  • Parents Outraged After Texas Middle School Students Were Asked To Role-Play as ‘Seducing Hooker’ in ‘Team Building’ Classroom Game

    Parents Outraged After Texas Middle School Students Were Asked To Role-Play as ‘Seducing Hooker’ in ‘Team Building’ Classroom Game

    A Texas mom is outraged after her daughter was allegedly asked by her teacher to participate in a

    “team building”

    game that required her to act like a

    “seducing hooker,”

    NY Post reported. 

    Laura Maria Gruber said her daughter, who attended KIPP Poder academy a charter school in Texas, came home with the disturbing news.

    “I picked my daughter and her best friend up from school and my daughter said ‘We played this game at school, Mom, and you’re going to be upset’…When she told me about kids getting up in class and posing as hookers, I almost crashed the car,”

    Gruber told The Post. 

    The game,

    “Bear-Hooker-Hunter”

    is apparently an adult drinking game version of rock-paper-scissors and was reportedly played as a

    “team building”

    exercise. The seventh grade Social Emotional Learning class allegedly had the students stand in front of the classroom and pretend to be a hunter, pointing an imaginary gun, a scary bear with its paws up, or a

    “seducing hooker,”

    reports reveal. 

    Gruber said her daughter opted out of playing the game but other students were allegedly bribed with candy for them to join in, the daughter told her mom. Gruber, angered by the incident, pulled her daughter out of the school and demanded answers from administrators.

    “I wanted my child to go to this school for the diversity and trusted them. But I didn’t realize it would involve sexual diversity and kids being sexualized.” 

    School Principal Stephanie Lee admitted that the game was instructed but denied that it had anything to do with sexualizing children.

    “This game was not part of any KIPP curriculum, and it was not appropriate for students,”

    she wrote.

    “Any activities with actions or words like ‘hooker’ or ‘seduce’ should never have a place in our schools. While the intent was never to sexualize a child, I recognize that the impact may have caused students to feel uncomfortable or traumatized. That does not honor the respect we aim to teach our students at all times; in truth, it is degrading.”

    Man Arrested After Holding Woman Captive At Gunpoint and Locking Her Inside Trailer For 4 Years

    A man from Texas, Abraham Segura, 42, has been apprehended on kidnapping charges after reportedly kidnapping a woman and holding her against her will in a trailer with window bars for four years, reports the New York Post

    According to KTRK, court records show that the victim was saved after using a phone inside the locked trailer to call for aid while Segura was at work. The unidentified woman informed investigators that the man threatened to murder her and held her at gunpoint. Firefighters who helped rescue the woman had to utilize power tools to slice through bars and

    “sheets of plywood on the windows”

    reports The Post. 

    During the suspect’s first court appearance, the prosecutor showcased the allegations made against him. The prosecutor said,

    “The defendant had kept the complainant inside a trailer for approximately four years.” 

    The prosecutor went on to say that the exits in the trailer were blocked off. When officials made the rescue and gained access to the home, they allegedly found three firearms. The suspect interrupted during the court appearance alleging that the narrative the prospector is telling is one-sided. However, the hearing officer interrupted telling the suspect that it isn’t the right time to

    “mount his defense,”

    The Post reports. 

    The hearing officer said,

    “We’re not going to argue the facts of the case today because it’s not going to change my mind about probable cause.” 

    Segura’s bond has been set at $150,000. He is subjected to be placed on house arrest if he makes bond.

  • Man Files $1 Million Lawsuit Against 3 Women Who Allegedly Distributed Abortion Pills To His Ex-Wife

    Man Files $1 Million Lawsuit Against 3 Women Who Allegedly Distributed Abortion Pills To His Ex-Wife

    A pro-life ex-husband from Galveston, Texas is suing his ex-wife’s friends for allegedly helping her obtain abortion pills from across state lines, CNN reported. 

    This is the first case of its kind since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. According to the suit, Marcus Silva alleged that his former wife, whom he shares two daughters with, used illegally distributed abortion pills given to her by friends, which later resulted in the death of their unborn child. 

    In the civil suit, he claims the women used

    “Aid Access,”

    a site that ships the pills from overseas, and had them shipped to Houston where they lived. The suit accuses the women of

    “aiding and abetting”

    to receive certain contraception, and he also blamed them

    “for [his unborn child’s] wrongful death.”

    Silva said he wants the women to be charged with murder, and if recognized, could permit the state to charge and sentence the women involved with the death penalty. However, his wife whose identity has been concealed, believes her ex is only doing this because she divorced him. 

    “I know either way he will use it against me,”

    the ex-wife said, according to photos of a group text attached to the suit.

    “If I told him before, which I’m not, he would use it as [a way to] try to stay with me. And after the fact, I know he will try to act like he has some right to the decision.”

    The ex-husband is asking for more than $1 million in damages, and he also wants an order to stop the three women from further administering any abortion pills.

  • Hotel Sexual Assault Reports In Texas Increasing Due To Staff Giving Predators Access To Women’s Rooms

    Hotel Sexual Assault Reports In Texas Increasing Due To Staff Giving Predators Access To Women’s Rooms

    The number of cases where of women being raped in their rooms at popular hotel chains, due to employees handing over the keys to sexual predators unchecked, is increasing. According to New York Post, men were able to break into the room of women after lying to staff to obtain access to their rooms in three separate cases in Texas.

    In December of 2022, a guest at a Gonzales, Texas Holiday Inn Express & Suites woke up to a man standing at the end of her bed with his pants undone and a condom out. “She was able to scream and get him out of the room, and she immediately called down to the front desk,” the victim’s lawyer explained. “They admitted, ‘Oh yes, we did give a key to the man. He said he knew you.’” The suspect was later located and arrested and charged with attempted sexual assault.

    In Austin, Texas, Kathleen Dawson was found unconscious outside the the $500-a-night Hilton Americas Houston hotel she was staying at. When spotted, a concerned bystander notified police. Hotel staff and officers from Houston’s police department followed the instructions of Dawson’s coworker, who falsely claimed she was staying in his room. Without checking her room number, hotel staff put Dawson in a wheelchair and rolled her into her coworker’s room. She later woke up to the man raping her. In a civil suit, Dawson was awarded $44 million in damages.

    “Although Hilton typically does not comment on legal matters, we respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict, and attest that our hotel team members acted at the direction of the Houston Police Department,” a spokesperson from the hotel chain explained.

    In January of this year, a woman staying at the DoubleTree Austin University Area Hotel saw a man’s hand pushing through the gap between the open door and trying to remove the safety latch. When she saw the man attempting to break in, she slammed the door on his finger, completely severing it off. After discovering that the man had been provided with a keycard to her room, the woman is now suing the hotel management company for $1 million.

  • Elderly Man Viciously Mauled By Pet Dogs, Owner Says They ‘Snapped’ After Pet Services Visit

    Elderly Man Viciously Mauled By Pet Dogs, Owner Says They ‘Snapped’ After Pet Services Visit

    An elderly man was mauled to death by his pet dogs, Fox News reported. Family members claim the dogs

    “snapped”

    after returning home from receiving pet services. 

    Ramon Najera, an 81-year-old grandfather, and Air Force veteran, was viciously attacked along with three other people, including his 74-year-old wife, who suffered injuries from at least two dogs, San Antonio police said 

    The dogs, identified as American Staffordshire Terriers, were euthanized after the fatal attack. Abilene Moreno, Christian’s wife, told Fox 29,

    “It’s like they snapped… They snapped on all of us.”

    Abilene said the dogs had shown

    “noticeable behavior changes”

    after returning home from quarantining at an Animal Care Services facility following previous a bite incident. She said her husband also discussed giving the dogs up for adoption before his brutal demise. 

    San Antonio Fire Captain Charles told the outlet that firefighters had to

    “fight off at least two Staffordshire Terriers with pickaxes and pipe poles to get to the victims.”

    A

    “gentleman [was] being dragged by a dog. They could see him completely bloodied before they got off of the truck,”

    Hood said. 

    Christian Moreno, the 31-year-old owner of the dogs was arrested and faces felony charges for the attack. Animal Care Services Director Shannon Sims told Fox News that they have received numerous complaints from neighbors about neglect from the owners and defended their policy on releasing the dogs.

    “Those animals finished their state-required quarantine, and the owner paid reclaim fees, and by state law, we were required to return those animals.”

    Abilene said they never neglected the animals and kept them away from neighbors.

    “We never neglected them. We always made sure the gates were closed. We always made sure their harnesses were on them after we got them from ACS,”

    she told the outlet. The family has since launched a GoFundMe campaign for Ramon Najera where they described him as

    “an adventurous, outgoing, and loving family man.”
