2 year old girl left at Chuck E. Cheese

Posted January 8th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.chron.com

A 2 year old is left at a Chuck E Cheese and the family didn’t notice for TWO DAYS!!

Yep. TWO DAYS!!! Before they even noticed. TWO friggin’ days people.

And, get this — they say it’s all a big misunderstanding…

FORT WORTH — No criminal charges will be sought against family members of a 2-year-old girl who was left at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Police picked up the child who called herself Mimi on Saturday night after people at the restaurant realized that no adult was with her, said Lt. Dan Draper. The family of the girl did not report her missing until seeing her picture in news media reports two days later, authorities said.

Glue boy gets freed from his bed

Posted January 8th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.guardian.co.uk

Apparently this UK boy “don’t need no education”. Given that his drastic measures included gluing himself to his bed, I’d argue that he really does need an education. At 10 years old, he’s obviously not the sharpest pencil in the box.

A 10-year-old Mexican boy was so determined not to return to school after the Christmas holiday that he glued his hand to his bed.

Sandra Palacios spent nearly two hours on Monday morning trying to free her son Diego’s hand with water, oil and nail polish remover before calling the authorities in the northern city of Monterrey, said police chief Jorge Camacho.

12 year old boy snags a shark

Posted January 3rd, 2008 by minortopics | via www.wptv.com

Whoa!

A 12 year old Connecticut boy reels in a shark using his previous catch of the day. Not just any shark either. A 551 lb. shark!

Boat Captain Tony Rizzo says the Bull Shark weighed in at 551 pounds, and appears to have set a record. “I got home and one of the fellows called me from the taxidermy and said this is the biggest shark, bull shark they have ever seen.”

Aidan’s mother says her son got all of [sic] attention after making the big catch. “There were probably 50 to 75 people watching this and there were all sorts of teenage girls asking questions about it, so he was really happy about that.”

Deceased siblings stuck in infants abdomen

Posted December 12th, 2007 by minortopics | via news.yahoo.com

Topping our rash of triplet news comes this freaky story…

A one year old girl is found to have her undeveloped siblings stuck in her stomach and finally has the body parts removed.

The girl had initially been diagnosed with stomach tumors, however doctors later discovered her abdominal discomfort was the result of two deceased siblings connected to her digestive tract.

One of the bodies was complete except for limbs. The second had only a head with hairs and part of its digestive system

Poor little diddle.

A toddler got whisked away, down an airport conveyor belt on an adventure that lead her down 4 miles of tunnels and possibly through an Xray machine.

A two-year-old girl who wandered off in an airport suffered cuts and bruises after she was whisked into a baggage conveyor belt system.

The toddler walked through an empty check-in desk at Manchester Airport and hopped on to the luggage machine.

She was then swept down the four-mile long tunnel of the conveyor system and trapped before being rescued by an engineer.

A source said her clothes had been torn but she only needed hospital treatment for cuts and bruises. It was not known if she had passed through an X-ray machine but she was discovered in the first of three tiers of the baggage system.

Hello, Mr. President? Hold my calls!

Posted December 10th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.com

A teenager from Iceland dials into a super, secret, deep, deep undercover hotline right into President Bush’s office and gets in super, secret, deep, deep undercover trouble.

I thought it was funny that the teen was being cheered by fellow Icelanders because ‘Bush is not popular there’. Why? What does Bush have to do with Iceland at all??? What significant impact does any president have on Iceland??

When Vífill Atlason, a 16-year-old high school student from Iceland, decided to call the White House, he could not imagine the kind of publicity it would bring.

Introducing himself as Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, the actual president of Iceland, Atlason found President George W. Bush’s allegedly secret telephone number and phoned, requesting a private meeting with him.

“I just wanted to talk to him, have a chat, invite him to Iceland and see what he’d say,” Vífill told ABC News.

Switched at birth, now switched back

Posted December 4th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.com

Could you imagine?…bringing home the wrong baby and then getting your real baby 9 months later? What a mind-screw.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Two baby girls mistakenly swapped at birth went home to their biological parents in time for their first birthdays, reports said Tuesday.

DNA tests earlier this year revealed that the two sets of parents had taken the wrong baby home from a clinic southeast of Prague nearly a year ago.

Sperm donor sued for child support

Posted December 3rd, 2007 by minortopics | via www.nypost.com

A lesbian couple obtained donor sperm from a colleague one them worked for and now, almost 18 years later, the woman has decided to sue for child support.

What a big, friggin’ JERK!

“He was assured that he would have no responsibility on his part and of course 18 years has elapsed where there hasn’t been responsibility,” she said.

“He did not anticipate this would happen now, when the child is almost an adult, that the mother would come forward for child support.”

She said her client had requested a DNA test, “because we have no concrete evidence he is the father.”

Nassau County Family Court judge Ellen Greenberg ruled Nov. 16 against a paternity test, saying it would have a traumatic effect on the child.

Gimme a break! They think a DNA test would be traumatic for the “child”?? He’s 18!!!!

Word to the wise: Do not donate your sperm unless you want to be a father!

Preschooler makes up tale of abduction

Posted November 22nd, 2007 by minortopics | via www.latimes.com

Okay, for a 4 year old to even wrap her mind around such a lie, makes you question her mental health and what could be going on in her home. I can understand have a vivid imagination, but to think of something so sinister, it’s just bizarre.

Youngster invented a detailed story about a spiky-haired man, based on a TV show, because she was angry with her mother, police report.

When authorities were told a 4-year-old girl had reported that a man tried to kidnap her from a playground, they dispatched eight squad cars, a helicopter and a dozen deputies to track down the perpetrator.

For four hours Tuesday, they canvassed the girl’s Midway City neighborhood, an unincorporated area in the middle of Orange County. Officers closed the playground where the girl said the man had tried to snatch her and investigators searched the neighborhood for the person the child had described — a spiky-haired man with a dragon tattoo.

Disney’s Pirate ride now serving as a mausoleum

Posted November 16th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.com

What?? According to this article, people spreading ashes all over Disneyland happens all the time??

Crazy-ass people!

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Disneyland officials will likely never know whether the woman who sprinkled some sort of powder onto the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride was trying to send a loved one straight to Davy Jones’ locker.

Disney officials shut the ride down for about 45 minutes Friday after they saw the woman sprinkle something into the ride’s water. But they said they couldn’t determine what it was because it dissolved so quickly.

Blogger and longtime Disneyland watcher Al Lutz said he received several tips indicating it was human ashes.

Giving a whole new meaning to 4-eyes…

Surprise birthday performance for 16 yr. old

Posted November 8th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.guardian.co.uk

For a 16 year old boy, his birthday may have proven to be better than he could have ever imagined. Although a mix-up provided him with a stipper instead of the gorilla his mother thought she hired, I’m sure there were no complaints from the hormonal teens.

A schoolboy was given an unexpected surprise for his 16th birthday when a stripper turned up in his drama class.

The stripper - dressed as a policewoman - had been booked by the boy’s mother, who had apparently asked for a “gorilla” to mark her son’s big day.

The woman even asked the teenager’s teacher at Nottingham’s Arnold Hill School and Technology College to film the event so the family could see his reaction.

On arriving halfway through the lesson, the stripper walked the unnamed boy around the class on all fours like a dog.

6 year old boy found in halloween display near death

Posted October 25th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.local6.com

After you read about this story, you’ll certainly be child-proofing your decorations way beyond toddler years:

A 6-year-old Central Florida boy nearly died when he became tangled in a large spider web Halloween decoration hanging at his home.

The Hampton family built a fake spider web out of nylon and draped it inside their Tampa home for Halloween this year.

Dawn Hampton said her son, Cade, became entangled in the web and was unable to breathe.
She said she will never forget finding her son in the web.

“His little face, I saw it around his neck and his face is completely reddish purple,” mother Dawn Hampton said.
