Terica Scott and Dineshia Yates, both 26, have been booked after leaving eight kids ranging in age from 11 months to 12 years old home alone in Baton Rouge
Yates' daughter Blessing Buckles suffered a brain bleed and died after the attack by juvenile suspects - who are Scott's son, 10, and her nephew, 12
East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said they responded to a call about Blessing being unconscious at Scott's home on O'Neal lane on February 12
The pair are close friends but not related, and they both have criminal records.
Yates was previously arrested for stealing clothes from a Walmart and belongings from a home in 2017, according to WBRZ.
She also reportedly launched a brick through the windshield of another woman's car in 2020.
Scott was charged with murder in 2021 for allegedly shooting a woman to death, but she was never indicted by a grand jury.
She was also charged with arson in 2023 for allegedly setting fire to a car outside someone's home.
Witnesses said Scott tampered with security cameras to try to avoid detection, according to a WBRZ report from the time.
Her booking photo for the murder case shows her from the chest up with bare shoulders and her hair tied back. A heart-shaped tattoo is visible in the middle of her chest.
'A case like this is devastating,' Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said in a statement following the recent arrests.
'My heart breaks for this child lost too soon, and I pray for the others involved. Please call law enforcement immediately if you are ever aware of abuse, neglect or desertion of children.'

[Blaze] A Texas man in a kilt was arrested after several shoppers reported seeing him grab items at two antique stores, shove them into his rectum, and then return them to store shelves.
Harris County Constable Mark Herman said in a post on Facebook that his office heard from several concerned citizens about the kilted man at an antique store on Feb. 15.
Police said they were able to identify the man as Mitchell Cooper Vest and arrested him.
KPRC-TV obtained some of the surveillance video of the man and included it in the report. It shows Vest walking around an antique store before appearing to stick an item under his kilt.

My grandparents had an antique store in NH years ago. They had problems with shoplifters. I am not sure that this man would have made it out of their store without a fractured cranium. Grammies best rolling pin would have ended up in an evidence bag along with a tasteful but besmirched Fenton fairy light.

[DM] Americans were sold the promise that electric vehicles would bring production companies and an influx of jobs to small towns nationwide as part of a modern day goldrush.
However, as interest in EVs has slipped, lithium and nickel facilities – metals used in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles – are taking cost-cutting measures including mass layoffs and suspending operations.
The demand for electric vehicles surged in 2022, rising by 76 percent in April of that year, but by the end of 2023, the number of vehicles sold dropped to just 50 percent.
Car buyers are still reluctant to trade in their gas-guzzling vehicle for an EV over the high price tag and concerns about their ability to easily charge the vehicle.
The waning interest in EVs has caused the price of lithium to dropped by 90 percent since January of last year.
In response, Ford has slashed 1,400 jobs at its once-promising lithium factory in Michigan while General Motors laid off all of its nearly 1,000 workers at its plant in Detroit with the promise that employees will be re-hired in 2025.

No we weren't.
If we were, there wouldn't be such mass disinterest and rejection.
What that was, was government justification for its actions. You know, DM, like Covid response.

The West African country has been under military rule since President Alpha Conde's ousting in 2021
Military leaders in Guinea have dissolved the government without explanation, saying they will appoint a new one, the president's secretary general said.
Gen. Amara Camara, in a video address on Monday night, added that daily business would continue as usual under the deputy secretary generals until a new government was formed.
The West African nation has been led by a military regime since soldiers ousted President Alpha Conde in 2021. The West African regional bloc known as ECOWAS has pushed for a quick transition back to civilian rule and elections are scheduled for 2025.
Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, chief of staff of the armed forces, said Monday that members of the dissolved government had to return their vehicles and passports as soon as possible. Their bodyguards also had to end their service and the ministers' bank accounts were frozen, he added.
Col. Mamadi Doumbouya, who leads the country, overran the president three years ago, saying he was preventing Guinea from slipping into chaos and chastised the previous government for broken promises.
However, since coming to power he's been criticized for being no better than his predecessor.
"Today life has become more expensive and more difficult," said Misbaou Doumbouya, a political analyst. "It is time for Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya to assume his responsibilities."
[GoobjoogNews] South African troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... have suffered their first fatalities since their recent deployment to quell a rebellion. Two soldiers were killed and three were maimed after a mortar bomb landed in their base on Wednesday.
The attack has led to South African opposition politicians calling for the withdrawal of troops from DR Congo.
The troops are part of a regional force helping DR Congo’s military as it confronts a series of gangs.
The most prominent group is the M23, which has taken up positions on the major routes leading into Goma, the main city in the east of DR Congo. The M23’s advance has resulted in tens of thousands being forced from their homes — adding to the nearly seven million who have fled because of multiple conflicts in the east.
But the South African army has not linked Wednesday’s attack to the M23.
In a statement, it says the "details of this incident are still sketchy".
South Africa began deploying troops to eastern DR Congo in December under the banner of the 16-member regional bloc, the Southern African Development Community (SADC). They are taking over from the Kenyan-led East African Force (EAF), which left in December — about a year after it was welcomed by President Félix Tshisekedi.
He was re-elected in December for a second term in office — and one of his key campaign promises was to tackle the insecurity that has wracked the east of the country for three decades.
Damn those juices for white-hatting humanity yet again.
[Ynet] The research group of the Israeli-American cyber company Imperva revealed on Monday a series of security vulnerabilities in the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT. According to the researchers, these vulnerabilities could have allowed hackers to take over user accounts without the need for login information. This is a severe problem that could have revealed a lot of personal information due to the diverse tasks undertaken by the chatbot and the fact that it saves conversation histories.
ChatGPT currently has about 180 million registered users, so the breach could have affected millions of users worldwide and allowed hackers to gain full access to every account on the platform. The vulnerabilities could have been exploited through ChatGPT's file upload mechanism and its citation function from those files.
Additionally, another XSS vulnerability was found that originated in the way ChatGPT cites websites; that is, its ability to read websites. This allowed the company's researchers to run malicious code on the AI platform by embedding it in a malicious website.
[Hot Air] The curious suspension of Robert Malley grows even more curious -- and perhaps just as curious as how he got hired at all, if not more.
Joe Biden's special envoy to Iran got mysteriously suspended last spring by the State Department, but the White House never informed Congress of it. The Tehran Times somehow acquired and published the State Department's suspension memo last September, much to the chagrin of Congress, which demanded some answers toute suite on Malley's status. Does Bob have a home in Rehoboth Beach by chance ?
Now Semafor reports that the State Department's IG wants some answers, too. Nearly a month ago, the IG office informed the relevant congressional committees that they would expand their existing probe into Malley's conduct to include members of the State Department involved in the suspension -- and what took place afterward. This is in addition to the FBI investigation into the conduct that resulted in the suspension in the first place:

[Regnum] The Ugandan authorities welcome the search for alternative options to the SWIFT payment system, as they will help resist blackmail and politicization of financial transactions by the West. This was stated by Ugandan Foreign Minister Jeje Odongo on February 19 on the sidelines of the African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
As Odongo noted in an interview with RIA Novosti, the West actually blackmails African states if it does not agree with their political course, threatening to shut down payment systems.
In his opinion, Western countries can impose similar sanctions for the connection of any African country with Russia.
“An alternative to the existing SWIFT is something desirable, something we need to explore so that, like Africa, we have options. You can use SWIFT or you can use what the Russians are developing, so that in case of blackmail, politicization of financial transactions, there are options,” said the head of the Ugandan Foreign Ministry.
As Regnum reported, on January 30, Bank of Russia Chairman Elvira Nabiullina said that many countries are thinking about the possibility of an alternative to the existing system of international payments, which has become risky. According to her, businesses interested in developing economic, trade, and investment relations will definitely begin to look for alternatives to the existing system, which contains risks.
On January 17, the First Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank, Vladimir Chistyukhin, presented a presentation at the international exhibition and forum “Russia”, from which it followed that 20 countries of the world were already connected to the SWIFT analogue created by the Bank of Russia - the Financial Message Transmission System (SPFS). It was specified that 557 banks and companies were operating in the system at that time, including 159 non-residents from 20 countries.
[GEO.TV] Senate rejected a bill seeking to publicly execute those convicted of rape with a majority vote on Monday, with parliamentarians strongly opposing the idea as a "counter-effective measure in deterring sexual crimes".
The upper house of parliament rejected the move to amend the Pakistain Penal Code,1860, and Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, through the Criminal Laws (Amendment) Bill 2023 with a 24:14 vote.
The bill presented by Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... ’s (JI) Senator Mushtaq Ahmed was supported by Senators Mehr Taj Roghani, Kamran Murtaza, Maulana Faiz Muhammad, Hafiz Abdul Kareem, Kamal Ali Agha, Abdul Qadir, and others.
The senators who had voted against the bill called for improved prosecutions, investigations for combating sexual crimes, and a better jail environment to ensure that such heinous crimes are averted in the future.
Defending his proposal after it had been defeated, JI’s Mushtaq said the senators did not talk about the "basic issue" and noted that the politicians spoke about "brutality" becoming rife due to public executions, but it’s already rife.
"I want to halt brutality through public executions. Did the motorway rape case woman and Zainab have no respect? [How] does a rapist have respect?" he wondered, claiming that publicly hanging such criminals would act as a "deterrence".
Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... -Fazl’s (JUI-F) Faiz Muhammad, backing Mushtaq, said that culprits who commit such heinous crimes should be hanged publicly.
Voicing concerns, Pakistain Peoples Party’s (PPP) Senator Sherry Rehman strongly opposed the proposal, calling it a counter-effective measure in deterring sexual crimes, and urged improved prosecutions and investigations to address the matter.
Speaking during the session of the Senate, she said: "The Peoples Party has always had a principled stance against the death penalty , whether public or private."
"While the PPP staunchly condemns rape as a heinous and grave crime, calling for the death penalty or public executions, as seen in various countries, have not proven to be effective in deterring sexual crimes. We must prioritise enhancing prosecutions and investigations rather than resorting to barbarism and violence within society."

[Rudaw] Kurdistan Region police on Sunday arrested a person in connection with a video of people insulting Christian graves in a cemetery in Shaqlawa, Erbil province.
In the video shared on Tiktok, at least two people are seen hitting and kicking Christian graves and making derogatory comments.
The incident was widely condemned. Kurdistan Regional Government’s Transport Minister Ano Abdoka, who is a Christian, wrote on X that he had brought the video to the attention of the governor, security forces, and the public prosecutor.
An individual was arrested and will be "brought to court to receive his just punishment in accordance with the law," Abdoka said.
"In Kurdistan, there is no tolerance for those who want to disturb coexistence and tolerance. In Kurdistan, religions are not insulted, brotherhood is protected, and human dignity is preserved above all else," he added.
The Kurdistan Region’s Independent Human Rights Commission on Sunday said in a statement that the individual who recorded the video and was detained is a minor and is being held in a correctional facility for women and kiddies.
A team from the commission met with the individual. "He admitted that he did it because he wanted to become famous on social networks and now regrets it," it said.
"These behaviors are the result of bully boy speeches and seeds of hatred that people constantly sow in society and make such people insult religions and the sanctity of beliefs," the commission added.
The Kurdistan Region prides itself on its religious tolerance and multiculturalism. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... authorities often face criticism from minority groups who complain about a lack of effort to protect their history that they fear is being erased with sites vulnerable to theft or damage.
In March last year, a nearly 3000-year-old Assyrian site in Duhok was vandalized and defaced by unknown individuals for the third time in seven years.
Iraq’s Christian community has been devastated in the past two decades. Following the US-led invasion in 2003, sectarian warfare prompted followers of Iraq’s multiple Christian denominations to flee, and attacks by ISIS in 2014 hit minority communities especially hard.
When ISIS took over Iraq's second-largest city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... in 2014, the terror group embarked on a campaign to destroy large amounts of artifacts and antiquities, including the 2015 bulldozing of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud, the destruction of Hatra, and the demolition of the Mosul museum.
Fewer than 300,000 Christians remain in Iraq today, according to data obtained by Rudaw English from Erbil's Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Matti Warda in 2022.
[Rudaw] Iraq and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... on Monday exchanged the remains of 45 individuals who had gone missing in the course of the eight-year-long war in the 1980s, the Iraqi defense ministry announced.
The Iraqi defense ministry’s human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. directorate conducted the exchange of the remains with the Iranian side in Basra province, under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC).
"The remains of 35 Iranians found within Iraqi territory during joint search operations in the Basra, Maysan, Wasit, and Diyala regions were handed over to the Iranian side. The remains of ten Iraqi deaders were received in an official ceremony," read a statement from the Iraqi defense ministry.
The remains belonged to individuals who had gone missing during the eight-year-long war which saw the two neighboring countries pitted against each other between 1980, the year following the birth of the Islamic Theocratic Republic, and 1988. The war shaped the young theocracy and contributed to fueling antagonism against the US which supported former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s forces in the war.
The remains of the ten missing Iraqis will be sent to Baghdad’s forensics medicine department for further examination, said the ministry.
Iranian state media, IRNA, published images of Iran's reception of the missing nationals' remains from Iraq, on the same day. Family and tribe members of soldiers killed in the war attended the reception ceremony.
Tehran and Baghdad in 2008 signed an agreement under the ICRC auspices regarding the exchange of information and handing over remains of missing persons during the war. The remains of hundreds of soldiers have been returned since then.
[The Hill] A new study on COVID-19 vaccines that looked at nearly 100 million vaccinated individuals affirmed the vaccines’ previously observed links to increased risks for certain adverse effects including myocarditis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Does Bob have a home in Rehoboth Beach by chance ?
The study was conducted by the Global COVID Vaccine Safety project and took into account 99,068,901 vaccinated individuals across eight countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand and Scotland.
The report specifically looked at adverse events following administration of the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines.
The researchers looked for 13 adverse events of special interest that occurred in vaccine recipients for up to 42 days after shots were administered. These conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s palsy, convulsions, myocarditis and pericarditis.
Researchers observed a "significant increase" in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome among those who received the AstraZeneca vaccine with 42 days of administration.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] "An international coalition of vaccine experts looked for 13 medical conditions among 99 million vaccine recipients across eight countries in order to identify higher rates of those conditions after receiving the shots. They confirmed that the shots made by Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca are linked to significantly higher risk of five medical conditions ..."
But still the Virus itself still killed about 6x more than the VAX is stated to have, based on Government provided data.
Plus the more VAX boosters a person received, also increased the likelihood a person could experience a VAX related adverse reactions later.
SUMMARY:
Like playing Russian Roulette, but adding a bullet with each spin.

Until (unless) we get an accurate count of patient who died directly "from" COVID as opposed to dying with COVID listed as a secondary or tertiary cause we'll have no idea if the vaccine actually worked or actually caused more harm than good.
Everything else is speculation and conjecture, not data.

I know what we should do. We need to get Sen. Ron Johnson to have a committee and a hearing. That should get to the bottom of this and begin to hold those responsible accountable. Yeah, that'll do it.
There is no credibility. The extrapolation of data can be added to with those who are Traders of Information make record. Which will never happen; going on record one way or another is admitting there should be questions.

[Regnum] At least 53 people were killed during tribal clashes in Enga province in Papua New Guinea, ABC News reported on February 19, citing Australian media.
Papua New Guinea's acting police commissioner, George Kakas, told reporters that this was the worst mass killing that law enforcement had seen not only in the region, but throughout the country.
“The [police] officers who arrived at the scene were devastated and depressed by what they saw,” he added.
The police commissioner said the death toll was ongoing and the number could rise to 65.
It is noted that inter-tribal clashes in Enge province have been occurring for several years; police have repeatedly tried to prevent the supply of firearms and ammunition to the region in order to avoid violence. Moreover, in 2023 alone, more than 60 people were killed in the province; 17 different tribes were previously involved in the clashes.
As Regnum reported, on the evening of January 19, riots broke out in Papua New Guinea, accompanied by acts of vandalism and looting against the backdrop of an announced strike by police, military and correctional officers. As a result, nine people died in the capital Port Moresby, and seven more in Lae. Dozens of citizens received various injuries and burns, and therefore the capital’s hospitals were forced to stop accepting new patients.
In March 2020, a clash between warring tribes in Papua New Guinea killed eleven people, including three children. Local authorities emphasized that the feud between the Miape and Okiru tribes claimed many lives. They appealed to the president of the country with calls to declare a state of emergency in the Highlands region, as well as to detain the leaders of the warring tribes.
