New respect for the grunge (if they still call it that!) band Staind, whose singer interrupted a recent show to chastise spectators for molesting a crowd-surfing teen.
According to an article in Raw Story, Aaron Lewis was partway through a performance of Staind's "Something To Remind You," as part of Kansas City's Rockfest.
He didn't mince his words, either, calling out the offending parties as the girl carried on crowd-surfing:
“You f*cking mothers should be ashamed of themselves, you pieces of sh*t. You should all be f*cking beaten down by everyone around you for being f*cking pieces of sh*t. If I f*cking see that sh*t again, I swear to God, I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your f*cking *ss.”
Apparently, it's not the first time Lewis has spoken out. At X-fest he laid into a man for trying to pull down a young woman's sweatpants as she crowd-surfed.
Now that, my friends, is a fine example of #YesAllWomen. Mr Lewis, I may not appreciate your music, but know this—I am your new biggest fan. F*cking A.
Would you warn your teenage girls against crowd-surfing?
This popular singer quit crowd-surfing at her gigs for this very reason.
Another baby has died in a 'Nap Nanny.' This was the sixth fatality involving the previously recalled infant recliner.
According to an article in Yahoo, an eight-month-old girl from New Jersey suffocated after becoming stuck between the chair and crib bumper.
Parents are warned to steer clear of recalled products at yard sales and consignment stores.
“Our message to parents is clear: Stop using it. It’s dangerous,” said the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) Communications Director, Scott Wolfson. “There’s been six deaths already, and we don’t want another child to die unnecessarily.”
Some 165,000 'Nap Nanny' and 'Chill' recliners were sold between 2009 and 2012, and for a time following the recall the chair remained in stores. Baby Matters LLC insisted their product was safe when used according to its guidelines.
The company has been dissolved for two years now, but the deaths continue.
YMC regularly publishes recalls on baby and children's products.
Keep your babies safe. Please stay informed.
What is secondary drowning and how can you spot the signs? Drowning may be the leading cause of accidental death in children between one and four (via U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission), but what about close calls and near misses?
Lindsay Kujawa discovered that her son wasn't safe, even when he was out of the water.
According to an article in Today, Kujawa blogged about an incident in which her two-year-old son Ronin fell into the water. Fortunately, she was nearby and pulled him to safety.
He coughed up some water. But even over an hour later, the 28-year-old mom from California sensed that Ronin wasn't acting like himself.
“You know what your child is like when he’s tired and this was totally different,” she said of her son's listless state.
When Ronin began coughing again, Kujawa took him to the emergency room. An X-ray revealed fluid in his lungs, which presented symptoms similar to that of pneumonia. Kujawa, acting on her gut hunch, may have saved her son from secondary drowning.
Even though Ronin was lucky, Kujawa decided to share his story to give a heads up to parents who may someday find themselves in the same predicament.
