Sedemletnik je umrl zaradi skrajne debelosti, kar je postalo eno najtragičnejših primerov zanemarjanja otrok. Starša, ki sta ga hranila izključno s čipsom in pomfrijem, so bili aretirani zaradi obtožb umora in mučenja. Incident se je zgodil v ameriški zvezni državi Michigan, kjer je 42-letni Damien O'Brien in njegova leto starejša soproga Jessica, oče in mati sedemletnega sina Casperja, po večmesečni preiskavi aretirana. Krajevni tožilec David Leyton je primer opisal kot enega najgrozljivejših primerov zanemarjanja v svoji 22-letni karieri.
Casper je bil najden v družinski hiši, ki je bila do vrha napolnjena s smetmi, naleteli na grozljiv prizor. Deček je bil popolnoma nepokreten in privezan na improvizirano posteljo. Tehtal je 115 kilogramov, kar je štirikrat več od povprečja za njegovo starost. Umrl je v bolnišnici nekaj ur pozneje. Obdukcija je potrdila, da je trpel za razširjeno kardiomiopatijo, hudo bolezen srčne mišice. Patolog je poudaril, da sta ga starša hranila izključno s čipsom in pomfrijem, saj naj bi imel domnevno "težave s teksturo hrane".
Preiskava je pokazala, da je Casper nikoli ni hodil v šolo in da v sistemu nihče sploh ni vedel, da obstaja. Čeprav je imel oče stabilno zaposlitev in zdravstveno zavarovanje za vso družino, so dečka k zdravniku peljali le enkrat v življenju ter prezrli vsa napotila k specialistom. V hiši so našli njuno petletno hčer, ki je bila prav tako izjemno debela. Policisti so jo našli, kako gola in umazana teka po hiši. Deklico so staršem takoj odvzeli in jo predali socialni službi. Zakoncema O'Brien pa v primeru, da ju spoznajo za kriva umora in mučenja, grozi dosmrtni zapor.
V drugem incidentu je 49-letni mopedist trčil v drugo vozilo in s kraja nesreče pobegnil. Policisti so ga izsledili in ugotovili, da je imel v litru izdihanega zraka 0,88 miligrama alkohola (1,83 g/kg). Zoper njega bo podan obdolžilni predlog. V trećem primeru je 28-letni voznik osebnega avtomobila trčil v objekt zaradi neprilagojene hitrosti. Imel je v litru izdihanega zraka 1,71 miligramov alkohola (3,5 g/kg) in nima veljavnega vozniškega dovoljenja. Vozilo so mu zasegli, o kršitvah bo obvestilo sodišče.
V Berlinu se je zgodil incident, kjer je skupina petih odraslih oseb dojenčku in triletniku dajala piti pivo. Kopalci, ki so zgroženi opazovali otroka, so poklicali policijo. Policija je sprožila preiskavo zoper pet oseb, šlo naj bi za Srbe, stare 18, 19, 20, 23 in 25 let. Med osumljenimi so tudi starša obeh otrok. Urad za zaščito mladine je vključen v preiskavo. Reševalci so oba otroka pregledali in ju preventivno prepeljali v bolnišnico. Prve informacije kažejo, da nista utrpela trajnih poškodb ali zastrupitve, njuno zdravstveno stanje pa še naprej spremljajo.
V zadnjem primeru je 21-letni voznik začetnika zapeljal s ceste na travnato brežino in trčil v podporni zid stanovanjske hiše. Avtomobil se je po trku prevrnil na streho. Voznik je bil pod vplivom alkohola (0,58 mg/l) in bodo z obdolžilnim predlogom predlagali sodišču. Na kraju so pomoč nudili tudi gasilci.

Radio OgnjiščeParty-alignedRightFactual 75Objective 602 days ago Against the early sexualization of children in the educational systemThe article discusses concerns raised by Professor Klara Levstek regarding the early sexualization of children within the educational system. She criticizes guidelines promoted by international health organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the German Federal Center for Health Education, which outline standards for sex education across different age groups. These guidelines include topics like family diversity, body exploration, contraception, and sexual orientation, which Levstek argues may be developmentally inappropriate for young children.

Slovenske noviceIndependentLeftFactual 40Objective 304 days ago Seven-year-old boy dies of obesity, weighs 300 pounds, you won't believe what his parents fed himA seven-year-old boy named Casper died from heart failure caused by severe obesity, according to authorities. His parents, Damien O'Brien and Jessica, are being investigated for murder and cruelty after they allegedly fed their son exclusively with chips and pizza due to supposed 'texture issues' with food. The child was found in a filthy home, completely motionless and tied to an improvised bed, weighing 115 kilograms—four times the average for his age. Emergency responders arrived after the mother called for help, finding the child unable to breathe. The autopsy confirmed he suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy, a serious heart muscle condition. The investigation revealed that Casper had never attended school and no one in the system was aware of his existence despite the father having stable employment and health insurance. Authorities have removed the family’s five-year-old daughter, who was also severely obese and found naked and dirty running through the house, and placed her under social services. The couple faces potential life imprisonment if convicted of murder and abuse.
