Texas woman sentenced to 18 years in prison for taking girl to motel to be raped
AUSTIN, Texas – A Texas woman has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after she allowed her boyfriend to rape a girl, according to KEYE.
In April 2018, an 11-year-old girl said Maria Miranda-Aguirre would remove her from school and bring her to a motel where Miranda-Aguirre’s boyfriend would sexually abuse her.
According to KEYE, Miranda-Aguirre was a trusted friend to the girl’s family.
Multiple incidents of abuse occurred in front of Miranda-Aguirre’s children, and she reportedly participated in the rape at least once.
Miranda-Aguirre was convicted of two counts of trafficking a person and one count of indecency with a child, KEYE reported.

Father accused of forcing 4-year-old son to drink hot sauce for cursing
LEANDER, Texas – A Texas father is accused of assaulting his 4-year-old son on Easter Sunday and force-feeding the boy hot sauce.
Jail records show Demitro Revillas was booked Monday on a felony count of intentional bodily injury of a child.
Police said a cousin told investigators that Revillas became furious after hearing that his son had cursed, and slapped him with an open hand hard enough to knock him to the ground, according to an arrest warrant obtained by KXAN.
When the child refused to admit he had cussed, Revillas became enraged and allegedly took his son into the kitchen and forced him to drink hot sauce for several minutes as his son cried out for him to stop.
The cousin told officers she could hear him choking on the spicy condiment.
The boy later told police that Revillas also hit him in the face with a belt, according to the warrant. An officer reported seeing bruising on the boy’s face.
Revillas is being held at the Williamson Count Jail on a $40,000 bond.

Florida Man Attacks Mattress in a Fit of Jealous Rage After Smoking Meth, Faces Charges
An apparently hallucinating Florida man used a bedpost to attack a mattress where he thought a man was hiding.
In a Facebook post, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s office quotes the girlfriend of 37-year-old Felipe Oquendo as saying that he began acting erratically early Friday. The girlfriend told deputies Oquendo thought she was cheating on him with a man he thought he saw in the mattress at their Fort Walton Beach home.
She said Oquendo hit the mattress with a bed post, ripped it apart with his bare hands and locked the bedroom door. She was able to escape and call police.
“Oquendo told OCSO deputies he was fighting the man in the mattress, holding him down when they arrived, but the man then slipped out and left,” the post read. “He admitted he had been smoking methamphetamine.”
The suspect was booked on suspicion of domestic violence related false imprisonment and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Jail records don’t list a lawyer for him.
A teacher ran out of sick days to stay with cancer-stricken daughter, so colleagues donated 100 days
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — David Green is a history teacher and a father to a 16-month-old girl who was diagnosed with cancer.
The Mae Jemison High School teacher didn’t have any more sick days that he could take to stay with his little girl, Kinsley. His daughter is getting treatment 100 miles from home and she needs him to be there when he can.
So, fellow educators in Huntsville, Alabama, chipped in with their sick days — it added up to 100 days.
“We were blown away with the response that we received with the sick days. We were hoping to get a couple days so he could be here once a week,” Megan Green, Kinsley’s mother, told CNN. “It is a huge blessing and we can’t wait until we are in the position to give back and help others.”
Kinsley was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia six months ago and has been going through treatment since then. She still has three to four months of inpatient treatment, but will remain in treatment for the next two years.
Green gets one sick day a month and the Green family needed 40 days, so his wife decided to post on Facebook and see whether teachers were willing to help and donate one sick day.
Wilma DeYampert, an assistant principal at Lakewood Elementary, works in the same school district with Green. She saw the story on Facebook and donated two days. They are the only days she can afford, as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February.
“I could not imagine having a child and being away from the child,” DeYampert told CNN. “So, I just thought it was the right thing to do. My mom always said, ‘You don’t have to be rich to bless someone.’”
Most teachers in the United States get one sick day a month. A lack of paid leave has devastating consequences for teachers who can’t afford to take time off for personal sickness or the birth of a child.
Low wages make it impossible for teachers to save for unpredictable situations or emergency expenses. Almost half the teaching workforce lacks access to retirement benefits.
Goldsmith Schiffman Elementary was another school where many teachers came together to help Green.
“You want to send words of encouragement, you want to do something to help, but this was a real physical way that we could help him and his family,” Anna Kachelman, a first-grade teacher, told CNN affiliate WHNT.
School admin allegedly colored in 7th grader’s haircut with marker over dress code violation
PEARLAND, Texas – An administrator at a Texas middle school is on leave after he allegedly used a marker to color in a student’s haircut design that didn’t meet the dress code.
The Berry Miller Junior High School student, Juelz Trice, told KTRK he was given two choices: accept an in-school suspension or allow the administrator to “color it in.”
The seventh-grader’s parents say they are upset that the school didn’t notify them, and that they only found out when their son got off the bus and told them what happened. His father, Dante Trice, also told the station he worries about the chemicals in the ink that went into his son’s pores where the line, in the shape of an M, had been freshly shaved.
“Punishing students for their style of hair is a discriminatory practice,” his mother told KPRC in an email. “The first paragraph of the district press release is meant to blame (her son) instead of immediately taking responsibility for the actions of the (assistant principal).”
Pearland Independent School District officials issued the following statement Wednesday:
Pearland ISD is extremely disappointed to learn of a situation that occurred at Berry Miller Junior High.
A student recently arrived at school with a haircut which violated district dress code. Pearland ISD’s dress code states: “Hair must be neat, clean and well groomed. Extreme hair styles such as carvings, mohawks, spikes, etc. are not allowed.”
A campus administrator mishandled disciplinary action by giving the student options including notifying his mother, disciplinary consequences or filling in the shape of the hair carving with a marker. This latter practice is not condoned by the district and does not align with appropriate measures for dress code violations.
The campus administrator is currently on administrative leave. Further action is forthcoming.
District administration has contacted the student’s family to express our sincerest apology and extreme disappointment in this situation, which does not fall in line with the values of Pearland ISD.
‘Freezer Mom’ Mitchelle Blair who killed 2 kids accused of throwing her feces, urine at corrections officer
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Mitchelle Blair, the Detroit mother who admitted to killing two of her children and stuffing their bodies in a freezer, was sentenced Thursday on charges for assaulting a police officer.
Officials say Blair received two sentences of 38 months to five years for two separate incidents where she allegedly assaulted an officer in 2018.
According to court reports, she put her feces and urine in a Pringles can and threw it on the face and chest of a corrections officer while they were trying to collect her food from a tray.
During the second incident, Blair was being escorted down the segregation unit hallway, when she began shouting at another prisoner.
As the officer tried to de-escalate the situation, she responded by kicking the officer in stomach and arm.
Police say she has been moved back into general population and is no longer in a segregated unit.
Mitchelle Blair has had 49 incidents since being in prison in 2015.
