Teenage girl beaten to a coma by a 15 year old boy

Warning: Graphic content.

Wayne Treacy, 15, and a 13-year-old girl are being held in a juvenile detention center in connection with the attack at Deerfield Beach Middle.

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, Josie Lou Ratley's cell phone was used by the 13-year-old friend to send text messages to Treacy, with whom the friend had a relationship.

But Ratley sent messages of her own to Treacy, expressing her disapproval of the relationship and making a "disparaging" reference to the October suicide of Treacy's brother, said Sheriff Al Lamberti.

That remark incensed Treacy, who put on steel-toed boots, texted friends that he was going to kill Ratley, and rode his bicycle three miles from his home to Deerfield Middle to find her, the Sheriff's Office said. When he got to the campus, the 13-year-old friend pointed out Ratley, knowing Treacy intended to harm her, the Sheriff's Office said.

The friend was arrested Thursday on a count of accessory to attempted murder and was ordered held for 21 days in juvenile detention while prosecutors review the case.

Wayne Treacy (pictured above) faces an attempted-murder charge.

Ratley's family released a series of disturbing photos taken in the 15-year-old girl's hospital room as she continues to be treated for head injuries suffered during a brutal assault.

Suing your husband's mistress

Cynthia with her dog

A North Carolina woman, Cynthia Shackelford, 60, thought her husband Allan was deeply in love with her. Then came his late nights at the office and suspicious charges on his credit card and cell phone bills. And finally, a private investigator confirmed what she had feared: Her husband, she said, was having an affair.

Under centuries-old North Carolina case law, Shackelford sued her husband's alleged mistress, Anne Lundquist, for "alienation of affection," charging that the woman broke up her 33-year marriage.

She says that the woman manipulated her husband and convinced him to walk out on 33 years of marriage.

Last week, Shackelford won. A jury awarded her $5 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages to be paid by Lundquist, her husband's mistress.


"She set her sights on him. ... She knew he was married," Shackelford said of Lundquist Monday. "You don't go after married men and break up families."

North Carolina is one of seven states that allows the people to be sued for cheating with a married man or woman.

Lol.
America and the things possible over there. I love that country I swear...lol
If it were possible to sue mistresses every where in the world, there won't be that many mistresses would there?
But who do you really blame in situations like this, the husband or the mistress?

Ghastly Crash: Governor Liyel Imoke Flown Abroad

By Emma Una/ Calabar

Following the injuries sustained by the Cross River State Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, on the mountainous Obudu Ranch Resort, the governor has reportedly been flown abroad for further medical treatment.


The governor was involved in a road mishap while ascending the mountainous Obudu Ranch Resort at about 2 a.m after he had attended two funeral obsequies in Obudu in the northern senatorial zone of the state.

After the event, it was too late for the governor to use the cable car which had closed during the day, hence his trip in the SUV in the early hours of that fateful day to rest at the Resort.

The driver lost control of the SUV in which the governor was, causing it to skid off the snaky road and crashing several times into the steel barriers by the side of the road, thus causing him to sustain serious injuries.

The driver and the chief security officer to the governor did not sustain serious injuries but Imoke’s case was terrible.  The governor’s car according, to sources, was badly mangled.

No Acid Rain in Nigeria

A text message circulating through mobile networks had warned that there could be acid rain in the country between March 20 and 28.

The text message said, “Be careful from the 20-28th of this month. There is the possibility of an acid rain. The dark circle appeared on 17th of last month and this is an indication of acid rain. Apparently this happens once in 750 years. It rains normally but it may cause skin cancer if you expose yourself to it. This information is from the National Space Agency in the United States.” 
 
But Mr. Takao Doi, a Chief Space Applications Officer at the UN Office for Outer Space, has allayed fears of acid rain accompanying the current harmattan haze accross the country. He said “No acid rain is coming. The haze is a natural phenomenon. It is a result of climate change. There is no case for alarm. Don’t entertain any fear; the haze will go with time.”

Lagos State Commissioner for environment, Dr Muiz Banire also allayed fears. He revealed that samples taken yesterday showed high level of particulate matters in the air. He noted that the North East wind that blows across the Sahara Desert carries with it a lot of dust and the weather is very humid. He counseled that any rainfall any moment from now may have muddy particles and advised the public not to use it for human consumption, cooking or direct drinking.

Also people who are asthmatic and others with respiratory diseases are advised to stay indoor or cover their noses with wet handkerchiefs when they are going out.
