Being born with a deformity is one thing but being rejected by your mother because of those deformities is a whole other matter. That was exactly what happened to little Gabe. He was just a few days old when he lost everything.

He was born in Brazil, and when he was only two days old, his mother left him at an orphanage. When the mother saw him, she was disappointed and decided to abandon him…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

There he was, lying alone in a hospital bed all day. Gabe’s condition meant that his chance of being adopted was merely nothing. But one mother would soon change everything. 19 years ago Gabe was born in Brazil, without any arms or legs.

The doctors soon realized that he had a rare condition called Hanhart syndrome, characterised by underdeveloped limbs, mouth and jaw. In Gabe’s case none of his limbs grew at all.

According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, the Hanhart syndrome is a rare birth defect with no known cause.

Gabe’s birth mother didn’t want him, so she left him there at the hospital.

Gabe’s future looked bleak. He seemed destined to a lonely life confined to a hospital bed. The chances of him being adopted were very small, because he didn’t look like the other children at all.

But one day in the United States, Janelle Adams saw Gabe’s picture in a supermarket and decided that she wanted to help him.

Many people who passed the picture must have felt the same way, but Janelle couldn’t get the toddler out of her mind.

Instinctively, Janelle knew she wanted to give this child a home.Janelle and her husband, who live in Ohio, already had 13 children, adding Gabe to the family wasn’t an easy decision.

“We had our concerns, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the sweet little boy so far away without arms, legs or a family,” Janelle told Today.

But finally, Janelle managed to track down the oprhanage where Gabe lived and set the adoption process into motion.

The adoption didn’t move quickly, but after the paperwork was finished, Janelle and her husband, Ron, were finally able to go the airport and pick up their long-awaited son.It was love at first sight. Gabe arrived when he was an infant and absolutely thrived with his family.

From a young age Gabe started using a wheelchair but his parents were determined that their son would be as independent as possible.

When he was 12 years old, Gabe could do almost everything that other children his age could do, despite his disabilities.

He could dress himself, walk, eat, and swim. And he could even walk up stairs without help.

“I can do it, and I can do it with a smile”, says Gabe. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

At school Gabe tried out for the dance team as a way of making friends – discovering he could use his limbless body to his advantage in the art of break dancing.

After graduating from high school Gabe has continued to prove his independence, moving out of the family home and embarking on a career as a motivational speaker.

The boy’s parents wanted him to become independent and not need to depend on others his whole life.

“It has always been our goal to allow Gabe freedom and choices, that we know it will only come if he can independent,” says Gabe’s father.

But it hasn’t been easy.

While his siblings experience of school was more atypical – proms, sports teams and dating, for Gabe it was a daily onslaught of cruel comments and bullying.

“I was in the art class one time and our art teacher told us to critique our neighbour’s artwork. This kid said to me: ‘It looks like God made a mistake on you’. I went home that day and I was crushed. I couldn’t get that out of my head”, Gabe told Barcroft TV.

When the Adams family adopted Gabe, they thought they were just saving him from a lonely life in a hospital bed.

But they quickly realized that it was Gabe who saved them. He’s taught them about what’s actually important in life. And he’s taught them to work harder and never give up.

“I hated my parents for making me going through all that hard work, but now I look at them and celebrate that they pushed me to be independent and be the person that they knew I could be”, Gabe said.

From the beginning, Janelle and Ron treated Gabe as their own. And the more the boy learned to manage himself, the more independent he became.Since becoming a part of his high school dance team, Gabe has gone on to compete in a dance competition, placing second and even appeared on the Maury Show.

And as his confidence as a dancer has grown, Gabe is now pursuing a career as a motivational speaker.

“I’ve been doing speaking for almost four years now and it’s pretty crazy with all the places that I’ve been able to go to and meet so many amazing people and hear their stories and hear how I’ve been able to help them”, he said.

Gabe is a real fighter who spreads joy to everyone he meets. This remarkable young man has become an inspiration to everyone he meets.

Please share Gabe’s story with your friends on Facebook if you were also inspired by his winning attitude!

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
