An uncomfortably large number of people who have kids shouldn’t have them and treat popping them out like a fun little side quest they do to make cute babies they can play dress up with, while having no actual regard for the deeply important aspects of parenthood. Kids aren’t an accessory, they are a human being whose entire life will be deeply impacted by how YOU parent them. We pussy foot around telling people they shouldn’t have kids because it’s controversial but if we were more bold we’d have less mentally fucked up humans in this world. So I’ll tell you.
In 2013, 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was abducted from her front yard by a man in a car who lured her with ice cream.
Fortunately, 15-year-old Temar Boggs and his friend witnessed the incident and decided to take action. They quickly grabbed their bikes and chased after the car.
For 15 minutes, the teenagers pursued the car until the kidnapper realized he had been noticed. He pushed the girl out of the car and fled the scene.
Thanks to the bravery of the two boys, the little girl was rescued. Without their intervention, her fate might have been very different.
In 2015, Heather Saul shot and killed Neal Falls after he tried to rape her. Luckily she managed to grab his gun away from him and used it against him. When police arrived to investigate the shooting, they found an enormous kill kit in the deceased’s car. They would later credit Heather with stopping an active serial killer.
Based on the circumstances surrounding Falls' death, law enforcement conducted an extensive investigation into his background to determine his culpability in any unsolved murders and disappearances of women.
This led the Federal Bureau of Investigation to believe that Falls had killed at least ten people and they identified Falls as a suspect in a series of dismemberment murders of escorts working on the Las Vegas strip from 2003 to 2007.
At the age of 16, Annelise Michel began blacking out at school and would soon start convulsing, vomiting, eating spiders, and coal, and even drinking her own urine.
After undergoing 67 exorcisms, she died in 1976.
She died of malnutrition, for which her parents and priest were convicted of negligent homicide.
At the time of her death, she only weighed only 67 pounds.
Doctors came to the conclusion she suffered from Grand Mal Epilepsy and Psychosis. Her story directly inspired the 2005 film "The Exorcism of Emily Rose".
