Registered Gun Owner Shot and Killed 7 Year Oil Girl at Soccer Practice

Little Emma Nowling just wanted to play soccer. But after practice on Thursday, her short life came to a tragic end, shot and killed by a family friend,  a man who legally bought a gun in September and had a concealed carry license.

Emma Nowling and her mother, Sharon Watson, were shot after the little girl’s soccer practice session at the Taylor Sportsplex in Michigan. Watson is listed in serious but stable condition, while Nowling died Thursday night after suffering head injuries,MLive.com reports. Authorities describe the suspect, Timothy Nelson Obeshaw, as a family friend who had a concealed carry permit and a legally-purchased gun.

Police say a 9 mm pistol recovered from the shooting scene was registered to Obeshaw.

The man had recently been experiencing paranoia, thought someone was out to get him and believed someone was trying to control him through mind control, Taylor police Chief Mary Sclabassi told MLive.

“He thought someone was out to get him,” the chief told reporters at a Friday press conference. “Unfortunately, it appears as a result of his (instability) we now have a little girl who simply just wanted to go yesterday to play soccer, and never went home.”

Police said the girl’s mother is being treated and was informed her daughter has died.

Obeshaw had attended Nowling’s practice sessions in the past and on Thursday had a pleasant interaction with the child and her mother, but after the practice, had a confrontation at about 8 p.m. Witnesses saw him shoot into the vehicle then turn the gun on himself.

Obeshaw had no known criminal history. He had registered the gun under his own name in September.

“Of course, this is a tragic situation and the thought that maybe if the right person had the right information at the right time could have prevented this, of course it’s very frustrating,” Sclabassi said. “Clearly this was an individual who needed help. Clearly this is an individual who should not have been able to purchase a handgun just this past September.”

3 Year Old Toddler Shoots and Kills Self with Gun

On Sunday, another responsible gun owner in Rock Hill South Carolina, just lost a toddler in their life to the gun they love.

Savion Barrow, 3, was taken by EMS ambulance from his home on Amelia Avenue to Piedmont Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead by hospital staff shortly after his arrival, York County Coroner Sabrina Gast said.

Capt. Mark Bollinger, spokesman for the Rock Hill Police Department, said Savion somehow got his hands on the gun and shot himself.

Sunday’s shooting was the second by a toddler in Rock Hill in just a month.

Last month, Rock Hill police charged the great-aunt of a 2-year-old boy with unlawful carrying of a gun after the child was able to get the gun while in the woman’s car,accidentally shooting the child’s grandmother. The grandmother survived.

8-Year-Old Boy Charged With Murdering 1-Year-Old Girl

The 8-year-old was apparently the oldest child in the house and left there the supervised the 1-year-old and three other children. He attacked and killed the child because the she wouldn’t stop crying. And where was the mother you ask? She was out clubbing for the night!

An 8-year-old Birmingham boy is charged with murder in the beating death of a toddler girl left in his care, the youngest person in recent memory charged with murder in Jefferson County.

The girl’s mother is charged with manslaughter after police say she left her young daughter in the care of a group of children while she partied at a nightclub.

“This is one  of the most heartbreaking investigations that I have seen in over 30 years of my law enforcement career,” said Birmingham police Chief A.C. Roper.

“There are just too many deep rooted issues in this horrific crime. It’s extremely troubling from so many different angles and there are no law enforcement answers to prevent it,” Roper said. “We’ve been concerned about the kids and the future effect on their lives. The bottom line is an innocent young baby lost her life and that should be a wake-up call for our community.”

Kelci Devine Lewis, who turned 1 in May, was found unresponsive in her crib at 10:45 a.m. Oct. 12. Police were called to the home on Second Avenue South, and Kelci was taken to Children’s of Alabama where she was pronounced dead at 11:07 a.m.

Authorities have said there were visible injuries to the girl. She died from blunt force trauma to the head, and internal injuries, Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards has said.

Youngest Victim of Police Shooting – A 6 Year Old Killed, Shot 5 Times by Police

As of Thursday morning, at least 834 people had been shot and killed by American police officers so far this year, the Washington Post reports.

Six-year-old Jeremy David Mardis is the youngest among them.

The autistic first-grader was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by his father, Chris Few, in Marksville, La., when city marshals attempted to serve the man a warrant about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Few fled, eventually turning down a dead-end street.

Police say Few then attempted to back his vehicle out, striking officers’ cruisers, prompting a hail of gunfire that left him hospitalized.

An official briefed on the shooting said that Few was unarmed when two officers opened fire, shooting between 13 and 18 bullets combined. That official said it is unclear if the shooting was captured on camera.

“Days like these I wish I was a plumber,” said L. J. Mayeux, the Avoyelles Parish coroner. “These last two days have been bad, and it’s getting worse.”

Five of the officers’ bullets pierced Jeremy’s body, Mayeux said, with the two fatal shots hitting him in the head and chest.

Another Infant Rescued from Overheated Car – Video

They’re still leaving babies in hot cars? Still?

This is the dramatic moment firemen rescued a toddler from a sweltering car after his mom left him to run an errand.

Cellphone footage shows firefighters popping the baking vehicle’s lock and lifting out the crying little boy as sweat drips from his forehead. They then strip off his clothes before rushing him into an ambulance for treatment.

The incident occurred Monday afternoon outside the Fallas Shopping Center in San Jose, California, as temperatures soared to 92 degrees.

Fire crews were called after passersby spotted the infant alone. It’s believed he had been inside the vehicle for between 5 and 10 minutes.

His mom, who has not been named, was questioned by cops on her return to the car. She claimed she and a second child had “just run into a store for a minute.” The boy was rushed to a local hospital for immediate treatment.

But San Jose Police Department said she could now face child neglect charges, reports KTVU-TV.

Another Baby Left in Overheated Car, Dies

I’m beginning to think that this is the easiest excuse for these subhuman mongrels who call themselves “parents.” They obviously want to get rid of the child, so this is their new favorite method.

How can any normal human being “forget” a child in a car is way beyond my level of understanding.

A 10-month-old foster child died in Wichita, Kansas, after being left inside a hot car on a 95-degree day, police said Friday. Police spokesman Lt. Dan East said cops got a 911 call about a baby girl unconscious and not breathing inside a vehicle, and the child was pronounced dead minutes after paramedics arrived on the scene. Two men, ages 26 and 29, were questioned after the Thursday evening tragedy, but it was not clear whether anyone was charged. Two boys, ages 5 and 9, were taken from the home and put in protective custody.

More than 36 children die in overheated cars every year in the United States, research shows. After the Wichita tragedy, the group Kids and Cars renewed its call for new technology in cars that could prevent other deaths. “The fact is that our vehicles already remind us to buckle our seat belts, warn us if our gas tank is getting low, let us know if the keys are left in the ignition, or if a door is open,” it said in a statement. “With all of these reminder systems already in place, including a warning if our headlights are left on, who has decided that it’s more important not to have a dead car battery than a dead baby?”

Michael Jackson’s Alleged Son – POSITIVE DNA Match … Or So They Say MJ’S

There’s a 99.9% chance a 31-year-old man is Michael Jackson’s illegitimate son … at least that’s the claim after an alleged DNA test turned up a match.

According to the test results — obtained by Alki David and his company, FilmOn.com — Brandon Howard is almost certainly Michael’s son.  David told TMZ Live he got MJ’s dental impression from a Beverly Hills doctor that he got at an auction.  The impression is 30 years old but David says its filled with DNA.

Brandon — who now goes by B Howard and looks and acts very much like Michael — was not present for the unveiling, but David says he had Howard’s DNA and it matched up.

David would not say which lab performed the DNA test, but says it showed a clear match.

Brandon’s mom — Miki Howard — is a famous gospel singer who Michael knew.   She went by the name “Billy” back in 1982.  Interestingly … a year later Michael released “Billie Jean,” which included the lyrics, “Billie Jean’s not my lover” and “The kid is not my son.”

For B Howard’s part — he’s distancing himself from the whole spectacle, insisting he had nothing to do with it.

Court Rules: Transgender 6 Year Old Could Use Girls Bathroom

A transgender 6-year-old child who was told she was no longer allowed to use the girls bathroom at her Colorado elementary school scored a major victory Sunday.

The Colorado Civil Rights Division weighed in on the side of first-grader Coy Mathis, who was told in December to stop using the girls restroom at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain.

“Schools should not discriminate against their students, and we are thrilled that Coy can return to school and put this behind her,” Coy’s mother, Kathryn Mathis, said in a statement. “All we ever wanted was for Coy’s school to treat her the same as other little girls. We are extremely happy that she now will be treated equally.”

The family recently moved to Denver, 80 miles from Fountain, so Coy will be attending a different school in the fall, FOX31 reported.

Coy was born a boy, but identified as a girl at a very young age and began to dress that way. After allowing Coy to use the girls bathroom until December, Eagleside ordered the child to use the boys restroom, a staff bathroom, or the nurse’s bathroom, according to 7News in Denver. Coy’s family responded by filing a civil rights complaint

Former NFL Star Michael Boley ‘Secretly’ Arrested for Abuse of his 5-year-old Son

Former New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley was arrested for child abuse in February just three days after he was cut from the team, it was revealed today.

Boley, 30, had been under investigation in Alabama stemming from a 2011 incident involving his then-5-year-old son.

The details of the case involving the ex-NFL star have been under wraps, but sources told the gossip site TMZ that the alleged abuse was physical and not sexual in nature.

The starting linebacker in Super Bowl XLVI was set to go before a grand jury in February, but he reached a plea agreement with the prosecution.

The 30-year-old father of six admitted to child abuse, and in exchange was ordered to enter a pre-trial diversion program. Upon completing the course, the charge would be dropped against Boley, who indicated that he intends to comply with these conditions.

As part of the plea deal, the football player was also required to turn himself in February 8 in Etowah County, Alabama. He was released without posting a bond later that day.

Boley, who was first drafted in 2005 by the Atlanta Falcons, ended his career with the Giants on February 5, just three days before his arrest. He is currently a free agent.

Sick Child Porn Video Goes Viral On Facebook

At least 20,000 Facebook users found a child porn video in their news feeds this week, with one copy of the clip possibly originating from Oak Cliff, authorities said.

The FBI says the video is at least 7 years old and has been spread around the Internet off and on for years. The viral video has been posted on social media sites before this week, but the latest resurfacing led to new local law enforcement investigations across the world, including in Dallas, according to authorities.

The clip of an older man sexually abusing a young girl received at least 4,000 Facebook likes. Federal authorities have been searching for the abuser’s identity for years.

“This is a global issue,” said Michelle Collins with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. “We’re getting inquiries from this all over the world.”

Sgt. Byron Fassett of the Dallas police child exploitation unit said they opened their investigation Wednesday morning when they received a call from Nevada. Someone in Las Vegas logged into Facebook and saw the video in the news feed. They reported it to Dallas police because the post’s location was listed as Oak Cliff, Texas, Fassett said.

The child exploitation unit found that the video was not documentation of recent abuse, but a “known video or image,” Fassett said, something police have seen before.

“It took the crisis out of the situation,” he said. “Our concern then was that people are trading child pornography. But we got calls overnight of more people seeing it on their news feeds.”

It seemed that each time a social media user commented on the clip, the video appeared in more places.

Authorities said they have received several complaints from social media users, asking what they can do to help.

“Don’t comment on it,” Fassett said. “That’s like adding gasoline to the fire.”

And don’t watch the video, Collins said. Instead, view the FBI’s Endangered Child Alert Program wanted list, where this particular video perpetrator’s description is listed.

Here We Go Again – Michael Jordan Paternity Suit

Taj. Claims Michael Jordon is his father

Well, here is another athlete for a paternity suit.  This time it is Michael Jordan.  This is common.  A woman has a date with a famous person, sleeps with that person and, low and behold, gets pregnant.  She then waits her customary nine months and then decides that she wants money.  So she sues for paternity.

There is only one small problem with this scenario.  The child in question is sixteen years old.  Sixteen is almost an adult and she decides now that she needs paternity.  She has the kid convinced that Michael is his father. He put out a video on YouTube stating that he is Michael Jordan’s son.  So, now Michael has to prove that he is not the father of this kid.  This would make a great episode of Jerry Springer.  She not only wants money from Michael, she wants the paternity verified by giving the child the Jordan last name.

There is something wrong here.  Just because someone is famous does not give every crackpot the right to go after them for some imagined slight in a past life.  Maybe Michael is the father.  Why wait sixteen years to go after him?  What happened? Did she run out of other prospects and decided that he was the next best thing?

The courts should stop making it possible for these women to come out of the woodworks and blame famous people for their mistakes.  If she was any type of woman, if she had any morals at all, she would not be going after someone just for money.  Get a job and support your child as you have done for the sixteen years you had him.  Don’t go after a famous figure for money.

Here’s a quarter.  Dial 1-800-JerrySPringer and get your fifteen minutes of fame that way.
