Real-life-hero-man-saves-six-year-old-girl-from-kidnapper

328 days ago...
With all of the horrifying news this summer, from the senseless murder of Caylee Anthony to the unfathomable Leiby Kletzky abduction and murder, we’re all hugging our kids that much tighter – and we’re beginning to lose our faith in humanity during those lie-awake-at-night moments. But this chilling story about a man who saves his six-year-old neighbor from her deranged kidnapper makes me believe once again that there are good people out there (or, in this case, true heroes).
Albuquerque, New Mexico dad Antonio Diaz Chacon was doing laundry at a relative’s home down the street from his own house when he saw a girl being thrown into a van. Another neighbor yelled out, “Let the child go!” but it was too late. Instinctively, Diaz Chacon hopped into his pickup truck and chased the van for 15 minutes through a series of neighborhoods until the van crashed into a pole. The driver fled on foot while Diaz Chacon, 24, ran to the little girl and took her home, reports Newser.
“I knew I had to catch him. I had to get the girl back from him and take her home, back where she belongs,” he told Associated Press. He said he had no fear until he saw the driver emerge for the van. “When he got down I was thinking, what if he has a gun?” Diaz Chacon says he thought of his own two girls (a seven-year-old and five-month-old) and how he would want someone to do the same for him. While all this action was happening, the girl’s 12-year-old sister frantically called 911 to report her little sister missing (Diaz Chacon’s wife did the same).
The abductor, Phillip Garcia, 29, eventually returned to his wrecked van and drove away, but was later captured by police.
Police reportedly found packing tape and a tie-down strap 25 feet from the van. And inside the van they discovered a glove, Leatherman tool, black satchel and an orange strapping similar to the strap found hidden under the rock. As police Sgt. Tricia Hoffman said, “This little girl was very lucky. We can only guess what would have happened to this child.”

11 year old girl who sets things on fire with her mind

I guess some movies are true especially when we have a true life documented story about this 11 year old girl who sets things on fire with her mind. I was just thinking I would hate to make enemy's with her.
Here's the story:




"The case of an 11-year-old girl in HCM City's Tan Binh District claimed to have supernatural fire- starting powers is continuing to baffle scientists. The girl, whose family claims she has an unusual mental power that can cause objects to burst into flames, has drawn a great deal of attention from the Vietnamese media. The girl's father said he first became aware of that his child was unusual when the family home's electrical network suffered several short circuits, about a month ago. Electricians were called to fix the short circuit but could not find the cause behind the power failures. He said the girl was taken to other houses where the same phenomenon took place each time. Her mattresses, fans and other equipment have burst into flames. The hotel room where her family stayed two weeks ago during their holiday on Vung Tau beach also suffered burns from a blaze. The family then realised that objects were burnt when the girl approached them, although her body did not radiate any electric sparks, said her father. The girl has been examined by doctors at Cho Ray Hospital and the Children's Hospital No. 2 but nothing abnormal has been found. But a team of scientists from the Centre of Research and Application for Radio-active Geo- biological Energy at Hong Bang University has also carried out tests on the girl and confirmed that she is unusual. Prof. Nguyen Manh Hung, director of the university, said that the girl is capable of burning things arround her.
