According to UNICEF Nigeria, 11-year-old Nigerian girl Brenda (not real name) was accused of witchcraft by her father, who held her responsible for his misfortune in life. She was beaten and thrown out the house. "Brenda now lives in a church, doesn’t attend school anymore and her desire to be a doctor now seems a pipe dream." said UNICEF Nigeria. "Ironically most states where children are accused of witchcraft and maltreated have passed the Child Rights Law. When families fall into hard times, a child is accused of using witchcraft to bewitch the family. In this period of economic recession if we do not start a campaign on strict implementation of the Child Rights Law to protect these children, maybe more would be branded witches"

This young lady deemed it fit to post half-unclad photos of herself on Facebook -even to the extent of using it as her profile picture.

A Plano, Texas high school teacher has been arrested after a Snapchat flirtation with a 16-year-old boy led to beer pong, nude selfies, al fresco sex and the cancellation of her wedding. Alaina Danielle Ferguson, 23, was working as an algebra teacher at Plano Senior High School when the illicit relationship began, according to arrest affidavits. Ferguson allegedly contacted him after he left his Snapchat username on a test paper, Fox 4 reported. That happened September, just after the beginning of the school year, and quickly led to the pair having sex on a park bench in Lewisville, the arrest affidavit said. The pair continued their illicit affair both on and off-line, with Ferguson sending nude selfies to the teen and providing the alcohol for games of beer pong that would turn into sex sessions, authorities say. At one point she allegedly had sex with him in her McKinney apartment while her fiancé was out of town. The pair had sex 'several' more times

The state of California has granted the mixed martial artist a boxing license which makes the super fight more likely to happen. Connor McGregor in his characteristic brashness says he'll knockout Mayweather if they ever step into the ring together. He said:  'If I took out all those different disciplines and focused with the work ethic that I have on the sport of boxing, there's no telling what I could do. I wouldn't go in there just to show up. I'd go in there to knock him (Mayweather) out. He can be hit. He's been hit before. Age waits for no man, also. So I know they know that. I know the size, the reach and the youth is on my side.  There's a lot to lose for them. So that's why they're scrambling. But that's OK. I've got some other boxing opportunities and potential opponents in mind, some previous Floyd o

32 years after 16-year-old Holly Marie Andrews' partially nude body was found by cross-country skiers 20 feet off a mountainside road, her murderer has finally been brought to book. A day before her body was found, the teenager was last seen getting into a stranger’s car after she left her mother’s home in Littleton, Colorado to walk to a friend’s home. This was in 1976. She had been raped, stabbed in the chest and back several times. Semen was collected from her lifeless body and stored, but the case was not solved due to lack of technological advancement. Years after her death, a man named, Henry Lee Lucas, confessed to killing Holly, as well as about 3,000 other murders, but Colorado investigators were not convinced about his involvement in the death of the teen girl. It wasn’t until 2005 when Ricky Lee Harnish, a husband and father, leading a supposedly responsible life was arrested for selling meth and his DNA was taken, that it was discovered that
