Disobedient 11-yr-old boy kept in chains
Bangalore: In a shocking incident, a 11-year-old boy was kept in chains like a dog by his uncle in Mysore because “he did not want the boy to mix with his little daughter”.
A traumatised Sameer Khan was rescued by an NGO when he was found chained in the hands and legs and struggling in the hot sun. He was so tightly chained that he could not get up and had to drag himself.
The NGO, Campaign Against Child Labour Karnataka (CACLK), said Sameer was the son of one Nissar Ahmed. The local police with the help of the NGO rescued the hapless boy.
Subsequently, the police detained Sameer’s uncle Asghar, an autorickshaw driver. Sameer a Class III student of a local school was sent to a child home in Mysore.
According to Dhanajaya E, convenor of CACLK, a passerby informed him about the boy chained behind a house. “I immediately informed the Udayagiri police and reached Sathyanagar around 11.30 am. The police too arrived and found Khan sitting in a pathetic state behind Asghar’s house with his legs and hands in 8 mm chains,” he said.
Sameer told the police that his uncle chained him to keep him away from his little daughter. Asghar, according to Sameer, told him: “Don’t mingle with my daughter. You will be a bad influence on her.” The boy also told the police that Asghar used to beat him black and blue before chaining him up.
When reporters asked Asghar why he had chained the little boy, he said he did it on instructions from the boy’s mother Seema Bhanu.
“She asked me to chain him for two to three hours because he was disobedient,” Asghar said. “He refuses to go to school or work and we have been tolerating him for the last two years. Hence, we chained him to teach him a lesson,” Asghar said.
Police produced Sameer and Asghar before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
German baby found abandoned in suitcase
Berlin: A day-old girl dressed neatly in a sweater, wrapped in a sleeping bag, zipped into a suitcase and left near a hotel in Hamburg, Police said as they launched a search for her mother.
Police said a passer-by alerted the porter of the hotel to the unattended luggage. Hotel security workers partially opened the small black suitcase, but only saw clothes. They stored in the hotel’s luggage room. Later a hotel porter heard whimpering coming from the suitcase. He opened it, found the baby and alerted police. Hamburg police said a homicide squad is investigating the case because the baby had been abandoned and could have easily died. The infant was being cared for at a nearby hospital and doctors said she was healthy, according to police. However, she was underweight at only 2.2kgs and 45 centimeters long.
Student shoot administrator, kills-self
Omaha (Nebraska): The son of a police detective opened fire at a Nebraska high school, wounding the principal and forcing panicked students to take cover in the kitchen of the building just as they returned from holiday break. The gunman, who had attended the school for no more than two months, fled from the scene and fatally shot himself in his car about a mile (kilometer) away.
Authorities declined to speculate about why the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Robert Butler Jr. targeted the administrators, who were hospitalised. Butler was transferred in November from a high school in Lincoln, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Omaha. In a rambling Facebook post filled with expletives, Butler warned that people would hear about the “evil” things he did and said the school drove him to violence. He wrote that the Omaha school was worse than his previous one, and that the new city had changed him. He apologised and said he wanted people to remember him for who he was before affecting “the lives of the families I ruined.” The post ended with “goodbye”.
