At Home: Electronic Rubbernecking

Passing by a big accident? Think twice before Tweeting pics to your followers. As over 20 motorists recently discovered, you might end up with quite a different status than you’d intended.

As CNews reports, ?Ontario Provincial Police laid charges of distracted and careless driving after drivers shot images of a collision scene on Highway 401.?

The collision, which involved two transport trucks, was a beacon for gawking passers-by?but the drivers weren’t content to just look. Motorists snapped photos with ?their phones and other devices,? and one driver was even ?seen using his elbows to steer his car as he videotaped with a video camera,? police
told reporters.

Twenty-two drivers were hit with distracted driving charges?and an accompanying $155 fine.

Around the World: Toddler Fight Club

Toddlers are a bit primitive in their habits, particularly where other toddlers are concerned; their tendency to throw a punch when cornered is legendary. And apparently, according to several daycare workers, also entertaining.

As CNN reports, several employees at a Delaware daycare are now facing criminal charges ?after police got hold of a ?disturbing? and ?shocking? cell phone video that, authorities say, shows two toddlers taking part in a fight the workers had organized.?

The video shows three-year-olds fighting, and the background commentary indicates that it had been staged by the adults?in the nature, unbelievably, of a toddler fight club. In fact, during the video ?[one] of the children attempted to run, but one of the teachers pushes him back into the fray,? a police spokesperson told reporters.

The accused daycare workers were arrested and are awaiting trial for ?assault, reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child and conspiracy.?
