It's as if Pink Floyd wrote a song about this week, but instead of another brick in the wall, it's another teacher arrested. At least seven educators have been taken into custody ‒ and one is still on the lam ‒ for a variety of crimes involving students.

Teachers across the country have been charged with crimes including bullying, sex with minors, selling drugs, assault and more.

Two teachers at Washington Elementary School in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana were arrested after they were accused of threatening to fail students who did not fight one of their classmates. Tracy Gallow, 50, was charged with malfeasance in office, simple battery, intimidation and interference in school operation. Ann Marie Shelvin, 44, was charged with two counts encouraging or contributing to child delinquency, one count malfeasance in office and two counts intimidation and interference in the operation of schools. She reportedly told an 11-year-old child to "go and kill yourself," police said.

A state court jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $20 million verdict to a New Jersey woman who suffered injuries from an implanted vaginal mesh device. The company is currently being sued.

On Friday, a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court jury awarded $2.5 million in compensatory damages and $17.5 million in punitive damages to Peggy Engleman, 56, after lawyers argued that not only was the TVT-Secur mesh defective, but Johnson & Johnson and its Ethicon subsidiary concealed the risks that they were aware of during the marketing of the product.

"I'm happy I could be a voice for other women," Engleman said in a statement. "It's been a nightmare, and I feel justice was truly served today."

Engleman had the TVT-Secur medical device implanted in 2007 to relieve stress urinary incontinence. However, the device failed within a month and her condition returned. Attorneys argued that Engleman began experiencing pain when the polypropylene mesh from the implant eroded inside her.

A team of Australian surgeons has performed a life-saving operation on a Bangladeshi toddler who was born with the body parts of a partially formed twin. The physicians removed a third leg and other duplicate organs before reconstructing her lower body.

Three-year-old Choity Khatun was born with a rare condition known as 'caudal twinning,' meaning that part of a twin had developed in her pelvis - leaving her with three legs and various duplicated organs.

The young child was flown to Australia by the Children First Foundation charity, to undergo a procedure to remove the extra limb at Melbourne's Monash Children's Hospital.

Dashcam video of an incident the Free Thought Project reported earlier this month shows just how far police are willing to go to extort people for jaywalking — or alleged jaywalking. It also shows how some cops react when their manhood is brought into question by those they are trying to extort. However, according to a recent lawsuit, the one abusive cop was only the tip of the iceberg for victim, Nandi Cain Jr.

As we reported previously, Nandi Cain Jr. was crossing the street when a Sacramento police officer approached him. As seen in the video, the pair exchanged some words just before the officer charged Cain and began choking and beating him. He was then arrested.

However, after he was arrested, according to a new federal lawsuit, the 24-year-old was also placed on psychiatric hold and taken to an isolation cell of a county jail, where the officer and other employees beat him repeatedly, stripped his clothes off and made obscene comments. Cain was then left in the cell, where he spent hours without food, medical attention or a chance to make a phone call, the lawsuit says.

Two young men in Germany have reportedly mocked and racially offended an Egyptian student as she lay dying on the street after their friend had run her over in a car. The offenders allegedly took her for a refugee.

The victim, an Egyptian student at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) identified only as Shaden M, 22, was enjoying a night out with friends and was standing at a tram stop in the center of the eastern German town of Cottbus on April 15. At some point she stepped out into the street, not noticing a car that was approaching. The vehicle was going well over the speed limit of 30kph.

Shaden died three days later, German media report. Police opened an investigation into death by negligence shortly after the incident.

About a week later, the shocking details were revealed by a young witness of the accident, who said that the car that ran over the student stopped nearby before two male passengers got out while the driver stayed in the vehicle.

Two Louisiana teachers, Ann Marie Shelvin and Tracy Gallow, now face criminal charges with malfeasance in office, intimidation and interference in school operations.
The 11-year-old girl was relentlessly bullied. And the culprit, police say, were her teachers.

One of them told the girl to "go kill herself" and threatened to fail other students if they didn't fight the girl, police said. And when that teacher was removed from the classroom, a second teacher allegedly kept up the abuse.

The two Louisiana teachers, Ann Marie Shelvin and Tracy Gallow, now face criminal charges.

Forced fights

St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said he learned of the accusations back in February after the girl's mother filed a complaint. The mother returned to the sheriff's office in April to say the abuse was continuing.

Deputies said Shelvin, a teacher at Washington Elementary, threatened to fail three of her students if they didn't fight the girl. She also allegedly told the bullied girl to "go and kill herself."

Lithuanian scam artist accused of single-handedly bilking Google & Facebook out of $100 million

Google and Facebook have been revealed as the victims of a Lithuanian fraudster, who allegedly used an email phishing scam to trick the US tech giants out of over $100 million.

According to an indictment released by the US Justice Department last month, 48-year-old Evaldas Rimasauskas from Vilnius began contacting the accounting departments of the two companies in 2013 using convincing fake email addresses and letterheads impersonating Quanta Computer, a large Taiwanese tech parts supplier used by both Google and Facebook, which were referred to only as Company-1 and Company-2. Using "forged invoices, contracts, and letters," Rimasauskas persuaded the companies' employees to wire millions of dollars intended for real purchases, to impostor accounts actually owned by him. He then stashed the massive sums in banks all over Eastern Europe.

It is unclear how soon the victims noticed they were missing millions of dollars or when they alerted the authorities, but according to American investigators, Rimasauskas was able to get away with the scam until 2015. Both Google and Facebook say that investigators were able to trace the money, and most of it has been returned.
