 Texas woman charged with medical child abuse for falsifying toddler’s health and pushing unnecessary feeding tube surgeries A Texas woman has been charged with medical child abuse after allegedly falsifying her toddler’s medical history to pressure doctors into performing unnecessary procedures, including feeding tube surgeries, in what authorities are calling a “sickening” case. Kaitlyn Rose Laura, 31, faces charges of injury to a child and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Officials said she deliberately misled medical staff about her 3-year-old son’s health to obtain a gastrostomy tube and later a gastrojejunostomy tube, despite no documented medical need. Investigators allege that hospital staff observed the boy eating normally while Laura claimed he refused all food.

 Ghana rewrites mining laws to secure larger share of gold revenues


Ghana is preparing to overhaul its mining laws to secure a bigger share of revenues from soaring gold prices, with authorities saying the current framework no longer reflects market realities or national interests.


“What we have since 2014 is a policy that has not been reviewed,” Isaac Andrews Tandoh, acting chief executive officer of the Minerals Commission, told AFP. “We had to do something to bridge this gap.”


The planned reforms would revise a mining code that regulators say offers foreign mining companies favourable tax and royalty terms, leaving the state with a limited stake in a sector that remains central to Ghana’s economy.


The west African nation says it is seeking tighter control over its natural resources as global demand for gold and other critical minerals continues to rise, following similar moves by countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali and Tanzania.


Climbing gold prices


Gold prices have surged sharply, jumping more than 65 percent in 2025 and climbing to record highs of $5,500.


Ghana, the world’s sixth-largest gold producer, relies heavily on foreign firms for production, including US-based Newmont, South Africa’s Gold Fields and AngloGold Ashanti, and Australia’s Perseus Mining.


Under proposed reforms expected to be presented to parliament by March, mining royalties would increase from the current three to five percent range to between nine and 12 percent, depending on global gold prices, Tandoh said.


Ghana’s mining agreements typically lock in fiscal terms for between five and 15 years in exchange for large-scale investments that can exceed $500 million to develop or expand mines.
