Teen thought it would be ‘funny’ to spike stepfather’s drinks with cow tranquilizers
A Wisconsin teenager reportedly admitted putting cow tranquilizers in his stepfather’s energy drinks because he thought it would be funny.
Tyler Rabenhorst-Malone, 17, was charged with placing foreign objects in edibles and second-degree recklessly endangering safety, KTRK-TV reported, citing court documents.
The Town of Lima teen admitted to the crime because he thought it would be funny but told authorities he never meant to harm his stepfather in any way, according to the station.
His stepfather first went to the hospital in January 2018 with a droopy face and slurred speech among other symptoms, officials said.
The man told doctors he believed the symptoms came from drinking energy drinks, stress and lack of sleeping, the station reported.
When the same thing happened again, the man reportedly started to keep an eye on what he was drinking. The teen’s mother also told officials a box of oxytocin mixed with rompun — an ingredient used in veterinary medicine for sedation — vanished from their barn in April 2018, KTRK-TV reported, citing a court complaint.
The stepfather started to suspect his stepson was up to something and then found used syringes he believed Rabenhorst-Malone was using to put the sedative in his drink, according to the complaint.
Officials said liquid recovered from the man’s drinks tested positive for Xylazine — a drug used for tranquilizing large cattle, according to the New York Daily News. The syringes also reportedly tested positive for the same drug.
The teen is due in court March 18.
Video captures mom whipping son with belt for stealing her BMW
A Texas high school freshman went on a joyride in his mom’s spanking-new BMW, but his badass mom chased him down — and whupped him with a belt, in a caught-on-video scene that has since gone viral.
Aaron Campero, 14, of El Paso, disconnected the WiFi in his home to disable security cameras before he took off in the BMW on Friday, his sister Liza Campero wrote on Twitter.
“I shouldn’t be laughing but damn,” she said.
Their mother, also named Liza, was at work when Aaron called to tell her their WiFi was down at home, KFOX-TV reported.
As soon as he said that, literally, I got a message instantly that my WiFi was down,” she told the station.
The Beemer bandit first drove the car to pick up his best friend, whose mother informed Aaron’s mom about his whereabouts, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Aaron’s sister also called their mother to tell her the BMW 3 Series was gone.
“That’s when she told me to grab the belt and I really just ran into the closet and grabbed the first belt I saw,” she said. “She wanted to find him before he wrecked the car and before the police did.”
The boy eventually aborted his ill-fated plan to visit his girlfriend, who was at home with her mom when Campero arrived.
According to his sister’s video, their mother pulled up next to Aaron and screamed, “Pull over now!”
She then stepped out of her car, flung open the BMW’s driver’s door and unleashed on the boy.
“My mom said once she opened the door, he had a smirk on his face until she started spanking him,” Liza said.
The mother said she didn’t know her daughter was recording the beatdown.
“It’s my son’s well-being, his livelihood, his best friend’s well-being, not to mention all of the people on the roadways,” the mom told KFOX-TV.
The video, which was posted on Twitter, had gained more than 41,000 retweets and about 144,000 likes by Thursday morning.
“I feel that I have a debt to society and my debt to society is to make sure my children are productive, law-abiding citizens,” Martinez said.
In addition to the public flogging, Aaron has been grounded “until 2019 or further notice,” his sis said.

Boss fired after telling mom her son being on life support is no reason to miss work
A Michigan gas station manager was fired after her callous response to an employee’s request for time off to be with her son, who was reportedly placed on life support, went viral.
Crystal Fisher, of Albion, told FOX 17 that her son Jason, 18, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after his temperature spiked to 104 degrees and he had “low oxygen.”
Fisher had her 14-year-old daughter, who was not named in the report, contact her boss at PS Food Mart to let them know she could not make it to work due to her son’s illness.
“[Fisher’s daughter] said, ‘Can you have somebody cover Mom for [Friday], my brother’s really sick, they’re going to have to ventilate him,’” Fisher said. “And the boss, I could hear her over the phone and she told my daughter, ‘This ain’t the way we run things, your mother needs to be the one calling me.’”
Fisher said she was told by the doctors that her son needed to be transported to the University of Michigan.
“[The doctor] came in and told me that they were going to have to tube him and transport him to [University of Michigan],” she told FOX 17. “I lost it. That’s my kid.”
Fisher said she was told her son had a bacterial infection and that he would have to be placed on life support.
She then sent a text to her manager, whom she identified as Dawn, on Saturday, letting her know that she would not be able to make it to work until her son’s condition improved. Fisher said she was shocked by what came next.
“I text her Saturday and said, ‘Hey just letting you know that I’m not going to be able to come to work until further notice at least until he’s off life support,’” Fisher said. “She automatically came back with, ‘Oh so you’re letting me know you’re quitting.’”
Fisher said she was shocked by the response and replied, “Ok so how do we do things when my child is on life support? I never said I was quitting so I take it that you’re firing me?”
“If you can’t come to work that’s you quitting,” Dawn allegedly replied.
Fisher explained she was letting her know “ahead of time” that she could not make it to work “due to my child’s life on the line.”
Dawn allegedly replied, “I will not get into [this] with you on here but I’ve been more than accommodating during this allowing schedule changes and such. There is no reason you can’t work and I will not tolerate drama. End of conversation. If you aren’t there to work your shift tomorrow then I take that as you’ve quit.”
Fisher then said she would be contacting corporate. The manager supplied the mother with the corporate office’s number, but Fisher had one last question.
“Would you be able to go to work and function if your child was on life support? I don’t know if I’m coming or going and you expect me to work?” she asked.
“Yes I would, I still have bills to pay and something to keep me busy and occupied. We don’t just get to come and go as we please at Folk Oil. I have tomorrow and Monday covered. Your son is in the best place he can be. I have a store to run and that’s my focus,” the manager allegedly replied.
Fisher posted the text exchange on her Facebook page, where it went viral. She said she was shocked by the feedback and attention the post has received.
“My 14-year-old she was like, ‘Mom, Mom, so many shares.’ And I’m like I did not expect it to take off like this,” Fisher said. “But when I have people in my inbox ‘Hey I’m from Australia praying for you,’ you know, I’m just, I’m overwhelmed.”
Fisher said she was contacted by Folk Oil’s corporate office following the viral post. The office told her to take as much time as needed, and the manager was terminated following an investigation.
“We investigated and have found that the situation was handled improperly and without the compassion that we value as a company. For that, we are very sorry,” the company said in a statement.
“As a result of this finding, we took quick action and that manager is no longer employed by PS Food Mart. We have also reaffirmed to our employee that she will be able to take all the time off that she needs during this difficult period,” the statement concluded.
Fisher said doctors told her that her son may have a type of sepsis.
“My concern is when my son does wake up and when he does open his eyes, he sees Mommy there,” Fisher said.

Parents caught in disturbing tug-of-war fight with baby
Two feuding parents were caught playing tug-of-war with their baby — and the pair are now behind bars after the shocking footage spread online.
Cops collared Britnie Hass and Elias Holt after the pair were caught tussling over their 11-month-old son in the parking lot of a Utah motel last week, a local Fox affiliate reports.
The cellphone video shows the baby boy hanging loosely on Hass’s side as she fights off Holt outside a La Quinta in Orem, and the tot is then tossed around as a third family member tries to intervene.
“When I was saying to him, ‘Let me take the baby inside’, that’s when she grabs the baby out of his arms so violently,” Melina Ylinen, the third woman and Holt’s aunt, told Fox 13.
“The baby was really low on her hip, and he was bowing backwards, and I was afraid his back was going to snap.”
“She has the baby in one arm and she starts punching my nephew, and at the point the baby is falling out of her arms. She has him in a headlock and his head is the only thing keeping him from falling on the ground.”
Hass also turned on Yllinen as she tried to rescue the baby.
“I was hit seven or eight times and she tried to get her fingers in my eye sockets to pull my eyes out,” she told ABC4 Utah.
Police eventually arrived and took the family to a relative’s house. They later arrested Hass for child abuse, and Holt over a previous warrant.
They say the footage will help them make their case.
“We are going to use the video as evidence in our case as to why we filed the appropriate charges,” Orem Police Lt. Craig Martinez told ABC4.
Cops say the baby wasn’t injured in the fight, and is now staying with another family member.
