A toddler was saved from drowning this week when their diaper acted as a flotation device. The child’s parents were involved in a violent quarrel when their car careened into a murky lake.

Deputy Cazi Navarro told the Sun-Sentinel:

“All of a sudden this little thing popped up like a cork.”

The officer grabbed the 3-year-old from the water at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

The baby’s mother Catherine Copeland, 33 was also pulled to safety while the father Sandro Michel, 27, drowned.

According to reports Sandro was hitting Catherine at the time of the crash and court documents reveal that he was on probation for three earlier domestic battery charges. According to court documents Sandro was also to have no personal contact with Copeland.

After the accident little baby Sariyah was taken to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood where she was listed in critical but stable condition.

Before the accident occurred police were called to the RaceTrac gas station to investigate a couple fighting. One witness said they saw the car swerving as Michel hit Copeland repeatedly as she drove away from the gas station.

Copeland’s uncle Ronald Bolds said the couple were “having a few problems.” while adding, ”She had a little argument or something with her old man, so he grabbed the steering wheel and tried to kill them both.”

Police are still investigating the case and they are not offering further information at this time.

If this story isn’t the best ever advertisement for Pampers I’m not sure what is.

If you’re dad ever asks you to do your chores while holding a sword I suggest you heed his request. Antonio Guiterrez, 43, of Ventura, CA reportedly attacked his 18-year-old son on Sunday afternoon after he refused to perform his household choirs.

Antonio apparently told his son he was being lazy and then the argument heated up at which point the father picked up a 4-foot-long sword and attacked. John, the son, attempted to use his hands to shield himself from the weapon only to receive severe lacerations across the inside of his palms.

According to police the teenager “bled profusely” from the attack but is in stable condition after being treated at a nearby hospital.

The boys father originally fled from the family’s residence only to return home several hours later at which point he was arrested by police and charged for assault with a deadly weapon.

No statement has been released by Antonio Guiterrez or his son at this time.

Father Attacked Son With Sword For Being “Lazy” is a post from: The Inquisitr

A 17-year-old boy accidentally stabbed his own father to death on Friday night while defending his uncle from an attacker.

According to Sergeant Mike Blair of the Piece County Sheriff’s Office, the teenager was at his uncle’s home with his cousin when his father arrived unexpectedly after 10pm and began hitting his uncle over the head with a crowbar.

Witnessing the fight from a window while inside the home the teenager grabbed a knife, ran outside and stabbed the attacker several times, not realizing it was his estranged father because it was dark outside.

According to Officer Blair:

“It’s dark. There’s one porch light. No streetlights” and “The teen sees his uncle being beaten and he tries to defend him. Then it escalates. The kid is fighting for his life.”

When police arrived on the scene the teenager had received a head wound and his father suffered from multiple stab wounds inflicted by his son. Both the father and son were taken to the Harborview Medical Center where 47-year-old Ralph Paputsakis died after several hours.

At this time no arrests have been made, it will be up to prosecutors to determine what if any charges are brought against the teenager.

According to police:

“We’re going to let the prosecutor review this. At this point we don’t have probable cause. It appears that the boy was trying to protect his uncle.”

Wihle he added:

“Based on the circumstances … we were comfortable that this person is not a danger to rest of society. He was standing up for the safety of his uncle – it just so happened that it ended up being his father who was killed.”

It’s an unfortunately event, thankfully the boys father was estranged and they don’t appear to have been close.

Family photos are a given. We love taking pictures of our family as they do all manner of cute, lovable, and memorable things that we want to treasure forever. Or not.

Some things are better left to the black hole of the past with no evidence that they even happened. Much like these captured moments.

6 Moments of family history no-one wants to remember is a post from: The Inquisitr

It was just $15 million yesterday, but now we’ve got even heftier reports that the unborn Brangelina baby pics could have possibly reached $22 million in the bidding war between People and OK! The numbers are probably a little off, but it is believed that the pictures will fetch more than the J-Lo baby pics that were reportedly sold at $7 million.

Rumor has it that People Editor Larry Hackett is dedicated to beating OK!, which he just might think of as undeserving. My money is on People as well, since they’ve got the most solid budget for this type of purchase.

This is actually getting pretty fun. How many more wild figures are we going to get in before someone forks over the dough? I’m shivering with anticipation!
