Of all the crimes that a person can commit, sexual abuse of your own child is considered one of the most heinous.

Instead of protecting those placed in your care, you exploit their trust and vulnerability.

Usually, when a parent or caregiver is found guilty of sexually abusing the child they were supposed to take care of, you’d expect them to rot in jail…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Sadly, that was not the case for a 14-year-old girl and her 41-year-old adoptive father, who was found guilty of rape.

The way David Richards got away with his crimes has angered many people.

A Reduced Sentence

In Knox County, Tennessee, the prosecution wanted David to spend 72 years in prison for molesting his adoptive daughter.

However, he was given a reduced sentence. It was not because David showed remorse and regret. His sentence was reduced because the judge liked that David was a pastor.

As a result, Judge Steve Sword sentenced David to 12 years in jail.

He effectively got 60 years shaved off his sentence despite being found guilty of nine counts of felony.

Reports indicate that Judge Sword said that the Bible study David started in jail and his work as a pastor led to reducing the sentence.

As per the Knoxville News Sentinel, David’s nine felony convictions included sexual battery by an authority figure, rape, and incest.

Amber Spoke Up

Most of the time, sexual abuse victims prefer not to be identified if they come forward about their experiences.

Amber was brave, though, and decided that she would not remain quiet. David abused her for two years, and it started when she was only 14 years old.

She wanted to stand up and share her story in the hopes of saving others from the same fate.

The teen admitted that what happened made her hate her own body, and she felt horrible about it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I wanted to throw my body away. Not a day goes by that I don’t, in some way, think of what he did to me.”

Amber is convinced that if given a chance, David would sexually abuse another girl.

“I firmly believe if given the opportunity, he would victimize another girl.”

“I’m just glad that I can finally move on with my life. And I didn’t really do this for me. I did it, so it didn’t happen to anybody else. and so nobody else is in the same situation as I am, especially amazing kids.”

Bravely, she added:

“They don’t deserve to go through things like that, and if I had to be the one to make sure that it never happens again, then I would want to do that.”

David Said He’s Innocent

The pastor insisted that he is not guilty of the crimes he was convicted of. He stated that Amber made the claims because she is a ‘defiant teenager’ and didn’t like the strict rules he enforced in his home.

However, when forensic testing was done during the investigation into the accusation, traces of David’s semen were found on Amber’s bed frame.

Still, he maintains his innocence.

“I stand before you convicted of crimes I did not commit. I simply believe the system just erred in this case. I’m not sure why I’m here… but I assume it’s for His (God’s) purpose.”

David Thompson, a fellow pastor, believes in his friend’s innocence.

“I find it impossible for me to believe he’s guilty of this. His business needs him. His family needs him. Our church needs him.”

Those who have followed the case hope that the teenager will rebuild her life, even if the justice system failed.

When You See A Girl With These Type Of Legs This Is What It Means

Genu valgum describes a knee arrangement in which a child (or adult) stands with their knees together but their feet and lower legs apart. Bandylegs (genu varum) is the abnormal condition in which a person stands with their feet and lower legs together but a space between their knees.

Measurements of the shinbone’s articulation point with the thighbone (tibiofemoral point) or the shin-to-shin distance are commonly used to evaluate a shaky knee (intermalleolar distance) (intermalleolar distance). Photos or x-rays can be used to make these estimations in some cases…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

A frequent aspect of a kid’s existence is pounding knees (and pigeon toes, for that matter) (and pigeon toes, for that matter). Knee alignment in Caucasian kids typically goes from bent at birth to straight at age 2, then to thudding at age 4, and finally to straight again between the ages of 6 and 11.

Why do people with neurotic thump knees have them?

Adjusted muscle force on the bones can cause obsessive thump knees in a few neurological diseases, such as cerebral paralysis or spina bifida.

As a result, beating the knees incessantly may be an indication of something more serious going on below the surface. Adolescents can suffer a major setback if they develop rickets or another bone disease caused by improper mineralization. Neurotic thump knees are often associated with being short or having other bone or joint misalignment. Possible causes include metabolic bone disorder and skeletal dysplasia.

 

 

There is a correlation between childhood obesity and a more severe case of thump knees in children who also have flat feet and hypermobile (very pliable) joints.

In your opinion, should they be taken to the hospital for treatment?

Typically, parents bring their child in for their first medical checkup because they are concerned about how their child looks when they are upright or walking. Children that have physiological knock knees will eventually grow out of the condition and don’t need any therapy or follow-up exams.

Knee supports and foot orthotics for adults with excruciating osteoarthritis related to thump knees may be helpful. For youngsters, activities and get-healthy regimens to lower weight and encourage knee development may be beneficial. Nonetheless, there is now inadequate reasonable evidence to support the use of such therapies.

Those with severe or debilitating neurotic thump knees may require a muscle medical procedure to address the knee arrangement if they are in constant pain or are otherwise severely impaired.

The perfect pink sausage, grilled, placed inside a hot bun, with pimpled cabbage, mustard, and ketchup. Ahhh.. wonderful and delicious childhood memories.

But as it turns out, and most likely we are not revealing anything new to you – hot dogs are not healthy for you.

According to LiveStrong, they are high in fat (and not the good kind), have high levels of
cholesterol, contain large amounts of salt, and stay ‘fresh’ because of many preservatives.

This meat product contains additives that may cause botulism, they extend the shelf life of the product and give it the pink color (otherwise they would be gray). We call these ‘helpful’ additives nitrites,
and they are dangerous, harmful and sometimes even fatal. LiveStrong explains that nitrites
are associated with an increase in the risk of getting cancer – with the risk being 9 times greater in children who consume more than 12 hot dogs per month.

The Daily Health Post shared the findings of hot dog
consumption in studies conducted:

“Children who ate hot dogs once or more during the week were at a higher risk of getting brain cancer”.

“Children of fathers who consumed more than 12 hot dogs a month before they were born had a higher risk of getting blood cancer”. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs once or more during a week during pregnancy had a higher risk of developing brain tumors”.

Think hot dogs were born the way they look? Definately not! Before they get to their plate they go through a lot.

We may feel nostalgia associated with their taste, but unfortunately, there are many hidden things, much more than people realize. If you still choose to eat hot dogs and also let your children eat them,
