    6-Month-Old Baby Abandoned and Locked Inside Closed Day Care, 3 Individuals Charged

    According to Pennsylvania officials, three individuals have been charged concerning an incident involving a 6-month-old baby who was left alone inside a day care building, per the Kansas City Star

    The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office announced on Tuesday, March 26, that three staff members of New Arisens Childcare Solutions have been accused of endangering the child’s welfare and conspiring to commit the act. On February 1, Camron Banks arrived at his daughter’s day care center thirty minutes before its closing time, only to discover that the building was locked and without any lights, as reported by McClatchy News.

    “Nobody even knew where she was at,”

    Banks told KYW-TV. According to WTXF, the police attempted to contact the owner and manager of New Arisens, but they were unsuccessful in completely opening the steel gate that blocked the front door. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small stated in a media briefing that firefighters were called to cut through the gate. 

    The police discovered the baby sitting in her car seat, covered with a blanket, in a dark corner, as reported by WTXF. Jessy Flores, the baby’s mother, shared with WCAU that the owner of the day care apologized but did not offer an explanation for the incident.

    “Nobody knew when she last ate,”

    Flores told the station.

    “Nobody knew when she was changed, nobody knew who she was with,”

    she said. According to WCAU, Flores reported that her daughter was dehydrated but okay.

  • Father Arrested For Allegedly Strangling Daughter and Hiring Homeless Man To Set Her Body On Fire In Southeastern Brazil

    Father Arrested For Allegedly Strangling Daughter and Hiring Homeless Man To Set Her Body On Fire In Southeastern Brazil

    Surveillance footage captured a man pushing a cart containing his 18-year-old daughter’s lifeless body. Wellington da Silva, 39, was apprehended on Wednesday after confessing to the murder of Raysa da Silva at his home in São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The tragic event occurred on Sunday, according to the São Paulo Civil Police per the Daily Mail

    The surveillance camera outside the apartment captured Wellington struggling with the cart before pushing it into the elevator. The motive behind the crime, as revealed by State Department of Homicide and Personal Protection chief Ivalda Aleixo, stemmed from an argument between the father and daughter regarding their separation months ago. The disagreement escalated when Raysa expressed her support for her mother, leading Wellington to allegedly strangle her.

    Disturbingly, Wellington admitted to falling asleep with Raysa’s lifeless body in the apartment before disposing of it on Monday evening. It is alleged that he approached a homeless man and offered him

    “[$2] to set a fire,”

    purchasing fuel from a nearby gas station.

    The authorities have arrested Wellington da Silva, and an investigation into this horrific crime is underway. He faces charges of feminicide, body destruction, and concealment. Authorities initiated a search for a homeless man and have been reviewing security camera footage in the area to support Wellington da Silva’s statements.

    Raysa da Silva’s mother filed a missing person report at the local police station on Monday. The next morning, pedestrians noticed a burnt body under a damaged section of road pavement and immediately alerted the police.

  • Illinois Parole Board Members Step Down Following Release Of Man Who Fatally Stabbed 11-Year-Old Boy Less Than 24 Hours Later

    Illinois Parole Board Members Step Down Following Release Of Man Who Fatally Stabbed 11-Year-Old Boy Less Than 24 Hours Later

    The chair of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board and a board member have resigned following public backlash over the release of a man who went on to fatally stab his ex-girlfriend’s young son, reports the NY Post

    Donald Shelter, the board chair, and LeAnn Miller, a board member, stepped down on Monday after 11-year-old Jayden Perkins was murdered on March 13. The incident occurred less than 24 hours after the man was granted parole. Crosetti Brand, 37, allegedly attacked Jayden and his mother, Laterria Smith, at their home in Edgewater. 

    Smith survived the attack but suffered a stab wound to her neck. Miller had reportedly approved Brand’s parole the day before the incident, which has caused widespread outrage because Smith had previously sought an order of protection against Brand. A hearing was scheduled for March 13, but the attack occurred before it took place. 

    The Illinois Department of Corrections and the Prisoner Review Board claim they were unaware of the hearing, though emails suggest otherwise.

    “It is clear that evidence in this case was not given the careful consideration that victims of domestic violence deserve, and I am committed to ensuring additional safeguards and training are in place to prevent tragedies like this from happening again,”

    Gov. JB Pritzker said.

    Brand was paroled in October but was sent back to prison in February after threatening a woman via text. He now faces a murder charge and other violations in connection with Jayden’s death.

    Authorities have reported that a Florida woman, identified as Kim Keeling, is facing charges of kidnapping and interference with custody of a child, per Fox News

    According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, the incident unfolded on Friday around 11:20 a.m. when Keeling allegedly took her neighbor’s two-year-old child and locked herself and the child inside her apartment, refusing to release the child to the rightful parent. The child’s mother, desperate to reach her daughter, broke a window in an attempt to gain access. 

    Law enforcement was called to the scene, and despite their demands, Keeling refused to comply. Concerned for the child’s safety, a deputy climbed through the broken window and found Keeling in her living room, holding the child and a rolling pin. Keeling was arrested for the kidnapping and is currently being held without bond at the Okaloosa County Jail. 

    Fortunately, the child was unharmed during the incident, as confirmed by the sheriff’s office. Keeling told deputies that she had taken the toddler from its mother to protect them from falling down the outdoor stairs.

  • Man Plans To File Lawsuit Against Florida Deputies Who Allegedly Shot At Him While He Was Detained After They Mistook Falling Acorn For ‘Shots Fired’

    Man Plans To File Lawsuit Against Florida Deputies Who Allegedly Shot At Him While He Was Detained After They Mistook Falling Acorn For ‘Shots Fired’

    It looks like Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputies had a case of the

    “Chicken Little”

    syndrome. A man is suing the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s office after he claims two of their deputies wrongfully shot at him after mistaking an acorn falling and hitting their patrol vehicle for a gunshot, as reported by Fox News

    This led both the deputy and his partner to unleash a barrage of gunfire on the patrol car, which had the individual in the backseat. Video footage captures the moment when one of the deputies frantically shouts

    “shots fired,”

    before pulling out his firearm and firing multiple rounds at the vehicle. 

    The deputy involved has been identified as Jesse Hernandez, a former Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputy, who can be heard in the video saying,

    “I’m hit… I’m hit! I’m hit.”

    Deputy Beth Roberts also discharged his weapon.

    Even after being searched, detained, and placed in handcuffs just moments before, Marquis Jackson was still shot at multiple times. Fortunately, he was not injured. The arrest of Jackson was prompted by a domestic call made by his girlfriend, who accused him of stealing her car, threatening her, and potentially possessing a gun silencer, although its whereabouts were uncertain. 

    Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating,

    “We let the public down. I will admit — this was a very tragic and traumatic incident for Mr. Jackson. To that end — I can only apologize.”

    An independent review and investigation confirmed that no long guns were used to shoot at Mr. Jackson. Deputies used long guns with bean bag rounds to help him exit the vehicle, and claimed he was not being shot at.
