Who Is The Toddler Reunited After US Border Separation At The Heart Of A US-Venezuela Mystery?

May 15, 2025, 1:39 am

A Venezuelan infant who was split from her parents when they came across the US-Mexico border more than a year ago has finally been reunited with them in Caracas. Two-year-old Maikelys Espinoza Bernal arrived on Wednesday on a deportation flight, where she was greeted by First Lady Cilia Flores and afterward reunited with her mother and grandmother at the presidential palace with President Nicolás Maduro.

Maduro openly thanked ex-US President Donald Trump and his envoy, Richard Grenell, for their intervention in the child’s return, referring to it as “an act of justice.” The case had been widely followed at the national level in Venezuela, with high government officials appealing to the US to release the child.

Maikelys’ mother, Yorely Bernal, was deported in April to Venezuela, and her father, Maiker Espinoza, had been previously relocated to the maximum-security CECOT prison in El Salvador in March. He is among 137 Venezuelans relocated there by the Trump administration under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

Espinoza allegedly serves as a lieutenant in Venezuela’s infamous gang Tren de Aragua, as claimed by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), charged with heading grave crimes. To date, there has not been any proof shown. The charges are denigrated by Espinoza’s family as political.

DHS also charged Bernal with recruiting women to be drug smugglers and prostitutes, a charge her family vehemently denies. The parents had themselves been in detention in the US since they surrendered at the border. Their daughter had been in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement since May 2024.

Although US officials have not spoken about the conditions under which the girl returned, some observers in Venezuela surmise it could be connected with a recent tacit agreement that permitted a number of opposition leaders to travel abroad, although Caracas has not acknowledged any such deal.

Toddler Calls 911 for Doughnuts, Police Deliver Sweet Surprise

March 3, 2025, 12:17 am

A toddler from Oklahoma, USA, has won hearts online after dialing 911 to report an “emergency need for doughnuts.” The Moore Police Department shared the adorable exchange between the child, Bennett, and the dispatcher, which quickly went viral.

Toddler’s Unexpected 911 Call

Bennett first dialed 911 and spoke gibberish before hanging up. However, he soon called back and made a very specific request:

? “911, it is an emergency,” Bennett said.

? “An emergency?” the dispatcher asked.

? “Emergency doughnuts,” the child responded.

The lighthearted conversation continued, with the dispatcher jokingly asking if Bennett would share his doughnuts. The toddler then cheerfully ended the call, saying, “Bye! Have a good day. Boop!”

Police Surprise the Toddler

Instead of dismissing the call, the Moore Police Department decided to make Bennett’s wish come true. The next day, officers visited his home and delivered a box of Dunkin’ doughnuts, bringing a huge smile to his face.

They shared the moment on social media, captioning it:

? “Emergency Donuts: The Sequel! Bennett requested a doughnut emergency, and #MPD delivered! His smile and laughter said it all!”

Social Media Reactions

The heartwarming incident drew positive reactions online, with users appreciating the officers’ kind gesture:

“I think we can all admit we’ve needed emergency doughnuts at some point!”
“As a former police call handler, this would have been our monthly morale boost.”
“This is adorable! A break from all the negative news.”

Parents and Police Respond

According to the Moore Police Department, Bennett used an old cellphone that still allows emergency calls but has no other functions. Officers reassured that while 911 should be used for real emergencies, they were happy to make an exception for this innocent and adorable request.

This story is a perfect reminder that sometimes, even in serious jobs, a little laughter and kindness can go a long way!

Mom Films Reel As Toddler Nearly Steps Onto Busy Road, Internet Slams

December 9, 2024, 5:33 pm

In the world of social media, some people are doing very dangerous things just to make viral content. Many are able to entertain their audience, but others put themselves at risk, as well as the lives of others, for short-term internet fame. A recent viral video has caused a firestorm of criticism after a mother was caught dancing near a busy road while oblivious to her toddler wandering perilously close to traffic.

Reel Takes a Dangerous Turn

Online surfacing footage reveals a lady dancing to the popular tune of Brother Louie by Modern Talking. As she dances into her performance, her toddler has wandered towards a busy highway. The mother, alerted to the danger by her other son, who had a sharp eye for it, she stopped in mid-dance to pull the toddler to safety. The video, with a caption that says, “Truly, children are a gift of nature that plays an important role in shaping events,” has gained views over two lakh views afterward.

Watch:

मां फोन में रील बना रही थी छोटी बच्ची बस सड़क की ओर पहुंचने वाली ही थी इतने में ही एक और बेटा आता है और इशारा करते हुए कहता है कि मां उस तरफ छोटी बहन जा रही है।

सच में बच्चे कुदरत का वह उपहार है जो घटनाओं को डालने में अहम योगदान निभाते हैं। pic.twitter.com/tQ9hzDEJ0K

Social Media Rejection

Public backslash seems to flood with responses calling out to criticize this action of the mother on various social networking sites. As the words of one X user, “OMG it was so shocking, I am happy that nothing serious happened.

Many were shocked at the apparent lack of care for her child’s safety. “This is absolutely irresponsible! No video is worth risking your child’s life!” wrote one user. Another expressed dismay, stating, “It’s shocking to see people prioritise social media fame over the safety of their own family.”

Others questioned the mother’s priorities, with a commenter noting, “She couldn’t even spare a moment to ensure her child’s safety. Is the reel really worth it?”

They highlighted the broader implications with regards to such stunts: “It’s not about safety for the child himself or his message to others,” explained another user. This behaviour should not be given further encouragement.

The video went around, though it lacked identifying geographical location, and so created a cautionary lesson among people about the pitfalls in doing things for social validation which endanger children’s basic safety of its own.

A video featuring a child consuming what appears to be Michelob beer has sparked a fierce debate about parental responsibility on social media.

Outrage on Social Media

The video has prompted even stronger reactions on X, with users condemning the parent involved. “What an awful parent,” one user remarked, while another added, “Clueless parents seem to be all over in today’s society.”

Criticism was also directed at the individual who recorded the incident instead of intervening.

The viral video continues to ignite discussions online, with many users advocating for increased accountability from both parents and onlookers in situations affecting child safety.

Locked in the Loo: Women Lock Crying Toddler in Chinese Flight’s Toilet to ‘Educate’ Her

August 30, 2024, 5:48 am

The recent incident on a domestic flight in China, involving the separation and confinement of a crying toddler in an airplane toilet, has sparked significant controversy and debate.

Incident Details

On August 24, a flight from Guiyang to Shanghai operated by Juneyao Airlines became the centre of a heated discussion when two women, who are not related to the child, were accused of child abuse. They locked a crying toddler in the plane’s lavatory, allegedly as a form of punishment to stop the child from crying. The video of the incident, posted by one of the women on Douyin (China’s version of TikTok), shows the child wailing and trying to get out, while the women made remarks suggesting the child could be released if she stopped crying.

Airline and Reactions

Juneyao Airlines confirmed the incident and stated that the child had been taken to the toilet with her grandmother’s consent as part of an effort to “educate” the child. The airline claimed that the child’s mother, who was not on the flight, later expressed understanding of the women’s actions. However, the video went viral, leading to widespread backlash.

Social Media and Public Response

The video and subsequent public reaction have sparked outrage, with many criticizing the actions of the women and the grandmother. Social media users have called for legal action and intervention from social services, emphasizing that children have the right to express themselves and should not be subjected to such treatment. The incident has highlighted ongoing debates in China about parenting styles and the treatment of children deemed “unruly” or “spoilt.”

Previous Incident

This is not the first instance of disruptive behaviour related to children on flights in China. Earlier this month, a flight from Chongqing was delayed after a child’s dispute over seat comfort led to an extended delay. In 2015, passengers were removed from a flight after a scuffle over seat recline issues.

The controversy around this latest incident underscores the complex and often contentious discussions surrounding child behaviour and parental authority in public spaces.
