Mother Says She Slashed the Throats of Her Three Children to Stop Them from Crying

No comments
Christina Booth from Olympia, WA, is being held on $3 million dollar bail with three counts of attempted murder after stabbing her three young children.
According to the Daily Mail, Christina says her husband, Special Forces soldier Thomas Booth, doesn't help with the children and gets irritated when they make noise. When their six-month-old twins and two-year-old daughter started crying Sunday night, the mother slit their throats in an attempt to silence them.
"My babies won't calm down," Christina said in her 911 call to police after stabbing them. Later, her husband came on the phone and explained that the babies were bleeding and needed an ambulance.
During her interview with authorities, detectives wrote: "Christina said she knew if she killed all of

the kids, the house would be quiet for Thomas." The mother is on medication for postpartum depression.

All the children are now in protective custody, and in stable condition at a local hospital.

18-Year-Old Model With Down Syndrome Will Walk at New York Fashion Week, Change the World

No comments
Madeline Stuart, an 18-year-old Australian model with Down syndrome, first went viral earlier this year after her stunning photos were posted on Facebook. Since then, Stuart and her mom Rosanne have been fielding international modeling requests. Most recently, Stuart signed to walk in New York Fashion Week with MODA in association with the Christopher Reeve Foundation. She has also been working with handbag company EverMaya and will be the face of a new line of handbags (all named after her!) launching Friday. Rosanne spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about how her daughter's modeling is changing people's perceptions about intellectual disabilities and what Madeline's impact on the world will be.
Congratulations on New York Fashion Week! What a big deal.
Yes! There's a lot of big deals happening at the moment, it's ridiculous!
What was your first reaction to hearing the NYFW news?
When we were asked to do New York Fashion Week, it didn't surprise me. I don't think anything really surprises me anymore. She's been asked to do a lot of stuff and I was hoping to she'd get asked to do NYFW but I assumed it would happen. I hope that doesn't sound too pretentious.
No, that's so exciting. It is very exciting and it's going to take her from one level to the next. I know [American Horror Story actress who also has Down syndrome] Jamie Brewer did it in February, but she is a movie star, she's not a model. With Madeline, this is her career, so I think it's going to be a great platform for her.
When Madeline first went viral, she called Brewer an inspiration. Have they since met?
We did meet Jamie in L.A.
How was that?
It was great. She's a lovely young lady. She's very high-functioning, a lot higher functioning than Maddy. She's just beautiful. I don't think I've ever met someone with Down syndrome who isn't beautiful. They just have the most amazing personalities. She was so excited to meet Maddy; she'd been following her on Twitter for months. One of the first people to follow Madeline on Twitter was that supermodel Karlie Kloss. Isn't that amazing?
Maddy's social media accounts have grown exponentially since they were created in May. How do you explain that kind of growth?
There hadn't been anyone who chased this dream, whereas Madeline really chased it. She wanted this and she worked hard for it. I've done everything I can on the business end to get her to this stage. Now it's just her working her charm.

Do you also think the world was ready for someone like Madeline to be in the spotlight?
The world was ready. The world wants to be inclusive, it just hasn't had anyone on such a platform that they were able to do it easily. I remember when I was a child at school, people were homophobic and things like that, and now it's cool to be gay! Imagine in 10 years what society will be like for people with disabilities. It's not going to be how it is now, it's going to be the norm. It's probably going to be cool to hang out with someone who has an intellectual disability because you know that they care more about emotions than they do about the materialistic world. Everyone's going to want that friend to teach them what true love is.

Where do you most see enthusiasm for Maddy's work?
You can see it with Instagram. It's mainly young people and I see people putting on Madeline's Instagram "Madeline #HairGoals," "Madeline #RelationshipGoals," "Madeline #FigureGoals," "Madeline, oh my god, you're prettier than I am, fashion sense on cue or something like that." This is the next generation! These are young girls who are never going to grow up being discriminatory! When Maddy was born, I can remember walking around the street with people abusing me saying she should be in an institution, and that was 18 years ago!
How has the modeling affected your relationship? It's not about the modeling for me. It's about my daughter being happy. This is about showing the world how easy it is to talk to someone with an intellectual disability, how easy it is to walk up to someone and make them realize they're the same! Like she said to me a minute ago, "Mum, hug," and I jumped into bed and gave her a hug. I put down my work and gave her a hug because that's what she wanted in that moment and that's what I cherish. You don't always get those moments.

This Woman Dumped Her Cheating Husband With a Billboard Message

No comments
Why dump your significant other in real life when you can take out a digital billboard ad to call them out on their morning commute? At least, that's what one woman from Sheffield, U.K., did. 
The woman, who according to AdWeek is known as Lisa, wrote the billboard message to inform her husband that she knows he cheated. Not only that, though, but she also said, "When you get home I won't be there." ​The message called her husband Paul out by his first name, and she even ended it with, "Enjoy your drive to work!" 
And you thought your morning commute was bad.

Studio NL’s nifty desk that doubles as a bed lets you sleep on the job

No comments
A Greek design company have created the answer to every London office worker’s prayers - a desk that has a bed inside it.
To the naked eye, the ingenious piece of furniture looks like your average nine-to-fiver’s desk, but pull down side panels and it reveals a cosy sleeping spot.
The end of the box folds out so you can lay comfortably with your head propped up - and the top of the desk still remains intact so others can continue working whilst you’re catching some shut eye below deck.




Internet Rallies Around Bullied Teen Who Shaved Her Hair After a Student Poured Glue In It

No comments
Hannah Combs, 15, was hanging out with her friends before the start of school on September 14th, when a boy in her class snuck up behind her and poured super glue on her head, soaking her hair and scalp.
"It instantly started burning," Hannah told the Killeen Daily Herald. "It felt like my head was on fire. It was horrible."
Hannah, a freshman at Harker Heights High School in Killeen, Texas, immediately went to the nurse's office . The assistant principal questioned her about the incident, but Hannah could barely speak through the pain. Meanwhile, the boy who attacked her was not spoken to by school officials or taken into custody until Hannah's father Christian Grimmer, a retired soldier, threatened to call 911.
Later that day, a doctor diagnosed Hannah with first-degree burns on her scalp. The hair on the right side of her head was matted and ruined, so she decided to shave it off.

"I realized I lost my favorite thing about me. I loved my hair," she said. "My hair was the only thing I liked about myself, honestly. I lost it for no reason."
The next day, she returned to school even though she was still in pain. During first period, she became anxious when she realized she'd have to encounter the bully who had poured the glue on her head during the second period class they shared, so she left school for the day. She later learned that he was given an in-school suspension for what he did, but she's run into him on campus since the incident, since they have mutual friends.
Hannah's parents have made multiple requests to Killeen Independent School District Superintendent John Craft for the boy to be transferred to another school within the district, but have not heard back directly from him.
"You would think the superintendent's priority would be school safety, but it is not any of his concern because he will not return any calls," Christian said.
However, the school district issued a statement explaining that they are committed to the safety of their students and have responded to the incident in accordance to state law, board policy, and code of conduct.
Although the school district's response to Hannah's traumatic experience have been underwhelming, the Internet has embraced her with open arms. Her mother Jessica wrote a Facebook post detailing the incident that changed her daughter's expectations for freshman year "dramatically." It struck a chord with basically everyone who has a heart, and soared to 12,000 likes and 90,000 shares in under a week. She also created a Facebook page titled "Justice for Hannah" to rally support.
Supportive comments have poured in from across the globe. Hannah's situation even caught the attention of a local hairstylist at The Salon in Harker Heights, who offered to cut and style her hair into a beautiful asymmetrical look for free.
No one should have to go through what Hannah did, but regardless of how long or short her hair is, she's a gorgeous girl with a loving family, the support of the Internet, and — most importantly, the strength to stand up for herself.

This Innocent Girl Was Tortured For 10 Hours Straight…And You Might Agree With It

No comments

#1 A woman in the UK was recently treated to unspeakable horrors and torture of the worst kind. Her name is Jacqueline and shockingly, this is what she wanted.


#2 You see, Jacqueline was making a point. She was passionate about companies using horrible animal testing methods and she knew she had to make a statement.






#3 For 10 hours, she wore a flesh-coloured body suit only and was put on display in the shop window in London to show what animals go through.






#4 Her eyes burned with chemicals – the same type of cosmetics testing that would be done on animals.

 

5 Moments later, she was force-fed food and drink.


#6 One of the most difficult moments was when her head was gripped and electronic clippers shaved a large strip from her hairline – a common practice in laboratories when monitors or electrodes need to be attached to an animal’s skin.









#7 Creams and lotions were applied to her forehead and cheeks leaving painful red sores and burns.















#8 Uncomfortable electrodes were attached to her head while she was tested.










#9 Some of the terrifying tools she had to endure but animals face this on a daily basis in labs.

#11 Although it was a performance, she never looked comfortable and suggested not all the pain was an act.

#10 Her arm bled in real life from resisting multiple injections.

#12 Jacqueline was publicly humiliated, shivering with cold and had red sores from the lotions from her cheek. But it was not in vain – passerbys saw her ordeal and signed a petition against animal testing. This protest of animal testing was meant to spa
