A young boy faced severe neglect and nearly lost his life before being found emaciated in his home.

At the time, Jordan lived with his dad, Brad Bleimeyer, his step-mother, Tammi, and seven step-siblings.

An odd one out as the only child from Bleimeyer’s other relationship, he was treated extremely poorly by his parents.

While all his step-siblings were treated well, Jordan lived in a tiny closet beneath the stairs and was repeatedly starved, hit, and abused.

The small cupboard that Jordan had to call home was completely unsafe for living. Bare nails and wires sticking out of every corner, and it was extremely cramped.

Thankfully, there was someone looking out for him – Cody, one of Jordan’s step-siblings. The 16-year-old was extremely concerned about his young brother.

Cody spoke to teachers, but they didn’t know how to help.

He spoke to police, and they took trips to the house again and again but ultimately told him that there wasn’t anything they could do.

Even when at his door, the police couldn’t come in because Cody didn’t own the house and was underage.

Cody and one of his sisters, Allison, worked hard to try and talk to their parents about Jordan.

But this enraged their mother and father, who would punish them physically and berate them verbally while tossing threats around.

Then, one day, after a big fight Cody had with Bleimeyer, his parents both went outside. Knowing the fight already landed him in trouble, Cody made a brave decision.

He hadn’t seen Jordan in about a week at this point. So, he hurried to Jordan’s closet and wrenched open the door – and what he saw absolutely shocked and horrified him.

Jordan was naked except for a diaper, and he was covered in marks and bruises. He was foaming at the mouth and his face appeared caved in.

He was mere skin and bones, completely pale, and smelled awful. Cody stared in horror for a few seconds then launched into action, knowing Jordan may not survive very long.

He passed Jordan to Allison and rushed outside to confront his parents.

Allison, then 14, notes that Jordan was so light that he felt like he wasn’t even there. He was also terrified as she did her best to comfort him.

Meanwhile, Bleimeyer and his wife were furiously yelling at Cody, shoving him around and telling him that it wasn’t his business to open the closet.

Cody tried to attract attention, and when that failed, he used a prepaid phone – thankfully one he still had even though his mom had confiscated his normal one – and rang the police.

As he did so, Tammi was packing up and getting all the kids ready to leave. Luckily, this time, there was something that the police could do.

Jordan finally received justice in December 2018. Bleimeyer received a 15-year prison sentence and Tammi received one for 28 years.

The rest of the children wound up in foster care, and Jordan now lives happily and healthily with his biological mother.

Have you ever looked at your child and wondered how they can be so amazing? Some children are just wise beyond their years.

Leland Shoemake was one of those children. Sadly, he died on September 25, 2015. He has contracted meningitis from an ameba (Balamuthia mandrillaris). Amber, Leland’s mom, believes he got the deadly infection playing outside.

After Leland had passed, his parents returned home and found the note he had left for them. The note was in the living room and Tim, Leland’s dad, found it. The moment he read the note, he cried. Here is the note – read it, and you will cry too.

Leland was known for leaving little notes for his parents, this one was clearly very different.

Amber and Tim held onto each other and cried after reading their son’s note. Balamuthia infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is a rare and often fatal condition. The Balamuthia amebas live in the soil. Playing in dirt, gardening, or just breathing in the soil where the amebas live increases your chance of infection.

No one is immune – these amebas can infect anyone. Any open wound can be a way into the body. Some symptoms of infection include nausea, vomiting, headaches, difficulty walking and talking. The treatment is the use of several drugs. According to the CDC, the correct diagnosis is made just before the patient dies.

This makes it hard for doctors to find the right combination of drugs to treat it properly.

The Leland Shoemake Foundation was set up to spread awareness about this deadly ameba. Please spread the word.

Having a gun is a constitutional right, but many people who have guns are not careful with them and either hurt themselves or others.

Noah Inman, 13, was outside playing basketball with some friends on July 1, when he suddenly collapsed.

Witnesses thought he had had a seizure – but unfortunately he had been struck by a falling bullet.

Police believe someone fired a bullet up in the air and tragically, Noah was hit and he passed away on July 7.

Gravity people – you fire a bullet up into the air, and it will fall back to the earth.

The Hammond Police Department urged people to only use legal fireworks on the Fourth of July for the safety of everyone in the area.

Many people have said that Noah’s death was a tragic accident and an incredible fluke.

Be safe out there people. Guns aren’t toys and shouldn’t be used unless you are defending yourself.

Share away, people.

Almost four months after a botched police raid left a homeowner and a police officer with gunshot wounds — and the homeowner’s dog dead at the hands of the police — the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office hasn’t released any new information on the investigation.

The case drew widespread condemnation and headlines when DeKalb County sheriff’s deputies walked into the wrong house, guns drawn, after getting a 911 call about a burglary.

Inside, 36-year-old homeowner Chris McKinley was watching a movie with his wife, Leah, and 1-year-old son when police entered through an unlocked back door, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Police claim they announced themselves, but in interviews afterward, McKinley said the deputies did not give any warning. When McKinley heard his dog barking, he got up to see what was happening and walked to the rear of the house, where police shot him and his dog, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“I hear Leah screaming, I see Chris walking out, ‘They just shot me, they just shot me, and they killed my dog,’” Tama Colson, a neighbor who was returning home from an evening walk when she stumbled into the chaotic scene, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
For their part, police blamed the original 911 caller and the dispatcher for the incident.

“Are we perfect?” DeKalb Director of Public Safety Cedric Alexander asked, reports the Journal-Constitution. “Absolutely not. But when we find a mistake, we own it. We own the fact that we were at the wrong house. We didn’t hide it. We didn’t mismanage it. We were at the wrong location based on information that was given to us.”

In the initial police version of events, McKinley “burst out of a closed door with a pit bull that charged at the officers,” according to a police report cited by WSB-TV.

McKinley’s attorney, Jeff Brickman, flatly denied the police report, which was written in language that seemed to absolve the deputies from any wrongdoing. The dog was a boxer, Brickman told WSB-TV.

“Chris McKinley didn’t burst out of any closed door,” Brickman said. “He doesn’t have a pit bull.”

McKinley was shot once in the leg, while Officer Travis Jones was shot in the hip.

Since the incident, Jones and his two fellow officers — Timothy Hardin and Quhanna Lloyd — have been on paid administrative leave.

Authorities urged calm in interviews with Atlanta-area media in September and October, asking the public to withhold judgment until the investigation is complete, but DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James has not issued any new information on the case, as of Dec. 14, nor has he given any indication when the investigation will be completed.
