How A Face Transplant Transformed A Young Woman’s Life

We have all done something stupid when we were young, and have made decisions that we would regret later in life.

This is part and parcel of growing up, of maturing and learning how to be one’s own person.

These periods of trials and tribulations that come our way during our adolescence are undeniably challenging…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Yet the way we respond and handle these things are important – it informs just how we are shaped by adversity, and how we become better people.

Admittedly, persevering during these times of trouble is easier said than done, especially when you are still in your youth.

Not only is the situation already difficult in and of itself, but the brain of the adolescent is still developing.

The volatility of their emotions are at an all-time high, and the part of the brain responsible for regulating emotions is still trying to catch up.

In other words, these youth feel pain and suffering more deeply and more intensely, which is something that should not be simply dismissed.

This turmoil that one must face on the cusp of adulthood inevitably leads to these young adults making life-changing decisions.

In the case of Katie Stubblefield, it was an attempt at her own life.

When she was 18 years old in 2014, she discovered that her then boyfriend had been cheating on her.

She broke up with him, but that wasn’t the end of her troubles.

She soon had to undergo surgery for her chronic gastrointestinal problems, and shortly thereafter her mother’s job at the school Katie went to was suddenly terminated.

Overwhelmed and desperate, Katie took a gun and tried to commit suicide.

The attempt failed.

Instead of killing her, the shot shattered parts of her forehead and her cheekbones, and completely destroyed her nose and sinuses while leaving her brain completely exposed.

According to Dr Brian Gastman, who worked at Cleveland Clinic (the hospital that saved Katie’s life), the girl’s case was one of the worst face traumas he had ever come across.

The girl’s chances of survival were grim – with her brain exposed to the elements, she could die of infections or seizures.

Miraculously, the girl made it through and recovered.

It was, however, not without cost – she had essentially lost her entire face.

After proving to have survived, it brought up the question – should she attempt a face transplant?

After 20 surgeries to save her life, Katie decided that she wanted to undergo such a procedure, should the opportunity arise.

Now 22-years-old, she is a very different person who had no memory of the suicide attempt, and is horrified at the trauma she had put her parents through.

At this age, she also happens to be the youngest person in the world to undergo a full face transplant.

Despite all the concerns and the problems that Katie and her medical team had to work through, Katie once again has a face.

She will still have to undergo some physical therapy to relearn eating and talking, but it truly is a miracle to see just how far she’s come

Man who indecently assaulted 4 girls walked free when the judge explained to the victims why ‘jail isn’t appropriate’!

According to the court documents, the 20-year-old defendant, Christopher, pleaded guilty to ra-ing one young girl and se-ually abusing three others over the course of a year.

But, unfortunately,, thanks to the judge’s sympathy, he won’t even set foot inside of a prison cell for any of his crimes. The victims of the defendant are tormented by the fact that their se-ual abuser will not be jailed for his actions. The defendant was formally charged with first-degree ra-e, third-degree ra-e, and se-ual abuse involving multiple minors when he was only 17 years old.

The abuse occurred over the course of a year at his home. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree se* abuse, third-degree attempted abuse, and third-degree ra-e.

Per reports, Judge Murphy said in front of Belter and his victims that he agonized over whether or not to imprison the rapist. He then announced that Belter would receive no jail time and just eight years of probation for his crimes because jailing him wouldn’t be an appropriate sentence…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Judge Murphy went on to say that he came to his decision based on the ra-ist’s age at the time of the crimes. The defendant was 16 or 17 when he ra-ed a teen girl and se-ually abused three others, whose ages ranged from 15 to 16 years. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I agonized — I’m not ashamed to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case. because there was great pain. There was great harm — There were multiple crimes committed in the case,” Judge Murphy explained. “It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn’t appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation.” Although the defendant is required to register as a se* offender, he received a sentence of two years interim probation which, if completed, will earn him Youthful Offender status. His probation restrictions include no contact with minors, living with his parents, employment or full-time student status, and no internet. “It’s going to be like a sword hanging over your head for the next eight years,” Judge Murphy remarked.

Christopher’s victims learned in court that he would receive no jail time. Understandably, they were stunned and disgusted with the judge’s decision.

One of the victim’s attorneys attributed the merciful sentence to Christopher’s race and economic status. “I am deeply, deeply disappointed. I expected a different outcome today,” declared Cohen, attorney. “Justice was not done today. He is privileged. He comes from money. He is white. He was sentenced as an adult, appropriately — for an adult to get away with these crimes is unjust.”

According to the court documents, the 50-year-old disabled woman, Asenka, was reportedly charged with murder for allegedly killing her mother.

The woman appeared in court and had an interesting request for the judge. Per reports, Asenka was charged with the murder of her 75-year-old mother at the home they shared and then dug a grave for her in the backyard.

She was brought into the court in a wheelchair, where she requested ‘the unexpexted’. Among the many people who commented about this incident, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants.”

Per reports, the 50-year-old woman reportedly said: “I want the death penalty. Lethal injection, please. The court does not want me alive, and neither do I.” She had reportedly told detectives that her mother, Carole, abused her physically over the years. When they fought the previous week, she punched her mother in the head and she passed away…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

The woman then spent the rest of the day digging a grave, stopping when she became exhausted. She later went to a neighbor’s house to say her mother had died, with the neighbor calling 911 to request a welfare check. When police arrived, they found the victim’s body in the bedroom and a hole in the ground several feet deep.

Police reviewed Asenka’s phone to discover she had taken photos after her mother’s killing, including injuries to her hands and arms that she allegedly sustained during ther fight. Prosecutors noted that the victim had obtained a restraining order against Asenka last year and filed to renew it, but the order was dropped when they didn’t appear at the court hearing. Asenka’s attorney argued that his client was afraid of her mother because of the alleged abuse, but a friend of the victim that the older woman was very petite and said she had talked about her daughter’s mental health problems.

Among the many people who commented about the murder case, one person remarked: “Give her what she wants. I know they can do it and quickly because years ago a man who had killed and abused two boys asked to be hanged and he was within the year.” Another commenter added: “How sweet of her to tell the court what she wants. Her mother didn’t have a choice and I presume she didn’t want to be murdered. Let her go crazy and rot in a cell.” One commenter agreed, noting: “Too easy! Let her suffer for the rest of her life for what she did. I suspect the wheelchair is a prop!”
