Life 'hell' for dad of 7-year-old driver

Published: Aug. 5, 2009 at 1:05 PM



MONTREAL, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- The Quebec man who posted a video on the Internet of his 7-year-old son driving the family car says life has become "hell" as a result.

In a telephone interview with Quebec TV news station LCN, Sylvain Fortier said the tape was shot two years ago in a remote area north of Montreal. The tape also shows the boy's mother and younger sister in the backseat. No one was wearing seatbelts, the Globe and Mail reported.

"I just wish people would stop making it out to be worse than it was. They're treating me as if I killed someone, it just doesn't make any sense," Fortier told LCN. "My wife is upset, my kids are crying, this is hell."

In the video, the father can be heard praising his son and bragging that he was driving at 35 mph, but in the interview with LCN, Fortier said the boy never got going faster than 25 mph.

The Quebec provincial police are investigating and haven't indicated if any charges will be filed.

I had a similar problem last night.
I found the problem with my internet security.
I had to reset it and it fixed my problem.
In his case it could be something similar.

Gun found on obese inmate after 5 searches

George Vera, 25, is charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility.


A felony suspect who tipped the scale at more than 500 pounds carried an unloaded 9mm pistol into city and county jails beneath flabs of his skin even though law enforcement officers repeatedly searched him, authorities said Thursday.

George Vera, 25, was released on $10,000 bail after being charged with possessing or selling unlabeled recordings and possession of a firearm in a correctional facility. Harris County District Attorney's spokeswoman Donna Hawkins said both charges are third-degree felonies, punishable by two to 10 years in prison upon conviction.

Police arrested Vera on Sunday after he was spotted selling apparently bootlegged compact discs out of the back of a sport utility vehicle parked at Hollister and Pitner, Hawkins said.

Police spokesman Victor Senties said Vera was searched three times by police personnel: once at the scene, again, more thoroughly, when he arrived at the city jail, and a final time before he was transferred to the Harris County Jail.

Vera was subjected to an additional search at the county lockup.

City and county law enforcement spokespeople said inmates at both the city and county jails are not required to pass through a metal detector or undergo wand searches.

Vera's possession of the firearm came to light Monday when he approached a county guard during a shower break and admitted having smuggled the weapon, authorities said.

The incident came just days after the county lockup at 1200 Baker passed a surprise inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. The review found that deficiencies cited after an April inspection — malfunctioning intercoms, broken toilets and crowded holding cells — had been successfully addressed.

Jacko Immortalized!! Well, Not quite!


Busted: Statue's a Dead Ringer for Jacko
Jackson-like bust gets attention at Field Museum

John Weinstein, The Field Museum

The Pharaoh of Pop doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as King of Pop, but visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum could swear that’s Jacko’s face on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust.

The spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Jacko --- complete with disfigured nose.

Unfortunately the bust, which was carved sometime between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C., is of a woman and MJ likely never had the chance to see the statuette.

“I have no idea whether Jackson ever visited the museum,” a Field spokesperson said to the Sun-Times' Michael Sneed. “But the similarity between the limestone statue of a woman – which is about 3,000 years old --- and Jackson is astounding.”

Interestingly, Jackson cast himself as an interloper in ancient Egypt in his video for “Remember the Time,” so maybe he sensed some Egyptian roots.
