twin baby girls mauled by fox
June 7, 2010
Two nine month old twin girls were attacked on Saturday night by a fox, whilst their mother and father were in the house.
The parents were distraught to find what had happened, as they had evidently not noticed the fox coming into the house and going upstairs to the girls’ bedroom.
The mother and father were sitting downstairs watching the television and had left the patio door slightly open because of the humid evening air. The fox must have crept in through the door whilst they weren’t watching.
It went upstairs and must have climbed into the babies’ cot. Both girls had wounds on their arms and one has been bitten on the face, it is reported.
Both girls were taken to an East London hospital to be treated, and are now in stable condition. Luckily their older brother, also in the house asleep at the time, was unharmed.
Paediatric heart surgery suspended at Oxford hospital
March 4, 2010
The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford has decided to suspend its cardiac services offered to children after 4 patients have died within the last few months.
This is not the first time this hospital has come under the spotlight however, as it has emerged that back in 2002 there had been a report criticising “many aspects of the service” regarding the Oxford hospital where there was concern of a high mortality rate of cardiac surgery patients.
A spokesperson for the hospital stated that an investigation is underway into the issues that have been raised during the temporary suspension of the paediatric cardiac surgery service they offer, with the most urgent patients waiting for surgery to be transferred to other hospitals.
Bulger killer Venables sent back to prison
March 3, 2010
Recent news of one of the Bulger killers, Jon Venables back in jail has caused an outcry amongst the public. It’s been 17 years since the abduction and tragic murder of 2 year old James Bulger, and from the moment Venabes and Thompson, his accomplice got taken into custody they were protected immensely by the Government right up until their release where they were given new names and new identities at the cost and to the disgust of the tax payer.
Now, Venables has apparently breached the conditions of his release and sent back to jail indefinitely, the Government is once again all hush-hush, refusing to disclose any information on the matter causing revolt amongst everyone who believed all along that the Bulger murderers should have stayed behind bars for good.
