A high school principal in Naperville, Illinois has been fired after he delivered a former student’s speech without attribution. Bravo to the school district, for holding administrators to the same standards as the students.

Naperville School District 203 Supt. Alan Leis said negotiations are under way between lawyers representing the school district and Principal Jim Caudill, so he could not say what, if any, role Caudill will have with the school district next year. But Leis said Caudill will not return as Naperville Central principal in the fall.

Leis said the school district holds its students to a strict policy on plagiarism and could not tolerate anything less from its administrators, no matter how popular they may be. Caudill has been with the district for 34 years and had announced his intention to retire in two years, Leis said.

“There has to be one standard that we adhere to,” Leis said. “I am not in any way discounting all the good things that Mr. Caudill did.”

Cody Hall, a 15-year-old English girl that was born with hemangioma, a tumorous birthmark on her face that grew with age and caused disfigurement, has had 18 reconstructive surgeries and will now attend her first prom. Click through to the full story to see photos of the amazing transformation (not to mention a picture of her as a baby with Fergie! Score! Uh, this one, not that one.)

“Cody came to me several years back after she had undergone an initial procedure in San Francisco,” Hall’s surgeon, Milton Waner, told FOXNews.com. “She had some really bad problems at the time. It was a very difficult situation. She had excessive scarring from an aggressive hemangioma.”

Most of her 18 surgeries have been performed at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York.

“She had extensive tissue destruction and we performed several procedures to restore her face back to normalcy,” said Waner, who is co-director of the Vascular Birthmarks Institute of New York at Beth Israel Medical Center and St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center.

Waner said hemangiomas are benign tumors of the stem cells. Although the tumors are not fatal, their complications can be.

We couldn’t care less about other people’s drug use, but for godsakes keep your cocaine stash away from your kids, people.

Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a situation involving a toddler found under the influence of cocaine.

Deputies say the toddler’s mother took her child to Lehigh Regional Medical Center when she noticed a change in behavior.

Doctors found abnormal motor skills and their tests concluded that cocaine was the cause. The child was then taken to HealthPark.

We’ve always wondered less about the people that sell babies than those that *buy* them. Who does that? How do you explain it to the neighbors?

“Hey, Linda, I see you got a new Hispanic baby there.”

“Oh, yeah, well, we, uh, found him at Wal-Mart and decided to keep him. Gotta go!”

Amado Torres, 64, of Harlingen, Texas, and his 25-year-old wife Maria Isabel Hernandez are suspected of buying more than a dozen children aged 2 or younger, officials say.

Investigator Oralia Mancha said the child trafficking ring came to light when a woman came to a police station in Reynosa on Monday to report her granddaughter missing, spotted Torres there and claimed he had the baby.

Police later arrested Torres and Hernandez after finding them with the baby at a house in nearby Rio Bravo.

The uproar about bisphenol A (BPA) continues, and now the lawyers are getting involved. Wonder what took them so long? Paging John Edwards!

An Arkansas woman has filed a federal lawsuit accusing a baby bottle maker of using a dangerous chemical linked to serious health problems.

The lawsuit against Playtex Products seeks nationwide class action status to represent what it says are thousands of people who bought plastic bottles containing bisphenol A. It claims Playtex failed to adequately disclose that its plastic bottle products are formulated using BPA.

The government said last month that there’s “some concern” about BPA from experiments on animals, and a possible effect on humans “cannot be dismissed.”

A 9-month-old boy had to have surgery after he was mauled by the family’s dog while playing in their living room. And, hey, what do you know, it wasn’t a pit bull, but a boxer.

Authorities said the attack took place at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday when an adult male boxer named Tyson lunged at the child in the home on the 3600 block of Monmouth Place. The infant sustained injuries to his face and neck, and was taken to Oakland Children’s Hospital where he underwent surgery.

Fremont police detective Bill Veteran said at the time of the attack the boy was with his sister and an aunt.

“The child was in the living room with two female adults –.one is an adult sister. The other…an aunt,” Veteran said. “For no apparent reason the dog lunged out and grabbed the child by the face and the neck.”

Uh, a “children’s advocate” is not supposed to be advocating having sex with them.

A court-appointed children’s advocate remained in jail Wednesday night after police said they seized video allegedly showing him having sex with children ranging in age from 3 to 15 and two adult women who appeared to be unconscious.

Billy Dan Carroll, 53, is in jail on a bond of $2 million, said a Travis County Jail official. The jail official did not know if Carroll has an attorney. An automated message at the jail said Carroll must post the full bond amount or a surety bond worth $2 million before being released.

The Associated Press left phone messages at multiple listings for a Billy Carroll, but none were returned.

Carroll was arrested Sunday and faces a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child, in connection with a May 17 incident allegedly involving an 8-year-old girl, according to the Austin American-Statesman Web site.

An eighth grader who decided it would be a great idea to drive her mother’s car in their apartment complex parking lot jumped the curb and pinned a 5-year-old boy to a wall, killing him. Now her dumb move has permanently affected several lives, including her own.

As police investigated, neighbors at the apartment complex where the accident occurred stood in shock. Some sobbed and shouted from second-floor balconies.

Others looked in disbelief at the crashed car, which had been driven over a curb and came to rest with its rear bumper pressed against the wall.

As the car was lurching forward, the teen struck a wall, knocking out several cinder concrete blocks, witnesses said. When she put the car in reverse, she struck the boy, who was sitting on a planter, said Jason Fields, 17, who lives at the complex.

In the continued march toward logic and reason, New York Governor David Paterson has instructed state agencies to recognize same-sex couples who were married in states or counties where it was legal. Given the proximity of New York to Massachusetts — where gay marriage is legal — this is a pretty big deal.

The governor’s legal counsel told state agencies in a May 14 memo to revise policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in California and Massachusetts as well as Canada and other countries that allow gays and lesbians to marry, said Erin Duggan, the governor’s spokeswoman.

The memo informed state agencies that failing to recognize gay marriages would violate the New York’s human rights law, Duggan said.

The directive follows a February ruling from a New York state appeals court. That decision says that legal same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions are entitled to recognition in New York.

A 3-year-old boy from Tacoma, Washington died after he injured himself at his apartment complex’s playground.

The mother drove the boy to St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood.

Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum says the mother and her boyfriend say the child was injured Wednesday evening while playing.

Police have been interviewing the two and trying to determine exactly what happened.

Police were called to a home in Roselle, Illinois where the found a gruesome scene — a man, his wife, and their 7 year old son had been shot to death. Statements made by police officials seem to imply this was possibly a murder suicide.

Though police provided few details, they said the investigation is confined to the house and a killer is not believed to be at large. Police said that there were no signs of forced entry and that a handgun was found at the scene.

The woman’s mother called police about 11:45 a.m. after finding her daughter in the second-floor master bedroom of the house in the 700 block of North Woodfield Trail. The woman had gone to the home to check on her daughter after she missed a doctor’s appointment, police said.
