Pre-teen takes police for a ride

A 12-year-old girl from South Carolina has literally taken the police for a ride, when she stole a car that led cops on a hot chase.

According to a report appeared in the Huffington Post, the police initially thought the unidentified pre-teen was a drunk driver after noting her swerving and reaching speeds up to 70 miles per hour.

It all happened when the girl got into a brawl with her father that spurred her to leave the house. Angry over this, the girl stole a truck from a nearby VFW hall and hit the road, the report quoted the police.

“Police gave chase to the girl for 20 minutes from near her Gaffney, S.C. home all the way to Charlotte, N.C. The girl covered around 50 miles overall during the joyride,” says the report.

The owner of the truck had no clue how the little girl was able to steal the car telling WSOC in Charlotte that he wanted to know how she got inside the car and was able to get it started.

Officers corralled the young girl after she slowed down enough for officers to surround the truck.

The girl and her father may face charges in Charlotte for the incident.

Though the girl’s dad has to be mad and punish her for her reckless actions, on some level, you have to be proud, right? Endangering herself and others aside, it’s kind of cool that your daughter got all Dukes of Hazzard. Raising a badass ain’t easy, says the report.

UK Parliamentarians use comps for porn

If some of the BJP members in the Karnataka State Legislative Assembly are still embarrassed over their alleged porn surfing a year ago, here is bigger news of how elected representatives use their official computers to enjoy hardcore pornography, albeit not in our country.   

According to a report in Daily Mail, parliamentary computers are being used to view hardcore pornography featuring sadomasochism and foot and fat fetishism. In a shocking discovery, it was found that the X-rated websites have been accessed more than 2,500 times on computers used by MPs, peers and their staff.

The report says that gay cruising websites have also been visited a further 3,500 times along with obscure erotica sites – including one showing naked women posing with cats. Asked for an explanation, a parliamentary spokesman claimed the sites may have been “visited accidentally”.

The Mail claims to have obtained the information through a Freedom of Information enquiry. It covers a 14-month period between May 2011 and July 2012. The visits are a breach of parliamentary IT rules, which bar online ‘pornography’, ‘nudity’ and ‘adult/mature content’.

It was earlier reported by The Mail that parliamentary computers were used to click thousands of times on a website that encourages adulterous affairs.

Harry Potter, a barrister specialising in obscenity cases was quoted as saying: ‘Having viewed the material, it does not in my opinion fall foul of the law as constituting extreme pornography. It is, however, undoubtedly hardcore pornography.’

The report further says that a variety of foot fetish websites – which include pornographic images of lurid sex acts involving feet – have been viewed 470 times. Another website featuring an array of pictures of naked women lying next to cats has been viewed 17 times.

According to the report, a Polish pornography website was accessed 292 times in May 2011. In the same month, a dating website was clicked on 653 times. The website boasts it is ‘dedicated to connecting fun-loving singles across the UK’.

Further shocker by the report: “A gay dating website was accessed 2,828 times in May 2011. The website states it provides a ‘platform for the gay and bisexual male and transgender community.” And here is the most bizarre news: another website that allows users to pick which MPs have ‘the most sex-appeal’ has been clicked on 12,371 times.

So, should we understand that politics and porn go hand in hand?

Wolf in sheep’s skin

It was found that an English nurse turned out to be one of the worst serial killers, Britain has ever seen. According to criminal records archives, Amelia Elizabeth Dyer, killed 400 babies in the Victorian era

In what looks like a practical adaptation of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hide, an Englishwoman fondly called the “Angel Maker” one has now emerged as Britain’s worst-ever serial killer. In a spine-chilling discovery, it was found that she brutally killed 400 babies in the Victorian era, according to criminal records from 1770 through 1934 placed online by the National Archives.

According to reports, Amelia Elizabeth Dyer, born in 1829 in Bristol, killed about 400 babies - mostly illegitimate infants - between 1880 and 1896. The killings horrified society, and the public outcry led to stronger regulations on adoption and foster care in England.

Dyer was a trained nurse and decided to be a caretaker who would look after children until they were placed in foster care or were adopted, because it was a more lucrative business. She advertised her services and got responses from desperate unwed mothers who gave their children to Dyer for a fee to place them for adoption. Greedy Dyer was quick in pocketing the fee from the mothers – mostly impoverished laborers - but never took care of the babies. Instead, she gave them an opiate drug to keep them sedated and let them starve to death, says the report.

For almost a decade Dyer continued to do her nefarious activities, but was arrested for child neglect and sentenced to six months in prison. It was then that she was believed to have realized that killing the children immediately would be easier and safer than putting them to a slow death.

After her probation period, Dyer moved to Reading, which had liberal adoption rules, and started an adoption agency. She preyed on unmarried mothers who were more than relieved to hand over their unlucky children to Dyer. Some of the mothers asked her to kill their illegitimate children while others trusted her to find their children a loving home, say reports.

Dyer reportedly strangled the babies with a dressmaking tape and threw the bodies to the River Thames. She could continue her crimes unabated as doctors at the time couldn’t differentiate a stillborn baby from one that was strangled, reports say.

She continued her ghastly crimes for about three decades until 1896, when she was arrested after scores of bodies fished out of the Thames aroused suspicion and triggered an investigation. When interrogated, Dyer confessed to the crimes.

She was sentenced to death and hanged at Newgate Prison June 10, 1896.
