Dad Threatened to Shoot Up Michigan Elementary School After His Child Didn\u2019t Get a Snack at Snack Time: Police<\/h3>\n

A Michigan man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly threatened an elementary school because his child did not receive a snack.<\/p>\n

The alleged incident occurred on Wednesday, Oct. 22 when David Scott, Jr., 43, picked his child up from Pleasantview Elementary School in Eastpointe, per a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. Scott allegedly became upset when he found out his child did not get a snack at snack time that day.<\/p>\n

According to the release, Scott threatened violence against the school and told the teacher he would return the following day. The school alerted authorities, and police subsequently searched Scott\u2019s home, where \u201cmultiple rounds of ammunition were found.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott was arraigned the following day on Thursday, Oct. 23, on charges of possession of weapons and ammunition by a prohibited person, intentional threat to commit an act of violence against school, school employees, or students and disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

He also received a \u201chabitual offender \u2014 fourth offense notice,\u201d which could serve as a factor during sentencing.<\/p>\n

Scott allegedly told the teacher he would \u201cair the place out\u201d \u2014 a slang term for gun violence \u2014 during the confrontation, according to Eastpointe Police, per WDIV Local 4 and CBS News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely no excuse for threatening violence against a school or its staff \u2014 especially over something as minor as a classroom snack,\u201d said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido, per the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur office takes all threats to schools seriously, and we will continue to pursue charges to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and our community,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

PEOPLE reached out to the Eastpointe Police Department as well as Eastpointe Community Schools on Saturday, Oct. 25, but did not receive immediate responses.<\/p>\n

Members of the community were shocked and disheartened to learn of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour child goes here. Did you not think about what that can do to your kid?\u201d Eastpointe resident Eric Haley said while speaking to local news outlet Fox 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat problem or what trauma that can cause your child because their friends are here?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018That\u2019s crazy,\u2019 \u201d Detroit resident Anike Wells told the outlet. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Over a snack?\u2019 I don\u2019t think that was called for at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s bond is set at $150,000 (cash or surety, no 10% and ordered a mental health evaluation), and his next court date is scheduled for Nov. 5, per Macomb County public records.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People Taking Medical Advice from AI Chatbots Are Ending Up in the ER<\/h3>\n

The growing reliance on AI-powered chatbots for medical advice has led to several alarming cases of harm and even tragedy, as people follow potentially dangerous recommendations from these digital assistants.<\/p>\n

The New York Post reports that in recent years, the rise of generative AI chatbots has revolutionized the way people seek information, including health advice. However, the increasing reliance on these AI-powered tools has also led to several disturbing instances where individuals have suffered severe consequences after following chatbots\u2019 medical recommendations. From anal pain caused by self-treatment gone wrong to missed signs of a mini-stroke, the real-life impact of bad AI health advice is becoming increasingly apparent.<\/p>\n

One particularly shocking case involved a 35-year-old Moroccan man who sought help from ChatGPT for a cauliflower-like anal lesion. The chatbot suggested that the growth could be hemorrhoids and proposed elastic ligation as a treatment. The man attempted to perform this procedure on himself using a thread, resulting in intense pain that landed him in the emergency room. Further testing revealed that the growth had been completely misdiagnosed by AI.<\/p>\n

In another incident, a 60-year-old man with a college education in nutrition asked ChatGPT how to reduce his intake of table salt. The chatbot suggested using sodium bromide as a replacement, and the man followed this advice for three months. However, chronic consumption of sodium bromide can be toxic, and the man developed bromide poisoning. He was hospitalized for three weeks with symptoms including paranoia, hallucinations, confusion, extreme thirst, and a skin rash.<\/p>\n

The consequences of relying on AI for medical advice can be even more severe, as demonstrated by the case of a 63-year-old Swiss man who experienced double vision after a minimally invasive heart procedure. When the double vision returned, he consulted ChatGPT, which reassured him that such visual disturbances were usually temporary and would improve on their own. The man decided not to seek medical help, but 24 hours later, he ended up in the emergency room after suffering a mini-stroke. The researchers concluded that his care had been \u201cdelayed due to an incomplete diagnosis and interpretation by ChatGPT.\u201d<\/p>\n

These disturbing cases highlight the limitations and potential dangers of relying on AI chatbots for medical advice. While these tools can be helpful in understanding medical terminology, preparing for appointments, or learning about health conditions, they should never be used as a substitute for professional medical guidance. Chatbots can misinterpret user requests, fail to recognize nuances, reinforce unhealthy behaviors, and miss critical warning signs for self-harm.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even a greater danger with than bad medical advice is the impact on mental health AI chatbots can have, especially for teenagers. Breitbart News previously reported on a family suing OpenAI over claims ChatGPT became their son\u2019s \u201csuicide coach:\u201d<\/p>\n

The Raines claim that \u201cChatGPT actively helped Adam explore suicide methods\u201d and that \u201cdespite acknowledging Adam\u2019s suicide attempt and his statement that he would \u2018do it one of these days,\u2019 ChatGPT neither terminated the session nor initiated any emergency protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n

In their search for answers following their son\u2019s death, Matt and Maria Raine discovered the extent of Adam\u2019s interactions with ChatGPT. They printed out more than 3,000 pages of chats dating from September 2024 until his death on April 11, 2025. Matt Raine stated, \u201cHe didn\u2019t write us a suicide note. He wrote two suicide notes to us, inside of ChatGPT.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woman used fart selfies to harass partner’s ex<\/h3>\n

A woman who sent videos of herself passing wind in a series of harassing messages to her boyfriend’s ex-partner has been given a community order.<\/p>\n

Shopworker Rhiannon Evans, 25, of Mountain Street in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, pleaded guilty to pursuing a course of conduct amounting to the harassment.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors told magistrates in the town how in Evans’ first “inappropriate” video she “proceeds to pass gas by placing the camera on her bottom and passing the gas”.<\/p>\n

She sent three more fart selfies to Deborah Prytherch via WhatsApp on 22 December, the court heard, and four more in the following days showing “Miss Evans passing wind, her face smiling at the camera”, magistrates heard.<\/p>\n

Evans was warned by police, but she sent further messages on Boxing and New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

Evans was arrested at her home, admitted to sending the videos and was given a 12-month community order and fines.<\/p>\n

“She suggested she wanted to send videos because she felt her partner was being treated unfairly,\u201d said prosecutor Diane Williams.<\/p>\n

“It was purely malicious.<\/p>\n

“She was smirking throughout, found it hilarious, but the victim didn’t.”<\/p>\n

Ms Prytherch said in a statement: “I would like to feel safe in my home.”<\/p>\n

Evans had a difficult upbringing, the court was told, and was said to have mental health problems.<\/p>\n

A probation officer said she had been in a relationship for two years and there was “bad blood” with her boyfriend’s ex-partner.<\/p>\n

Harriet Gorst, defending, said: “There are some issues going on between Miss Evans’ partner and his ex-partner with regard to child contact.<\/p>\n

“At the time she sent these videos she had some drinks and she sent them, understanding now this has caused the victim some distress.<\/p>\n

“She sent them without malicious intent.”<\/p>\n

Magistrates imposed 15 rehabilitation sessions, 60 days alcohol abstinence monitoring and a two-year restraining order against contacting the victim.<\/p>\n

Evans must pay \u00a3100 compensation and \u00a3199 costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Health care exec, husband charged after allegedly leaving sleeping 6-month-old daughter alone at beach<\/h3>\n

A health care company\u2019s regional president and her husband are accused of ditching their 6-month-old daughter in their tent on the beach during her nap time while the rest of the family went on a long walk along the shore Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sara Sommers Wilks and her husband, Brian Wilks, were both arrested shortly after police responded to reports of an abandoned baby at Florida\u2019s Miramar Beach around noon Friday.<\/p>\n

Sommers Wilks, 37, and Wilks, 40, told police that they\u2019d \u201clost track of time\u201d while on a walk with their three older children, the Walton County Sheriff\u2019s Office wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The pair were gone for nearly an hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s right there at that hour time frame, 50 minutes to an hour, way longer than what would be reasonable,\u201d Major Dustin Cosson with the Walton County Sheriff\u2019s Office told ABC 13.<\/p>\n

A good Samaritan collected the infant and was tending to her inside the nearby Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa when authorities arrived.<\/p>\n

All the while, the parents had no idea what was going on and were impossible to reach as they\u2019d left their cellphones behind with the infant, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thankful for the quick-thinking beachgoer who raised the alarm and for those who stepped in to care for the child with the same kindness and concern they would show their own,\u201d Sheriff Michael Adkinson said.<\/p>\n

The baby\u2019s vitals were normal and she wasn\u2019t in any apparent distress, authorities said.<\/p>\n

She and her three elder siblings were remanded into the Florida Department of Children and Families\u2019 custody until other family members could pick them up, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The parents were taken into custody shortly after and charged with child neglect without great bodily harm \u2014 a third-degree felony under Florida statutes.<\/p>\n

Cosson was appalled by the parents\u2019 disregard for all the different ways infants can mistakenly put themselves in danger \u2014 even while napping.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all fine and dandy, but you don\u2019t just leave a baby at a house and then leave and go off to the store. The baby could roll over and suffocate itself, or the wind could blow a towel over its face. There\u2019s no telling what could have happened,\u201d he told ABC 13.<\/p>\n

The parents were both released on a $1,000 bond on Saturday, police said.<\/p>\n

Sommers Wilks boasts a storied business career and currently serves as US Heart and Vascular\u2019s regional president for southeast Texas. The company is a provider of support services for independent cardiovascular practices in Arizona, Alabama and Texas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
