How can an 11-month-old baby even reach the kitchen counter?

An 11-month-old baby in a burn unit in Lincoln after being pulling a vegetable steamer full of boiling water onto himself.

The accident happened just after noon yesterday. Omaha police say officers were called to the house and found the boy and his father. The father told them the baby had pulled a vegetable steamer full of hot water from a kitchen counter down on top of himself, causing burns to his upper body.

An 8th grader in Omaha, Nebraska was shot in the middle of a school soccer game. Well that’s certainly worth of a red card!

About 100 kids were in and around the middle school about 3:30 p.m. when witnesses saw the boy — a soccer player on the sidelines — bleeding from his face. He had been shot in the mouth and was taken to Creighton University Medical Center; police identified him as 14-year-old Taylor Borgeson.

Tierney said the teen’s injuries suggest he was struck by a discharged round that was falling.

Children were kept in the school as police questioned them. Dozens of parents picked up their children after the lockdown was lifted.

“It’s kind of a hectic scene,” Tierney said.

Congratulations, Lisa Schuchard, of Omaha, Nebraska, you’re our Douche of the Day™! Not only do you seem to wake and bake on a regular basis while taking care of your kid, but you also taught your daughter how to smoke pot. The little detail that clinched your award? Your child is only 4 years old!

Police say a 4-year-old girl demonstrated to them how to smoke marijuana from a joint, a pipe and a bong — and learned the techniques from her mother.

The mother, 25-year-old Lisa Schuchard, is charged with child abuse and could lose her daughter after being accused of teaching and encouraging the girl to smoke.

Her attorney, Douglas County Assistant Public Defender Doug Johnson, said he would not comment because he hadn’t talked to Schuchard in depth.

Authorities say Child Protective Services received a complaint that the 4-year-old and a 2-year-old son of Schuchard were dirty and living in a filthy home that had drug paraphernalia around.

Once again, give a big round of applause to Lisa Schuchard, Minor Topics’ Douche of the Day™!

This story makes me physically ill.
