A two-year-old toddler from Arizona died after the bouncy castle he was playing in was suddenly lifted airborne and carried away by a gust of wind.

Bodhi Naaf, the young son of Phoenix firefighter Karl Naaf, died from his injuries after being rushed to a local hospital.

Several children were playing in the inflatable castle when “a strong gust of wind sent it airborne into the neighbouring lot,” said the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, calling the incident a “tragic accident.” A second child was hurt but the injuries were non-life-threatening.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the grieving family,” police added, noting that an investigation into the event is ongoing.

Bodhi’s mother Cristy is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child, who is due to be born on May 31.

“Amidst their sorrow, they face the daunting task of preparing for the arrival of their newborn
“As a community, we want to offer our support and alleviate the financial burden that accompanies such tragedies. Your donations will help Karl and Cristy focus on grieving their beloved Bodhi while also preparing for the new chapter in their lives.”
A week before the fatal incident in Phoenix, a similar situation occurred in California. An inflatable trampoline was lifted high in the air by a dust devil, a whirlwind that can cause a strong updraft, and landed in a neighbour’s yard. Thankfully, no one was using the equipment at the time, but the owner said the event left her family shaken.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission called it “very scary incident” in an X post and reminded the public that bouncy castles should be staked and anchored to the ground and should never be used in windy conditions.

“Wind speed should be no more than 15 to 25 miles per hour when using a bounce house,” the agency said. The converts to wind speeds between 24 and 40 km/h.

Parents Found Guilty Of Murder After Refusing To Take Dying Son To Hospital

The deceased, do you know 15-year-old Alexandru Radita, weighed less than 40 pounds the day he died. The 15-year-old boy, Alexandru Radita, passed away in 2013 due to the effects of intentionally untreated diabetes. At the time of his death, witnesses said that Radita weighed less than 40 pounds. “Mr. and Mrs. Radita intended to and did isolate Alex from anyone who could intervene or monitor his insulin treatment aside from themselves,” said Canada Justice Karen Horner, Alex died as a result of bacterial sepsis brought on by extreme starvation. His physical condition at death was not a sudden or quick occurrence but rather took place over months and possibly, probably years.” He was one of eight children his parents Emil Radita, 60, and Rodica Radita, 54, had together. The pair — whose attorney argued lacked the means, not the desire to care for their now-deceased child — will now serve a life sentence in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years, for actively withholdin...

**Cop Rescues 92-Year-Old Man Turned Away at Bank Because His ID Had Expired**

Image
A Los Angeles County policeman went far beyond the call of duty while responding to a report of an  elderly  man having a fit inside a bank. Montebello Police Department Officer Robert Josett was answering a public disturbance call when he was faced with a 92-year-old man who was upset because tellers wouldn’t give him his money. The senior citizen’s California identification card had expired, and Bank of America’s policy requires that a valid government-issued ID be shown when making withdrawals. So Josett comforted the white-haired gentleman by gently suggesting they take a ride over to the Department of Motor Vehicles and get him a brand new card. And so they did. With a little encouragement from the cop, DMV workers quickly renewed the man’s identification. And Josett brought him back to the bank, where he was able to get his hands on his money, just before closing time. The department posted a photo of the officer leading the man, who leaned on a cane, into t...
