How Would You Feel If A Bus Driver Wouldn't Let Kids Go? It's Actually Happened

What would you do if a school bus driver held your kids hostage?

As you'll see in this surveillance video, that's exactly what happened to 40 kids in Arizona back in 2015. According to reports, the elementary school students were being "rowdy." Instead of releasing them to their parents, the bus driver locked them inside the vehicle and refused to let them leave. Many screamed and cried for their parents, who tried to pry the doors open and called 911. Then, terrifyingly, the driver sped off.

The chaotic scene is one that would strike fear into the heart of any parent. Unbelievably, the driver was not charged.

Luckily, he returned to Dysart Elementary School, where he let the kids off the bus. The school immediately placed him on administrative leave, but he opted to resign from the position. Father Adam Kautman witnessed the terrifying event and said:

"I don't know if he went crazy, was going to crash into something because the way he took off, he was speeding. They're responsible for the lives of all those children on the bus to get home safely, and he did the exact opposite of that."

He Felt Something Weird Moving In His Scalp...And This Horror Is What They Found

Could you live for a month knowing that a parasitic maggot was buried in your scalp? This guy did, and as if that's not disturbing enough, just wait until you watch as it's pulled out!

Simon James was traveling in Panama when a botfly maggot took up residence in his scalp. While anyone's gut reaction would say to pull it out immediately, he had to wait a month for it to grow large enough to be removed with tweezers. And grow it did! As far as souvenirs go, this has to be one of the worst.

If you're eating anything, put it down. Even though I knew what was about to happen, nothing could have prepared me for the size of that thing.

Well, that's enough internet for today! Don't forget to share this guy's unusual "souvenir" with your friends on social media, especially those who love to travel.

When Her Husband And Lover Couldn't Get Her Pregnant, She Did Something So Heinous

Not being able to have a child is a devastating reality for many women, but could you imagine if it drove someone to murder?

Unfortunately for this woman's ex-husband and lover, their inability to get her pregnant cost them their lives. In 2008, now 38-year-old Estibaliz Carranza, also known as the "ice cream killer," shot and killed her former husband, Holger Holz, before dismembering his body with a chainsaw. Two years later, she did the same thing to Manfred Hinterberger, her new boyfriend. 

After divorcing Holz, Carranza says that he refused to move out of their home, so she snuck up behind him one night, held a gun to the back of his head, and shot him. A couple of years later, she shot Hinterberger in his sleep following a

She cut up both of their bodies with a chainsaw, froze them in a deep-freeze refrigerator, and hid the remains inside concrete in the basement of her ice cream shop in Vienna, Austria. She had reportedly taken a shooting class as well as a concrete mixing class just before Hinterberger's murder.

 

 

When neighbors asked about the chainsaw noises, Carranza told them that it was a new kind of ice cream machine. About a year after she killed Hinterberger, workers found the remains in the basement and called police.

 

After she was sentenced to life in prison in 2012, she wrote a memoir detailing both of the murders. She claimed that the men were abusive, but psychiatrist Heidi Kastner said she had a "grave, comprehensive, multi-faceted personality disorder" and was at risk of killing again.

Her memoir also reveals that she had lifelong obsession with having a baby, and this was part of the reason why she killed her partners. She did finally become pregnant by a third man and gave birth to a boy while in custody, but he was immediately taken away from her and given to her mother, who lives in Barcelona, Spain.

A Man Demanded Money From The Cashier...But He Didn't Have A Weapon!

This guy must have learned everything he knows about robbing convenience stores from Mr. Bean. By holding his hand behind his back, he somehow convinced cashiers that he had a gun and made off with a handful of cash.

But if there's one thing lamer than his hand-behind-the-back technique, it's what he decided to wear on the day of the heist. Donning a long-sleeve dress shirt, cargo jean shorts, black shoes, long white socks, and a fedora, he looked more like an embarrassing dad than a criminal.

To top all of this off, the whole thing was captured by the store's security camera. And incredibly, despite the man not being armed, he managed to get away with nearly $300.

As of yet, police have not identified the robber. They hope that by releasing this video to the public, they'll be able to have this guy (and his ridiculous outfit) behind bars soon.

If You See This Happening In Places With Animals, It's Not Cute -- It's Bad For Them

There are few places on Earth that allow bystanders to connect and interact with animals in the same way that zoos and amusement parks do.

In most cases, you can get up-close and personal with many of the animals. There’s nothing quite like posing for a selfie with a full-grown tiger, or taking a ride on a camel's back. But while these interactions may be amazing for us, they aren’t so fun and memorable for the animals. While the animals may appear to be happy and healthy during these human interactions, behind closed doors, they are suffering from harsh animal cruelty and even abuse. 

Looks may be deceiving, but if you notice animals in any of these situations, know that there’s something more sinister going on behind the scenes.

1. Pacing

 

If an animal is pacing, it’s not a sign of boredom as it may appear to most humans. Instead, pacing around in a cramped cage or exhibit case can be a sign of high levels of stress and frustration and could be the result of poor mental health.

2. An increase in babies

Giphy

If it appears that there is an overabundance of baby animals at your local zoo or amusement park, that’s because the animals are forced into reproducing as a means for increasing ticket sales. Spectators love getting the chance to witness an animal birth or watch the baby animals grow up.

3. Posing for pictures

While getting a rare photo taken with an adult tiger or baby elephant might be the talk of the town for a few weeks, in that moment, you probably didn’t notice how calm and collected that animal was while posing. That’s because in order to keep these animals on their best behavior, many of them have been sedated to eliminate some of the risk involved.

This Looks Like Something Out Of A Horror Movie, But People Are Doing It For Fun

You'd think that nobody would want foreign objects anywhere near their fragile eyeballs, but bizarrely enough, that isn't always the case.

Despite the fact that anything -- even a tiny grain of sand -- inside your eye can scratch the cornea or worse, this disturbing practice has become a recent trend on the internet. The Instagram account eyexam currently has about 145,000 followers, all of whom subscribe to see the "extrEYEordinary" pictures. While some of the photos feature beautiful shots of glitter and cool objects near the eyes, others show similar things tucked inside eyelids.

Prepare yourself for a whole lot of cringing.

What Led To This Little Girl's Rape And Murder Is Absolutely Sickening

Only a day after Victoria Martens turned 10 years old, she was raped and murdered while her own mother watched.

While this is disturbing enough, her autopsy has revealed even more horrifying information. Not only did Victoria have alcohol in her system when she died, but she also tested positive for the human papilloma virus (HPV), confirming that she had been sexually abused before.

Her mother, 35-year-old Michelle Martens, also admitted that she enjoyed watching her boyfriend, 32-year-old Fabian Gonzales, rape her little girl before he strangled her to death in August 2016.

Little Victoria's body was found dismembered in a bathtub in her mother's Albuquerque, New Mexico, home. Detectives believe that Gonzales and his 32-year-old cousin, Jessica Kelley, murdered her.

Martens told investigators that before Victoria's death that she had looked for men online to rape her daughter.

Martens, Gonzales, and Kelley are currently in jail while awaiting trial.

They Were Having Car Trouble When They Opened Up The Hood And Found This Nightmare

When your car stops working and you need to have it fixed, you most likely wonder about what went wrong under the hood.

But what these people experienced while driving through Karoi, Zimbabwe, isn't what anyone would expect to be the source of their vehicle's engine issues.

When Ben Mostert began having car troubles, he and his family opened up the hood to see if they could identify the cause of the problem. To say they were surprised by what they found is quite an understatement.

Nothing to see here, just a huge African rock python.

You've Seen This Pie-In-The-Face Game, But This Dog Totally Changed The Rules

Though we've made countless attempts over the years, my siblings and I have never been able to finish a game of Monopoly.

One of us always ends up flipping the board and sending all of the pieces flying across the room because we simply can't last the many hours it takes to trudge through it. The same is true for plenty of board games.

One game that's recently grown in popularity, however, is Pie Face, which requires far less skill and time than many of its competitors. In fact, it's so easy a dog could do it...sort of. Whether this pooch was sick of its humans playing or just craving a treat, it doesn't really matter. Either way, the dog's method for ending their fun is pretty hilarious.

"Don't mind if I do."

If A Man Didn't Want To Get Divorced In The 19th Century, He Could Do This Instead

Divorce rates in the United States currently stand at around 40 to 50 percent.

While that's a decline from recent years, the low rate of marriage success often makes people long for the days when couples would stay together. Historically, though, some practices indicate that even though people weren't getting divorced, they were still finding ways to move on from their unhappy marriages.

One custom that seems absolutely insane now is the practice of wife selling, where a man would sell his wife at auction to the highest bidder.

In 1800s Europe, women and children were considered property. Men who were unhappy with their wives or fell on hard times could bring their spouses to market and sell them.

 

Divorce wasn't an option for most common folk because it required an Act of Parliament and permission from a church. This cost the equivalent of $15,000 in today's currency.

Women who wanted to leave an unhappy or abusive situation could also ask to be sold, and usually the decision was hers to make. If she disliked a buyer, she could decline

 

 

Wife selling wasn't exactly legal, but it was common among the poor, and law enforcement didn't enforce the rule often.

While we might think wife selling is insane today, it shows just how much marriage was an economic agreement instead of an expression of love. Marriages didn't even require ceremonies before 1753 -- they were just agreements.

 

Unfortunately, this practice sometimes still happens, though now it is often linked to poverty and debt.

This Man's Grave Is Surrounded By Chains For A Very Bizarre Reason

Have you ever wondered what a vampire's grave would look like? In the British Isles, one supposed vampire has been dead for over a century, but his grave is still surrounded by chains and concrete.

According to legend, 54-year-old Matthew Halsall died in Castletown, Isle of Man, in 1854. As is customary, parishioners had a wake and drank to his memory. How much they drank is up for debate, but things definitely took a turn for the bizarre.

As Halsall's friends and family attended his wake, they heard a loud groan coming from inside his coffin. Immediately, they rushed to open the casket, believing that he might still be alive.

Sadly, Halsall was still as dead as ever. The logical next step? Assume he's a vampire and put a stake through his heart, of course!

 

After Halsall was buried, his grave was covered in a thick slab of cement. If that wasn't enough to keep the "vampire" from rising from the dead, parishioners also surrounded the gravesite with chains, which locals believed deterred supernatural spirits.

 

It's likely that the "groan" mourners heard was simply air escaping Halsall's body. Today, coroners remove this air by pressing on the chest and windpipe, but back in 1884, the phenomenon was enough to make anyone scream "vampire.

If The New Mom In Your Life Is Showing These Signs, She Could Need Your Help

When 32-year-old Florence Leung found out that she was expecting a baby boy, she was over the moon with joy. Sadly, shortly after giving birth, she began suffering from postpartum depression (PPD).

According to Postpartum Progress, one in seven new and pregnant moms suffer from postpartum depression, yet it's something that's rarely discussed in mainstream culture. As a result, many women feel that they have to hide the disorder without seeking the help they so desperately need. In some cases, this fear of exposure can be fatal.

Just two months after her son was born, Leung disappeared. A few weeks later, she was found dead near her home in an apparent suicide. Friends and family were devastated. Had they missed warning signs of PPD?

 

 

Katherine Stone, CEO and founder of Postpartum Progress, recently sat down with Today to share four signs of PPD that everyone should watch for in new and expecting moms. As someone who has suffered from the disorder firsthand, she knows exactly what she's talking about.

1. Uncontrollable Feelings Of Rage

 

 

A little irritability is to be expected when you're uncomfortably pregnant or caring for a fussy baby, but if a new mom is suffering from uncontrollable rage, it could be a warning sign of PPD. Red flags include things like flying off the handle, screaming and cursing, and getting upset for illogical reasons.

If these are especially out of character for your loved one, encourage them to seek professional help immediately. Remember, it's not them that's to blame, but hormones that are coursing through their body.

2. Extreme Anxiety

 

Every new parent worries about their baby, but extreme anxiety coupled with irrational fear is a symptom of PPD that should not be ignored.

Stone shared that in her case, she was afraid to bathe her newborn son. As unreasonable as it sounds, she was terrified that he would drown. Over time, these types of fears will wear a person down, both mentally and physically

Although it's perfectly normal for moms to want to spend as much time as possible at home with their newborns, completely withdrawing from the world could be a sign that something more serious is going on. Failing to return phone calls, visit with close friends and family, or communicate with their partner are all signs of PPD.

As Stone said, "If she's not communicating like before and seems sort of closed down -- that's something we can all see in people, if we start paying attention."

4. Changes In Sleeping And/Or Eating Patterns

 

There are definitely going to be changes in everyone's sleeping and eating patterns with a new baby in the house, but that said, insomnia, eating too much, and/or eating too little can severely affect one's health in just a short amount of time.

Instead of just asking what you can do, make concrete plans to take the baby for a walk or out to run errands while mom gets some shut eye or enjoys a soothing bath. Sometimes moms just need some alone time to get their heads straight, but if the issue persists, don't hesitate to seek professional help.

Parents Decide Letting Their Kids Ride An Alligator Is A Reasonable Thing To Do

Alligators are basically living dinosaurs, and they're totally deadly.

Floridians often encounter them hanging out in their swimming pools or on golf courses where they're not bothering anyone. We were all recently reminded when a two-year-old died at Disney World, however, that these are wild beasts that are not meant to come into contact with humans.

I grew up going to reptile sanctuaries that housed alligators, and sometimes park rangers would even let us kids feel the scales of a carefully controlled baby alligator handled by an expert. Jim Nesci's "Cold Blooded Creatures" program is taking the idea of educating kids about reptiles to a new and potentially dangerous level.

We can see here a child riding on the back of a full-grown alligator during one of Nesci's performances.

It's important to remember that not only are the children at risk, but the alligators are, too. Unlike horses, camels, or pack animals, an alligator's back is not built to support the weight of a human.

This video captures a harrowing moment where the alligator freezes up and doesn't respond to commands for several seconds before complying.
