Not all facilities use the same sharing network. It's really nice and convenient when they do- I try to have as many of my doctors as I can within the same system for that reason- but at least where I live almost every major hospital system has their own network. It's likely she intentionally...

I'd never heard of calf implants before. It seems like they're usually done to give a more muscular/defined look, or to make the lower legs look more proportional to the upper legs (for people with naturally bigger thighs and smaller calves). They don't seem to be nearly as common as breast or...

I used to live relatively close to here, and this area is extremely impovershed. According to wikipedia, about 40% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2000. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was a recent death and this child's parents couldn't afford a proper burial. The dried...

IMO, the parents and religion take some of the blame here, but not all of it. While the religion doesn't support or encourage anything illegal, it views ALL vaguely sexual acts outside of marriage as equally as bad. In this religion, m*sturbating, watching adult material, or kissing another...

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/man-indicted-death-denver-hairstylist-jax-gratton/ This article says Jax apparently died in her sleep (unsure if that's only according to the man they arrested or if there's more evidence for that). Didn't investigators previously say she had trauma...

I'm SO relieved to hear that there's finally an arrest. Fingers crossed that more serious charges might come and the full story comes out.

I assume that the two girls were Amor and Mila, and that the third (living) child was born after that? Unless I'm misunderstanding something

Was this a hit and run situation or was the person who struck Israel cooperative? I'm seeing that his manner of death is still listed as undetermined.

From the article linked above: "...[L]aw enforcement officers investigating Kristen’s disappearance told Cory (Kristen's mom) they did not believe Jane Doe was her daughter. Yet they also did not test the DNA of the remains." INCREDIBLY frustrating... This could have been solved years ago. It...

Looks like it's confirmed now. Hopefully his family is able to bring him home and he won't be unclaimed for long.

This is horrifying. I hope the boys are somewhere safe and can recover as much as possible.

So happy to see he's been identified and I'm glad his family finally has some answers! RIP Eddie. I'm curious about the "heartbreaking" story mentioned on his DDP page, but I understand if details are being withheld due to the family's wishes.

I work in cytogenetics, and I wouldn't be surprised if this individual had mosaic Turner syndrome (some XY cells, some with only one X chromosome). People with mosaic XY Turner are usually shorter than average and have a wide variety of phenotypes- They can appear as female, male, or in between...

Thank goodness they've been found, but what on earth is going on here? This is the second time they've gone missing (the article from the first time said it was a possible abduction), and given everyone's ages S would have been 14 when she got pregnant. I really hope they're both safe and...

I think there's two (equally likely) possibilities here- Either there's a high-control "relationship" that's been going on for years and the mother is being forced to abandon the babies, or the mother has been concealing the pregnancies for whatever reason (maybe the father doesn't want (more)...
