Check this surveillance video out. It’s from a pawn shop in New Orleans. This guy shows his little 2 year old toddler son how to hold and use an AK47 assault rifle and tells him stuff like “you can grow up and be a soldier”. Ridiculous.

MANCHESTER, Conn. - A man landed in hot water after police say he hid a tiny camera in a shampoo bottle to watch two of his female roommates as they took showers.
A male roommate, curious why the shampoo wasn’t moved for some time, found wires protruding from the back of the bottle, then called police, authorities said.
The camera recorded through a pinhole, and the images were sent to Steven Thibodeau’s television, police said. Thibodeau, 25, had placed the camera to record the women showering and made video of one of them changing clothes, according to police.
Thibodeau was arraigned Wednesday on 15 counts of voyeurism and one count of evidence tampering, which alleges he tried to delete some images.
He was being held in jail on $250,000 bail. The defense attorney who attended his arraignment was out of the office Thursday and could not be reached for comment.
Police said Thibodeau made a compilation video of one of the women, but they have no evidence he transferred the files to the Internet. It wasn’t yet known how long the shampoo had been wired.
Indianapolis - For months it’s been a well-kept secret. But now Warren Township Schools confirm a disturbing case of sex in the classroom. The illicit activity has parents concerned and a district at a loss for words.
Shop class gives students a chance to learn outside of the book. But at Warren Township’s Raymond Park Middle School, two students engaged in illicit acts in view of goggled eyes.
13 Investigates was tipped off by a disturbed resident who writes:
“…during school hours in a classroom with an experienced teacher present, two sixth graders completed the act of intercourse…at least ten students were witnesses. No disciplinary actions were taken against the teacher… All teachers were told to keep quiet.”
Middle school students having sex in a busy classroom while a teacher is present? Warren Township Associate Superintendent Jeff Swensson confirmed it’s true. It’s been kept under wraps since November.
The principal at Raymond Park Middle School would not speak to us about the incident or parents concerns. The superintendent in charge of middle schools in the district also backed out of an on-camera interview and instead provided a three-sentence statement:
“Two students were involved in inappropriate conduct in a lab class last semester. We have investigated the matter and taken appropriate action. The school corporation considers the matter closed and will have no further comment.”
Associate Superintendent Jeff Swensson told Eyewitness News off camera the teacher didn’t know what was going on because another student acted as a “look-out.” But once the teacher discovered the behavior, immediate action was taken. Swensson says the students involved were recommended for expulsion. But he did not say whether the board followed that recommendation.
Warren Township School Police were not aware of the incident and say no report was made even though the children were recommended for expulsion.
We sought comment from all seven Warren Township School Board Members about how this case was handled. No one was available to speak with us.
It’s illegal to walk into a department store, grab women’s clothing and other merchandise, masturbate on it all and then leave.
It might just be dumb to go back afterward.
That’s how police ended up finding and charging 20-year-old Joseph Eric Renno with open lewdness last week.
According to court records:
Renno, of the 300 block of W. Reliance Road in Franconia Township, was spotted taking magazines and clothes into a dressing room at the Wal-Mart off Route 309 in Richland Township on March 1.
The store’s loss prevention officer suspected he might be trying to steal things when he walked out of the dressing room a bit later without the merchandise.
She went to check the dressing room and found the magazines and a man’s shirt, plus panties and a bra. She also found a thick substance she believed to be semen on the items and the dressing room mirror.
The merchandise, valued at $36, was destroyed except for the shirt, which police kept as evidence.
Another Wal-Mart employee told police the man frequented the store; she knew him as ”Eric.” Employees promised to call police if the man returned.
He did last Friday.
Police went to the Wal-Mart when employees called, found Renno and took him to headquarters for questioning. He admitted masturbating on the mirror and the merchandise, police said.
Richland Police Chief Larry Cerami said there’s no evidence Renno planned to masturbate on more items when he returned to the store.
He declined to answer other questions about the case, including ones about Renno’s motive and which magazines he took to the dressing room.
”It’s quite an offensive case, and I think we ought to just let the system do what the system has to do at this point,” Cerami said.
In addition to open lewdness, Renno is charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. He was released after he was charged. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 12, and a district judge could decide then if the case merits setting bail.
A woman who answered the phone at Renno’s house Wednesday afternoon hung up when a reporter asked to speak with him.
A manager at the Richland Wal-Mart referred questions about the incident to a corporate spokeswoman.
”Out of respect for our customers and associates, we certainly do not tolerate inappropriate behavior in our Wal-Mart locations,” spokeswoman Marisa Bluestone said, ”and we’ve worked closely with our local authorities to help capture this individual.”
Here’s a tip for the guy who beat up a 101-year-old woman in a walker and took off with her purse: Get out of New York.
The vicious mugging, caught on surveillance tape, has sparked outrage in a city where people are accustomed to hearing about strange and violent crimes. Police have launched an all-out manhunt, but it’s not just the cops who want the villain’s head.
“I could hold him, and let the woman beat him up,” said Joe Sarju, 59, who lives in the Queens neighborhood where the attack occurred. “I’d love to beat him, but then they would lock me up.”
The heartlessness of the March 4 attack is clearly conveyed on the grainy, black-and-white videotape, which has now been broadcast well beyond New York.
In it, 101-year-old Rose Morat is trying to leave her apartment building to go to church. The mugger, a man who looms over the senior citizen and is holding on to a bicycle, pretends to help her get through the vestibule.
Then, he turns to grab Morat’s head and delivers three hard punches to her face, and swipes her purse. The dazed victim tries to reach for her purse when the mugger hits her again, pushing her and her walker to the ground.
He got away with $33 and Morat’s house keys. She suffered a fractured cheekbone and spent time in the hospital. The attack didn’t break Morat’s spirit, though: She has said in the days since that if she had been just a bit younger, she would have gone after the guy.
“I’m a very strong woman,” she said. “I’ve been that way my whole life.”
The NYPD has assigned dozens of detectives to the case and shown every uniformed officer in the city the surveillance video. Police are canvassing nearby residential buildings and businesses.
They believe the same man also attacked 85-year-old Solange Elizee, another neighborhood resident, shortly after robbing Morat. Elizee suffered facial cuts and bruises. The mugger took off with $32 and her wedding band.
Based on the victims’ memories and the tape, police say the attacker is a black man in his 30s, about 5 feet 10 and 165 pounds. He wore a winter jacket with a fur-lined hood. Police said Tuesday there were no new developments.
Several posters have been placed throughout the generally quiet Queens neighborhood, urging anyone with information to call with tips. So far, at least $18,000 in reward money is being promised by several sources, including the police.
On Tuesday, lawmakers in the state Senate proposed making it a felony to assault anyone older than 70. Currently, such assaults are misdemeanors, punishable by no more than a year in jail.
Meanwhile, New Yorkers struggled for the right words to describe the attacker because expletives just don’t seem adequate. In interviews and letters to newspapers, some suggested he deserves life imprisonment — or perhaps until he’s 101.
John Brown, 45, said the mugger must have been on drugs, because no rational person would do such a thing. “That was a cowardly act,” he fumed.
Others were reminded of the perils that could face their own parents and grandparents. Some wondered whether the mugger’s mother was alive.
“My mom is 95, and if someone ever raised a hand to her … they’d be dead,” said Anthony Riccardelli, 58, who works near the crime scene.
For others, it’s not just about getting revenge. Glenridge senior center in Queens decided to bring back self-defense courses after receiving dozens of phone calls on the topic after the attacks.
Susan Simonetti, the center’s executive director, also had a warning for the mugger: “Pick on somebody your own age.”
LAREDO, Texas (AP) — A citywide scavenger hunt turned sour for 40 Texas high school students when police learned of it and arrested them on felony charges of theft and engaging in organized criminal activity.
Laredo police accused the students — most of them in their final year at Laredo high schools — of stealing up to five truckloads of loot from across town. The scavenger list included items such as city traffic signs and pinatas, police said.
“We will cooperate fully, review the case and collaborate with officials to determine all the facts,” said Marco Alvarado, spokesman for the Laredo school district. “If needed, we will take appropriate action as specified in the student Code of Conduct.”
Police arrested the 32 adults and eight juveniles March 2. The students’ names were not released.
Officers first uncovered the escapade when a group of five students was pulled over for speeding. Their car contained stolen stop signs, a garden hose and other items, police said.
A short time later, the police department started receiving calls from residents who were angry about commotion caused by cars speeding in their neighborhood and stopping at a vacant lot.
Police determined the lot to be a drop-off point for stolen items. Officers arrested the students as they made drop-offs, the department said.
The older students were taken to jail, while the younger students were taken to a juvenile detention center. The police also impounded several of the students’ vehicles.
Juan Cruz, an attorney for United Independent School District, said the district would review the criminal charges on Monday and figure out what action to take.
A third-degree felony charge of engaging in organized criminal activity is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A state jail felony theft charge is punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
NEW YORK (AP) — For a moment, the man in the grainy video looks like a good Samaritan holding the door open for an elderly neighbor. Then he turns and delivers three sharp punches to the 101-year-old woman’s head.
“The next thing I knew, I had a big bang on the side of my face,” said Rose Morat, who suffered a fractured cheekbone and lost her purse and $33 to the mugger.
The attack was captured by a surveillance camera in the lobby of her Queens apartment building last Sunday.
“I’m quite sure that if it had happened when I was younger, I would have been after him,” she said. “I’m a very strong woman. I’ve been that way my whole life.”
Police said the same man is believed to have later attacked a second elderly woman in the neighborhood. Investigators were searching for a suspect Saturday.
“We are pulling out all the stops to find him,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement. “We want to stop him before he strikes again.”
Morat said she was headed to church when she met the man in her lobby. He offered to help her make her way out, but she declined.
“I know how to handle myself,” she said.
As Morat maneuvered her walker through the building’s small vestibule, the man slowly put his bicycle against the wall, turned, and attacked her, the security video showed.
Her hat flew off, but she remained on her feet as the man removed her bag and felt her coat pockets.
Then, before making his escape, he punched her in the head again and shoved her to the ground.
Morat spent three days in the hospital.
The 85-year-old woman believed to be the mugger’s second victim, Solange Elizee, told police she was punched and pushed to the floor outside her apartment door by a man who had initially offered to help her get home.
“I like to help old people,” he said before turning violent, according to Elizee.
The man took her purse and got away with $32, police said.
RACINE, Wisconsin (AP) — An accused child molester in Wisconsin cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet, then took a limousine to Chicago to appear on “The Jerry Springer Show,” authorities said.
A judge set bail Friday at $50,000 for Mario Sims, 21, who had been awaiting trial on 2004 charges of child enticement and first-degree sexual assault of a child.
Defense lawyer Margaret Johnson argued against the bail amount, but Racine County Circuit Judge Emily Mueller stood firm.
“A significant bond is legally necessary given the fact he absconded, admittedly for one of the more unique reasons I’ve heard in my time on the bench,” the judge said.
According to court records, Sims had been out of jail about three weeks when he cut off the bracelet and missed a court date September 6. His defense attorney at the time, Domingo Cruz, told the judge his client was seen getting into the television show’s limousine.
Sims appeared on an episode of the show that aired last fall.
A TV.com Web site teaser for it said: “Outrageous nuptials! Returning guest Mario is a proud father and is ready to marry his baby’s mother — who’s also his half-sister.”
A message left for Johnson was not returned Friday. A message left for a producer of the “Jerry Springer Show” was not immediately returned Saturday morning.
STEVENS POINT, Wis., March 7 (UPI) — A man called police in Stevens Point, Wis., and claimed he was unsuccessful in trying to break into St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
Officials told the Stevens Point Journal the 24-year-old caller said he needed help after trying Saturday night to bash his way through the door with a metal shovel. Police officers met the man in the church parking lot.
Police reports said the man told officers he wanted to get married at the church. Officers searched the man and said they discovered marijuana in a “prescription bottle.”
The man then reportedly showed police his house, pointing out more marijuana. He allegedly stated he was also storing stolen prescription muscle relaxants.
Police arrested the man. The paper said “tentative charges” were filed, alleging criminal property damage and possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and prescription drugs.
Capt. Kevin Ruder told the Journal the case is “definitely a weird one.”
