A 32-year-old day care center worker has been charged after a 4-year-old boy was found alone in a Queens park Tuesday, and police say the worker waited about five hours before reporting him missing.

Police spent the day searching for the parents of Emi, who was found in Juniper Valley Park by city parks workers at 12:45 p.m.

The parents of the boy were eventually reunited with their son Tuesday evening after the boy had been missing for more than five hours.

Police said Emi vanished during a game of hide-and-seek in the park with day care worker Oscar Jaramillo, and Jaramillo's own daughter. He worked for a day care in Queens.

Idiot cop pepper sprays and tases unresponsive stroke victim after traffic accident

The taxpayers of Fredericksburg will shell out an unknown amount of money this week in a settlement for one of the most gruesomely excessive force claims ever caught on camera. As an innocent man lay unconscious during a stroke, he was pepper sprayed, tasered in his face, and held without medical care causing him to suffer permanent damage-all thanks to untrained cops needlessly escalating violence.

In March of 2016, attorneys for the victim, David Washington, filed a suit against the city claiming excessive force was used against their client in an incident 10 months prior. The incident was a simple traffic accident.

The lawsuit requested $5 million and alleged excessive force, denial of medical care, battery and other wrongdoing by the officers, according to The Free Lance-Star.

"Police misconduct cases, they're difficult to win," Alexandria attorney Donald Rosendorf, who helped represent Washington said. "I think we were satisfied, and the client was satisfied, with the settlement."

Thieves stole wine reportedly worth more than €250,000 (£230,000) after burrowing into a private cellar from the catacombs 20 metres below Paris.

Police say more than 300 bottles of vintage wine were carried out through the underground network, which comprises more than 150 miles (250km) of tunnels running beneath the city.

The raid on the cellar of an apartment in the chic 6th arrondissement, near the Luxembourg Gardens, happened in the night some time between Monday and Tuesday.

Detectives say the thieves must have identified the cellar they wanted to access under the apartment building and then drilled into it from the catacombs, where the walls are mostly limestone. They made off with valuable grand cru wines.

"We believe they must have made visits before; the suspects didn't drill that particular wall by accident," a police spokesman told French media.

Fake Apology: Kathy Griffin not sorry for photo of decapitated Trump

Kathy Griffin is not only finished apologizing for that photo of her holding a mocked-up severed Donald Trump head covered in tomato sauce from earlier this year. She is flat-out not sorry anymore. As she embarks on her Laugh Your Head Off tour around Australia, Europe, and New Zealand, the comedian's has focused on putting some perspective on the outrage around her actions. "President Trump just pardoned Joe Arpaio, who was essentially running a concentration camp in the Arizona desert," she said in a recent profile for the Cut. "He said there are some good Nazis, and he's kicking out young adults who were brought here as kids by their parents, and I'm the one who has to continue to apologize?"

After the image went viral, Griffin was fired from her New Year's Eve hosting gig by CNN and had her tour canceled. But in a new interview with the Australian morning show Sunrise, Griffin is rescinding her previous apologies once again, and making it clear that she's ready to open her "big mouth" again and speak out against the American president. "The whole outrage was B.S." Griffin said. "I'm no longer sorry. The whole thing got so blown out of proportion and I lost everybody," she continued, citing social-media rebukes from people like Chelsea Clinton and Debra Messing. See the full segment, in which she tells one of the co-hosts they are "full of crap" for suggesting the offending photo went too far, below.

Police are investigating the death of a Bronx mother who sources say was found unconscious with rosary beads stuffed in her throat.

When police officers responded, they found EMS already on the scene trying to resuscitate the woman.

Sources say while performing CPR, emergency responders found rosary beads stuffed down her throat, and she also had bruises and scratches on her face.

A mysterious series of apparently random killings in Kansas City, mostly committed in isolated spots along walking trails, came to an end when the killer deviated from his pattern with a brazen, execution-style shooting in broad daylight on a city street, according to Jackson County prosecutors.

The fifth and final killing came shortly after noon on Aug. 13, when 22-year-old Fredrick Demond Scott allegedly followed a man from a city bus, crept up behind him on the street and shot him in the head - before turning and getting right back on a bus.

Like the other four victims Scott is either charged with killing or is suspected of killing, Steven Gibbons was a stranger but fit a specific profile: they were all white men between ages 54 and 67.

All five victims were shot. Four were shot in the head - three in the back of the head. One was shot in the back.

"They didn't see it coming," Scott said under his breath while being questioned by detectives.

Hurricane Harvey sweeps away 'cultural revolution', highlights human ability to help one another

Hurricane Harvey
After three days of Hurricane Harvey, the message emerging from Houston and the Texas coast is not one of chaos and destruction, but of collective strength, as Americans help each other survive through the worst of circumstances.

For once, cable news is not dominated by talking heads shouting at each other, but by images of volunteers, black and white, arriving in flat-bottomed boats to rescue neighbors from flooded buildings. Journalists are helping to direct emergency crews to save stranded drivers rather than encouraging enraged mobs to riot against the police.

And President Donald Trump, attacked for weeks for allegedly dividing the nation, is drawing attention to its unity.

A Hurricane Harvey survivor lambasted CNN reporter Rosa Flores as she interviewed her just after she arrived at a Houston shelter to escape the floods. The mother branded the network insensitive for putting people on live TV "during their worst times."

The mother, named Danielle, agreed to an interview with CNN correspondent Flores and the pair stood side-by-side at the Houston shelter.

When the interview went live on-air, however, Danielle gave the correspondent a piece of her mind, in response to questioning about how she was rescued.


The outburst began when Flores asked Danielle, flanked by her daughter, to talk about her experience as a mother trying to protect her kids from the storm.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said he is not going to tolerate criminals taking advantage of people in the community during such a devastating time.

NOTE: The city of Houston has announced a curfew from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. The curfew remains in effect until further notice and exempts those seeking shelter, flood relief volunteers, first responders and those going to and from work.

He said his officers arrested 14 alleged looters since Sunday.

Those arrested will face stiffer punishments under a Texas law providing heftier penalties during a crisis, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

"People displaced or harmed in this storm are not going to be easy prey," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.
