 Zambia president approves law expanding parliament months before election Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema on Thursday signed into law constitutional changes that will expand the country's parliament, Reuters reported. The changes increase the number of members of parliament to around 280 from 167 currently by creating more constituencies, reserving 40 new seats for women, youth and people with disabilities, and allowing the president to appoint 11 members instead of eight previously. Hichilema, who will run for a second presidential term in the August 2026 election, said during a signing ceremony that the changes were being made in good faith and there was adequate consultation. He previously argued that some constituencies were too big for effective service delivery and should be split into smaller ones.

AN INDIANA COUPLE IS FACING SERIOUS CHARGES AFTER LOCKING THEIR TODDLER IN A CLOSET WITH A SPACE HEATER, RESULTING IN HER DEATH. (PHOTO).


 An Indiana couple is facing serious charges after locking their toddler in a closet with a space heater, resulting in her death.


21-year-old Sintia Perez and 23-year-old Jace Hirschy are facing charges of felony neglect resulting in death and neglect of a dependent after a heartbreaking incident on November 29th.


Berne Police responded to a report of an unresponsive child. Once on scene, they were directed to a crib in a closet where they found a 2-year-old girl deceased. First responders have reported the closet had an overwhelming heat disparity with the rest of the home. They said the closet was in disarray, filled with trash and dirty diapers.


The child was found on a "very soiled mattress" with a body temperature of 109.4 degrees. That is incredibly sad.  When questioning the mother, she informed officers that they had "placed the child in the closet around 7 p.m. the night before with a space heater set on the highest setting and didn't check on her until 3 p.m. the next day". The little girl's official cause of death has been ruled hyperthermia. 


The couple's other children were remanded into the care of DCS due to unhealthy living conditions.


Both Perez and Hirschy were booked into Adams County Jail.


Our thoughts are with everyone who cared for this sweet child and her siblings.


If you ever suspect a child is being mistreated, please do not hesitate to call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.
