They raped teen who sneaked out of her home, cops say. Mom found her unconscious body
A Georgia mother woke up one morning to find her 16-year-old daughter unconscious with leaves in her hair and urine on her clothes. The unidentified teen sneaked out of her family's house on April 18 to meet up with Arni Jared Andrade Chavez, her 20-year-old boyfriend, and Josue Rodriguez, 18, police told 11Alive. Now criminal charges against the two men are coming to light. Gwinnett County Detective J.D.

Rodriguez offered the girl a 12-ounce bottle of vodka, police say, and she became unconscious

A new supervolcano is brewing under Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire
Something unexpected has been gradually making itself known to geologists in the United States. A huge mass of molten rock is creeping upwards beneath the nation’s north eastern states. “The upwelling we detected is like a hot-air balloon, and we infer that something is rising up through the deeper part of our planet under New England,” says Rutgers University geophysicist Professor Vadim Levin. Traces of the brooding mass only became evident through a large-scale new seismic study. The idea that there may be a super volcano brewing under Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire is something of a surprise. “Our study challenges the established notion of how the continents on which we live behave,”

A tourist tried to pat a wild lion on the head - and it's safe to say the lion was not impressed
Sorry folks, but it's time for some tough love. Stop. Messing. With. Wild. Animals. For real. We can't believe we're publishing yet another story of some random tourist being exceedingly idiotic while on vacation. This time around, a video on YouTube has emerged showing a person attempting to pat a lion from inside the window of a car. Let's just say the lion was not impressed. Shot in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, the short flick had more than 1.2 million views at the time of publication.

Disturbing Photo Reminds Us Why We Must Teach Children Compassion for Animals
It is always said that children are the future and we must teach them well so they can grow up and become leaders of a better tomorrow. Animals who are considered livestock are abused, tortured, and neglected on factory farms, but this is not the only way they are exploited by people. Rodeos, county fairs, and similar events routinely exploit farm animals in the name of “entertainment” or “sport.” From “pig scrambles” to sheep races to hogtying animals, children are taught that animals are objects to be used and abused however individuals like. In the following image shared by Unparalleled Suffering Photography on Facebook, we see a young boy kneeling down in an arena as he rushes to hogtie a terrified baby goat.

'It's heartbreaking': A Texas landowner who sees immigrants cross through her property regularly says she's horrified by Trump's border policies
MCALLEN, TEXAS - Ana's family has owned a small plot of land along the US-Mexico border in Texas for generations. For years, they've watched as immigrants crossed the Rio Grande River and passed through their property just a quarter of a mile away. But lately, the immigrants have been traveling a little differently. Ana, who asked to be identified by only her first name, said they now arrive in the US as family units rather than as individual adults, sometimes with very young children in tow. The immigrants are never dangerous, she says. Often they'll beg her for water or ask for directions. Sometimes it appears that the so-called coyotes who smuggled them across the border have lied, telling

Two young girls, 2 and 4, witnessed in horror as their father was shot and killed while on a camping trip in Southern California, according to reports.

He worked as a scientist for a pharmaceutical company and he and his wife were about to move to the Bay Area. “And then
