InFoshan, China, a woman was recently rushed to the Nanhai Red Cross Hospital with stomach cramps and internal bleeding. Although only eight months pregnant, Liu Dongmei gave birth to the baby, but the doctors pronounced it dead.

The baby was born with purple skin and wasn’t crying or breathing, prompting the medical team to get rid of it in a manner that didn’t follow standard guidelines. However, shortly after the birth, the young mother’s sister-in-law asked to see the baby, only to discover that it was still breathing.

To add insult to injury, the baby is a boy, not a girl, a lie told to the mother to apparently lessen the impact of its death.

In China, boys are considered prized. Consequently, due to China’s one-child policy, baby boys are most often more desired than girls.

Thankfully, the baby is now in stable condition, but the hospital has yet to answer for this mistake.

Sal Miglino was going through a messy divorce with his estranged wife and it would appear that her mother, Cheryl Hepner, was definitely taking sides. When Miglino went to pick-up his three-year old son from his grandmother’s house, she met him at the door with gun in hand and started firing. Unfortunately for Hepner, Miglino had his wits about him, as he recorded the event in its entirety on his iPhone.

The video shows shaky footage of the scenery outside Hepner’s house as she fires the first shot then he falls to the ground screaming, “You shot me.” More shots can be heard, Miglino yells in pain and in the background you hear grandma talking, however, it’s unclear what she’s saying exactly.

Miglino made it back to his car where he called 911. At the same time, Hepner rushed inside her house and called 911 claiming she was the victim and her son-in-law tried to shoot her. Thanks to the iPhone video police have come to the conclusion that Hepner is the one who fired the shots and had planned the whole thing.

Chinese police have arrested a man who hired two strippers to perform at his son’s wedding after the performance was mobbed by villagers, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Zhang Cheng, from Xuzhou in eastern Jiangsu province, had originally wanted a band to play at the nuptials, but was then advised he could get performers whose show would have “special features,” the Global Times said.

“After watching the show, Zhang decided it would be appropriate for his son’s wedding and requested two strippers for the event,” it added. “…Barely five minutes had passed before hundreds of villagers in the conservative community were swarming to the venue, trying to catch a glimpse.”

In a bizarre episode that you have to see to believe, the winning coach and several others were plowed into by a runaway, unmanned electrical cart during an interview near the 50-yard line following a victory in a state title game Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Spring (Texas) Dekaney head coach Willie Amendola was being interviewed near midfield following his team’s 34-14 victory in the Texas 5A Division II final when a cart plowed into the group.

Many were knocked to the ground, but Amendola was thrown into the passenger’s seat. He tried unsuccessfully to gain control of the cart before falling to the turf about 25 yards from the initial impact.

A field worker eventually jumped into the cart and brought it to a stop.

An emergency medical technician who declined identification by name told The Associated Press that one man who was conscious and talking was taken to a hospital with an apparent leg injury. The Arlington medical technician said he had no further information on the man’s condition but he said others hit or grazed by the cart were checked out by emergency workers onfield as a precaution.

Separately, a Texas sporting league official said a male staffer also was injured, not seriously, when the pilotless cart raced across field after the Texas 5A Division II football championship game. That official also declined identification to the Associated Press.

A few hundred people were still on the field, celebrating and talking following Dekaney’s victory. Stadium workers had begun cleaning up the field. Orange yard markers are seen stacked in the back of the cart, but it was unclear as to why the cart took off without a driver. (A number of viewers have noticed that pylons appeared to have been placed near the accelerator.)

An announcer, still on the air during the postgame activities, was shaken while describing the sequence.

“We have a disturbance down the field,” he said. “Apparently one of the carts on the field got loose and I think there have been some folks injured in this. Oh my! That’s like a runaway cart there. And it finally took someone to stop it. That’s a scary thing.”

It was a bizarre ending to the first state title for Dekaney, which upset favored Cibolo (Texas) Steele.
