Sick News From Around the World

Everyday I have rituals to surf the internet only to search and read the news, especially for the unsual news (LOL) from all over the world. Yes, ofcourse for my own curiosity and pleasure. And today I found this interesting Classic Nude website about Striptease and Bellydancers from old times. Those very old photos. All photos are still in black and white. Also an excellent website about a house built in the style of a Led-Zeppelin- album-cover Hobbit House.

OK. But still sometimes I can not believe that this "sad" but "sick" things actually happened somewhere on the world,.... like in this news below.

Missing boy found with mother's corpse :
December 6, 2003
South Korean teachers who broke into the house of a student who had missed class for six months found the 15-year-old boy living next to his dead mother's badly decomposed remains, police said yesterday. The boy, identified only by his surname Song, had been absent from school for more than six months and lived on rice delivered to his home under the government's welfare program, the police said. He did not report the death of his mother, a 45-year-old widow who died on June 4, police said. "The boy later said he didn't want to show his dead mother to anyone," said an officer at the police station in Ichon, a small satellite city west of the capital Seoul. The police officer said the woman, who suffered from diabetes, apparently died of her illness. Authorities would conduct an autopsy on her skeletal remains, he said. Two teachers from Song's school broke into the house yesterday. They found the boy inside and the electricity and gas had long been cut off. "One of the teachers had visited the house last month but did not realise what had happened inside, although the teacher noticed a bad smell and mold," said the officer. Police said the boy was long a frequent truant, often citing his mother's illness. This had lead to the long delay in checking the house. Song is being cared for by one of his teachers, the officer said.

Girl, 10, locked in cell for years by parents :
November 28, 2003
A 10-year-old girl in southern China has been rescued after being locked up alone for four years in a dark cell built by her parents, a news report said yesterday. The girl was discovered locked up in the four-metre-square shed in Jiangmen, Guangdong province, with no windows and only a few holes for ventilation in its metal door. Her parents and older sister meanwhile lived comfortably in a nearby three-storey house, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily. The girl's parents, who run a liquor distillery, wanted a male heir and were disappointed when a second daughter was born, the newspaper said. The girl was small for her age and talked little and her parents said they had not sent her to school because she was "stupid" and would be a "burden to teachers". The mother said she planned to keep her daughter locked up until her condition improved. The local Women's Federation is now considering taking legal action against the parents
