A tragic accident occurred at a Victoria, Texas car wash when a toddler was run over while playing at a self-serve car wash.

Police say the toddler and his six-year-old brother had been playing Thursday afternoon while their parents cleaned their white Mitsubishi sedan. The driver of the Hummer, who had just finished vacuuming his vehicle and pulled forward, was not speeding when the toddler was hit.

“He didn’t do anything wrong. He just didn’t see the small child that had wandered away. This is an absolute unfortunate accident,” said Police Chief Bruce Ure in Friday’s online edition of the Victoria Advocate.

An Oklahoma man has been accused of spraying hot water on his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son, giving him 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Hmmm, we think we know of an appropriate punishment…

Ottawa County Sheriff Terry Durborow says 24-year-old John Cellner of Wyandotte was arrested on a child abuse complaint.

Durborow says the child suffered second- and third-degree burns over half of his body.

Durborow says the burns occurred June 27 but that no professional medical attention was sought until July 2.

Proof that even gifted kids do dumb things.

A 10-year-old boy attending an academic enrichment camp at Hagerstown Community College was injured when he stuck a paper clip into a live electrical socket, The Herald-Mail in Hagerstown reported.

State police say the student at the College for Kids program was flown to Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. yesterday with burned hands.

Perhaps this 15-year-old girl’s parents will think twice before letting her date a 19-year-old in the first place.

Police were on the hunt for a 15-year-old girl dragged kicking and screaming from her northeast Minneapolis back yard Thursday by a former boyfriend who had just cold-cocked her father, leaving him hospitalized.

Police were looking for Tony Montez McGee, 19, the subject of a restraining order taken out on behalf of the girl, Alison Leigh Traefald.

“I am afraid of Tony. He threatens to kill me, my family or that he will burn down my house if he doesn’t get his way,” Traefald wrote in a court document requesting a restraining order. The order was issued against McGee.

Police have ended their search for the 5-month-old fetus that was supposedly buried by a Texas teen.

The teenager told police her mother demanded an abortion in June after discovering the pregnancy, Galena Park Police Chief Robert Pruett said. The girl allegedly told police her mother gave her drugs to end the pregnancy, then buried the fetus after it was born.

No criminal charges have been filed.

Pruett said cadaver dogs detected a scent while searching for the corpse in the backyard of the girl’s suburban Houston home. Dirt from that area will be examined by the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office, Pruett said.

A “white nationalist” woman in Canada has lost custody of her two children, after she drew a swastika on her 7-year-old daughter’s arm and sent her off to school. Lest you think that might be a bit harsh action to take, remember this is the same court system that overturned a dad’s grounding of his daughter.

The Winnipeg mother told the CBC she regrets redrawing the Nazi symbol after a teacher scrubbed it off. She is fighting the child welfare system to regain custody of her daughter, 7, and son, 2, who were removed from her home four months ago.

“It was one of the stupidest things I’ve done in my life but it’s no reason to take my kids,” the unidentified woman told CBC News. She is currently allowed to see her kids for two hours a week.

Child and Family Services workers were alerted after the second swastika incident at school, the CBC reported. When they arrived at the family home they found neo-Nazi symbols and flags, and proceeded to seize the kids.

Thank you, Mr. Scum of the Earth, for speeding up the process to lock your ass up for a long, long time.

A 23-year-old drugstore worker accused of keeping a young girl as a sex slave in the Daly City home he shared with his father and stepmother pleaded no contest Wednesday to 14 felonies.

John France Gonzales, who had faced than 140 felony counts ranging from lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 to sodomy, entered his pleas in a Redwood City courtroom to a reduced number of counts that included statutory rape, domestic violence and criminal threat charges.

Gonzales disputes that he kept the girl imprisoned and contends they had a consensual relationship, said his attorney, Paul De Meester.

We’ve seen graffiti in some unexpected spots before, but this is ridiculous.

Two taggers spray painted a 6-year-old boy’s face and body after he spotted them scrawling gang signs on a wall, officials said today.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. James Hellmold said the boy suffered burns to his eyes in the June 25 attack and was sprayed over his arms and other parts of his body. He suffered no permanent damage and was doing well, Hellmold said.

“This definitely shocks the consciousness and is out of the ordinary, even in the gang culture,” Hellmold said. “It makes no sense to the normal human being.”

As if it isn’t bad enough to be driving around with your 2-year-old not in a car seat, one brainiac then even let her kid stick her head out of the sunroof.

Deborah Devino is charged with reckless endangerment and operating a motor vehicle with a child unrestrained.

Police say a witness saw Devino get gas at a station on Rubber Avenue and drive away with the toddler standing in the car. The witness wrote down Devino’s license plate number and called police.

Police say Devino told them she allows her daughter to stand and put her head out of the sunroof because she likes to look at the sky.

Normally we wouldn’t want janky old tires piled next to our apartment building, but there’s one mom today that’s glad they were there.

An Ohio toddler who fell 30 feet from a window is recovering thanks to a stack of tires that softened his fall.

Twenty-month-old Jaelin Lewis bounced through the screen of an open apartment window in Columbus while playing on a bed with his mother Wednesday. He hit four old tires on the ground before tumbling onto a concrete patio.

Neighbor William Zander tried to catch the boy and says it was the type of scene that makes people believe in angels and miracles.

Or, you know, fortunate circumstance.

A teenager in Evanston, Illinois is being accused of causing the death of an 11-month-old infant.

James R. Jackson, 17, of the 2000 block of Dodge Avenue in Evanston, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of Clarashea Hebron, who was found injured in Jackson’s home before dying at a hospital, Evanston police Cmdr. Tom Guenther said Wednedsay.

Clarashea, of the 0 block of East 59th Street in Chicago, died at Children’s Memorial Hospital at 7:21 p.m. Monday, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said.

An autopsy Tuesday revealed the baby died of multiple injuries resulting from child abuse, the medical examiner’s office said. Her death was ruled a homicide.

A quick acting mom in South Salt Lake rescued her daughter and nephew from the home of her neighbor, who has been accused of kidnapping the children.

Earlier that day, neighbor David Bell had been at her house for the family’s Fourth of July party. “He kind of just came over and just kind of wanted to hang out. We didn’t have a problem with that. He seemed pretty nice,” the mother said.

Court documents say in the early morning hours, as the children slept, Bell took the woman’s 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old nephew. The woman says her 4-year-old daughter saw it happen and, thinking it was a bad dream, began to cry. That alerted her mother.

“I noticed my 2-year-old missing, so I searched the whole house. I guess by instinct, I just went directly over to the neighbor’s house and found the children and him and his partner in the bedroom,” the mother said.

A current outbreak of the measles has spread to 15 states, making it the largest in the last 10 years. We can expect to see this again in the future, as more and more parents seem to be eschewing the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine.

“What concerns me is the trend of more and more people not vaccinating their children because of fears that vaccines cause autism — although no studies have proven this to be true,” Dr. Joseph Rahimian, an infectious disease specialist at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan, told FOXNews.com in May.

Last month British health officials said measles had become an epidemic in that country for the first time since the mid-1990s due to parents not getting their children vaccinated.

“With the whole debate about vaccines — and now parents due to their personal beliefs not vaccinating their children — what we are seeing now is that we are going to have these epidemic outbreaks throughout the country,” said Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing editor of health at FOXNews.com.

Robert Nelson, art critic with the magazine The Age, defends the use of naked pictures of his 6-year-old daughter in Art Monthly magazine.

But, as revealed by Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt in his blog this morning, Nelson has previously written of the specific sexuality of such pictures, arguing that “the sensuality of children is integral to parental fondness.

”In the essay — which features on the website of Nelson’s wife Polixeni Papapetrou, who took the pictures of Olympia — Nelson says some photographs taken of Olympia by his wife in 2000 when she was just two years old were taken “at the instigation” of their daughter: “‘Mummy, come and photo me,’ she would exhort.”

The “taboo” of such images is described as “the fear of the child’s latent sexuality and its potential for exciting inappropriate and sinful desire.”

A woman and her two children were found dead in their Marianna, Pennsylvania home, and now the police are looking for the woman’s husband.

The bodies of 22-year-old Ashley Guarino, her 2-year-old daughter and 11-month-old son were found by relatives at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. Washington County Coroner Tim Warco said they were suffocated but gave no details.

State police issued a bulletin for the woman’s husband, Orlando Maurice Guarino, 38. He was not charged with any crime, but police said they wanted to question him.

Orlando and Ashley Guarino had separated recently, and she had obtained an order of protection against him last month in Washington County court, authorities said.
