Indian girls, a toddler and a five-year-old gang-raped

The minor girls, aged two-and-half years and the other five, were raped in separate attacks in New Delhi yesterday,October 17, police said. According to Hindustan Times, the 5-year-old was allegedly assaulted by two men known to her family. The men, who were drunk at the time, were nabbed by people and handed over to police. No arrests have been made in connection with the other rape.

The two-and-half-year-old girl was allegedly abducted from near a ‘Ramlila’ event outside her home at Ranhola in West Delhi by two men on a motorcycle.

She was gang-raped and dumped in the area with severe injuries. The girl had stepped out of her home with her grandmother after a power cut late on Friday night, police said. She was playing while her grandmother sat nearby. The girl reportedly ran towards the main road and witnesses told police two men on a motorcycle had taken her away at about 11 pm. When the grandmother couldn’t locate the girl, she raised an alarm.

"The girl’s relatives came to the police station to get a complaint registered, following which we dispatched search teams. The girl was found two hours later behind the bushes in a jungle nearby. She was found to be bleeding," a police official said.

The five-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two men known to her family in Anand Vihar area of East Delhi. The men, reportedly inebriated at the time, dumped her near her home after the assault. "She returned home crying and narrated the episode to her parents, after which the locals hunted the accused down.

They were reportedly beaten up by the public and then handed over to police. "Both of them were drunk. We have arrested them and registered a case against them," a police official said. Officials at the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital said the injuries on the girl’s body and private parts suggested she was brutally assaulted. A medical examination confirmed the rape. The nature of injuries on the private parts suggests she was subjected to torture. Since it happened in a jungle, she even had thorns in her body," a source said. "We have launched a manhunt for the suspects. So far no one has been arrested," Pushpenda Kumar, West Delhi police chief, told AFP of the toddler's case. An officer from Anand Vihar police station comfirmed the arrest of the three men who raped the five-year-old.

"Her clothes wee partially torn with blood spots all over them. Some locals saw her and she told them she was sexually assaulted," the officer said. "Some of the locals then barged into the house and caught them before handing them over to us" the officer added.

Graphic: Tattoo-crazy man cuts off ears because he wants to look like his pet parrot

Ted Richards is so obsessed with his pet parrots Ellie, Teaka, Timneh, Jake and Bubi that he's had his face tattooed with their colourful feathers. The 56-year-old former factory worker who already has 110 tattoos, went further by removing his ears in an extreme act of mutilation made famous by artist Van Gough. Ted gave his severed ears to a mate who he believes "will appreciate them".



But according to Daily Star, he is not stopping there because he is now planning to find a surgeon prepared to turn his nose into a beak.
"I think it looks really great. I love it. It's the best thing that has happened to me.I am so happy it's unreal, I can't stop looking in the mirror. I've done it because I want to look like my parrots as much as possible. I've had my hair long for so many years my ears have been covered up. I have to admit I did used to get teased at school about my ears but that not the reason I've had it done."
Ted got his first tattoo in 1976 and has since built up a collection covering almost his entire body. He also has a peace sign branded on his left shoulder with a 750 degrees centigrade hot iron and two magnets implanted in his hands. He shares his home in Hartcliffe, Bristol with his four parrots, as well as South American green iguana Iggy, and pitbull terrier Candy.

He scours the internet looking for new procedures and says his facial transformation is a tribute to his "babies" - Ellie, a green winged macaw, and Teaka, a harlequin macaw. He is keeping tight-lipped about who carried out the six hour operation, but insists he is "happier than ever," and has even now got himself a girlfriend, Suzannah, 31. Since undergoing the operation Ted says the only issue he has is keeping his glasses in place - so he has had two small metal pins added to the side of his head.

Meet the couple who sleep with their 5 children on the same bed

Bloggers Elizabeth and Tom Boyce, from Texas, US, sleep with their 5 children on the same bed and they said their sex life was better than ever, despite their unconventional sleeping arrangement.
They have built a bed fort that links mattresses for Zach, 11, Izzy, nine, Ben, seven, Owen, three, and baby Elijah, one, with the two parents placed in the middle.

Elizabeth posted a photo of the family bed on Facebook and was suddenly inundated with questions about how it works.
And most of the questions revolved around the couple's sex life.
Elizabeth wrote back:
"I think what it boils down to is your lack of imagination."I am sure you can figure it out.
"In our house, by moving everyone into one room, we suddenly had several other rooms that were completely empty at night and we no longer had small children wandering, crying into our bed in the dark."
She explained that they came up with the idea of a family bed to cope with the chaos of looking after her children as well as husband Tom who is disabled.
She said:
"We just needed sleep. "Tom is disabled and is often sick or needs care at night. "I was up helping him, nursing a baby, putting kids back into their own beds, soothing a toddler woken by other kids... it was a mess! "When we moved everyone together, the toddler got a dark little cave to sleep in
"Our anxious, insomniac 11-year-old had a dark little cave to sleep in. "Our wild sleepers each had their own space and I was still by Tom to help him if he needed it. "Everyone has easy access in and out of their bed. "They get up to pee and get a drink and get back in without an issue.
"Even the baby waking up crying almost never wakes anyone.
"Tom snores, but well, ear plugs do the trick."
Elizabeth said it was "working wonderfully" and following requests from others, she shared a blogpost on how to build the bed fort using Ikea beds.
