After the fatal shooting of the Pomona Police Department against the 26-year-old Latino – Andres Avila, the Pomona Police Department is now facing wrongful death claim filed by the victim’s family.

The shooting incident occurred last October 16 at Avila’s own residence in 900 Block West Holt Avenue, Pomona. However, it all started on the 4th of July when a police entered and chased him for uncertain reason. Avila attempted to run for fear of his own life but he was beaten by the police. Said incident was recorded by Avila’s family through a cell phone video.

Due to that incident, Avila filed a written complaint against the police officer who trespass and beat him in his own house.

Three months later, Avila was shot by the same police officer who caused the disturbance in his house. Allegedly, Avila was asleep in his car when two police officers ordered him to step out and was then shot. Avila was pronounced dead on the spot.

Avila’s family together with their California personal injury attorney filed a wrongful death claim against the Pomona Police Department regarding two incidents executed by the same police officer.

The Pomona Police Department had not given their comments yet while referring the inquiries to the Sheriff’s Department since the latter is the one handling the investigation.

Apparently, there is a deep root to this incident and it seems that the police officer abused his authority. Aside from the wrongful death claim, he might also possibly face an administrative case. Hopefully, justice will be found and may the guilty be held responsible for his deeds.

Mother, mom, mama, whatever you want to call her – would still be a loving mother to her very child no matter what happens. Mothers as they always had in the past – fulfill their role in raising children with all the love and care they could bring.

This brief definition of a mother obviously does not apply to a woman from Dallas who glued her 2 – year old daughter’s hand on the wall and extremely beat the baby until she was unconscious.

The 22 – year old Elizabeth Escalona will now be facing charges, particularly if her daughter dies after the brutal experience that she had suffered from the hand of her own mother.

Escalona’s family and friends said that they knew even before that Escalona was a bad mother. According to them, she would always beat her children as a way of punishment. However, they have never thought that it would come to the point that Escalona would beat her child to death.

Escalona’s 2 – year old daughter is now in the hospital and is in critical condition from a head injury after Escalona’s beating. Based on doctors’ findings, bruises are all over the little girl’s body and she has a broken rib. Her head injury may eventually lead to permanent brain damage.

The child was reportedly dragged by her mother by the feet from the kitchen to the other part of their apartment. She put glue on her daughter’s hand and fastened it on the wall which causes the same to bleed and then she beat the child using her shoe and a belt. Still discontented, she also kicked the girl in the stomach and beat it once with what the cops called a “jug of milk”.

According to Escalona, the little girl had stained her pants; therefore, she just deserve punishment. The bad mother already considered this as a mortal sin.

When Escalona was done on her poor daughter, she called her mother and said that something went wrong with the kid. When the grandmother arrived, she immediately took the unconscious child to the hospital.

The little girl’s three other siblings are already in a protective custody while Joselyn is still in an unconscious state and it’s not yet determined whether she’ll survive or not from the personal injury she sustained.

It’s very hard to understand why there are such mothers who can afford to hurt their own children. Brain injury claim are just some of the charges she might be facing. Now, she’ll be the next one to be punished.

For the past three years, spinal cord injury victims from rugby game are ever increasing in numbers which has been an alarming issue for Scotland.

Rugby is a kind of football game which is named after the Rugby school at the United Kingdom where the game originated. The game is played by allowing ball handling, but no one is allowed to run with it in their hands towards the opposition’s goal. This sport often causes serious personal injuries to players.

Way back in 2009, Scottish international rugby player Thom Evans was forced to end his rugby career at a very young age due to the severe spinal cord injury he sustained from the game after colliding with Wales player – Lee Byrne.

The increasing number of school boy rugby players suffering from spinal injuries had caused the proper authorities concerned to find ways to avoid or even reduce personal injuries that can be sustained from the game.

As a resolution to the predicament, the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU), being seriously affected by the past consecutive accidents for years, had set new rules changing several traditional regulations of the game.

The new set of rules had been actually implemented last year and since then, there have been no serious spinal cord injuries recorded among school boy players.

Under the new rules, school boys under the age of sixteen are not allowed to play in under – 17 and under – 18 level matches of the game. Furthermore, teachers, coaches and referees are required to undergo a special safety training course.

Now, the Scottish rugby association is proud to present the outcome of their new set of rules which has reduced and actually stopped the growing number of spinal cord injury victims from rugby game.

If only a new law has been set earlier, then such spinal cord injury and other personal injury related to the game could have been avoided. However, it was never too late for the new generation of rugby players.
