Little Boy Doesn’t Let Anyone into His Room until Policeman Arrives and Steps Inside

The little boy didn’t let anyone into his room until the policemen arrived and stepped inside. Paige Bailey had observed that the boy who lived next door always spent all day outdoors. If he was not riding a bike, he was skating or talking with other boys his age.

That was all normal child behavior, but the odd thing was that when the other boys got called home for dinner by their moms, only the boy was left on the street. He didn’t seem to mind much and would simply shrug his shoulders and keep on riding his bike to and fro by himself with his ever-present hat screwed on backward…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Something didn’t look right, and Paige was not about to let it go without an investigation. So one evening, she put on her coat and hat and went for a walk that took her to the local police precinct.

Once there, she walked up to the desk sergeant and offered a greeting. “Good morning, officer,” she said with genuine cheer. The man who had gotten accustomed to people visiting the police station with bony faces was stunned, but he smiled back uneasily.

“Good day to you, ma’am,” he said. Paige shook her head. “Correct me if I’m wrong, officer, but back in my day, the police were the people to see when things seemed awry. And right now, something doesn’t seem right. Not that there’s some criminal going on or anything.

The cop scratched his head as he thought about it, then he beckoned to one of his colleagues, Officer John Leon. John took Paige to the officer’s mess room where he sat her down and asked her to tell him everything. “Well, there’s not really much to tell,” she began. “There’s this boy, Seth Martin, a good boy to be sure, and he never misses a day of school and all. But when it’s time to go in for dinner, he remains on the street all by himself.

She paused to hear the officer’s input, but he just kept mute, encouraging her to continue. “And I’m just wondering, maybe he stays back on the street because something terrible awaits him at home, or there’s nobody at home at all. We can both agree that he’s not old enough to be on his own.” John took a few moments to consider her words, then he spoke. “I agree that something is definitely off here, Mrs.

Bailey,” he said. “But not to worry, I won’t rest till I get to the bottom of this.” The officer first visited Seth’s school, where he discovered that the boy never skipped classes and always turned in his assignments long before the deadline. Above all, his teachers referred to him as quiet and unassuming. Seth’s colleagues thought he was cool and great at playing games, but he allegedly never invited anyone to his home.

Word was none of his classmates had ever walked into his room. According to the school principal, Seth moved to town with his mother from Alabama three months before. Seth’s mom, Linda, came off as a pleasant, hard-working woman doing a pretty good job of bringing up her 13-year-old son by herself. Officer John’s next step was to go visit Seth’s home immediately after he knew their school would close. Seth, already growing into his height as a man, answered the door and stood there deliberately blocking John’s view into the house.

“Good afternoon, officer,” the boy said with a straight face. “Good day, boy,” John replied, smiling. “I’m Officer John Leon. Is your mother around, Seth?” “I’m sorry, Officer John, but my mom’s not home at the moment,” he said.

“Okay,” John said. “Would you mind if I step in for a moment?” “I hope you have a search warrant,” Seth said sharply. “No, of course not. This is not a criminal investigation,” said the stunned officer. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Well, I follow Law and Order with my mom. It’s our favorite show, so I know you can’t come in without a warrant if I don’t want you to.” John shook his head. “I’m not here for trouble, Seth. I just want to make sure all is well with you.

“Everything is as it should be,” the boy cried. “Why shouldn’t it be well?” “When children avoid going home for dinner, it’s sometimes because they’re afraid or perhaps because something is awry,” John said gently. “I just want you to know that if something isn’t right, you can come to me.” Seth blessed, and he said, “I just enjoy riding on the street when it’s quiet and less crowded.

“Okay, that’s all,” John nodded. “I can certainly understand that feeling. Sometimes when I’m on a late patrol and I’m the only person alive on the streets, it feels pretty cool.” Seth smiled. “Exactly.

And when mom’s gone, your mom’s away.” John finally hit gold, and Seth kneels. The boy hung his head as he answered, “Yes, she’s had to constantly go back to Alabama these past few weeks because Granny broke her leg, and my grandpa has Alzheimer’s.” Then he straightened his shoulders. “But I’m doing just fine on my own.

“I can see that you are, Seth. You’re a good boy. Do you mind if I come in?” John asked. Seth let him in after hesitating for some time, and John saw that the house had been barely furnished.

All Seth had for sleeping was a mattress on the floor in his room. “Mom was going to get some furniture,” Seth said when he saw the look on John’s face. “But then Grandma fell sick.” “It’s okay, Officer John said, interrupting him. “I understand.

But listen, your mom clearly has no other option, and I don’t want to get her into trouble. So how about I visit you every night to fix her dinner while you sleep at Mrs. Bailey’s house?” The boy reluctantly agreed, and for the week that followed, the officer visited him after work to make him dinner, check his assignments, and make sure he went next door to Paige’s house to sleep in her spare room. “Mom will be arriving tomorrow,” Seth told John one evening, “and this time she’s coming home to stay.

“That’s great,” said John with a smile. “Would you like to help me set up a surprise for her?” “A surprise?” Seth asked. “What sort of surprise?

In reply, John led him outside, and parked in front of the boy’s house was a truck which contained all sorts of presents, including a bed for Jock, a TV, table and chairs, and all sorts of things John thought women would fancy.

By the time Seth’s mom returned from Alabama the following day, the house had been transformed into a cozy haven. It looked so different Seth’s mother was sure she had walked into the wrong home. But as she was about to head back out, Seth, John, and Paige screamed, “Welcome home!” then materialized out of the boy’s room.

Seth introduced his mom to the officer, who explained everything to her. And from that moment on, Seth and Linda had two new friends they could count on.

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 .
