Nanny caught on camera abusing infant twins

Posted February 22nd, 2008 by minortopics | via www.nbc17.com

Nanny who came highly recommended is seen tossing 7 month old twins around the house by their limbs…

See video here

The police decided not to press charges, apparently they didn’t see anything abusive about the video. Minor Topics has no explanation as to why the police are trying to protect a woman who abused two infants, but we don’t like it. No, sir. Not one bit.

CARY, N.C. - A Cary family has fired their nanny after a hidden camera caught her treating their two infant twins roughly.

Mike and Lindsay Addison say they bought the camera online because they had a funny feeling about the way the babysitter was treating their seven-month old twins, Gavin and Bryce.

The camera arrived a couple weeks ago, and they had it up and working for just three hours before Lindsay Addison had had enough.

4 burning children rescued from van

Posted January 18th, 2008 by minortopics | via news14.com

What a scary situation.

Just another reason to reconsider leaving children unattended in a car. There is so much than can happen, besides this freak accident, it could be an abduction or a child getting out and running in front of a car.

“I couldn’t get over there fast enough,” said Michael Wright. He lives next door to the convenience store on West Craighead Road when someone told him the car was on fire with kids, ages three-months to five-years old, inside.

“When I opened the door, that’s when I found out how really intense the flames were. And the kids just were engulfed. I was trying. I had my foot trying to pull the seat belt they were strapped in. I was trying to do anything because it was just really intense,” said Wright.

In the video (see cited link), you can see the mother and Wright were struggling to get the kids out of the burning car. However, it wasn’t until the store owner came out with an extinguisher they were able to cool the car down enough to get the kids out.

6 year old saves his little sister from burning house

Posted January 15th, 2008 by minortopics

Nice to have some inspiring news for once. Even though the house and their belongings were lost, a brave and responsible 6 year old boy is a hero to his family as he alerted his father and saved his toddler sister from his house that was a ablaze.

Good job, Jonathan James. You rock!

UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Fire officials in Union County are crediting a 6-year-old boy with saving his 2-year-old sister’s life by getting her out of their burning mobile home safely. “When she was in the house, I picked her up and walked out with her,” said Jonathan James.

The boy’s father, Charlie James, said he was cleaning in another room when his sons ran in to tell him the home was on fire. “As soon as I opened the door, smoked started rolling in. I ran and Jonathan grabbed my daughter and the other two kids and they went running out.”

A 12 year old, North Carolina child, was attacked by 5 feral dogs while she played basketball in her driveway. Her brother, the hero, was successful in fighting the dogs off but not before they took a few hefty chunks out of his little sister…she is now recovering.

Sanford — A 12-year-old Harnett County girl was recovering at home Wednesday after being attacked by a pack of dogs outside her home.

Melissa Rollins was playing basketball with her 13-year-old brother, Kevin, last Thursday outside their home on Rosser Pittman Road when five dogs – three adults and two pups – emerged from a nearby field. One of the larger dogs lunged at Melissa and began dragging her to a nearby woods line.

Toddler held at gun point

Posted December 2nd, 2007 by minortopics | via www.myfoxwghp.com

Police think these robbers may have known their victims.

I hope this toddler sees a therapist. This will probably leave a life-long scar if he knows that somebody was threatening to kill him.

REIDSVILLE, N.C. (WGHP) – A three-year-old was held at gunpoint during a home invasion by four armed men wearing ski masks. The attack happened Thursday morning in a home off Lincoln Street in Reidsville.

Howard Scales lives in the house with his three-year-old son and Shenika Flippen.
