  • Mother Discovered Three Minor Children Unconscious After Babysitter Reportedly Taught Them How To Snort Pills

    Mother Discovered Three Minor Children Unconscious After Babysitter Reportedly Taught Them How To Snort Pills

    Sadly, three children were discovered unresponsive at a babysitter’s home after she reportedly taught them how to snort drugs, officials in Indiana said. On June 28, the children’s mother arrived to retrieve them from the woman’s home and discovered the babysitter sitting on her front porch while appearing to be

    “impaired,”

    according to The Kansas Star.

    When the unidentified mother went into the woman’s home, she called for her children; however, there was no response. She instantly ran to her children and discovered her three children unresponsive. Reports added that their ages were 8, 9, and 15. 

    Officers later arrived at the scene after the mother contacted officials. First responders began to help the children and luckily, the two younger children were revived at the home; despite them

    “stumbling and falling down.”

    The 15-year-old was taken to the hospital and later gained consciousness. Reports added that the teen was located near a powdery substance and shattered pill capsules. 

    The minors informed officials that the unnamed babysitter gave them pills and showed them how to snort the pills, investigators say. Officials said,

    “The children also told detectives that they each ingested about 3-4 pills each of the three different types of pills.” 

    Police searched the babysitter’s home after obtaining a search warrant where they discovered

    “prescription bottles for Klonopin, Adderall, and Lyrica, along with loose pills,”

    reports the news outlet. The babysitter stumbled on her words as she informed officials that she didn’t know what happened; however, she confessed that the minors might have gotten ahold of her drugs.

    The babysitter was charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury among other charges, officials say, reports the Kansas Star.

  • Social Media Influencer Mom Sentenced To 90 Days In Jail Almost Three Years After Accusing Latino Couple Of Trying To Kidnap Her Children

    Social Media Influencer Mom Sentenced To 90 Days In Jail Almost Three Years After Accusing Latino Couple Of Trying To Kidnap Her Children

    A social media influencer falsely accused a Latino couple of attempting to abduct her two children on an Instagram video that went viral. According to FOX, the woman was sentenced to 90 days behind bars for the act, prosecutors say. 

    31-year-old Kathleen ‘Katie’ Sorensen said the couple tried to kidnap her kids at a Michael’s arts and craft store parking lot in California back on Dec. 7, 2020. The woman went on to file a false police report. One week after she filed the police report, she posted on Instagram and spoke about the alleged kidnap. 

    Carla Rodriguez, District Attorney said,

    “Ms. Sorensen has been held accountable for her crime, and we believe the Judge handed down a fair sentence… Our hope is that this measure of accountability will help provide some closure to the couple that was falsely accused of having attempted to kidnap two young children.”

    Sorensen will be able to serve 60 days of her sentence in a work release program. The woman must also do 12 months of probation, and in that time, she would be banned from having a social media presence.

  • Woman Finally Sentenced After Pleading Guilty To Throwing Molotov CocktailInto Bank In 2021 Because She Was Waiting In Line ‘Too Long’

    Woman Finally Sentenced After Pleading Guilty To Throwing Molotov CocktailInto Bank In 2021 Because She Was Waiting In Line ‘Too Long’

    A woman from California has been sentenced to two years behind bars after throwing a Molotov cocktail into a California bank after growing angry because the wait was too long, according to the New York Post. 35-year-old Teranee Millet reportedly said

    “I’m going to blow this b-tch up” before committing the crime. 

    The US attorney’s office said that Millet was sentenced after she pleaded guilty back in March to unlawful possession of a firearm and destructive device. 

    According to the US attorney’s office statement, the woman was at a Bank of America in Southern California back in Sept. 2021 when she talked to a bank manager and demanded assistance from another bank teller

    “because she believed she had been waiting in [line] for too long.” 

    She was informed that the other bank tellers were unavailable, and she then screamed,

    “I’m going to blow this bitch up!” 

    The manager at the bank instantly contacted officials; however, minutes before authorities arrived, the woman had already thrown the Molotov cocktail into the establishment, which resulted in a fire. Reports say the middle of the floor was on fire. Luckily, a customer was able to put the fire out while the woman fled. As Millet left, she threatened another customer and tossed a glass bottle at their vehicle, damaging it. Luckily, no one suffered from any injuries. 

    Millet was arrested in Georgia two months following the incident after she was identified on the bank’s security camera. Before she was arrested, she led cops on a car chase as she drove a stolen U-Haul van. Reports added that the chase ended in a car crash and Millet suffered from injuries. She was later treated.

  • School Bus Driver Arrested and Charged After Being Accused Of Touching and Exposing Himself With Elementary School Students On Board

    School Bus Driver Arrested and Charged After Being Accused Of Touching and Exposing Himself With Elementary School Students On Board

    An ex-school bus driver from Gwinnett County was apprehended and charged after touching himself in a sexual way with students on board. According to WSB Cox Articles, the incident occurred several times. 63-year-old Steven Wilkins has been charged with

    “committing sex crimes on board the bus,”

    reports say. 

    According to an arrest warrant, he exposed himself on four different occasions at Suwanee Elementary School between Jan. 30 and Feb. 9. Officials say that there was at least one child still on the bus each time the 63-year-old exposed himself. Twice there were two children on the school bus. 

    Director of Media and Community Relations for Gwinnett County Schools, Bernard Watson said,

    “A good Samaritan noticed something told us and we were able to address the situation promptly.” 

    The former bus driver later resigned on Feb. 14 after he was yanked from his normal bus route. Authorities took him into custody on Feb. 27. Reports added that he was employed by the district for four years. 

    Watson continued,

    “All of our drivers have to pass a background check before they’re hired. This former driver did pass a background check.”

    Suwanee Elementary Principal, Dr. Mary B. Taylor, sent a letter to parents and school staffers acknowledging the parent who informed the school district, which in turn, caused them to start an investigation. 

    “I want to take this opportunity to thank the parent who reported her concerns. This allowed police to move quickly to investigate the situation. I encourage our students and community to continue coming to us when they have information or concerns about student safety,”

    the principal wrote.
