Bad news for Casey Anthony — a grand jury indicted her today in the murder of her daughter, Caylee, along with other charges.

A grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, State Attorney Lawson Lamar said. The mother is being held without bond.

If convicted of first-degree murder she could face the death penalty or life in prison. Prosecutors said no decision has been made on whether the death penalty will be sought.

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said investigators’ satisfaction that the indictment had been issued was tempered by what it concludes about the girl’s fate.

“Speaking as a father, a day doesn’t pass where I wish the evidence that we have gathered didn’t add up to the painfully obvious,” he said. “Sadly, I cannot change the facts surrounding the investigation.”

Last month a teen was shot for egging a car, and now another teen has been shot for toilet papering a house. We’re officially coining the new phrase “prank rage”.

A toilet paper prank has led to the shooting of a 14-year-old by a southwestern Michigan man who believed strangers were trying to break into his home.

The Grand Rapids Press and WZZM-TV report the victim and four other teens were pulling the prank about 1 a.m. Sunday at a home in Solon Township, about 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.

Kent County sheriff’s Lt. Jerry Miedema said the teens were intent on draping the house in toilet paper, while the homeowner’s “intent was to come out shooting.”

An Indiana boy’s parents are appealing a judge’s ruling that the boy — who suffers from a traumatic brain injury — is not allowed to enroll in both morning and afternoon kindergarten classes. This goes against the boy’s neuropsychologist, who thinks the extra school time would benefit the child.

Michael’s parents didn’t expect to win but said they’re disappointed.

“We’re saddened by it,” said Damian Berns, Michael’s father. “With all the support we had from the community and other attorneys and family and friends, we were optimistic.”

Last fall, a 150-pound cabinet fell on Michael’s head and pinned him to the concrete floor of his grandparents’ garage. He now has speech, memory and behavioral problems.

A baby in Portland, Oregon is on the mend after contracting a rare case of botulism.

Botulism affects about 100 babies in the U.S. each year by paralyzing their muscles and respiratory systems. It is not usually fatal.

The infant’s mother, Jennifer Perez, says she noticed her daughter, Aracelis Mora, had gone limp a day after they passed a construction site while on a stroll.

A Sheriff’s Sargent in Carnation, Washington is calling a child abuse case “the worst [he’s] ever seen”. Rebecca Long and Jon Pomeroy are being charged with criminal mistreatment for allegedly starving their 14-year-old daughter for years. The girl was found weighing only 50 pounds — the same weight as when she was 9.

Long and Pomeroy were arrested Friday after a two-month investigation that began when a neighbor called Child Protective Services to report screaming from the couple’s Carnation home. They were booked into the King County Jail and were being held on warrants issued Monday, with bail set at $20,000.

A deputy noted that the girl looked pale, emaciated and half her age.

The girl told police that her stepmother disciplined her for behavioral problems by restricting her water intake, giving her half a Dixie cup of water each day. Long allegedly monitored the girl’s showers and wouldn’t let her brush her teeth so she couldn’t sneak drinks. She fed her a diet mostly of toast, court documents say.

A toddler in Chicago was killed after a TV fell on her, causing fatal head injuries.

Delores Martinez of the 2700 block of West Melrose Street was pronounced dead at 2:06 p.m. Saturday in Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago. The incident was ruled an accident, according to the medical examiner’s office.

A New York man is pleading not guilty for assaulting his stepson with a belt while his wife was locked in the basement.

Alon M. Holliday’s bail was set at $50,000 Monday in Nassau County District Court. It could not immediately be determined Monday evening whether he had posted bail.

Holliday’s lawyer says his client denies the charges, which also include unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police say the 34-year-old attacked the boy for not washing his stepfather’s laundry. Police say Holliday locked his wife in the basement of their West Hempstead home when she tried to intervene.

Yikes, we were planning a trip to the dunes, we didn’t realize it could be dangerous.

An 11-year-old boy was killed after a sand dune on a Santa Cruz beach collapsed on him and two friends Saturday, according to a state parks official.

The boy, whose name was not released, was pulled out from under the sand after about 15 minutes, said state parks lifeguard supervisor Chip Bockman. A 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old boy who were pulled out both survived the collapse, which occurred at about 4:23 p.m. at Natural Bridges State Beach at the north end of Santa Cruz, Bockman said.

The defense lawyers for Casey Anthony — mother of missing girl Caylee Anthony — have been granted the ability to physically review key evidence.

Ninth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland disagreed Friday with an argument by Orange County prosecutors that the evidence did not pertain to the child neglect charges that Casey Anthony faces in the disappearance of her toddler daughter.

Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA air samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.

Defense attorney Jose Baez had sought the car and other items available so he can conduct his own tests.

Authorities have removed three children — an infant, a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old — from a house in Carlisle, Pennsylvania that they say was unfit for humans.

The children are in the care of Cumberland County Children and Youth while their mother, Shawnta M. Moody, 25, faces criminal charges after being accused of risking her children’s health in the filthy Carlisle home, authorities said.

As flies crawl over the surface of stained walls and dirt-crusted carpets in the now-empty house at 150 South Bedford Street, evidence of the children’s foul surroundings was piled in a pick-up truck in front of the home this morning.

A carjacker in Ormond Beach, Florida threatened a woman by dangling her baby out the car window while stealing the vehicle.

The carjacking took place as Alyssa Gould and her 10-month old baby were in her SUV at an intersection around 11:20 a.m. Friday morning.

Gould said she and her baby were ambushed. She told authorities the carjacker opened the driver’s side door and pointed a gun at her. The suspect then unbuckled her infant girl and dangled the baby by her feet. The carjacker eventually released the baby to the mother, unharmed, before driving away in the SUV.

The American Academy of Pediatrics wants to make sure they are. The AAP has doubled their previously recommended minimum of daily vitamin D intake for babies through teens to 400 IUs.

“We know that 400 international units a day is safe and it will prevent rickets,” Frank R. Greer, MD, chairman of the AAP’s committee on nutrition, tells WebMD.

The new guidelines are especially important for breastfed babies, since breast milk isn’t rich in vitamin D, notes Greer, who recommends supplements to ensure adequate vitamin D intake.

Some vitamin D experts say the AAP’s new vitamin D guidelines don’t go far enough.

“I was hoping they’d be more aggressive,” says Bruce Hollis, PhD, professor of pediatrics, biochemistry, and molecular biology and director of pediatric nutritional services at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, S.C.
