Baby Abandoned in Strom Drain
The discovery followed a tip from 18-year-old Sinead Harrison. Harrison told police she gave birth to the baby in a gas station restroom and then she put the baby in a dumpster near Wesley Chapel Road. Police searched the dumpster but did not find the baby.
Harrison also gave police her boyfriend's address. Police questioned the 19-year-old man, identified as Landis Moore, and he allegedly confessed that his girlfriend had given birth to their son in the house and then he had put the baby in the storm drain. Officials found the baby a short time later in a storm drain and took it to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Officials said the baby boy had been in the drain for "several hours" but he was initially expected to survive.
He died Thursday evening."They located the baby inside that storm drain … I don't know how the condition was but I know that she did give birth early Thursday morning and it was placed in that storm drain and had been there for a few hours. But it was alive and it was transported," said Officer Jason Gagnon with the DeKalb County Police Department.
Moore claims the baby was stillborn.

Troy Dale West Jr., of Poulan, Georgia, is facing charges including misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct after allegedly beating Army reservist Tashawnea Hill, 35, after the two had words at the entrance of the Morrow, Georgia, restaurant the evening of September 9.
Hill, an African-American, told police that West, 47, yelled racial epithets at her as the attack took place.
"He did punch me with a closed fist repeated times. My head is still hurting today. I have knots on my head," Hill told CNN Wednesday night, adding she also was kicked.
Hill told police the incident started when she and her daughter were entering the restaurant at the same time West and his wife were exiting.
"The man slung open the door pretty hard and fast and I had to push my daughter out of the way," Hill told CNN affiliate WSB-TV. "I turned to the man and I just said, 'Excuse me sir, you need to watch yourself; you almost hit my daughter in the face.' And from there it just went downhill."

Mother denies son medical attention
Police said Anderson told them her son had been sick for three weeks and, despite being treated with antibiotics, Atkins was not fully recovering. The antibiotics were prescribed by a doctor at Southwest Medical Center, but police said Anderson never told them about her son’s condition. Atkins underwent Urethal Valve surgery when he was a boy, and his mother had been treating him with medication and catheterization several times a day. Police said when the boy was 12, Anderson refused to take him back to the doctor, thinking the condition would change on its own. She also told police she discontinued Atkins' medication because he didn't like it and she was tired of “fighting her son.”
Detectives interviewed doctors and a nurse who had treated Atkins. All of them said they had warned Anderson about continued treatment for her son.
4-year-old overdoses
Capt. William Tyler, of the Beloit Police Department, said police were notified by a local hospital Saturday, when the child was brought in unconscious and preliminary tests showed cocaine in his blood. An aunt of the child contacted WISC-TV and said it was a pain killer, not cocaine, but police said, either way, something happened that shouldn't have. "Whether that's child abuse or child neglect or something else, we're not quite sure yet," Tyler said. "But we know that clearly there was a breakdown somewhere in which this child got a hold of something he shouldn't have, and all indications were it was the cocaine that caused this condition."

Mom charged in childs death
Police found the girl's body this week, stuffed inside a garbage bag in a public storage facility in Vienna Township, near Flint, said Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton. The bag was covered in mothballs "in an apparent attempt to mask odors from the dead body," Leyton's office said in a news release.
Shylea had not been seen in six weeks, but relatives did not report her missing until Tuesday, Leyton's office said. Because of her physical disabilities, Shylea had to use a feeding tube. She suffered from quadriplegia because of a "suffocation issue" in her crib at 3 weeks of age, Leyton said. Leyton said Shylea and other relatives had lived in "absolutely filthy" conditions. Relatives told CNN affiliate WJRT that they remember Shylea as a happy child who loved music and had an infectious smile.

5 year old returns home with a bag of poo
Jason says his son's teacher, Mrs. Graham, called last Friday and said her classroom was "stinky." She asked if the boy could have had an accident. Jason acknowledged the possibility, as his son had had a couple of accidents in the classroom in the past. He told Mrs. Graham there were extra clothes in his backpack.
After his wife found the bagged mess, Jason e-mailed school officials. Days later, he received a response apologizing for the delay in dealing with the issue. On Tuesday, he was still waiting for a chance to speak to school officials about the incident. The school's superintendent said the boy's teacher and the school principal are being questioned. School officials said they'll meet with Jason and his wife next week. In the meantime, Jason wants his son placed in a different teacher's classroom for the remainder of the school year.

Child takes own life after being bullied
Bermudez said bullies at school had called Jaheem “gay” and had taunted him about his accent. She said when he came home Thursday and she asked him about it, he denied it. She sent him to his room to calm down. That was the last time she saw him alive.
Channel 2 Action News reporter Pam Martin talked with some students at Dunaire Elementary who said they knew Jaheem. They confirmed the bullying. “That’s my baby’s life there because of this bullying situation they didn’t take care of,” said Bermudez.
Channel 2 Action News called the school for comment, but that call was not returned. DeKalb County Schools said they could not speak about any particular case.

Sunday School Teacher Arrested In Girls Murder
Melissa Huckaby, 28, was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail early Saturday and faces charges of kidnapping and murder in the death of Sandra in Tracy, California. Sandra was last seen March 27 in the Tracy mobile home park where she lived with her family -- the same mobile home park where Huckaby lives.
"There's been a lot of speculation on the news about what happened to my suitcase," she told the newspaper. "It's not my granddad's. It's mine, and someone took it." Police noted "inconsistencies" between comments Huckaby made to the newspaper and a previous statement she gave authorities, Sheneman said. It was one reason police asked her Friday to come to the station to be interviewed again. She drove there about 6 p.m. Friday, he said.
How Sandra died has not been made public. An autopsy was conducted earlier in the week, but CNN affiliate KRON-TV said results are not expected for weeks. Thiessen said Saturday any autopsy information as well as search warrants filed in the case remain under seal.

Police interviewed Theo Fleming, one of Finnegan's friends who took her to the hospital, according to his arrest report. He said Finnegan had been walking a dog in the neighborhood when she was shot in a drive-by. When that didn't check out, Fleming admitted to shooting Finnegan on accident inside a home at 5837 S. 94th East Place, the arrest report states.
Witnesses said Fleming had a black semi-automatic pistol in the front of his shorts and that he and Finnegan were in the living room when a shot was fired. As the group loaded the victim into Fleming's vehicle to take her to the hospital, witnesses said Fleming told them he shot her.
Police recovered one spent .22-caliber shell casing inside the home. A black .22-caliber pistol was also recovered from inside Finnegan's vehicle, which was driven to the hospital by a witness.
Fleming, a sophomore at Jenks High School, was booked into the Tulsa jail about 12:45 a.m. Sunday.

Shooting massacre in a Binghamton, New York
He went by the name "Vaughn," which is what co-workers called him, she said. "He was quiet -- not a violent person," said Guy, who now lives in Wellington, Colorado. "I can't believe he would do something like this.Police are still investigating motives but said the use of a car to block the back door of the building suggested premeditation. The shooter, who was carrying a satchel of ammunition, was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot to the head, Zikuski said.
In all, law enforcement removed 14 bodies from the building and 37 survivors, Zikuski said.

Vermont governor says he'd veto same-sex marriage bill
Sandy Cote-Whitacre, 63, and her spouse, Bobbi Cote-Whitacre, 62, said they have waited 42 years -- the time they have been partners -- for the vote. "We have been together for so long and this means so much to us," said Bobbi Cote-Whitacre, who expressed disappointment at the governor's announced intention to veto the same-sex marriage bill. The couple was joined in a civil union in Vermont in 2000, shortly after the state passed the nation's first civil-union law. Bobbi Cote-Whitacre's mother, then 89 years old, walked the couple down the aisle.
The House, which is expected to vote this week, would need to approve the bill by a two-thirds majority to override the governor's threatened veto. Meanwhile, the Cote-Whitacres and Vermont Freedom to Marry have launched a television advertising campaign to promote the bill. Whatever the outcome, Sandy Cote-Whitacre said she and her spouse are willing to be patient.
"We are going to keep at it even if we have to go down the aisle with walkers," she said.

High school football coach charged in player's death
"He was breathing," Webb said during the deposition, WLKY reported. "You know, he had a pulse. And we -- I automatically thought we might have had an exhaustion situation. He was sweating profusely."
Gilpin's body temperature reached 107 degrees and witnesses said Stinson had denied the student water on the hot August day, WLKY reported. Gilpin was rushed to an area hospital where he later died.
This is not the first time a player has died at football practice, if you search on the internet you will find many more cases.
