Nursing home staff accused of taking nude photos of patients

New friends tortured and killed a disabled woman
Jennifer Daugherty's mom and stepdad didn't press for details when she mentioned she had made some new friends. The 30-year-old had the mental abilities of an adolescent but wasn't the kind to get in trouble, and she was even thinking about getting her own place soon.
Police found her body Thursday stuffed into a garbage can in a school parking lot; they say she had been forced to consume detergent and urine - and to write a fake suicide note - before she was fatally stabbed by attackers who also shaved her head and painted her face with nail polish. Six suspects have been charged, including her new "friends."
"She was exploited, and her kindness and her handicap made her very vulnerable," Daugherty's sister, Joy Burkholder, said. "She trusted everybody; she believed everyone was good, and no one would hurt her."

Warehouse worker lost hid job for excessive farting
A warehouse worker's job has gone with the wind - after he was sacked for excessive farting.Daniel Cambridge, 27, was dismissed from Waterstones' warehouse after 35 complaints to management about him breaking wind.
Daniel insists his flatulence problem is a common side-effect of the antidepressant Citaloprama, which he has been taking for the past three weeks.
He has even highlighted that fact in the manufacturer's leaflet that comes with the prescription drug.
Daniel said yesterday: "I'm really annoyed. I can't believe I've been dismissed for passing wind. I know I'm not going to get my job back and I really liked it.
"I could understand them getting rid of me for fighting or something, but for passing wind is ridiculous.
"To me it's like having a disability and you wouldn't get rid of somebody with one arm or leg."
