    Police did not confirm whether Baker is the father of the girl.

  • 8 Injured and 1 Dead After Roller Coaster Partially Derails At Sweden Amusement Park, Police Say

    8 Injured and 1 Dead After Roller Coaster Partially Derails At Sweden Amusement Park, Police Say

    One person has been killed and several others were reported injured after a roller coaster at an amusement park in Sweden derailed, NY Post reported.

    The terrifying accident occurred at Sweden’s oldest amusement park, Gröna Lund. According to the regional government, nine people, including three children, were rushed to hospital. One victim later died in the hospital from his injuries.

    Witnesses said the roller coaster tilted off of its tracks leaving riders flying out of their seats. 

    “Then the car stops and people fly out — fall out of the car,”

    witness Ziba Assadi told the local Swedish broadcaster TV4.

    “The front of the train partly derailed and stopped on the track at a height of between 6 and 8 meters [between 20 and 25 feet],”

    park chief executive Jan Eriksson told the outlet.

    “A total of 14 people were onboard, of which one person has died and several are injured.”

    Authorities have shut down the park pending a criminal probe into the catastrophe. They are still determining whether involuntary manslaughter or other charges will be filed. The amusement park reportedly opened in 1883, and the roller coaster opened up in 1988 and was renovated in 2000, the amusement park said.

    “This should not be allowed to happen,”

    Gröna Lund spokeswoman Annika Troselius said in a statement.

    “Safety is the most important thing for us. And we would never open an attraction if we were not confident that it was safe, so this is something we need to investigate thoroughly.”

  • Man Finally Sentenced To Life For The 2021 Fatal Stabbing Of His Father, Prosecutors Say Suspect Stabbed Father With The Same Knife He Gifted Son With

    Man Finally Sentenced To Life For The 2021 Fatal Stabbing Of His Father, Prosecutors Say Suspect Stabbed Father With The Same Knife He Gifted Son With

    A California man is facing a life sentence for fatally stabbing his father with a knife he gifted him with, Radar reported. 

    James Shade, 32, was found guilty of first-degree murder for the fatal stabbing of his father, whose identity has not been disclosed. He was sentenced to 26 years to life in the California Department of Corrections. 

    Roseville Police Department said they responded to a call on March 14, 2021, about a stab victim. The unidentified victim was reportedly found lifeless on his neighbor’s front porch. According to the outlet, Shade was caught on surveillance footage fleeing the crime scene. Investigators later found documents in the victim’s home that revealed that the suspect was his son. 

    Police later apprehended Shade at his home in Paradise. Shade admitted to driving from his residence in Paradise to his father’s house in Roseville because he planned on serving his father with a restraining order, Radar reported. According to prosecutors, Shade arrived at his father’s home while armed with a knife, viciously stabbing him over 20 times with the same knife the victim gave to him weeks before the murder. 

    He claimed to be acting in self-defense, according to the outlet. 

    “Lack of remorse has been particularly disturbing [and] he showed no signs of remorse immediately after killing his father, during his testimony at trial and in statements he made after the jury rendered its verdict. His anger toward his father did not in any way justify his decision to brutally end another human’s life,”

    Deputy Director Attorney Anna Duffy said in a statement.

  • Mother Charged With Child Neglect After Her Baby Loses 5 Fingers In Pitbull Puppy Attack

    Mother Charged With Child Neglect After Her Baby Loses 5 Fingers In Pitbull Puppy Attack

    A young Florida mother has been arrested for child neglect after her baby lost five fingers in a pitbull puppy attack, NY Post reported. 

    The mother, 21-year-old Chloe Wisniewski, was arrested Friday in connection to the Feb. 14 attack on her baby who she had left alone with a 3-month-old puppy, according to NBC. Wisniewski told police that she left the baby in the bassinet to go take a

    “quick shower.”

    She recalled hearing screaming and found the pitbull

    “chewing”

    on the infant’s hand, reports reveal. The pup had just been brought into the home 24 hours earlier, according to the Miami Herald. 

    The baby was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where doctors

    “amputated three fingers from her left hand and partially amputated two fingers from her right,”

    according to the affidavit per The Post. 

    Police say Wisniewski tested positive for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. 

    The mom has since posted a $7,500 bond and was granted supervised visitation, reports note. The dog was taken to Charlotte County Animal Control, according to NBC 2. Brian Jones, division manager for Charlotte County Animal Control told the outlet,

    “There are no laws that require an aggressive dog to be euthanized after biting someone,”

    reports state. 

    The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office found probable cause that Wisniewski

    “did, by culpable negligence, fail to provide the baby with the care and supervision and services necessary to maintain physical health,”

    causing

    “permanent disfigurement”

    to the child, according to the paper.

  • Husband Accused of Drugging His Wife and Allowing At Least 51 Men To Rape Her While He Filmed It, Occurred Over a Decade-long

    Husband Accused of Drugging His Wife and Allowing At Least 51 Men To Rape Her While He Filmed It, Occurred Over a Decade-long

    A French man was busted for allegedly drugging his wife and inviting nearly 51 men to rape her while she was unconscious for over a 10-year period, NY Post reported. Police say he recorded each assault on his hidden camera. 

    The husband has been identified as Dominique P, reports reveal. According to a court filing obtained by local French outlet La Monde, Dominique had been mixing his wife’s dinner with an anti-anxiety drug called Lorazepam since 2011. The drug, unbeknownst to her, would cause her extreme fatigue and absent-mindedness. 

    In 2020, authorities discovered disturbing videos of the helpless woman after Dominique was busted trying to snap a video of another woman in a changing room with the same camera. Police say the videos were saved to a USB under a file named

    “ABUSES.”

    A total of 51 men, between the ages of 26 and 73, were caught on video assaulting the victim. They have all been charged with rape, reports reveal. It is unclear what charges the husband is facing for his alleged role.

    The couple had been married for 50 years and share three adult children. Dominique told police that his wife is a

    “saint”

    and

    “the love of his life.” 

    According to prosecutors, the woman broke down in tears when she was told the news. She was given medical tests that revealed she was suffering from four different sexually transmitted diseases. She has since filed for divorce.

  • NYC Firefighter Charged For Stealing Credit Card From Dead Man and Attempting To Use It To Buy Airpods, Groceries and Gas

    NYC Firefighter Charged For Stealing Credit Card From Dead Man and Attempting To Use It To Buy Airpods, Groceries and Gas

    An FDNY firefighter has been indicted for stealing credit cards from a dead patient and going on a shopping spree with them, NY Post reported. 

    The suspect, 33-year-old Sylus McKenzie, of the Bronx, allegedly attempted to purchase AirPods at Target and several items at a Food Bazaar supermarket and Sunoco gas station, according to authorities.

    The disturbing events occurred on Jan. 11, 2021, when McKenzie responded to a 911 call about an unresponsive man in Manhattan. The resident was pronounced dead at the scene, the DA said in a press release. McKenzie took the opportunity to steal the dead man’s credit cards while other first responders were sealing the home. 

    Prosecutors allege that McKenzie went the next morning, between 9 and 11 a.m., going to different stores attempting to use the victim’s cards. Trying to spend a total amount of $1,123.21, authorities said.

    McKenzie was indicted last week on several charges including

    “grand larceny, attempted identity theft, criminal impersonation, and official misconduct,”

    reports reveal. He had been working for the FDNY for four years prior to his arrest. 

    “The defendant, a firefighter in the New York City Fire Department, allegedly stole an American Express card and a Mastercard while responding to a 911 call at the Manhattan home of a patient who died,’’

    Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said in the statement.

    “A day later, the defendant allegedly went to various stores in the Bronx and made purchases using the stolen cards… These alleged actions are reprehensible, even more so because he is a member of the city’s Bravest and violated the public trust.”

  • Jewish Teacher Resigned After Receiving Antisemitic Harassment From 12-Year-Old Student

    Jewish Teacher Resigned After Receiving Antisemitic Harassment From 12-Year-Old Student

    A Jewish middle school teacher in Massachusetts decided to resign from his position after encountering antisemitic harassment from his 12-year-old student, NY Post reported. 

    Morrison Robblee, 25, was a sixth-grade social studies teacher at the Nessacus Regional Middle School in Dalton until his resignation. According to Robblee, the harassment began in April after he showed up to school in a yarmulke, a skull cap worn by Orthodox Jewish men. The student began making hateful comments towards Robblee and was sent to detention. However, that did not stop the child from returning with a

    “sketch of Hitler standing over a dead person labeled ‘Jew,’ surrounded by swastikas and canisters labeled ‘gas,’”

    Robblee told Insider. 

    Robblee believes the student’s rage towards him is stemming from a prior incident that occurred at the beginning of the year where the child allegedly made homophobic comments and was removed from the class. Robblee claims to have dealt with weeks of harassment from the student. He told Insider that the harassment even spilled over into the hallways and that the boy continued to make jokes about the Holocaust, including gas chambers. He also revealed that the student also emailed him insults about his teaching.

    The student now faces a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment. 

    Robblee says he doesn’t feel like he was receiving the same support from school administrators, however. Robblee was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into him making a face at the child in the hallway. Robblee admitted to Insider that he stuck his tongue out at the boy in a second of frustration after the child cursed at him. 

    “I am not bothered by the ignorant comments of a child,”

    Robblee reportedly wrote in a statement to the Central Berkshire Regional School District to be read at a meeting to end the boy’s suspension.

    “I am bothered that, without proper intervention, this hate will continue to fester.”
