Wacky TEENs – April 19
Regina Mayer “jumps” with her cow Luna.

Wacky TEENs – April 19

TEEN charged for flushing cop’s tie

BARRIE, Ontario – A Bracebridge TEEN faces charges after police reported that he allegedly ripped a tie from an officer’s neck and flushed it down the toilet.

Police arrested the TEEN for public intoxication and he was taken to the station to sober up in a cell early the following morning. Police reported that while at the station, officers escorted the 19-year-old to a cell, however, he decided that he was not going to go into without a fight. While struggling with police, he managed to grab an officer’s tie. The TEEN then threw the tie in the toilet in the cell and flushed it away.

He has been charged with theft under $5,000 and mischief.

Plan B

LAUFEN, Germany – When Regina Mayer’s parents crushed her hopes of getting a horse, the resourceful 15-year-old resorted to a cow called Luna to make her riding dreams come true.

After hours of training, loads of treats, persuading and caresses, the results are impressive: regular long rides through the southern German countryside, and hurdling.

It all started about two years ago, shortly after Luna was born on the Mayers’ sprawling farm in the village. Mayer slowly got her cow more accustomed to human contact and riding equipment and six months later, it was time to see how Luna would respond to a rider on her back. The result was positive. Now, Luna understands commands such as “go”, “stand” and “gallop”.

“At first I thought it was kind of weird — a kid on a cow?,” the now 17-year-old said. “Had to get used to it but once I did I thought it was pretty funny.”

Wait a few more years

NORTHAM, Western Australia – A 14-year-old boy appeared in the Northam Children’s Court, charged with one count of procure a child under 13 years to commit an indecent act.

The two were in contact through the popular social network, Facebook. Police claim the boy used the social networking site’s live chat function to talk with the 11-year-old victim where he tried to persuade her for an indecent act.

It was reported that the boy requested the 11-year-old girl repeatedly to send him nude photo of herself. She sent him a photo of herself clothed in a dress, but he insisted to send the naked one.
