A 4-year-old Arkansas girl who was taken into protective custody after being zip-tied to her bed as punishment by her mother and her mother’s boyfriend thought her name was “idiot,” police said.

Jennifer Diane Denen, 30 and Clarence Eugene Reed, 47, were arrested last Friday on suspicion of domestic battery, permitting the abuse of a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor.

Hot Springs police officers responded to Cooper-Anthony Mercy Child Advocacy Center after human services workers and center employees examined the girl and determined she had been abused, according to an arrest report.

The Sentinel-Record reported that the child had deep purple bruising on her bottom, lower back and legs along with a black eye, swollen right cheek, a bruise on her forehead, healing scars across her back and dried blood in the corner of her mouth.(nypost.com)…[+]

A British hospital discovered it had become home to more than 100,000 bees when patients noticed honey dripping down the walls.

Beekeepers were summoned to Rockwood Hospital in Cardiff, Wales, after the discovery last month, and found a large colony of bees in the roof above a ward. Abigail Reade of the Tree Bee Society charity said Thursday that honey was “dripping through the ceiling tiles, it was dripping down the walls.” She said the hive had gone unnoticed for up to five years. It’s thought warm summer weather melted some of the wax, releasing the honey. Beekeepers from the society removed some 70,000 bees by cutting a hole in the roof. A second colony was removed from another part of the hospital this week.(nypost.com)…[+]

Donald Trump would deport the Afghanistan-born father of the killer responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in US history, the mogul said Wednesday.

“I’d throw him out,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity at a town hall that aired Wednesday night, referring to Hillary Clinton supporter Seddique Mateen. “If you look at him, I’d throw him out.”

Mateen, 59, was seen seated directly behind Clinton at a recent Florida rally. Later, the father of Omar Mateen told local affiliate NewsChannel 5 WPTV of West Palm Beach he wanted Clinton to beat Trump. “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions,” the father of the killer said. Trump joked that when he saw Mateen behind Clinton, he worried Mateen was wearing one of his signature hats. “He had the red cap on. I though it was one my caps. I said no, no,” Trump told Hannity. “Make America Great Again, I don’t think so.” The Clinton campaign tried to distance itself from Mateen’s endorsement.(nypost.com)…[+]
