- Police have arrested a South Korean couple whose toddler starved to death while they were raising a virtual child online, authorities said. The couple fed their 3-month-old daughter once a day between marathon stretches in a local Internet cafe, where they were raising a virtual child in the fantasy role-playing game Prius Online, police told local reporters Friday.
- A 2-year-old boy who suffered third-degree burns on his upper body after igniting his clothes with a lighter remains in UNC Hospitals Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill. According to warrants, the child lit himself on fire with a lighter after his parents allegedly smoked marijuana.
- The North Metro Task Force says an 11-year-old boy shot himself in the foot after his father used him to guard a medical- marijuana operation. "I think the 11- year-old was protecting the marijuana grow," said task force spokesman Jerry Peters. "It's a lucrative business."

ReplyDeleteAre you scouring your old employer for weird news? Other than the South Korea one that one made CNN. You did work for the Rhino Times right? If not my bad and are you scouring the Rhino Times for weird news?
ReplyDeleteHuh? The only previous employer included in those stories was The Times-News and I still read that paper since it reports on stuff in my area. The other two were CNN and Denver Post.
