Brooklyn, NY – As 53-year-old Tian Sheng Lin was attempting to make a left-hand turn on his motorized scooter, 19-year-old Nechama Rothberger was behind him making the same turn. Unfortunately for Lin, Rothberger was also responding to text she had recieved on her phone and rear-ended the father of three, sending him flying into the road. He would suffer major head trauma and pronounced brain dead at the hospital. Rothberger has been charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and using a mobile phone while driving. I’m guessing that charges may increase in severity if they pull the plug on poor Lin who was just out there trying to deliver some Chinese food. “My dad did everything for his family. He always took care of us,” said his 19-year-old daughter. Reporters where there as Rothberger exited the courthouse with her mother, who posted her $5000 bail. They wouldn’t answer if they were sorry for what had happened, but their lawyer said they were. When asked if they would visit him in the hospital, the same lawyer said they would send him a letter.…

COPLEY, Ohio – Pretty sure this will be drug related, but still kind of creepy to think about. 18-year-old Ashley Quarterman was last seen leaving an EconoLodge Friday night or early Saturday morning after visiting with several groups of young people celebrating Valentine’s Day. When she never returned home, the family notified police. Police began a search and found Ashley behind a vacant building a half-mile from the hotel. She was found sitting in the snow, frozen and brain dead. She was taken to the hospital, but died from the extended exposure. An autopsy showed no signs of physical trauma, but the mother wants to know what happened that night and who let her wander off. You know what this story reminds me of? The story of Michael Wamsley and Janelle Hornickel. They were the couple that did meth then got lost in a snow storm, left their vehicle and then froze to death while talking to 911 and hallucinating.…

Bremerton, Washington – It’s always humorous watching a child take the first steps, all wobbly and uncertain. And as adults we encourage this progress with claps of joy and cheering…not quite realizing what is around the corner. Once a baby becomes mobile, a household is never the same. The terrible twos. They’re only terrible because parents fail to understand the grinning faces quickly turn into 30 pounds of wrecking machinery. They leave no stone unturned, nothing untasted, and nothing left in drawers and cabinets they can open. “Baby proofing” devices are measures that keeps babies safe and drive adults insane. But the safety far out-weighs the frustration of keeping your treasure from getting hurt (your children) and your trinkets from being invaded. And any parent understands children do “surprise” easily when you venture in, catching them in the act, but they don’t startle to the point of sustaining injuries that would cause brain death.…
