Does anybody remember the movie, “Fearless“? It’s a 1993 movie in which a few plane crash survivors go through post traumatic stress disorder and try to reconcile why they lived and others died. Their minds start to play tricks on them as they start to see themselves as invincible. It was inspired by a real life event.

Imagine being the 7 year old boy and being the only survivor on a plane, piloted by your father? That’s exactly what happened recently when a small, commuter plane crashed into Lake Erie.
How will this boy ever be the same? How does one come back from something like this?

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Rowing through darkness, Chuck Herndon steered his boat toward where he had seen a plane’s taillights plunge into Lake Erie. Then, he heard a faint cry.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Herndon yelled, rowing furiously and following the voice. But he still couldn’t see anything until a pair of small hands reached up and grabbed the side of the boat.

Once safely onboard, the shivering 7-year-old boy told Herndon that his dad and older brother didn’t survive.

“He said, ‘My father and my brother were killed in a plane crash,’ just like that,” Herndon said Tuesday, a day after the Monday night crash off Kelleys Island, midway between Toledo and Cleveland.

This mom is kiddy-whipped or crazy or both.

Get this — some self-absorbed, child-centric, child-centered, child-brained mother actually thinks that it’s her toddlers civil right to pee and shit in the pool and if people don’t like it, they should just eat his butt squirts:

An Akron mother and the Fair Housing Advocates Association have filed civil rights complaints against her condo association, saying the group is prohibiting infants and toddlers from the swimming pool because of fears over unwanted pee and poop.

The complaints were filed with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission this month after Suzanne Malcom was told twice this year that she wasn’t allowed to bring her 1-year-old son Lucas to the outdoor pool at the Seven Stories East Condominiums on East Market Street.

”As a parent, it’s my responsibility to defend his rights,” she said Monday afternoon during an interview in her small, fourth-floor porch that overlooks the pool. Read the rest…

Good Lord people! Leaving small children on buses (or daycare vans, in this particular instance) is like the new black. Why is this happening…like…once a week? Is it really that difficult to check the seats or wonder why a child isn’t being dropped off?

Apparently, the van-driving-posse from Little Bears does not employ the brightest promises of our future as they left a sleeping 6 year old boy to fend for himself when he woke up back at the daycare, in an unlocked van, having gone totally unnoticed. From Akron/Canton 23 News:

“He could have been killed, kidnapped, froze to death anything,” [Tabitha] Bevacqua [the boy's mother] says.

Bevacqua’s husband dropped Daniel off at his daycare early Monday morning. “Little Bears” then takes him to school. But while riding in one of these vans, Daniel fell asleep. He woke up about an hour later — still in the van, back at Little Bears.

“He said he fell asleep but was afraid to go in that he was going to be reprimanded,” Bevacqua says.

He walked almost a quarter mile before he found some help from construction workers. Read the rest…
