Bizarre: Girl, 3, punished for wetting bed, dies

Published

ALASKA: In a horrific incident in Alaska, a little girl died of hypothermia after her mother and boyfriend locked her in a freezing bedroom for wetting the bed.

Two sisters, aged 1 and 3, suffered hypothermia, when they were locked inside the room and a window was left open to air the room out, while temperatures outside were minus 30 degrees in America's nothernmost community, reports Daily Mail.

The girls were trapped inside the room for an entire night in freezing temperature. The beddroom door's latch was broken as well. Hence, even if someone tried, they could not open the door from inside.

The mother and her boyfriend have been indicted on charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, said the paper. Additionally, the man also faces second-degree murder and assault charges.

The boyfriend had been drinking on the night of the incident and two empty bottles were recovered from the house by the authorities.

He forgot to close the window in the children's bedroom in his drunken state before he went to sleep.

When he went to check on the kids the next morning, he found the 3-year-old motionless and she wasn't breathing. Both the children had suffered from hypothermia, hospital sources revealed.

 


Graduates sell ad space on their FACES to pay debts

BRITAIN: Two graduates from Oxford University have come up with a novel idea to pay off their debts. Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, both 22 years old, sell ad space on their faces and have already earned more than 25,000 pounds ever since they set up their business, Buy My Face, in October 2011, rpoerts Daily Mail.

The duo are having the time of their lives as their clients send them skydiving, skiing and on evenings to the opera. And they get paid for just donning the war paint of their client's choice.

Business is booming and the fresh graduates are planning to expand their business and go international in a couple of months.

The two business partners have recieved offers from other students in the UK, Europe and the US who are eager to join the bandwagon.

The pair came up with this idea since it did not require any investment initially. They sold ad space for as low as 1 pound a day to their family and friends when they launched their business. As the idea took off and became popular, their rates also went up. Now, they charge their clients £400 a day.

 

Girl, 3, swallows 37 magnets

BRITAIN: A three-year-old girl survived after swallowing 37 powerful magnets which tore up her insides.

The toddler suffered three holes in the stomach and intestine, reports Daily Mail.

The girl swallowed the magnets and fell sick. The parents could not figure out why their daughter was poorly. Once the girl was taken to the hospital, the doctors did an x-ray and they were shocked to see that the magnets had formed a circle inside her stomach.

She was immediately operated upon and 37 high-powered and rare Buckyball magnets were removed from her tummy. The little girl probably mistook the magnets for the small silver balls that her mother often uses to decorate cupcakes.

However, her nervous look drew the attention of a US customs inspector, reported New York Daily News.

Once the passenger stripped down, the drug stashed in her intestinal tract started falling down. The substance tested positive for heroin. A pregnancy test was also conducted and it was negative.

She 'delivered' about 25 pellets of heroin in total in a special commode that Customs officials call the 'Drug loo'.
