A ‘depraved’ pediatric nurse and foster carer who filmed himself sexually molesting two babies, has been jailed for 80 years. Michael William Lutts, 52, began the sickening abuse of a two-month-old boy from the first day he came under his care. Graphic court documents told how Lutts had groped the boy’s genitals while masturbating, videoing the whole event. He also abused an 11 month-old girl in his care. U.S. District Judge John Houston said the horrific crimes were ‘worse than a mass murderer shooting 20 people’ and the pedophile had victimized ‘the most fragile’ people in society as he sentenced him to 80 years in jail.

Girl hopes to receive cards from around the world

SCHENECTADY, New York —A 5-year-old New York girl who lost her family in a fire that was intentionally set has one wish this holiday season: Christmas cards from around the world. In 2013, Safyre Terry’s father and three younger siblings died in a fire caused by arson. Safyre was found in the debris next to her father, who used his body to shield her from the flames. Safyre suffered severe burns, and in the months following the fatal blaze she lost her right hand and left foot. Dodler took to Facebook to post a photo of Safyre standing next to the tree in the hopes of getting enough cards to fill the display.

Please send cards to:
