7 Financial Rules you should know by 30.

[Lupen @0xLupenn]

At 17 Banaz Mahmod was forced to marry a man ten years older. She said he rped her and beat her until her ears bled. She escaped and fell in love. Her father and uncle had her rped, strangled and buried in a garden for kissing another man. She warned police five times. An officer called her melodramatic. Her body was found stuffed in a suitcase. Her sister Bekhal testified against their family despite death threats.

In the video below the full story of Banaz Mahmod plays out - from her own police recordings to the secret tapes of her killers laughing about how long it took her to die.

She was Kurdish. Born in Iraq. Came to Britain as a child. The marriage was arranged when she was 17. The man her family chose was ten years older and treated her like property from the start.

She left him. Met Rahmat. They were seen kissing outside a Tube station. Someone called her uncle within minutes.

Her father made his first attempt before the family council even met. He got her drunk, put on rubber gloves and came up behind her. She smashed a neighbor's window to escape. The officer who responded considered charging her for the broken glass.

Three men entered her home on January 24th 2006 while she was alone. They r*ped her, tortured her and strangled her for over 30 minutes. She was 20. The body wasn't found for three months.

Bekhal took the stand knowing the family would never forgive it. She has lived under a new name ever since. Two killers fled to Iraq. Detective Caroline Goode spent three years getting them extradited. It had never been done before. They were sentenced to life.

Banaz recorded herself on a police camera saying: if anything happens to me, these are the people responsible. She gave names. She gave dates. She was ignored.

Was Banaz Mahmod failed by the men who killed her, or by every person in authority who heard her say she was going to die and did nothing?

The most hilarious story from the midterms, one that many didn’t hear about.

[Darvin @darvinxq]

Three months after her wedding, a 29-year-old nurse was found beaten and shot inside her Los Angeles home. Police called it a burglary gone wrong, and the case went cold. The killer had bitten her on the arm, and the swab from that bite sat in a coroner’s freezer for 23 years. All that time, the killer was working inside the same police department, as a detective. She was the husband’s ex-girlfriend.

In the video below, LAPD detective Stephanie Lazarus walks into an interview room in 2009, believing she’s there to help two colleagues with an art theft case. She leans back, chats, smiles. Then they start asking about a woman named Sherri Rasmussen.

You can watch the exact moment she realizes. “Now it almost sounds like you’re trying to pin something on me,” she says. They ask for a DNA swab. “Maybe… now I’m thinking I probably need to talk to a lawyer.” Then, almost laughing: “We had a fight and so I went and killed her? I mean, come on.”

What she didn’t know: weeks earlier, undercover officers had followed her into a Costco, waited for her to throw away a cup, and sent it to the lab. Her DNA matched the bite mark.

She thanks them for their time and gets up to leave. Then the door closes again. “Stephanie, you have the right to remain silent.” She sits there, shaking her head: “I’m totally in shock.”

In 2012, a jury convicted her of first-degree murder, and she got 27 years to life. In 2023, at a parole hearing, she finally admitted she did it. The board recommended her release. It was overturned a year later.

She spent 23 years putting killers in prison while hiding her own murder. Should she ever walk free?

At 1 year old Beth Thomas was being abused by her own father and left for days with almost nothing to eat. At 19 months she was adopted by a pastor and his wife, who were told she was a normal, healthy baby. By 6 she was smashing her little brother's head into a concrete floor and her parents were locking her bedroom door every night to keep him alive. Thirty years later she's a nurse who takes care of newborns.

In 1990 she sat in front of a therapist's camera and talked about killing her family like it was a story about someone else.

In the video below 6-year-old Beth swings her legs in a pink dress and answers every question in the same small, flat voice, while the therapist across from her tries very hard not to react.

She says her brother is afraid of her. She says her parents lock her door at night so she won't hurt him. Asked if she would, she says yes, at night, because she doesn't like them seeing her do it, "but they can feel me do it."

Asked what she'd use, she says a knife. Asked if she sticks pins in her brother, she says a lot, and that she's trying to kill him.

Then he asks why, and for one second you hear the little girl underneath it all: "Cuz I was hurt so bad."

She had squeezed baby birds to death and hidden knives from the kitchen. Doctors said her brain had learned before she could talk that nobody was safe, so she would hurt everyone first.

It took years of intense therapy and a new adoptive mother. Beth grew up, earned a nursing degree and now spends her days keeping babies alive.

Was Beth a born monster, or proof that a child can come back from almost anything if someone finally refuses to give up on her?

Kapag sinabihan ka sa public hospital pharmacy na "WALANG STOCK" ang reseta mo, wag ka munang uuwi.

Ganito lang ang gagawin, tandaan nyo itong 3 hakbang na to:

1. Hingi kayo ng katunayan (No Stock Slip) mula sa public hospital pharmacy
-Kailangan to bilang patunay na wala talaga sa ospital.

2. Punta sa Malasakit Center
-Dalhin nyo reseta, no stock slip, valid ID at Medical Abstract kung meron. Doon kayo lalapitan ng Medical Social Worker para sa Guarantee Letter (GL).

3. Pumunta sa accredited private pharmacy
-Kapag may GL na kayo, ituturo ng Malasakit kung saang accredited private pharmacy nyo kukuni yun mga gamot. Wala kayong babayarang cash dito. Sagot na ng DOH MAIFIP.

Save nyo na to, hindi natin alam kung kailan natin kakailanganin para sa pamilya

Saw on fb!! Big help!!!!

The Turpin family became known as the House of Horror. 13 children aged 2 to 29 locked inside a suburban California home - starved, beaten, chained to beds, denied showers for months, forbidden from going outside. Their parents David and Louise Turpin sentenced to 25 years to life. In 2026 six siblings received a $13.5 million settlement after being ab*sed again in foster care.

The only person who could save them was a 17-year-old girl who had never spoken to a stranger, never walked on a sidewalk and had no idea how the outside world worked.

In the video below, Jordan Turpin tells ABC's 20/20 what happened the night she escaped - and the full 911 call plays out for the first time.

She told the dispatcher she'd escaped from a family of 15. That her parents threw them across rooms, yanked their hair, chained them to beds and kept them in complete filth. That she sometimes woke up unable to breathe from how dirty the house was. That the last time she had a bath was almost a year ago.

She didn't know what a sidewalk was. She walked down the middle of the road in the dark because she had never been outside enough to learn. She found a stop sign and stood there because the dispatcher told her to - terrified her parents would look out the window and see her.

She said she knew if they spotted her they would kill her right there even with police coming. That's the kind of people they were.

The deputy arrived 14 minutes later. Jordan had never spoken to a stranger before. She was scared he wouldn't believe her. He asked if she had proof. She showed him photos on the phone.

He believed her. Parents arrested within two hours.

Jordan ran because her siblings were crying at night chained to their beds and begging her to call someone.

She decided that was enough of a reason.

Was Jordan Turpin the bravest person to ever call 911, or did the system fail 13 children for so long that a teenager had to save them herself?

Workers at Ground Zero successfully recover a secure vault owned by the Bank of Nova Scotia containing more than $20 million in gold and silver bullion.

The vault survived the collapse, but there was some damage to the bullion.

Kung may kakilala kang naospital, pwede mong gamitin nag ZERO BALANCE BILLING Strategy 🫶

Huwag ka muna pumunta sa private hospital at maglabas ng out-of-pocket money kung sinabing walang CT-Scan, MRI, or 2D Echo sa public hospital!

I’ve been sharing this diskarte to relatives & friends para makalibre sa procedure.

1. Hingi ka ng official Procedure Request na may tatak at pirma ng doktor mo mula sa public hospital.

2. Pumunta ka sa Malasakit Center sa loob ng hospital at sabihing "for procedure outside."

3. Hihingi sila ng requirements para bigyan ka ng Guarantee Letter (GL) para sa accredited private diagnostic centers or hospitals. Sagot na ng DOH MAIFIP yan kaya zero or minimal charges ka lang!

Pro tips:
a. Dapat galing sa PUBLIC hospital ang lab request. Kung galing sa private doctor, ipa-convert mo muna sa Out-Patient Department (OPD) ng public hospital.

b. Pumunta nang maaga at bitbitin agad ang PhilHealth ID + Valid ID para mabilis ma-approve!

Pass this along, super laking tulong 'to sa finances ✨

Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 people in Ohio and Wisconsin between 1978 and 1991. Netflix's Monster became one of the most-watched shows in its history. This month Ryan Murphy brought him back in American Horror Story.

His father spent the rest of his life asking one question: did I make him?

In the video below, Lionel Dahmer sits next to his son in prison and tries to answer it on camera.

Lionel was a chemist with a PhD. He saw that his son was quiet and drank too much. Jeffrey dropped out of college after one semester. Lionel pushed him into the army, then sent him to live with his grandmother.

In July 1991, police in Milwaukee arrested Jeffrey. Lionel learned the details at the trial, like everyone else.

He later wrote a book, A Father's Story. In it he admitted something most fathers would take to the grave: as a boy, he had dark fantasies too. He saw himself in his son.

He never changed his last name. He visited once a month.

In 1994 they sat down together on camera. Jeffrey had just read the book. At the end he turned to his father: "I'm really sorry that this has happened, and I love you a lot."

In November 1994, another inmate killed Jeffrey in prison. He was 34.

Lionel lived 29 more years.

17 families lost someone they loved. One father lost his son twice: first to the truth, then to a prison floor.

If your child did something unforgivable, could you still sit next to them?
