    British Bella May Culley 18, missing from Thailand, arrested in Georgia, May 2025

    Not really. There are two main approaches to acquiring citizenship of a country at birth. One (jus sanguinis and leges sanguinis) is that you can be born almost anywhere providing one of your parents is a citizen of the relevant country. Jus sanguinis - Wikipedia / The other (jus soli) is...

    TX - Mother charged after shooting her 4 children. 2 dead, 2 wounded. Brazoria County. 2 October 2025.

    I gather this is the case with modern strains / skunk which have much higher levels of THC than was originally the case. Popular ideas about chilling out with dope are memories based on the stuff which was available before the mid 1970s.

    GA - Twin brothers miss flight to Boston, found dead 24 hours later in Georgia mountains, 14 Mar 2025

    I'm afraid this conclusion is exactly what I and many others expected, but I suspect no evidence will ever be enough for the parents because it's simply not what they want to believe.

    I don't think it has ever been stated who he is, although The Star mentions a "Ross" or "Russ" whom she may have met in the Philippines. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/who-father-bella-culleys-baby-35521852

    Depending on the direction of the police investigation, LE may not want more people tramping across what may be turning into a crime scene.

    No, it wouldn't. Georgian citizenship is based on jus sanguinis, ie the law of blood. Acquiring Georgian citizenship by birth a person, at whose birth one of his/her parents is a Georgian citizen; a person born on the territory of Georgia through extracorporeal fertilization (surrogacy), if...

    Just to point out that if the baby is born in Georgia its birth will be registered in Georgia and it will have a Georgian birth certificate. Georgian law will determine what information can or must be registered in connection with a birth in the country. It may, for example, state that details...

    That's certainly a possibility if/when the Georgian authorities allow the child to leave the country. UK social services do try to place children within the wider family but that is always following investigations and reports into the family context. It's therefore possible that the grandparents...

    In places like Teesside, where the family live, old terraced houses can be bought in run down inner city areas for as little as £20k, but would require complete renovation, ie back to the bricks. However, modern 2 bedroom terraced or semi-detached properties go from about £150k upwards.

    Wow. 🚩 So he probably had no friends and had no contact at all with other children. What would the plan have been for when he reached school age? I know many Australian kids from very rural backgrounds attend state boarding schools, but from what age?

    These are known as cattle grids in the UK. They may stop cattle but there have been cases here of sheep learning to roll across them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3938591.stm They've also mastered the art of walking across them.

    Could a lone dingo make a 4 year old disappear? How far could an adult dingo drag a 30-40lb child?
