4-year-old left in car outside strip club

Published

FLORIDA: A 4-year-old was found inside a car all alone while the child's parents were enjoying themselves inside a strip club.

The mother of the child told the police that her husband wanted to look at the girls, so they left their child inside the car in the strip club's parking lot, reports Daily Mail.

Witnesses told the daily that the parents, both 25, were seen ordering drinks and tipping entertainers inside the club.

The child's dad apparently even sponsored his own private lap dance, deputies told Tampa Bay Online.

While the wife said they planned to spend only about 20 minutes inside the joint, the police claim the couple were inside for an hour already when the officials went inside to look for them.

Someone tipped off the police after some people heard reports of the child asking for the weherabout of the parents.

 

Chef cooks his own body parts for guests 

A 22-year-old Japanese - an asexual - who had voluntarily had his genitals removed organised a bizarre party, where he cooked his frozen organs for guests in Tokyo.

According to a Daily Mail report, he even charged  £160 per person to eat his severed genitalia, which is garnished with mushrooms and parsley.

He also tweeted his act. He wrote on Twitter: ‘I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen (£800). I’m Japanese.

About 70 people attended the event in the Suginami ward of Tokyo. While five people tucked into his 'dish'.

 

Mom gouges son's eyes out

MEXICO CITY: Police in a Mexico City suburb arrested a mother and several relatives Thursday for allegedly gouging out the eyes of her 5-year-old son in what authorities said appeared to have been a drug-fueled ritual.

The boy was taken to a hospital in Nezahualcoyotl, a part of Mexico state bordering Mexico City, in serious condition early Thursday and later transferred by helicopter to a more specialised facility in the capital, officials said.

Nezahualcoyotl spokesman Fernando Chavez said a passing police car was flagged down on the street by someone who reported the incident and when officers entered the home they found the mother in shock with the boy in her arms.

"Once the woman allowed local police to check the boy, they were astonished to see the boy had no eyeballs," the government said in a statement.

Mexico state prosecutor Isaac Acevedo told local media that a total of eight people had been detained and that investigators believed the mother herself gouged the boy's eyes out with her fingers. The boy's father was apparently not in the home at the time.

The crime appeared to have been part of a ritual, but was not apparently related to the Santa Muerte or Saint Death cult, some of whose followers were recently charged with the sacrificial killings of two 10-year-old boys and a 55-year-old woman in northern Sonora state, he said.

The boy's aunt and uncle were also apparently at the house when the adults began using some unspecified drug, the spokesman said. Chavez said one witness told police she had passed out under the influence of drugs and when she regained consciousness, the boy's eyes were gone.

The adults have not yet been charged in the case, but are being held pending investigation. Two children and a 17-year-old were also found at the residence.

In March, authorities in Sonora state arrested eight people for allegedly sacrificing the two boys and adult woman as offerings to Saint Death, an idol usually depicted as a robed skeleton. Followers of the cult include criminals and drug traffickers.

While statues of Saint Death are common in many poor Mexican neighborhoods, Chavez said no altar or statue of the figure was found in the Nezahualcoyotl home.

Mexico's worst case of ritual sacrifice came with the notorious "narco-satanicos" killings of the 1980s. Fifteen bodies, many of them with signs of ritual sacrifice, were unearthed at a ranch outside the border city of Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas. (AP)

 

Driver in horrific hit-and-run on trial

BEIJING: State media in China say a trial has begun for a man accused of driving a minivan that ran over a toddler on a busy street. The case sparked outrage after the little girl was ignored as she lay dying on the road.

The official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday that Hu Jun was charged with the wrongful death of 2-year-old Wang Yue in the southern city of Foshan

Video footage showed the van striking the toddler and then resuming driving, rolling its back right wheel over her.

Over the next seven minutes, 18 people walked or cycled by the child. Another van struck her before a scrap picker scooped her up as the girl's mother came looking for her.

The child died a week later, but the incident caused soul searching among Chinese over declining morality. (AP)

 

Man survives being run over by train

CANADA: A man who had one drink too many passed out on the railway tracks. He had a miraculous escape when a train ran over him in Canada's British Columbia. He was, indeed, fortunate to come out unharmed over the incident.

The train conductor had spotted him from a distance and applied the emergency brakes but the train could not be stopped in time, reports Orange.co.uk.

The drunk man remained in a comatose state and did not wake up even after hearing the rumbling  noise of the train engine.

Almost all the train's carriages had passed over the man by the time the train had stopped. When the man woke up, he simply grabbed his can of alcohol and rumbled on his way, without realising or learning about his great escape.
