Update: Missing 3-Year-Old Boy Found Dead in Montana



I am sad to report that Loic J.M. Rogers has been found in Montana. Since starting this website I have reported on quite a few children that have gone missing, but have never had to post such a tragic ending.

Few details are available. Here is what I was able to find.

The remains of a 3-year-old boy who disappeared outside a home in nearby Evergreen were discovered late Friday, Flathead County Sheriff Mike Meehan said Saturday.

Meehan declined to release further details surrounding the death of Loic J.M. Rogers. A press conference was scheduled Saturday afternoon.


Officials were looking into sex offenders in the area, and also interviewing neighbors and family members.


To make matters worse, the parents are recently separated and are currently in the middle of a custody battle.

My heart goes out to these parents and Loic’s other siblings. It makes you realise that you can’t turn your head for even a second.

"Match Made In Heaven"



This is HANDS DOWN the best picture I saw all week…maybe all month.

Ashton and Alina were born in the same NICU but stayed in different pods. They never met until their moms became friends and decided to schedule a play date. Alina is visually impaired and oxygen dependant. Ashton is hearing impaired and has cerebral palsy. When brought together they seemed to bring out the best in one another.


Twins Sisters Give Birth Hours Apart


Nicole Cramer and Naomi Sale are twin sisters who were both pregnant.

When Nicole went to the hospital to visit her sister’s baby, she had no idea that soon she would be delivering her own child. After visiting the new baby she went home because she was experiencing contractions.

Within hours, Cramer was in the delivery room of DeKalb Memorial Hospital.

After a 1 1/2-hour labor, Cramer delivered Carter Nathaniel Birchfield.

“This solidifies the theory on the bond between twins,” Weghorst said. “Even their uteri have a bond.”

Cramer and Sale celebrate their 23rd birthdays Jan. 29. They were due to give birth within a day of each other at the end of January, but Weghorst’s office didn’t figure out they were twins until they were eight months along.

The sisters explained, in unison, that they usually had their appointments on the same day, but at different times.

Weghorst, who has been in practice for eight years, said the close deliveries were a first for him.

“I’ve delivered two sets of twins in the same day, but never this,” he said.

What Is Really In Your Multivitamin?


Among 21 multivitamin products for adults and children independently selected and tested by ConsumerLab.com, problems were found with more than half — including unacceptably high levels of lead, and too much or too little of a particular ingredient.

Only 10 of the 21 products tested met their claims and other quality standards, according to ConsumerLab.com.

The company, based in White Plains, New York, is privately held and provides consumer information and independent evaluations of products that affect health and nutrition. According to the company, it is neither owned by nor has a financial interest in any companies that make, distribute or sell consumer products.

n a telephone interview with Reuters Health, Dr. Tod Cooperman, president of ConsumerLab.com, said one of the most serious problems was a women’s multivitamin that contained 15.3 micrograms of lead per daily dose. This is more than 10 times the amount of lead allowed without a warning label in the state of California, the only state to regulate lead in supplements.

“There is lead in small amounts in many foods and drink,” Cooperman said, “but the amount of lead in this multivitamin was more than you’d be exposed to from all the lead you are exposed to every day for about 5 days, and you’d be getting that every day from just the daily dose of this multivitamin.”

Another “disturbing finding,” Cooperman said, was a children’s vitamin that contained 216 percent of its labeled amount of vitamin A — an amount far in excess of the “upper tolerable intake level for kids under the age of 9,” Cooperman said. “Young kids should definitely be avoiding that amount of vitamin A in the retinol form,” he said.

Another multivitamin product — a strip that dissolves on the tongue — contained none of its claimed vitamin A; four other products, including a liquid product, came up short by 15 percent to 46 percent in amounts of vitamin A or folic acid.

“Several products had trouble breaking apart; they wouldn’t release their ingredients,” Cooperman said. These products may pass through the body without being fully utilized.

I am so sick of big companies getting away with doing whatever they want. These are vitamins that families take to increase their health - not decrease it.

If it weren’t for a third party testing facility the average person would have no idea if what the bottle says is true. I would be interested in knowing the names of the vitamin companies that failed. Unfortunately, I do not have a membership to consumerlab.com. On their site they list the 39 that were included in the test, but don’t name the 12 that failed.
