Toddler recovering after falling 100 ft

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Great.

This is really going to add to my paranoia about tall escalators and fear of heights.

A 3 year old toddler fell through a gap between the escalator and the floor, falling 100 feet, that resulted in life threatening injuries.

100 feet! That’s REALLY High!!

A girl of three seriously injured after falling 100ft from an escalator was “improving” in hospital.

The toddler is thought to have fallen over the side as it travelled up to the third floor of a Primark store in Liverpool city centre.

The youngster was described as “stable but poorly” after previously being “critical” following the fall at Primark in Liverpool.

She was initially treated at the Royal Liverpool Hospital before she was transferred to intensive care at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said: “The girl’s condition has now been downgraded from critical to stable but poorly.

“She suffered a broken left leg and left arm which have both been recast and she also received internal injuries.”

The girl toppled backwards through the gap between the upward and downward escalators, on to the lower ground floor, at lunch time yesterday.

Teen held toddler down and forced to smoke pot

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

A teenage girl has been arrested in conjunction with child abuse charges when a videotape showed up at a pawn shop, showing her forcing an almost 2 year old toddler to smoke marijuana.

What a whore.

Oh, and her brother helped. Apparently, class just oozes from this family.

NEWARK, Ohio — The daughter of a Licking County man arrested in March in a drug raid at his Pataskala home was arraigned today in Licking County juvenile court on charges she gave marijuana to a toddler.

Angel Dailey, 16, pleaded not guilty to two delinquency counts of corrupting another with drugs and one charge of child endangerment. Pataskala police are reviewing a videotape that reportedly shows Dailey giving a toddler girl the drugs.

Dailey is accused of holding down the girl, who will turn 2 years old Saturday, while she and an 18-year-old man gave her marijuana. Dailey was arrested late yesterday and is being held in a juvenile facility in Lancaster. Charges against the man are pending.

Warren Jeffs child brides taken into custody

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Jeeze,, what took so long?

Isn’t Warren Jeff’s brand of religion just an excuse to try to find a loophole for pedophilia?

ELDORADO, Texas (CNN) — Authorities say they removed 52 children, ages 6 months to 17 years, from a West Texas ranch occupied by followers of imprisoned polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs

Eighteen girls have been placed in the temporary custody of the state under a court order, said Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner.

Authorities said they continue to search the 1,900-acre YFZ ranch, and at least one suspect is being sought by police.

Meisner said troopers and child welfare officials arrived at the secluded ranch Thursday evening with arrest and search warrants. They were responding to a report of “physical abuse” and neglect involving a 16-year-old girl.

Another Child Protective Services spokesman, Darrell Azar, said the 18 girls were placed in state custody because it appeared they “had been abused or were at immediate risk of future abuse.”
