MT’s first question? What the heck is tombstoning??

Apparently, it’s when you jump into a body of water from a signifant height. So, jumping off a cliff or a bridge. (Why would anybody in their right mind to this?)

Apparently, it’s a fad. A fad of teens and young people who have very poor judgement.

MT thinks a fine punishment, aside from the injuries he’s received, is to pay for his rescue efforts through montetary obligations.

A 14-year-old boy is in hospital with suspected spinal injuries after he landed on rocks whilst tombstoning.

The teenager, who has not been named, was tombstoning - jumping into water from height - in the Fishers Nose area of the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. But he suffered suspected spinal injuries, a broken wrist and lacerations when he slipped and fell onto rocks.

He was rescued by inshore lifeboat and taken to hospital in the city.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the Coastguards have repeatedly warned thrill seekers about the dangers of tombstoning.

I will never understand why a mother would hurt her child, let alone, murder their little boy.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The young mother called police with a story out of any parent‘s nightmares. Amanda Reagan Smith says a knife-wielding carjacker forced her to drive to a secluded, wooded area in Greenville, S.C. Once there, he pushed her out, locked the car doors and pressed a pillow to the face of her 7-year-old son.

Now, more than a month after the Aug. 12 killing, the case remains unsolved. And the worry that once filled Greenville has sharpened into questions about his mother‘s account. The case has also revived vivid memories of another mother named Smith — Susan Smith — who told a similar tale.
