A three year old boy that was adopted from Russia is now dead. Laura and Alan Shatto from Texas were the adoptive parents to Max. When they autopsy was done they had found more then 30 bruises on this little boy. Also the autopsy showed the cause of death was accidental. They said the boy had small bowel mesentery artery because of blunt trauma to the abdomen. The parents said max had a history of "banging his head on the bathtub, throwing himself down, holding his breath and clawing himself" . The jury declined to indict the parents.

"Rape" on shirts

There were shirts that said " Keep Calm and Rape On" on Amazon. on Saturday people on twitter were very angry about this and were tweeting angry things. The company that makes them Solid Gold Bomb was informed about all this anger and how that slogan was  promoting rape and violence. They removed and they also removed another one that said "Keep Calm and Hit Her".They say all their slogans are made by computers they don't necessarily create them. They also apologized for this. People on Twitter were saying things like the statistics on how many people get raped and when will companies take responsibly for what  they make and promote to the world that is bad influentially. The shirts never got printed they get printed as they are order. They should look over what the computer is making more carefully so things like this don't happen.
