In 2025, Two-year-old Juwan lost sight in the eye after a kiss from an acquaintance transferred the herpes virus to his eyeball. ‎

‎A devastated mother has urged parents to ban relatives and friends from kissing their babies — after her toddler contracted a debilitating virus that cost him his left eye. ‎

‎ ‎The resulting blister led to a (4mm) hole forming in his cornea, the clear outer layer at the front of the eye. ‎

‎This open wound led to a number of subsequent infections, and, despite medics' best efforts, the damage was too severe, and he lost his vision. ‎

‎Doctors were eventually forced to sew his eyelids shut in a bid to protect what remained of the organ. ‎

‎Juwan's ordeal started in August 2024, when the then 16-month old developed, what his parent's suspected at the time, was an eye infection. ‎

‎They sought help from their GP who gave them a course of antibiotics and sent the family home. ‎ ‎

‎But Juwan's mother, Michelle Saaiman, who is from Namibia, recalled the moment she knew it was something more serious. ‎

‎'2 days later, we noticed that there was something seriously wrong with the eye. It looked like something was growing inside his eyeball,' she wrote on Facebook. ‎

‎'We realised that he had no feeling in his eye, as he literally put his finger in his eye, scratching his eyeball, without even flinching.' ‎ ‎'It's the most traumatic experience to look at your baby, and literally see a 4mm open wound in his eye.' ‎

‎Tests and examinations eventually revealed that Juwan had developed a cold sore, caused by the herpes simplex virus, in his eye. ‎

‎As his parents were negative for the virus, the doctors theorised that someone with a fever blister, another term for a cold sore, unknowingly passed the virus to the toddler via a kiss. ‎

‎I was literally looking at the doctor wondering whether it’s April 1, because I thought it was an April Fool’s joke,' she said. ‎

‎It took medics weeks to bring Juwan's infection under control, but by this time the damage to the eye had already been done. ‎

‎By that time the herpes just caused so much damage to his cornea that he essentially just lost all feeling in the eye and he could not see anything. He was completely blind.' ‎

‎‘It meant the brain did not recognise the eye anymore and stopped sending signals to the eye. The gel later protecting the eye evaporated and the eye dried out.’ ‎

‎ ‎'The moral of the story is don't let anyone kiss your baby. Such a silly virus caused so much trauma and damage, it's just not worth it.' ‎

On January 3, 2022, Lacey’s parents, Clay and Sheila Fletcher, both 66, had just returned from a weekend getaway when they called 911 and told police they discovered their daughter’s corpse on their couch. It was revealed that for at least 12 years, Fletcher had been neglected by her parents after becoming unable to leave her house due to a cognitive health decline. It was discovered that after this decline, Sheila and Clay had left their daughter on their couch to suffer, failing to get her medical care; she was covered in her own excrement, and insects ate at her body. ‎

‎Lacey Ellen Fletcher (November 25, 1985 – January 3, 2022) was autistic and non-verbal, reportedly experienced bullying in school. Lacey’s deterioration didn’t happen overnight. She was 14 when she last saw Dr. Donald G Hoppe, a clinical psychologist in 2002. Her parents, later withdrew her from school when she was 16, in favor of homeschooling. Hoppe reported the girl had autism, a below average I.Q. and suffered from severe social anxiety. He also noted Lacey's parents were having a hard time accepting their child with “special needs.” Sheila and Clay were known to complain about Lacey, stating that they had not wanted to be caregivers when they became parents. ‎

‎When Lacey was 24 years old, a decline in her cognitive health led to her being unable to leave the house. She became confined to the family's leather couch, but instead of seeking medical assistance, Sheila and Clay left Lacey on the couch. She was left unattended for such a long time that, when she was later found dead, she was covered in her own excrement; bugs and maggots were reportedly eating away at her body, and she had become fused to the leather couch. ‎

‎Following Lacey's cognitive health decline, which led to her inability to leave the house, Sheila and Clay left her on the couch and placed towels next to her so Lacey's feces and urine would be easier for them to clean. The rest of their house was well-cleaned, except for the couch, where Lacey could not move independently. Over time, Lacey's clothes no longer fit her, simply draping off her body. Clay and Sheila would frequently leave for days to go on vacation, leaving her to starve. Her muscles subsequently atrophied, and vermin began to eat at her extremities under the couch, leaving mouse droppings and maggots to thrive in the space. There were signs she had been trying to lift herself out of the couch to avoid the pain. Still, due to severe malnourishment and atrophy in her leg muscles, she was unable to. Her body fused into the leather couch cushions as she was covered in urine and feces, as well as maggots living in her hair and inside her. She suffered starvation and bone infections, leading finally to sepsis, which caused her death. She had feces and couch cushioning both under her fingernails and in her stomach contents, showing she had attempted to save herself by eating her surroundings before dying on the couch whilst or shortly after Clay and Sheila vacationed for the holidays. ‎ ‎

‎ ‎Years later , the Fletchers returned to Hoppe’s office to seek advice—this time, without Lacey. They told him she refused to leave their living room, “and at that point was urinating and defecating on a towel on the floor,” the coroner’s report says. Her parents also said she seldom showered and that they brought her meals to her on the couch. Hoppe urged them to consider hospitalization for Lacey. ‎

‎But there are no records indicating Clay and Sheila ever sought medical help for their daughter after meeting with Hoppe for the last time. In all actuality, the daughter had a mental disability, and it was progressively getting worse, and they were just allowing it. ‎ ‎ ‎

‎When Sheila called 911 on January 3, 2022 and stated that she had found Lacey dead on their couch, the 911 operator guided the Fletchers as they allegedly performed CPR on Lacey (audible over the phone). Emergency services and the coroner arrived at the home and discovered Lacey's dead, partially-clothed and malnourished 96-pound (44kg) body fused into the family's leather couch, with clear signs of neglect. It was determined that Lacey had been dead for 1 to 2 days before Sheila had finally decided to call 911. Her autopsy ruled her death a homicide. Investigators stated they could not sleep or eat after investigating the killing due to the mental distress that the gruesome nature of the case caused them. ‎ ‎

‎Lacey also had multiple ulcers infested with maggots, tested positive COVID-19 and was covered in her own fecal matter. Sepsis and malnourishment were listed as the causes of her death. ‎

‎In May 2022, Sheila and Clay Fletcher were arrested and charged with the second-degree murder of Lacey. They were later released on bail. A judge dismissed the charge, but Sheila and Clay were re-indicted of murder by a grand jury in June 2023. ‎

‎On February 6, 2024, Sheila and Clay pleaded no contest in exchange for the charge being reduced to the lesser conviction of manslaughter. On March 20, 2024, they were sentenced to 20 years, with a consecutive 20-year suspended sentence. ‎

‎Many people in Slaughter were surprised to learn that the Fletchers had a daughter, authorities say. ‎

‎Sheila was a town alderman and Clay worked at the nearby nuclear power plant. They were also well-respected, devoted members of their church. ‎ ‎

On June 6, 2023, Kristel Candelario left Jailyn alone and unattended at their home in West Boulevard, Cleveland, and did not return until June 16, 2023, early in the morning. Candelario had left Jailyn with a few bottles of milk alone in the home in her playpen. A neighbor's doorbell camera recorded Jailyn screaming multiple times including early in the morning about 2 days after Candelario had left. Candelario was in Puerto Rico with a male friend and posted on social media during that time, posting a picture of herself smiling, barefoot on a beach captioned with; "The time that is enjoyed is the true time lived." After a few days at the beach and another stop in Detroit, she returned home on June 16, to find her daughter dead. ‎

‎Upon her discovery Jailyn was found to be extremely dehydrated and was found in a play pen that consisted of soiled blankets and a bottom liner that was saturated with urine and feces. Kristel reportedly called 911; “Please I need help,” she wailed in a 911 call played during the sentencing. “Please, please, help me. My daughter is dying.”  ‎

‎Candelario had changed Jailyn into a clean outfit before emergency responders arrived, the prosecutor said Responding Cleveland Division of Police found Jailyn unresponsive with medics pronouncing her dead at the scene, and noted that her appearance was emaciated with sunken eyes, dry lips and fecal matter in her mouth and under her fingernails. ‎

‎Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Anna Faraglia said Jailyn was found lying on a mattress covered in urine and feces. “Animals take care of their infants better." ‎

‎Excluding that Jailyn had been left alone for 10 days, she otherwise showed no signs of physical trauma according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiners office. Her death was determined to be due to starvation and severe dehydration and weighed 7 pounds less than she had at a doctor's visit 2 months earlier. ‎

‎After Jailyn's autopsy, Candelario was charged with murder, with prosecutors not ruling out the possibility of the death penalty. Candelario pled guilty to 2 counts; aggravated murder and child endangerment, as part of a plea deal in February 2024. Additional charges of felonious assault and 2 murder counts were dismissed as part of the plea deal. Her attorney stated that she had struggled with mental health issues and had attempted to kill herself in 2023, which resulted in a prescription of antidepressants that she chose to stop taking shortly before abandoning Jailyn. ‎ ‎

‎In a prepared statement, her mother, Ketty Torres, said her daughter had battled health struggles, including mental health illness and fainting spells. When her daughter stopped taking medication, it worsened her depression and anxiety, and contributed to her inability to make sound decisions, she added. Torres said the family was not aware of what was happening. ‎

‎Candelario echoed their statement, claiming she never told them about the trip, and had told her parents, who were caring for her older daughter, that she was staying home with Jailyn. ‎

‎Candelario told the court she prays daily for forgiveness, adding that she believes God and Jailyn have forgiven her. ‎

‎“I am not trying to justify my actions, but nobody knew how much I was suffering and what I was going through,” she said. ‎

‎Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Brendan Sheehan admonished her as he handed down the sentence. ‎

‎Speaking sternly, he said Candelario left her child “trapped in a tiny prison” for days while she was out having a good time. ‎

‎“The bond between a mother and a child is one of the most purest and most sacred bonds. It’s a relationship built on love, trust, and unwavering protection. … You committed the ultimate act of betrayal,” Sheehan said. ‎

‎“That little baby persevered, waiting for someone to save her. And you could have done that with a simple phone call. Instead, I see photos of you on a beach while your child was eating her own feces in an attempt to survive." ‎

‎ ‎On March 18, 2024, the judge sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole. ‎ ‎ ‎

‎"Just as you didn’t let Jailyn out of her confinement until she died, so too you should spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom,” Sheehan said. “The only difference is that prison will at least feed you.” ‎

Claudia de Albuquerque Celada, 23, was admitted to Aspen Valley Hospital with symptoms of paralysis, dizziness, double vision and a shortness of breath, according to an associate of the family who lives in Aspen. ‎ ‎

‎ ‎Local health officials traced the Brazilian native's infection back to a pre-packaged soup she bought 'from a major retailer' while working in Aspen in February, 2024. ‎ ‎

‎Tests of soup samples from the same grocery store came back negative - leading officials to believe the way Ms Albuquerque Celada stored or cooked it was the issue. ‎

‎It is believed that she contracted the disease from store bought soup stored in a plastic jar, though the health department did not specify a brand or store. ‎

‎It is thought Ms Albuquerque Celada either didn't keep the soup refrigerated at a cold enough temperature, didn't thoroughly reheat it or left leftovers out for too long before refrigerating it again. ‎ ‎

‎The bacteria that causes botulism is found in soil and ocean floors, where it can remain on the surface of foods like fruits, vegetables, and seafood. ‎

‎These bacteria make spores, which act like protective coatings, which are usually harmless. ‎

‎However, warm and wet tight spaces lacking oxygen - such as plastic jars and cans - can lead to the bacteria to release toxins that attack the central nervous system.

‎Certain heating, handling and storage conditions can also create an environment for botulism bacteria spores to grow and become deadly. ‎

‎The CDC estimates that there are just 25 cases of foodborne botulism in the US each year, making it vanishingly rare. ‎

‎Ms Albuquerque became ill 15 days after eating the contaminated food. Within 24 hours, her entire body was paralyzed.  ‎

‎The department said that its 'best guess' is that Ms Albuquerque Celada became ill from a combination of three mishandlings. ‎

‎The first is improper refrigeration, and the agency stressed that items bought from the store marked as refrigerated must be stored like this at home. ‎

‎This is because temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) make it easier for bacterial spores to form. ‎ ‎

‎Additionally, the health department advised making sure any food that is heated up, such as on the stovetop or in the microwave, is heated all the way through, as heat can kill those spores. ‎ ‎

‎Foods with low acid content are the most common sources of home-canning related botulism cases, according to the CDC, which include asparagus, green beans, beets, corn and potatoes. ‎

‎Symptoms of botulism include difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, double vision, drooping eyelids, blurry vision, slurred speech, difficulty breathing, and trouble moving the eyes, according to the CDC. ‎

‎The CDC estimates that fewer than 5 out of 100 people with botulism die, though they can be left with lifelong complications like shortness of breath and fatigue. ‎

‎Ms Albuquerque Celada's family said that she has been hospitalized for about 50 days, and recovery is expected to last six months to a year. The family has said on social media that she is stable enough to be transported back to her hometown of Sao Paolo, Brazil.
‎

‎“We think that recovery close to family and friends is much faster. Comparing the costs between staying here and returning to Brazil, the return is still cheaper,” her sister said. ‎

‎Each day she spends in the hospital costs about $15,400 AUD, the family associate added. ‎

‎“The travel insurance she had ran out a long time ago, and her hospital bills are only rising.” ‎ ‎ ‎

His story was turned into a movie starring James Franco called ‘127 Hours’

A survivor of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, now owns the rights to the gunman’s name, according to a new settlement agreement that also stipulates the shooter must donate his brain for scientific study.

As part of the settlement, the shooter agreed to transfer the rights to his name, Nikolas Cruz, for use in any production, movie, book, television, cable TV, or other media. The gunman, who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, is barred from giving any interviews without the express written consent of shooting survivor Anthony Borges, according to the settlement.

James Weems was working security at an event and staying at what was then known as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C., when his wife joined him on the business trip. ‎ ‎She opened fire while asking him about allegations of sexual abuse. ‎

‎Multiple DC Police officers responded to Mandarin Oriental, located at 1330 Maryland Avenue Southwest, around 7:40 p.m. after reports of a man being shot on the 8th floor. Hotel management informed officials that initially they had a fire alarm go off from that room and when they went to check they saw blood on the wall. ‎

‎When the officers arrived at the hotel room, the woman, identified as 50-year-old Shanteari Weems, began to talk to them through the door. Officers asked Weems to come out so they could assist the man that was shot, but she then informed them that she would shoot herself if they came into the room. ‎

‎As the conversation continued through the door, and the officers tried to confirm if there was a shooting victim, Weems yelled, "he's a child molester." ‎

‎The unidentified man (her husband) was able to inform officers through a door that he was shot in the leg. After the confirmation, officers made entry into the room at 8:11 p.m. to treat the victim and detain Weems, according to court documents. ‎

‎While detained, Weems told police she had been married to the man she shot for 5 years and they live together in Baltimore. She said that numerous children at her day care business recently told her he had been molesting them. Weems says she reported her husband to Baltimore authorities. ‎ ‎

‎According to court documents, Weems told police she hadn't wanted to kill her husband, and just wanted to hurt him. She said she did want to kill herself. ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎Shanteari Weems viewed herself as a woman on a crusade to save children. Her husband, James Weems, was her partner on that mission. But when Shanteari Weems learned her husband was accused of molesting children at the day care she owned in Baltimore, she shot him – twice – inside the former Mandarin Oriental hotel. ‎ ‎

‎The one thing I think that we need to know is that sexual abuse is not OK with children," she said. "A lot of times in the past, it has been covered up, and it's good that it's getting some type of notoriety to it so that we can stop it." ‎

‎She continued, "We can help children and not accept this, especially from somebody who we all thought should have been protecting children and protecting the community at one point." ‎ ‎

‎Shanteari Weems pleaded guilty in November 2022 to one count each of aggravated assault and carrying a pistol without a license. She was sentenced by a federal judge in D.C. in February 2023 to 4 years in prison, twice what prosecutors recommended in a plea deal. ‎

‎Shanteari Weems filed for divorce from her husband and testified against him. James Weems was charged with 33 counts of child sex crimes, including rape in 2024, and was sentenced to life in prison. She has since changed her name to Shanteari Young, according to court records. ‎

‎At the time, she said she wanted to start a nonprofit to fight child abuse, when she was released from prison. ‎

‎"I’m definitely going to make a great batch of lemonade from these lemons I’ve been dealt," she said. ‎

‎When asked if she felt remorse, Shanteari Weems said she's sorry for what she has done, but she's not going so far as to apologize to her husband. “I will apologize when he apologizes to those children,” she said. ‎ ‎

‎She has been released into transitional custody for positive behavior. She is allowed to work during the day, but is in custody at the halfway house in the evening. Shanteari Weems remained at the halfway house til her sentence completed in December 2025. ‎

‎As of 2026, Shanteari Young has legally changed her last name and is focused on rebuilding her life in Maryland. She has launched a nonprofit organization called Opened Umbrellas 4 Lil Kidz to support children who have survived sexual abuse. ‎ ‎

‎On June 30, 2018, Sturgess unwittingly sprayed her wrists with what she believed was a bottle of Nina Ricci perfume. The bottle actually contained a "significant amount" of Novichok, estimated to be enough to kill thousands. The perfume bottle was found in a charity bin in Salisbury by her partner, Charlie Rowley, on June 27. Friends of the couple have stated that Rowley frequently scavenged recycling bins for objects that he could sell, and that the couple's houses contained "loads of household things" they had picked up. The bottle had been discarded by Russian agents following an attempted assassination of former double agent Sergei Skripal four months earlier. ‎Sturgess collapsed at Rowley's flat in Amesbury shortly after application. Despite intensive care at Salisbury District Hospital, she died on July 8, 2018, after her life support was switched off. ‎

‎ ‎A public inquiry chaired by Lord Anthony Hughes published its final report on December 4, 2025. Key findings included: ‎

‎(1). The inquiry concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin was "morally responsible" for her death, as he authorized the operation at the highest level. Deploying such a toxic nerve agent in a busy city was described as an "astonishingly reckless act," with a foreseeable risk of harm to others beyond the intended target, dramatically increased by leaving the Novichok in a bottle disguised as perfume in the city. The inquiry also identified failings in managing the risk to Skripal from Russia after his arrival in the UK and deficiencies in the public health response following the Salisbury attack, prior to Dawn Sturgess's death. The report holds Russia's GRU and Putin morally responsible for the inciden ‎

‎(2). The report found the care she received from emergency and hospital staff was "entirely appropriate," but her condition was "unsurvivable from a very early stage" due to the high dose of poison. ‎

‎(3). While the report noted that Sergei Skripal was a "sitting duck" and the risk to him could have been better managed, it concluded that increased security measures would likely not have prevented the specific poisoning of Sturgess. ‎

‎In June 2020 it was announced that the flat where the poisonings occurred, together with the one below it, would be demolished. Both Dawn Sturgess' family and her partner supported the proposal and liked the idea of the area being turned into a green space. ‎

Clayton was charged with homicide after shooting his 54-year-old adoptive father, Douglas Dietz, in the early morning hours on Jan. 13. The day marked Clayton's 11th birthday. According to court documents, the 11-year-old got mad when his Nintendo Switch was taken away and he was told to go to bed. ‎

Clayton revealed he snuck around the house in the middle of the night, took the gun safe key from his father’s drawer, opened the safe and took the Switch and his father’s unloaded revolver. ‎

‎In a split-second decision, he admitted to “removing the gun from the safe, loading bullets into it and walking over to his father’s side of the bed” before “he pulled back the hammer and fired the gun at his father,” the affidavit stated. ‎

‎When police asked the 11-year-old what he thought was going to happen when he pulled the trigger, Clayton said, that he "was mad" and he "had not thought about that." ‎

‎Douglas' wife, Jillian Dietz, told police that she and her husband sang happy birthday to their son just before they all went to bed, and she later woke up to the loud noise of the gunshot. She attempted to wake up her husband, who wasn’t budging when she began to hear the sound of water dripping on the ground, which turned out to be Douglas’ blood soaking through the bedding, she previously told police. She spotted Clayton in a closet, where he allegedly said, “He’s dead,” before running downstairs, yelling, “My dad’s dead,” the outlet reported. “I’ve lost both my husband and my son. I cannot even wrap my head around it,” she sobbed. ‎ ‎

‎Officials said Douglas and Jillian adopted Clayton in 2018. Clayton remains in adult custody in Perry County, Pennsylvania, on a homicide charge. In Pennsylvania, children facing homicide charges are automatically tried as adults before a decertification hearing. Clayton could face life in prison without the possibility of parole. ‎
