MAN ARRESTED ON US TV AFTER 4-YEAR-OLD FILMED WAVING GUN

 A man has been arrested on live TV in the US state of Indiana after his four-year-old son, appearing to wear a nappy, was seen waving a gun.
Shane Osborne, 45, was charged with neglect after neighbours reported a child in a hallway carrying what they believed to be a handgun, police said.
The arrest was filmed on the TV show On Patrol: Live.
The show aired surveillance video allegedly showing the boy playing with a weapon and even pulling the trigger.
Mr Osborne initially told police there were no weapons in the house, claiming to have been been feeling ill all day and sleeping, Beech Grove Police told the BBC.
"I don't have a gun," he tells police on the show, where Beech Grove officers are followed on shift. "I have never brought a gun into this house, if there is, it's my cousin's."
He added that he did not realise that his son had been outside in the hallway of the apartments.
While the officers were still on the scene, a neighbour came forward to the officers with surveillance video. The video showed the young child in the hallway with what appeared to be a real firearm.
Police then found the firearm in Mr Osborne's apartment and he was arrested.
All of this was aired live on the TV show, which is broadcast on the Reelz channel. Mr Osborne is due to appear in court on Tuesday.
Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley told local station WTHR he was "mortified" about the incident.
"As with all of you, I'm mortified and what took place and I'm so thankful that no one was hurt, especially the young child.
"I appreciate the quick action taken by the Beech Grove Police Department to secure the small child and the gun in question," he said.
It comes in the same month that a six-year-old student allegedly shot his teacher with a handgun at a Virginia elementary school, in what police described as an "intentional" shooting.

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

BLIND PAIN

It was a cold day in Hell... When I woke up dizzy I always wake up on the "right side of the bed" and I mean ALWAYS  Its almost like the term BEAUTY SLEEP was made for me. I don't feel beautiful this morning. ..mainly because my stomach has been churning and couldn't keep nothing in Or it might be the fact that I feel like I was in an accident over the night's rest and would hurriedly rush back to bed for another.. I stared into my doctor's eyes when she told me I was expecting a baby.....The human brain is always active...thinking, plotting, planning. .I was once told! My brain was empty..BLANK! Its a wonder why she called it a BUNDLE OF JOY...ptff!! She could see I'm not wearing a wedding band and I could see the disgust written on her face OR was I just imagining it?? I really didn't wait to find out or bother.... it's an irony she could see my sadness explicitly and still called my baby a "JOY BUNDLE"....I mean reall
