This kid is lucky to be alive. Take this opportunity to tell your children about the danger of getting close to low hanging power lines, folks!

A 7-year-old boy was recovering Monday after he touched a live wire while playing outside Sunday.

Neighbors said the boy, Robert Johnston, was walking with his mother, another woman and a friend through a wooded area near his home when he somehow touched a power line. Power officials said the line sent 19,900 volts of electricity through his body.

“I don’t think any of us really slept last night because we really didn’t know if this child was going to survive or not,” neighbor Sara Smith said.

The boy was in stable condition at Shriner’s Hospital in Boston.

CONCORD, N.H. — A judge has ordered a man to lay an unusual family heirloom to rest: a mummified baby has been passed down for generations.

Authorities seized the mummy last year when the man’s niece mentioned it to staff at a day care center.

State tests showed the baby had died of natural causes, but they didn’t establish a family relationship. Now, the state won’t release the remains to the Charles Peavey family without proof of kinship, and Peavey says he can’t afford DNA testing.
