Michigan woman, Shanda Vander Ark, who constantly t****** and starved her 15-year-old to death because, "he snuck food" is sentenced to life in prison plus 50-100 years for child abuse on Tuesday. I have been watching this case and waiting to write on it until she was sentenced.  Warning- this is the most shocking case of child abuse I have ever heard about happening. Timothy Ferguson was a 15-year-old boy that had some behavior issues. Instead of getting Timothy the help he required, Timothy was t******* until his death. For the last several months of his life he was only allowed to eat one slice of bread with "Extreme Regret" hot sauce slathered on top of it. He was only allowed one slice a week. He was occasionally allowed two slices. Timothy's tongue lost all of its taste buds so he would just eat the bread to survive. Unfortunately when the hot sauce hit his digestive system the food would come back up. When his mother realized it no longer hurt him in the

Woman gives birth in a McDonald's parking lot during snow storm, baby boy aptly nicknamed "little Mcflurry" Analysia and Daniel Beck had already had their little scare for the day on January 11th when Analysia experienced Braxton Hicks contractions earlier in the day. It was hours later when the real thing caught them unaware. After the earlier contractions, Analysia had went to sleep for awhile, only to awake in full blown labor with her water breaking as she woke up. The 2 soon to be parents of a newborn jumped in their vehicle and headed to the hospital with snow flying. It was only moments after taking off, Analysia asked Daniel to pull over and call 911.  The first responders barely made it in time, literally only showing up to catch the baby as he emerged to the world in a McDonald's parking lot. As the snow swirled into the backseat, the first responders lifted little Micah up for his parents to see him for the first time. Analysia immediately noticed how blue
