Squish toy sends teen to hospital with burns
A West Virginia family is warning other parents after a popular squishy toy exploded inside a hot car, burning their 13-year-old daughter. Doctors say the toy's silicone filling wasn't toxic, but the heated material caused painful burns when it ruptured. Burn specialists are also warning about a viral trend involving microwaving squishy toys and reminding families never to leave them in hot vehicles. Experts say if a burn occurs, cool the area with running water for about 20 minutes and avoid home remedies like mayonnaise, mustard, or egg whites.

Let the chips fall where they may’: Sharpton calls for answers in Black teen’s 'suspicious' death
The family of a Mississippi teenager whose body was found after he went missing Fourth of July weekend is now demanding answers. On Friday, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump , Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of Wells are holding a press conference to demand an investigation into the teen's death. Wells' body was reportedly found Monday in the water near the end of Horn Island in Jackson County, Mississippi. He went boating with three friends on July 4 and did not return from the island. The only way to get to and from the island is by boat. Wells' family says law enforcement said his death was an accidental drowning, but there has been no official cause of death released at this time. Rev. Sharpton opened the conference by stating there are too many unanswered questions to close the investigation into Wells' death. He says Wells, who is Black, went on a boat with three white men, who returned with Wells' phone and keys, but not Wells. Wells' father Elmore Wonsley adds that one of these friends first lied to him about having his son's keys but then gave them to him five minutes later. "What we've been told does not make sense," Rev. Sharpton said. "There's just too many questions where they should not be closing the investigation. This does not smell right." Attorney Crump also mentions cell phone video that surfaced after Wells' disappearance, showing what appeared to be a fight at Horn Island between Wells and his friends. Wells' friend alleges he wanted to stay on Horn Island to talk to a young woman. Crump questions what teenager would stay on an island without their phone. "It’s not adding up," Crump says. "It’s not adding up at all." Wells' mom Christine Wonsley teared up when she spoke at the podium. "Nolan was, sorry, is the kindest soul," Christine said. "He loved everyone...He just wanted everyone to be in peace with one another. He loved life and God gave him this big heart which always scared us." Christine adds that she warned him of racism, but that Wells always saw the best in others. Wells' parents and Crump also have questions as to why Wells' body was not found until Monday, despite him searching the island for his son on Sunday. 'We just want to know what happened and why our baby didn't come home," Christine says. Wells was a son and brother. He also played football at Ocean Springs High School and Southwest Mississippi Community College. Attorney Crump's office is leading an independent investigation into Wells' death as well as an independent autopsy that officials say may take weeks to release results. ----------------------------------------- Stay up to date with our social media: BakersfieldNow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bakersfieldnow Subscribe to BakersfieldNow on YouTube: / @bakersfieldnow For more information, visit https://bakersfieldnow.com/ Have a news tip?

Rep. Green says 'we can demand for all footage of incident' for proper investigation, prosecution
Rep. Sylvia Garcia and Rep. Green held a briefing in Houston on Friday to discuss her conversation with ICE Director David Venturella following the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston on Tuesday. Araujo was shot and killed Tuesday during an ICE traffic stop while driving his crew to a construction site. The Department of Homeland Security says Araujo rammed an unmarked ICE vehicle while officers were pursuing his white van, and that an officer opened fire in self-defense. But three other men who were inside the van, including Araujo’s brother, are now challenging that version of events. The men, who are currently being held in ICE custody, told an attorney that Araujo did not ram an ICE vehicle and was instead shot through the passenger-side window. Garcia said Araujo, a 52-year-old homebuilder, was not the person ICE was looking for. Araujo’s family says he had lived in the U.S. for more than 35 years, had no criminal record and was close to completing the process of obtaining legal status when he was killed. ----------------------------------------- Stay up to date with our social media: BakersfieldNow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bakersfieldnow BakersfieldNow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bakersfieldnow Subscribe to BakersfieldNow on YouTube: / @bakersfieldnow For more information, visit https://bakersfieldnow.com/ Have a news tip?
