BOY Sleeps In Backyard Tent For 3 Years Until Neighbors Realize Something’s Wrong

Published

The neighbors couldn’t believe their eyes when they looked through their upstairs bedroom window. They were appalled; there was a tent in their neighbor’s backyard. Whoever was inside it had them calling the authorities. They wanted to get their neighbors arrested for what they were doing and they refused to stop until they were forced to leave the neighborhood for good.

It was a quiet afternoon for the residents of Holly Springs in North Carolina. Doug Jennings was a retired police chief of the Holly Springs Police Department. Since retiring, he spent his days birdwatching and serving as the leader of their local neighborhood watch patrol. He enjoyed it, proud that he could still serve his community in some way…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

 

Holly Springs was a pretty safe area, but Doug wanted his neighbors to know that they could always count on him whenever any emergencies popped up. After all, he did have a direct link to the police. But Doug had no idea that there was someone who desperately needed his help. He never expected to uncover something that would cause a stir in his entire neighborhood. His neighbors would be asking questions about just who lived in their beloved community.

 

Everyone who lived on Springside Drive knew each other. Whenever Doug spotted someone leaving their home to go to work or just tending their gardens, he would wave at them politely. But there was one family that usually kept to themselves. This family lived right next door to Doug, and they had a son, Jamie, who was friendly but reserved and shy.

 

The Hamils were from Raleigh, and they had only been in Holly Springs for a few months. On the day they moved in, Doug and Ruth took a cherry pie that Ruth had baked. When they knocked, Mrs. Hamil opened the door only slightly. It was clear to Doug that she didn’t want them to see the inside of the house. Perhaps the house was messy from unpacking, but Doug happened to catch a glimpse of something inside the house, and he instantly knew that he had to keep an eye on his new neighbors.

 

As the couple was heading back to their home, Doug looked up and spotted Jamie staring from an upstairs window. He waved at him with a friendly smile on his face. Jamie responded with half a smile, but his face was somber. Doug decided just then and there that he was going to make it his personal mission to look out for Jamie. He asked Ruth to keep sending food over to their house. Doug could feel in his gut something was not right with his new neighbors.

 

One afternoon, while Doug was doing his usual rounds in the neighborhood, he spotted Jamie walking down the street with shopping bags in his hands. He was looking down at his feet when he noticed Doug approaching. He didn’t want to talk to him, but Doug wanted to make sure that what he sensed was just a simple mistake Jamie refused to make eye contact.

 

After spending 40 years in the police force, Doug had seen cases like these many times before. He was hoping that what he was seeing wasn’t one of those cases, that Jamie was just another shy teenager who wanted to be left alone. But why did he insist on avoiding Doug? Once Doug reached him, he offered to help carry the groceries. Jamie appeared to be embarrassed by the officer but reluctantly obliged, and they walked the short distance to his house.

 

The bags were heavy, and Doug couldn’t help but take a look inside one of the bags. What he saw upset him. The bags were filled with cigarettes and alcohol; the only food was a few boxes of microwavable meals. Doug was getting upset, and this prompted him to ask Jamie if he was okay and where he had gotten the alcohol from. After all, he was only 14.

 

Jamie shrugged and mumbled out an answer about it being something he had collected from his parents’ friend, and he didn’t purchase it himself. Doug believed him for the most part, but he knew he needed to do some more digging. He decided the only way to really get to know these people was to invite them over for dinner. They could then check their behavior and see how they acted.

 

“Why don’t you and your parents join us for dinner tonight?” Jamie looked noticeably nervous and stood still as he contemplated what to do. By now, Doug knew that his instincts were right. “I don’t think my parents will come; they’re always busy. But I’ll come if you’ll have me.”

Doug saw a little light in Jamie’s eyes. “Of course, you’re welcome in our home anytime.” Doug left the alcohol-filled bag on the porch and walked off home. He wanted Ruth to make an extra special meal just for Jamie. Just as the clock struck 6, Jamie was on their porch ringing the doorbell.

 

The Jennings were impressed by the young man’s punctuality. When they opened the door to receive him, Doug couldn’t believe his eyes. Jamie was dressed in his Sunday best and looked a far cry from how he had looked a few hours ago. What was going on? They ushered him in, and his face lit up when he saw how beautifully the dinner table was set up. It was like he saw everything for the first time.

Doug watched closely; he needed to see the signs before he could turn into a detective again. Jamie seemed incredibly happy to be having dinner with them. Before Doug and Ruth could ask him any questions, he was hungrily wolfing down the roast chicken and potatoes. That was one of the signs that Doug had noted down. It seemed like the kid had not had a decent meal in ages. He looked at Ruth, and she immediately knew what Doug was thinking.

 

When it was dessert time, Ruth dished him a hearty bowl of peach cobbler and cream. Jamie couldn’t believe that he was eating all of his favorite foods. Ruth decided to ask him a few questions. “How often does your mom cook for you, dear?” With that, Jamie froze up, and the Jennings knew that they had overstepped the mark.

 

“I think I need to go, thank you so much for this delicious meal.” Before Ruth could say anything about packing him some leftovers, he was out the door. Doug felt like he now had enough signs for him to begin to monitor the house and watch over Jamie. Something was wrong in the Hamil house, and he was going to find out what it was.

The next day, Ruth packed the leftover chicken, potatoes, and peach cobbler into containers for Jamie. Doug was going to take it over; he was going to look inside the house this time, no matter what. He needed to see what was going on inside and what Jamie’s parents were doing. Their child seemed neglected in some way, and Doug had seen some bad cases in his day. He was not going to let another child suffer.

 

He walked on the creaky porch; the house hadn’t even been painted since they moved in. They had left everything to decay, including the front garden. He knocked three times until Mr. Hamil finally opened the door. He looked worse for wear, like he had just awakened from a deep sleep, but a glint in his eyes told Doug the only thing he’d find here was trouble.

“What do you want, old man?” he asked drowsily.

“Morning, neighbor. Just wanted to give this to Jamie; he left without his leftovers last night.” Doug could see the red anger simmering in Mr. Hamil’s irises. He looked like the devil himself. He took the containers and said, “Jamie wasn’t home,” and proceeded to shut the door. Doug left but made sure to look up at the window. Jamie wasn’t there; he must be at school, then Doug thought.

 

He continued to do his rounds around the neighborhood. When it was 3:00 p.m., he sat on his porch, expecting to see Jamie walking home like the rest of the kids, but he never came. Doug realized that Mr. Ham must have lied to him. Where was Jamie? Was he safe? READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

 

Doug discussed his concerns with Ruth that night. He just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong and that Jamie needed them. That night he didn’t sleep a wink; he stayed up thinking about whether Jamie was all right and if inviting him to dinner caused a problem in his household.

 

The next day, Doug was basically a zombie, but he promised Ruth he would go to Lowe’s to get a new outdoor couch for their porch. He dragged his feet through the aisles, trying to find the perfect couch. As he turned a corner, he spotted Jamie. Thankfully, he was okay, but Doug noticed he was buying a tent.

“Going camping, son?” Doug inquired curiously.

Jamie looked startled, and Doug sheepishly backed away, showing him that he meant no harm. “Yes, my dad and I are going,” but Doug could see that it was a lie. There was no way a guy like his dad was taking him camping. Doug said goodbye and went on his way.

 

That night, Doug lay awake in his bed. He couldn’t stop thinking about this strange encounter he had with Jamie. He got up and went to the window for some fresh air, and that’s when he saw it. He was looking straight into the Hamils’ backyard, and in the middle was Jamie, rolling out a sleeping bag to put in his newly acquired tent.

Doug instantly woke Ruth to come and see what he was seeing. They remained quiet; they didn’t want the boy to know they were watching him. He was wearing a thick jacket; it was freezing outside, and Doug was furious that this young boy was made to sleep outside in freezing temperatures in a tent. There was no way Doug was going to leave this.

 

At the crack of dawn, he marched next door. He hammered so hard on the door that the other neighbors came running out to see what was going on. In turn, Jamie also appeared from the side gate to see what the commotion was about. Jamie was holding Doug back, begging him to leave and go back home and not interfere, but Doug couldn’t. He could see the boy was neglected and malnourished; he was living outside. Something had to be done.

 

He kicked down the door, and out wafted a smell so bad he had to hold in a wretch while covering his mouth and nose with his arm. The windows were blacked out, and all the walls were covered in soundproofing. The Hamils were each passed out on living room couches. The house looked like a tornado had hit it. This was clearly not a place for any child, and the police and child services were swiftly called in.

 

The Hamils were taken into custody for child abuse and neglect. But as Doug would soon learn, this would only be the start of their long list of questionable behaviors and activities. Through his connection with the department, Doug was able to learn more about Jamie’s parents. What he found more than shocked him.

 

Jaime’s parents had a long history of drug abuse, which had landed them in trouble in more than three cities across the Midwest. Additionally, they were on the run from several loaning companies looking for them, some of which had lent them thousands of dollars. But that was the least of their atrocities. The two had formed a Bonnie and Clyde duo over the last decade.

Right before they had Jamie, their criminal record detailed the many small diners, convenience stores, and food trucks that had fallen victim to their wrath. But over the last few years, they had seemingly stopped their nefarious activities, seemingly focusing their energy on Jamie. And not in the best way.

 

The two didn’t have their son’s best interest in mind. A few of their neighbors from the many places they lived had called the authorities on them. But the two had always seemed to be a step ahead; they would skip town so as not to draw attention to their bad habits. But their day had finally come.

 

Jaime’s parents already had a long list of felonies that they had been avoiding for years when the authorities brought them in. But now they were also facing child abuse and neglect charges. Judging from the staging amount of evidence, even they knew they would be going away for a very long time.

 

But how did they feel about leaving their boy behind? The two couldn’t care less about Jamie. In fact, they cursed him out for leading the police to them and promised Doug he’d regret ever crossing their path. Jamie watched silently as the squad cars drove away from his house with his parents in tow. Although they’d not been the best parents, they were still his dad and mom. But now he needed to start living his life.

 

Jamie had been living outside for a few months when they moved in and 3 years previously before Doug uncovered the truth. He just couldn’t bear living with a putrid stench inside his parents’ home. It was even worse because he felt like he couldn’t talk to anyone about his issues. He tried before but had soon found out that there were dire consequences for such actions.

 

His parents decided to punish him by not giving him regular meals. They would order in and finish most of the food before Jamie got to eating. Once he’d tried to talk to a local convenience store owner looking for a job. He had hoped to find a way to feed himself and buy some supplies for the house, but his parents beat him to the punch. They reprimanded the store owner for talking to their son, claiming Jamie was mentally ill. They also said they were perfectly capable of looking after him and even warned the owner not to speak with him again.

 

Of course, the owner phoned the authorities, but they found that the whole family had moved when they reached Jaime’s house. Doug and his wife decided to take Jamie in after his traumatic childhood. He was glad he could finally live a normal life. Doug enrolled him in the local school while his wife was sure to fill his stomach with all the delicacies he craved.

 

Doug was honored for his heroism while Jamie was promised a lifetime of love and attention. But as the months passed, Jamie decided he needed to step up. Jaime had already wondered what he wanted to be growing up. He’d considered teaching or being a banker; he’d even considered being a fireman once. But after witnessing what Doug did for him, it was clear that there was only one calling worthy of his time on Earth.

 

Yes, Jamie wanted to be a police officer. Now an older man, Doug was delighted when he got the news. Jamie shared how, through him, he had a better teenage life than he would if Doug weren’t in the picture. He talked about how many other kids out there needed the same help that he needed. To him, the best way to honor Doug would be to join the force and serve the way Doug had served.

Jamie didn’t waste any time chasing his dream. After graduating high school, he went after all the prerequisites needed to join the police academy.

Woman mourned the death of her husband at his funeral ‘only to find him at her doorstep 4 days later’!

Published

The unfortunate woman, Victoria, told local news outlets that she ended the year with a tragedy. During a visit to the local hospital, she was told by hospital staff that her husband, Julio, passed away from c0ronavirus.

She reportedly identified the body that she was shown in the hospital morgue, after which the medical staff released the corpse to the grieving wife.

Making arrangements to pay the last respects to her husband, Victoria, arranged to have Julio’s body be taken 30 miles away from the hospital to her village in Honduras.

She then spent one entire night surrounded by distressed relatives as they had an all-night wake before his final burial the next day…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

On the day of the funeral, Julio’s children saw the open coffin and found something amiss. They took a look at the body and wondered whether it was really that of their father’s.

But despite their doubts, the relatives reportedly went ahead with the ceremony and the man was laid to rest in a funeral that Victoria spent more than $430.

In the days that followed, Victoria continued grieving for her husband until, out of nowhere, she saw Julio himself arrive back at their house on the fourth day since the funeral was held.

“That wasn’t my husband who died, because I have my husband here now. I recognised him,” the wife said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

It was only after her husband returned home that Victoria discovered he had been missing for a few days because he went for a walk and fell over at a spot in the neighboring municipality.

Unable to get up, the man spent several days there, surviving without anything to drink or eat. He was later found injured in a field before his return home. Although her husband was back, it also meant that she buried a complete stranger in her village and her family has no idea who they were grieving for.

“I would like them to give me back some of what I spent, because they gave me the body of someone I don’t know,” Victoria shared.

“The authorities at the morgue should have properly examined him to see if it was really him.”

But on the other hand, the hospital said that the wife was to blame for misidentifying the man as her husband. They confirmed that the man arrived with Covid-19, and because of his serious condition, he didn’t survive in the hospital for more than a few hours.

The hospital staff had a look at the picture Victoria was carrying of her husband, and they found him to resemble the body of the man in the morgue. In addition to this, Victoria herself recognized the body at the time as that of her husband’s.

The hospital director reportedly said, “The logical thing was to bring the body back so we could investigate.

But later the relatives called back and said he was the right person after all and they were going to bury him.

We have everything documented. We even have an apology from one of the children, if this becomes a lawsuit.”

A Girl Rushed Out Of McDonald’s Bathroom Crying, Then Her Mom Saw Something Wrong On Her Legs

Published

The restaurant was packed with hungry customers busy eating at their tables when the customers’ attention shifted to a four-year-old girl named Kayla running towards her mom. Kayla’s face was filled with tears, and she was hysterically crying when she reached her mom’s arm. While Kayla’s mom, Nicole, was comforting her daughter, she asked her daughter what was wrong. Kayla was still crying and couldn’t speak; she continued sobbing like she was in deep pain. That was when Nicole started scanning her daughter’s body and saw what was wrong.

There was something on Kayla’s leg. Hello, wonderful people! I’m Jamie Buck from Wonderbot, and here is a story about a girl who rushed out of a McDonald’s bathroom crying.

It was during New Year’s Day when Nicole and her daughter Kayla decided to spend their day at the park and buy some food at McDonald’s. It was Kayla’s favorite fast food. The two were so excited to spend time together and bond at the park. While Nicole was closing their front door, she turned to Kayla and asked her if she was ready to have fun. Kayla nodded her head with excitement, having no idea what was about to come to them.

When Nicole and Kayla arrived at the park, the piercing sun was shimmering down on them. It was a perfect bright day to spend at the park. Kayla immediately ran towards the roundabout and asked her mom to spin her. You could hear Kayla’s giggle throughout the playground while her mom was spinning her. Nicole’s phone started ringing, and she turned around to answer the call while Kayla got off the roundabout to go to the slides.

While Nicole was busy talking on her phone, she suddenly heard a scream. Nicole quickly ended her call when she realized it was Kayla. The moment Nicole got off the phone, she turned around to find Kayla had fallen from the slide and scratched her head. She was so worried about what had happened and continued comforting her daughter while she was sobbing. After a while, when Kayla had finally calmed down, she asked her mom if she could get food already.

Nicole immediately stood up and told her daughter, “Yes, of course, dear.” The two left the park and drove off to the nearest McDonald’s, which was about 10 minutes away from where they were. Little did Nicole know that it would have been better if they just ate somewhere else. When Nicole and Kayla arrived at McDonald’s and walked into the restaurant, they noticed that the place was filled with people. Nicole’s attention was caught by a group of teenagers that were seated in the corner of the restaurant.

The group was listening to music while sipping on their soda. Two of the teenagers suddenly turned their look at Nicole and her daughter and sniggered. What could those two be thinking? It was mentioned earlier the restaurant was packed, so it’s no surprise that the line was long too. After what seemed like forever standing in line, it was finally Nicole’s turn to order.

While she was ordering their food, she asked Kayla to sit at the table in the corner and wait there while she was ordering food. Kayla politely followed her mom’s instructions and sat at the table while watching a video on YouTube on her mom’s phone. But then suddenly, a scream was heard throughout the restaurant. A scream came from the teenager that was sitting in the corner of the restaurant. The group started a fight and were yelling at each other.

Nicole immediately walked over to Kayla and comforted her, trying to drive her attention away from the battle by making her watch YouTube videos. Staff from the restaurant quickly went to the group to break up the fight and kick them out of the place. While the group was kicked out, two teenage girls from the circle were still sitting at the table. It was finally time to eat. The smell of burgers and fries lingered in the air as Nicole and Kayla started digging into their well-deserved lunch.

Kayla was eating a Happy Meal while Nicole was eating her chicken burger and some fries. In the middle of their mealtime, Kayla suddenly looked at her mom with a stern but innocent look. “Mommy, I need to use the toilet,” Kayla whispered as she finished the last bite of her cheeseburger. Kayla wiped her hands and got up to go to the toilet. When she walked over, she noticed the lock was shut.

There must be someone in there, she thought. She looked back at her mom, who smiled at her. Suddenly, she heard something. It was coming from inside the toilet. Giggles and laughs could be heard while Kayla was patiently waiting outside the toilet. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a couple of minutes remaining, the door opened, and the two teenage girls from earlier went out of the bathroom together with a smirk on their faces. Nicole was intimidated by the girls as she watched them walk past Kayla. Nicole then signaled her daughter to enter the toilet and assured Kayla that she’ll stay outside and wait for her. While Nicole was patiently waiting for Kayla at her table, she heard a scream coming from the toilet. “Mom!

Kayla screamed while running out of the bathroom with tears streaming down her face. Nicole immediately stood up from her seat, not minding her bag that fell onto the floor. As a mother, one thing that you never want to hear is the sound of your kid screaming. Kayla ran into her mom’s arms, sobbing. In the toilet, she says, Nicole immediately went to the toilet to check what was wrong.

She scanned the whole room and thought there was nothing wrong there, so she continued studying to see what could be the reason behind her daughter’s outburst. She saw that there were a few toilet paper rolls rolled out on the floor, and the faucet was dripping. Nicole checked the toilet seat, and that is when she figured the reason for her child’s outburst. When she went to the toilet seat, she noticed that it looked like the chair was covered with a white sticky substance. But as Nicole got closer to inspect, she realized that it was glue.

The toilet seat was smothered with super glue. She then realized that someone did this on purpose. Nicole stormed out of the toilet while her heart was pounding and yelled to call the manager and all employees in the restaurant. Nicole went over to her daughter, who was still crying and yelling in pain. She checked on Kayla to see what was wrong and saw that her daughter’s skin was peeled off at the back of her legs.

While Kayla was still crying in her mother’s arms, Kayla was terrified of what happened, and her mother was furious. Nicole yelled out for help in the crowd while stopping her tears from falling out of her eyes. Joanna, the assistant manager at McDonald’s, thought that she had seen it all, from small fights over a Big Mac to a drunk customer and misbehaving teens. She was trained and was already used to handling heated situations. She knew what to do to solve problems, but in her 15 years in the industry, it was the first time to see and experience something like this.

She had never seen anything like this. The moment Nicole asked for help, Joanna and her co-employees all gathered around Kayla and provided medical assistance. The staff helped in cleaning the wound and bandaging her up while Kayla was crying in her mom’s chest. After that, Nicole decided to go to the nearest hospital, so she called a family member to come and get them. But the assistance that was given to them was not enough for Nicole.

She knew that there was something that she needed to do. Nicole took the matter to her social media account and shared on her personal Facebook what happened, hoping that this would bring the pranksters to justice. On her post, Nicole wrote, “To the two young blonde girls that thought it would be hilarious to put super glue on the disabled and baby changing toilet in McDonald’s, I just want you to know that I still have to console my four-year-old daughter who was unfortunate enough to use the toilet after your little prank. She is hoping that the two teenage girls who played the prank on her daughter would be found and punished. Kayla is just an innocent little girl and does not deserve all of this.

After some investigations, the two teenage girls were finally found and were interviewed by the police officers. The two girls immediately admitted what they did and sincerely apologized to Nicole and Kayla. The two girls said they were regretting what they did and that it was a prank gone wrong. But was the apology enough for Nicole and daughter Kayla? Imagine Kayla, a four-year-old who would have to live her life with this terrible memory marked in her mind.

After hearing that the police had taken appropriate action against the two teenage girls, Nicole felt relieved. It’s been weeks since the incident happened, and the things that happened that day are still fresh in her mind. She watches as her daughter peacefully plays with her dolls. Some justice finally, she thought to herself. She takes a sip of her cup of coffee before smiling to herself and watching her brave daughter playing.

Such a story right? This story just proves to show that pranks can be a fun way to trick your friends, but it can result in a bad scenario. Hopefully, Nicole and Kayla’s experience will remind those people who love doing pranks and tricks on their friends to think twice about the people they would upset all for the sake of a laugh. So next time you want to play a prank on someone, make sure to think about it first and that no one will get hurt.

The bus driver picked up the children early in the morning as usual, and the parents found out they were not at school

Published

Black ice (a thin layer of new ice on a road) is dangerous. If you have ever tried to walk or ride it then you know.

This is why the parents of Shelby County were not surprised when they were informed that school would start late because they had to wait for the ice on the road to melt.

Unfortunately, bus driver Wayne Price did not receive the message on time. He had already collected all the children, and knew that returning them to their homes
would only increase the chance of an accident. So instead, he did something completely different…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Instead of parking the bus and letting the kids play on the smartphone for two hours, he knew he needed to do something to keep them busy.

His actions may not have been according to the book, but they also did not surprise elementary school principals in Montevallo, Alabama.

Understand, they know Wayne. They know he is capable of doing such a ‘trick’.

But the children did not know what to expect. When they stopped at a local McDonald’s branch they must have wondered if Wayne had lost it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Turns out he just wanted to buy all the kids breakfast, and paid for everyone’s breakfast instead of the breakfast they were supposed to eat at school.

To put things in perspective, there were between 40 and 50 kids on Wayne’s bus, so you can imagine how much the bill came out. School principals responded to the
gesture on Facebook and wrote: “Mr. Price, one of our bus drivers, really demonstrated the holiday spirit! On Tuesday, when school started late because of ice on the
road and we could not serve breakfast, he bought breakfast at McDonalds for all the kids who were on the bus! What a wonderful gesture that the students will
remember forever!”

After hearing every good deed of the bus driver, people from all over the world flooded Wayne with messages of support and encouragement.

What a beautiful thing to do, and what a wonderful way to do above and beyond for kids who he so obviously care about!

If you think Wayne Price’s deed is commendable, share the article with your friends and family!
