The Florida Missing baby has been found in a bit of a bizarre scene. As I last wrote the babysitter had admitted to writing a letter and demanding basically the state do something, when they state didn’t she did.
Apparently She carved or bought a cedar chest just big enough for Shannon to fit in and slid right under the bed. No one would’ve been wiser to a baby being under the bed, but it was discovered that a tiny infant was in fact in it and still very much alive. The only thing missing was a bottle.
No clue where the …read more

A stroller ran out in front of a train this past week when it got away from the mother, thankfully the baby inside survived. This whole incident was actually caught on tape at the train station, by the way it was the stations camera not someone filming the horrible incident.

Australia’s Herald Sun said the train ploughed …read more

DailyMail quotes Karen as stating:
‘I knew that I was dying,’ she said. ‘I confess that at one stage I gave up. …read more
