Amanda Craft was having lunch with a group of fellow special education teachers in McDonald’s Noblesville, Indiana, and probably thought her day would play out much the same as many of the others.
That was until the women overheard a conversation between a young man sitting at another table opposite an elderly woman. Their stark differences peaked the interests of the group, but it was the exchanged words that confirmed Amanda’s belief that she had to do something.
In the end, she took a photo of the pair, her mind fixed on the young man who would later be identified as Eric Haralson. Just before she left the restaurant, she told him: “I hope you know, you’re going to go viral.” Read the full story here ▶
A young mom in Australia has revealed that she miraculously fell pregnant with twins just six weeks after welcoming her very first child.
According to The Daily Mail, 27-year-old Eliza Curby, from Sydney, “didn’t even think about contraception” after the birth of her first baby Charlie in January 2016.
While Curby always believed the old wives tale that “you can’t get pregnant if you are breast feeding,” she has since learned that it is absolutely not true in her case.
“Breast feeding doesn’t do s***, this pregnancy happened, it is real,” Curby told Daily Mail Australia. “My doctor actually uses me as an example for couples when they say they don’t have any contraception plans in place after the birth of their child.”
“I knew I was pregnant straight away because when I woke up it felt like I had been hit in the head with a baseball bat,” she added. “I took four pregnancy tests before one came back positive.”
Despite the shocking pregnancy, Curby and her partner, Ben, 38, still didn’t believe the doctor who told them they were expecting twins.
“When we found out Ben’s face just went white,” Curby said. “But for two or three weeks were in denial – we just thought the doctor was new and might not know.”
“Then I saw the obstetrician we had with Charlie and he confirmed it – I have never been so nervous in my life,” she added.
Curby said telling her family the big news made the couple even more nervous than ever before.
“I was really excited to tell them I knew they were going be way more shocked than I was,” Curby said. “When we went to dad and told him we had exciting news he thought we were going to get married.”
“Then when we said we were going for round two, with twins his face turned to horror,” she continued.
The young mom is now starting a blog to open up about what it’s really like having three children under the age of one.
“The other day I was walking down the street and people were staring at me like I was some kind of dog-walker but for kids,” Curby revealed. “I sat down at a cafe but had to leave because I was so embarrassed by all the staring.”
Because Curby has only been with Ben for two years, she jokes that “he has never known me not pregnant – at least I am not as emotional now.”
“We are a pretty good team so our relationship has been surprisingly fine with all these changes,” she said.
Curby says she is just now getting used to having three babies at home, but she’s loving every minute of it.
“It is like I have had to start all over again. But now it is just everything in threes, three bibs, three baby seats – three everything,” she said.

Per reports, the young woman, Hayden, thought that her dog, Jackson, had been bitten by bugs. Unfortunately, she made a stunning discovery when she took a closer look.
“He had some marks on him and we thought they were bug bites and stuff. But then Saturday night I started noticing holes on him,” she said. “I was in shock, I didn’t even know what to think.” Jackson was shaved at the vet, and veterinarians discovered dozens of punctures.
The veterinarian reportedly before removed 20 pellets and seven BBs. The woman’s neighbor, Tim, was arrested for drug charges, and police believe that he was the one who attacked the puppy. A BB gun and pellets were recovered at his home and investigators are awaiting laboratory tests to match them to Jackson’s injuries.
20 more pellets are still lodged in Jackson’s body, and 20 more bounced off his skin. Marijuana, methamphetamines, and drug paraphernalia were recovered from the man’s home, but he was not charged with animal cruelty. However, police hope to charge him with animal cruelty soon.
The local police department stated that the attack on Jackson was the worst animal cruelty case he had ever seen. “I have never seen an animal shot that many times. It’s a very bad case and it’s sad to see,” Assistant Chief Craig said, adding that he believed that Woodward was on drugs during the attack. Dear readers, we are republishing this story in light of recent reports that indicate animal cruelty cases have spiked since the beginning of 2022.

But the truth is, their crusade is putting their kids and other kids at risk of catching diseases that could potentially threaten their lives.

Female student and self-described public activist, Anna, didn’t quite deliver the message she intended with her controversial video, which she’d captioned: “This video is ‘dedicated’ to all who love to peek under skirts. On the behalf all women who became your victims – here, look! And stay away from us.”
The video starts with Anna getting comfortable in a train station, standing in the middle of the busy gangways. She then lifts up her skirt to expose her underwear. This sparks confusion, and it’s unclear how the student from Russia was hoping this move would help stop upskirting.
With over 1.4 million views, the video has yet to receive the expected response. One person commented: “Someone looked under your skirt and saw your underwear. What is humiliating and insulting in this?” Another wrote: “W***** themselves provoke this. Normal honest girls do not behave like this.”
Some appreciated the video, but for an entirely different reason. “This is my favorite video manifesto,” one commenter wrote, while another stated: “Great ass!” “It sure is getting hot in my room,” a third comment read. Dear readers, we are republishing this story amid recent reports that suggest many US states are recording record highs in se-ual assault incidents.
According to the statement, the 27-year-old mother, Jessica, reportedly subjected her 3-year-old daughter to medical child abuse and lied to medical staff in an alleged case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Officials said that the mother reportedly had many unnecessary medical procedures performed on her daughter for an unknown amount of time. She was taken into custody on suspicion of injury to a child, according to reports.
Prosecutors said the 27-year-old woman reportedly falsified her 3-year-old daughter’s condition to medical providers, causing them to draw the child’s blood 28 times, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WFFA.
An investigation into Jessica’s alleged abuse began few months ago, when a doctor with the Children’s Hospital told authorities about suspected medical child abuse after learning Jessica had been seeing multiple doctors for her child at about a dozen medical facilities in three different states. The medical professionals reportedly accused Jessica of doctor shopping.
During one hospital visit in March, the 3-year-old was given a feeding tube after Jessica allegedly told medical staff that her child was not eating and losing weight, despite providing the girl with a sufficient amount of calories, the affidavit states. However, doctors became suspicious of Jessica because the child was still not gaining weight after some time. According to the affidavit, the mother also claimed her daughter had Ketotic Hypoglycemia, a blood sugar illness. In another instance, the mother and her daughter reportedly flew through a company called Miracle Flight, which provides flights to children with medical complications. She claimed her child had gastroparesis, a condition that prevents proper stomach emptying.
Several doctors later ruled out both of those diagnoses according to Fox 4 News. The affidavit states Jessica also created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to take her daughter for medical treatment. During the alleged abuse, authorities said Jessica chronicled her child’s health journey on social media. She had about 24,000 followers on TikTok, where she reportedly posted videos multiple times a day about the victim’s medical journey and frequently interacted with her viewers, per the affidavit.
Jessica reportedly made similar posts on her Facebook and Instagram accounts. Gasser is also accused of sending‘messages to a friend stating she would delete all social media posts about her child’s health, including private messages. The child is now thriving after months of separation from her mother according to the affidavit.
