    Daycare Workers Charged After Sprinkling Melatonin In Children’s Food, Reports Say

    Four individuals, including the owner and three workers of a New Hampshire daycare, have been charged with endangering the welfare of children after adding melatonin to their food. Each individual is facing

    “10 counts of endangering the welfare of a child,”

    per the New York Post. 

    Authorities discovered that the daycare was secretly adding melatonin to children’s food without parental consent. Melatonin is a safe sleep aid for short-term use, as stated by the Mayo Clinic. 

    The spokesperson for the Manchester Police Department, Heather Hamel,

    “This is an over-the-counter drug that can be given as a sleep aid, but for it to be given to children without the knowledge or consent of the parents, it’s very concerning.” 

    After receiving reports of

    “unsafe practices”

    at a daycare in Nov. 2023, authorities conducted a thorough investigation, resulting in arrests. Fortunately, none of the children needed medical assistance.

The photo showed her appearing to stomp on her 10-month-old baby’s head. She was charged with child cruelty without causing serious harm. The incident was reported by a friend who received the image, per the New York Post. 

    Per Law & Crime, officials said in the affidavit of probable cause,

  • Dad Who Allegedly Drugged 12-Year-Old Girls’ Smoothies During Daughter’s Sleepover Attempts Suicide, Reports Say

    Dad Who Allegedly Drugged 12-Year-Old Girls’ Smoothies During Daughter’s Sleepover Attempts Suicide, Reports Say

    In March, Michael Meyden, the Oregon father accused of giving drug-laced mango smoothies to three girls during his daughter’s sleepover, tried to take his own life, per the New York Post. This has raised concerns among the families of the alleged victims, who now fear that he poses an even greater threat. One close relative of a 12-year-old victim, whose identity is being safeguarded by authorities, expressed their fear, saying,

    “We’re terrified.”

    Clackamas County Senior Deputy District Attorney Bryan Brock stated in court documents that 57-year-old Meyden was hospitalized in March after taking an overdose of the sedative lorazepam. This suicide attempt worried the families of the victims, who viewed Meyden’s actions as a danger to the girls’ safety. They have requested the district attorney’s office to seek court approval for GPS monitoring of Meyden, who currently resides in Washington state.

    Jeff Turnoy, the defense attorney, opposed the implementation of GPS monitoring on Meyden. He argued that he is maintaining stable relationships with his former wife and estranged children. He is also reportedly seeking counseling. Following the incident in Aug. 2023, Meyden’s wife filed for divorce and now has custody of their children. Meyden is currently facing several felony charges related to the incident. 

    How the shocking incident unfolded

    According to a report from The Post, Meyden’s 12-year-old daughter had three friends over for a sleepover. Meyden allegedly served mango smoothies to the girls, causing two of them to fall into an in-depth sleep. The third girl became alarmed and sent urgent messages to her parents, desperately seeking aid. Distressed by the situation, the families of the girls hurried to Meyden’s house in the middle of the night to retrieve them. 

    Upon investigation, officials discovered that the smoothies were laced with benzodiazepine, a substance that slows down the nervous system. Officials stated that Meyden was found responsible for the drugs detected in the girls’ bloodstream. The motive behind Meyden’s actions remains unknown.

    Man Killed Girlfriend and Disposed Her Body After She Discovered His Secret Marriage

    A woman, Briana Winston, from Georgia was murdered and torched by her boyfriend, 23-year-old Michale Edwards. The Incident occurred back in March after confronting him about his secret marriage. The boyfriend, along with his wife, Brieanna Phillips-Edwards, brother, Keilan Wright, and mother, Ebony Anderson, are facing charges in connection to her disappearance, according to Fox News. 

    Authorities believe that Winston was killed by Edwards, her child’s father, after a verbal disagreement about his alleged cheating. Edwards then put her body in a suitcase. He later drove to Tennessee using his wife’s vehicle, and scorched the body with the help of a friend, officials said. 

    According to investigators, Edwards’ friend revealed that they disposed of the woman’s remains in two different locations. Edwards was apprehended for aggravated stalking. Upon learning he was a murder suspect while in jail, he sought aid from his relatives to hide evidence. 

    Ashanti Marbury, the Lieutenant said,

    “It turned into a family affair… He definitely looped everyone into this crime.”

    According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Phillips-Edwards was caught asking his wife to burn shoes and gloves used in destroying his girlfriend’s body. Edwards enlisted his mother and brother to help burn the evidence, resulting in conspiracy charges for all. On April 1, Winston was reported missing after her family discovered that she stopped going to work on March 17. They also discovered her empty apartment, which smelled strongly of bleach.

    On April 26, the Clayton County Police Department released a statement declaring Winston as deceased, stating that she was a victim of a crime.

  • Mother Sues American Airlines After Her Teen Son Died On A Flight, Says ‘I Want Answers’

    Mother Sues American Airlines After Her Teen Son Died On A Flight, Says ‘I Want Answers’

    A mother is taking legal action against American Airlines after her 14-year-old son passed away during a flight. The lawsuit alleges that the flight crew was slow to assist and that the defibrillator was either inoperable or malfunctioning. Reports noted that Kevin Greenidge lost consciousness while headed back to New York from Honduras with his family in 2022, according to Business Insider. 

    The plane was redirected to Cancún, and Greenidge was transported to a hospital where he was declared deceased. Initially filed in New York in 2023, the lawsuit was later refiled in Texas due to American Airlines’ request to move the case to its home state. 

    Melissa Arzu, the teen’s mother said,

    “After Kevin died, I never heard from American Airlines again.”

    The mother continued,

    “It made me feel hopeless.. I want answers from American Airlines.”

    According to the lawsuit, the flight staff lacked training on the defibrillator onboard. The machine failed to administer a shock but repeatedly advised CPR. Arzu’s lawyer, Hannah Crowe, stated that the equipment disappeared after Kevin’s death. The lawsuit seeks approximately $150,000 in damages.

  • Woman Who Spiked Husband’s Coffee With Bleach On Multiple Occasions Dodged Jail Time

    Woman Who Spiked Husband’s Coffee With Bleach On Multiple Occasions Dodged Jail Time

    A woman in Arizona, 40-year-old Melody Felicano Johnson, confessed to poisoning her Air Force husband, Roby Johnson, by adding bleach to his coffee. However, she managed to avoid jail time and was instead sentenced to probation and mandatory mental health treatment. She is also prohibited from contacting her husband without their lawyers, per Fox News. Reports say that the incidents occurred back in 2023 on July 11 and 13. 

    According to court documents, Roby Johnson suspected that his wife was attempting to murder him for financial gain. Initially facing serious charges, she chose to accept a plea deal. Court records indicate that the couple, who have a child together, were in the process of divorcing when the poisoning incidents occurred.

    In March 2023, while living in Germany, Roby noticed a strange taste in his coffee. After weeks of drinking it, he used pool testing strips and discovered high levels of chlorine in the coffee. He suspected his wife tampered with it and waited until returning to Tucson, Arizona, to report the incident to authorities.

    After their return to the U.S. in late June, Roby suspected his wife of tampering with his coffee. He set up a camera and allegedly captured footage of Melody pouring bleach into his drink. Despite initial police hesitation, additional video evidence eventually led to Melody’s arrest.
