Summary: In Vienna, Austria, 19 year old Robert A. confessed to murdering his 49 year old roomate in a homeless shelter. Robert crushed his roomate's skull with a 20 lb. iron bar, used a butcher's knife to remove the man's intestines, and ate parts of the man's brain and internal organs. 3 days later, a cleaning lady came into the shelter and finds Robert by the dead body. Robert informs her of what he did to the man and tells her to call the police. The police came into the room and found Robert sitting by the dead body and half eaten body parts on a plate in the kitchen. Here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295139,00.html

Opinion: I think what the Austrian teen did to the man was disgusting! The teenager not only murdered him but he ate parts of his body. Professor Haller, a pyschiatrist, studied the case and said that he may be suffering from, "a severe psychosis or extreme sadistic urges." The psychiatrist can call it whatever he wants but in my words, i call it sick!

Summary: In Kansas City, a 20 year old woman gave birth to her baby in a McDonalds restraunt restroom and purposely tried to flush the baby down the toilet many times. The workers at first were worried and because she didn't come out of the bathroom, they went to go check on her. The workers saw what she had done and called the paramedics. The paramedics came and saw that the baby wasn't breathing and started CPR to get the baby breathing again. The baby fortunately survived and both the baby and mother was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295063,00.html

Opinion: I think it's very depressing about how this mother try to get rid of her new born baby. The woman actually told the paramedics that she didn't know she was pregnant. If a pregnant woman doesn't want to have the child, then they can put the baby up for adoption. Having a baby is a blessing.

Summary: Leona Helmsley, at the age of 87, died on August 20th. She was a hotel and real estate magnate. In her will, she stated that when she passes away, her precious dog would get $12 million. Many people were shocked to hear that a woman would leave that much money for a dog. Most of her money went to charity and she still made individual money gifts for some of her relatives except for her two grandchildren.

Opinion: Leaving $12 million for your dog is a joke! Why would anyone leave that much money for your pet? I can understand that she would do that if she had no one else to give it to but she probably had a lot of relatives to give it to. I feel bad for those two grandchildren that didn't get to have any of the money. It sucks to be them right now!
