The Torture Mother: Gertrude Baniszewski and the Torture Killing of Sylvia Likens
The Sylvia Likens case isn't a new one, nor is it unknown to those that follow these types of crimes. This one is, in particular, an interesting case, as it goes to show just how much influence an adult can have over a child or children, who otherwise, are well rounded kids from decent homes.

The craziest revenge in the world
1. British businessman blocks bank entrance after being rejected for loan In September 2010 a British businessman, protesting against the frequent denial of loans to his and a friend's small business, blocked the entrance to his bank in broad daylight with bricks. This brick wall has not been removed until now, which has affected the normal work of the bank. The businessman who carried out the act of revenge has been named as Cameron Hope, 59. He said in an interview that many owners of small local companies, including himself, had trouble getting loans from banks. Hope came up with the idea in a fit of anger after repeated unsuccessful attempts to negotiate with the bank. He also posted shocking slogans such as "We will let you get a loan" and "If you don't pay, go in and rob" on the sealed entrance of the bank.

True Crime: Lisa Harnum
“Lisa’s loss to our family is devastating and the pain endless. Whether directly or indirectly, every one of us will be affected by some kind of violence, physical or mental, during our lifetime. Yet we tend to believe it will get better, ignore it, or turn away instead of facing it head on. The only way for it to diminish, for in truth it will never be eradicated, is for each and every one of us to take a stand and say STOP! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. STOP THE VIOLENCE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE! When we witness it, we must report it, or, if the situation safely allows, stop it. A few seconds can mean the difference between life and death. If we know someone who is violent, either in our families or an acquaintance or friend, we must intervene and get that person help before it causes the loss of a life. Please do not turn away for one day you, or a family member or friend, may need the Foundation. You always think it could not happen to you. That is what we thought and now we are without our beautiful Angel.”-A message from Lisa’s family
