All babies need a lullaby sometimes. 🥹 Trending Stories 📰 Image courtesy of YouTube - Inside Edition WOW [Brave girl silences school board meeting]( Imagine your child telling you they don't want to go to school anymore. As a parent, you might think they're just being lazy or easily distracted. But, sometimes, there's something much deeper behind their reluctance. Harassment and bullying are serious issues plaguing schools across the U.S., affecting 1 in 5 school-aged children in various ways. The impact of this unkind behavior cannot be underestimated, especially on the young souls at the receiving end. Delanie Marcotte knows this all too well. Todd, Delanie’s dad, was prepared to stand up for his daughter during a Timberlane School Board Meeting. He decided to address the growing problem of bullying in her school, ready to take action alongside his brave fifth-grade daughter. When the moment came, though, Delanie took the floor instead and delivered an emotional speech of her own that left a profound impact on everyone present. She recounted the terrible experiences she had endured—threats of violence, name-calling, and physical abuse. Holding back tears, she asked the board, "What are you going to do to protect me and my classmates against bullying?" Her impassioned line of questioning was met with a roar of support. As Delanie finished her speech, the hall erupted with applause from parents, teachers, and board members. Todd, her father, was proud to support his daughter as she took the spotlight. Delanie's courage and determination, combined with her father's preparedness, inspired many. She hopes her story will lead to meaningful school reforms to combat harassment. Her powerful message reminds us that it's essential for communities to come together and stand against bullying, as these young children bear the real-world consequences of such actions.

Little did they know, their journey to Barcelona would involve a heroic act of saving lives from a perilous situation. The couple, who had postponed their wedding party and honeymoon for two years due to the pandemic, were planning to enjoy an afternoon walking tour when they stumbled upon a burning building. The scene was chaotic, with people yelling and pointing toward the balcony of the burning building. "I saw a flame coming out of the doorway, next to the door that these women had come out of," Smith recalled*. "So, I said 'Oh my God there's a fire.'"* The distraught women outside explained the situation. Without a second thought, Squillante rushed into the building, driven by instinct and a desire to help. That’s when he became a hero. Inside the smoke-filled building, the couple discovered 15 to 20 babies. All of them ranging from newborns to 3 years old, asleep in their cribs. "I just noticed that there were a bunch of babies sleeping in cots," Squillante shared. Swiftly, they placed the infants into a rolling crib and, with the help of others, began the process of evacuating them from the building. "Dave would hand me a baby, I would hand it to someone else," Smith described the rescue operation. Despite the language barrier, the couple and the other rescuers were united by a "universal language" - the instinct to save as many lives as possible. "It was just … in the moment everyone just wanted to help," Smith said. "Even though we didn’t speak the same language, we knew everyone was there to help these babies." Their efforts were successful, and all the children were safely brought out of the building, which was believed to have caught fire due to an electrical issue. Fire crews and emergency personnel eventually arrived to handle the situation, and the couple resumed their sightseeing tour as if nothing had happened. "It doesn’t feel real at all," Squillante admitted. "Every time I tell [the story], I’m like, ‘Did that really happen?’ It felt like a movie scene. But we were happy to be in the right place at the right time." Their heroic act turned their honeymoon into a memorable experience that went viral and was subsequently shared by several news outlets. Undoubtedly, it will remain unforgettable.
