buy her a ticket home

Most people believe that they should never interfere in other people’s business, even if those people are in trouble or experiencing hardship. But if we don’t step in for one another when we need that the most, won’t the humanity go into the wrong direction?

Deputies Anderson and Arbuckle, with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, shared a heartwarming story about an act of kindness they offered to a complete stranger. Their plan was not to brag, but to remind the community that the police officers from all over the country are serving their citizens with the best of their abilities and are always there to lend a helping hand.

Namely, as the deputies entered Denny’s to grab a quick lunch, they noticed a young woman sitting at the parking lot all by herself. She had a big suitcase, and it looked to the officers that all of her belongings were packed in that polka dotted traveling bag.

They could feel something wasn’t right, so they decided to approach and offer the lady to get inside with them. They treated her lunch and then gave her a lift to the Greyhound bus station. On top of that, they bought her the ticket home.

CONCERN FOR OUR COMMUNITY:

Later, the department shared what happened and wrote that “the two officers actions demonstrate adherence to the Mission, Vision, and Values of our Department, most notably a concern for the community and treating the woman with empathy and respect when she was in a bad situation.”

Sports matches between rivals don’t always end up peacefully. The loyal fans who cheer their teams tend to fight and argue over the game, but luckily, that’s not always the case. Some fans respect those who support the other team or national representation, just like the Canadian guys from the video below.

During a match between two teams, one from the U.S. and the other one from Canada, the mic stopped working shortly after the performer started singing the American national. But then, something truly incredible happened. The Canadians continued singing in one voice. It truly was a moment to remember which reminded us how lucky we are to have this country and its people as our neighbors.

The video of the Toronto Maple Leafs fans stepping in and cherishing our anthem has been seen more than 7.8 million times and it gives us goosebumps every time we watch it. Yes, this is one of those videos that you go back to every now and then.

People couldn’t help by comment, with many of them saying that this was the ultimate form of respect.

“American Veteran here. Our Canadian brothers and sisters are a very kind and loyal people. I will bare arms to protect and defend,” one person wrote. Another added, “I’m an American— I know all the words to “O Canada” and sing it just as loudly as I do my own anthem. ☺️ Thank you, Canada, for being such an awesome neighbor!! ❤️”

This is definitely a must watch. Check the incredibly touching moment in the video below.

Traveling with young kids can be exhausting and many times troubling because you never know how they would react and whether they will keep quiet or disturb other passengers.

A mom of two named Sonja Redding was flying from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, but one of her kids, Xayvior, who has autism, misbehaved. She couldn’t calm him down, and just as she thought things would become even worse, a flight attendant named Amanda Amburgy, decided to offer help.

She asked Sonja if she would allow her to take Xayvior in her arms. Sonja agreed and Amanda did wonders. Not only she managed to calm the boy down, but she made him smile too. At the end, she even got a few kisses from sweet Xayvior.

Sonja posted the experience on Facebook and thanked Amanda for the compassion she showed. “Amanda just showed love and empathy without hesitation, and swooped him up, taking him on a tour of the plane. We need more people like this in the world.”

People like Amanda make this world a bit more beautiful!

Elderly lady breaks dishes at a store, the manager’s reaction is heartwarming

This story was shared online by a woman named Joan McCartney for the purpose of inspiring people to do kindness and step in for those in need.

While she was at the grocery store, she heard a loud crash. As she went to see what happened, Joan noticed an elderly lady kneeling on the floor, picking up the pieces of the dishes she accidentally broke. However, what Joan found really shocking was that no one of the customers tried helping the lady. They were just looking at her and waited to see what would happen, except for Joan.

The lady’s husband was also standing next to his wife and could be heard saying: “Now we’ll have to pay for all of them.”

But then, something very beautiful happened. The store’s manager noticed the lady and told her not to worry about the dishes she broke. He assured her that the store’s insurance would cover it. He then saw that her hand was bleeding and told her to go to the hospital instead of picking up the pieces.

Along with the story, Joan wrote: “Collect the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you. God will heal all your wounds, and I assure you that your sins and mistakes will be forgiven.”

What a beautiful message.

Shocking details about the death of the 6-year-old boy James Robert Hutchinson who was reported missing but was later found dead emerged. His mother, 29-year-old Brittany Gosney, went to the police to report that her son was nowhere to be found, but confessed to murdering him a few days later. The police were certain there was more to the story and managed to force her confess to the horrific crime she had committed.

Apparently, Brittany was pressured to get rid of her kids by her 42-year-old boyfriend James Russell Hamilton. According to an investigation report, the cruel mother planned on abandoning her three kids at the Preble County wildlife area, but little Hutchinson tried getting inside the car, and it was then that his mother ran over him.

“Brittany slammed the gas trying to leave the kids and drug [sic] Hutchinson possibly running him over. Brittany turned the vehicle around to check on Hutchinson and he was dead. Brittany then loaded the 2 live children and Hutchinson back into the vehicle and returned to her and Hamilton’s residence,” according to The Daily Beast.

The boy’s siblings witnessed their brother being killed.

In the morning of February 28, a day after the murder took place, Brittany and her boyfriend “drove the Dodge Caravan to the bridge that goes over the Ohio River and threw Hutchinson’s body into the water below,” according to the sheriff’s report. She reported her son missing that same day.

Brittany has been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. Her bail has been set for $1 million. Her boyfriend has been charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, with a bail set at $105,000.

Brittany’s two other children have been placed in foster care.

We hope the justice for the sweet boy will be served.

4-year-old Irish dancer takes the dance floor and performs to perfection

Modern times impose modern styles in dancing, music, and art in general. But it always warms my heart when I see parents teaching their little ones about the traditional forms of different types of art. Because it’s the tradition which made us who we are today, right?

Little Oscar was just four years old when he took the stage of a dancing competition and made everyone go “aww.” He tapped to the rhythm of the traditional Irish music and stole everyone’s heart. How could such a wee boy perfect this style to this extent, people wondered. With a hard work, we guess, but also with an innate talent.

Not only he mastered his routine to magnificence, but he added some unique twists and spins which made the whole thing even better to watch.

People couldn’t help but comment on Oscar’s video. One person wrote, “This made me really cry! He’s so beautiful, I completely lost it!” while another added, “When a 4 year old is a better dance than you will ever be.”

Oscar’s routine was described as amazing, unique, awesome and inspiring.

Check out the video of him performing below. His understanding of timing and rhythm is truly mesmerizing!

The boys were kept locked in the basement, beaten, starved, and intimidated, while everyone else was living in the house.

The Kellys defended themselves by saying that they didn’t mean to hurt him, they only did “what we thought was best.”

If you don’t trust us, just a single glance as baby Arabella and her daddy Zac is enough to convince you otherwise.

After the killing of Cecil the lion prompted outrage in 2015, everyone believed that trophy hunting would somehow decline, but sadly, it wasn’t the case.

Since then they have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make their own family together.

They did the necessary paperwork at the courthouse and signed all the papers, they were very keen to get everything done and finished.

Only those who have ever lost a pet they considered family know the pain behind the thought of never having to hold that creature in their arms again.

Not wanting to see him suffer any longer, Smith decided it would be for the best if he put Bodza to sleep. The dog died at an El Paso, Texas, clinic.

The reason for the lenient sentence was that the pastor, 41-year-old David Richards, started studying the Bible with the inmates in jail, according to Judge Steve Sword.

Amber, on the other hand, said that in case David gets out of prison, he will likely commit the crime again. “I firmly believe if given the opportunity, he would victimize another girl,” she added.

However, as most kids start speaking after their turn one, and even later, one very special baby knows how to say the word mom at only two months old.

Among those who slammed Meghan Markle publicly following her interview with Oprah Winfrey is controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Carlson further explained how he felt Meghan didn’t have the right to feel oppressed after she became part of the Royal family.

The shocking revelations triggered the hashtag #AbolishTheMonarchy to be trending all over the social media.

Life is unpredictable and we never know what awaits us around the corner. A man named Raimundo Arrudo Sobrinho knows that best. During the military dictatorship that troubled his country of Brazil in the 1970s, he became homeless and spent long 35 years of his life on the streets.

Shalla knew it would be pity for Raimundo’s poems not to be shared with the world, so she shared them on Facebook along with his life story.

Shalla’s simple act of kindness went a long way and made a change that neither she nor Raimundo ever believed was possible.

Our veterans are our heroes and they should never be treated with disrespect.

Kids and animals form bonds strong like no other. So when our pets leave this world, the little ones are touched the most.

When Merryn welcomed her first bundle of joy, baby Abby, Bailey was there to share the joy with her.

Merryn said how the girls were very sad over the fact their lovely pal would leave this world, but sadly, there was nothing that could be done.

Days needed to pass in order for all those shocking revelations to settle and the Royal family to respond to everything that has been said by the Sussexes.

As it turned out, Christopher’s classmates wouldn’t accept him because he had autism.

People couldn’t help by comment, with many of them saying that this was the ultimate form of respect.

The boy’s siblings witnessed their brother being killed.
