Family sues after man, 21, drowns at the Jersey Shore with lifeguards on duty
The family of a 21-year-old man who drowned at a New Jersey beach while lifeguards were on duty has sued the local borough and its beach patrol. Joseph Volm died on August 6, 2023, when he was dragged into the ocean by a rip current, according to a lawsuit filed in Cape May County Superior Court. His family alleges that lifeguards in Wildwood Crest failed to warn beachgoers about the hazardous conditions, which may have saved their son from his fate, the suit, obtained by NJ Advance Media, says. Volm visited the beach on August 5, 2023, when he entered the water and was grasped by the rip current, the lawsuit states. Riptides' varying speeds and strengths can make them particularly dangerous for even experienced swimmers. After being washed ashore, the youngster was found unresponsive, according to NJ Advance Media. Lifeguards did perform CPR on Volm and he was later moved off the beach by a rescue rig and taken to Cape Regional Medical Center. There, he was pronounced dead. Volm's family alleges that the beach patrols at Wildwood Crest were not adequately staffed and did not put in place adequate measures to prevent the tragedy. Red flags, to warn about hazardous conditions, were allegedly not in place in the area where the youngster had entered the water, per the suit. Born in Marlton, Volm wrestled and played lacrosse for Paul IV High School, according to an online obituary. In his free time, he enjoyed bowling, playing video games and hanging out with his cousins. Volm also loved animals, especially his dogs Rocky and Sophie, and was known to family members as 'the dog whisperer.' NJ Advance Media also reported that, around a week before his death, Volm had left a drug treatment center. However, his family told investigators that he had not been showing signs of drug abuse at the time he drowned. The lawsuit asks a jury to award compensatory and punitive damages to Volm's family. Wildwood Crest Mayor Don Cabrera told NJ Advance Media he was aware of attempts to sue the borough, but directed questions elsewhere. The Independent

Outraged toy firm suing over TikTok videos depicting children's dolls as sex-mad alcoholics hooked on drugs
A TOY firm is suing over TikTok videos depicting its children's dolls as sex-mad alcoholics hooked on drugs. The clips show Sylvanian Families creatures drinking to cope with a failing marriage and robbing a shop. 5 5 Others include a nun hoping for sex with an ex and a graduate downing booze at the thought of having to work. In other videos a drink-driving hedgehog kills a rabbit, a cat drinks bleach after her husband cheats and a drug -addict moggie relapses. A video showing a cat using her new partner's caravan to run over guests at her ex-husband's wedding has more than 20million views. The scenes are from videos posted on Sylvanian Drama, which has 2.5million followers on TikTok. But Japan's Epoch Company, which has made the popular children's animal dolls since 1985, claims the skits have caused 'irreparable injury' to the brand's reputation. Last month the firm filed a copyright infringement case in the US against Thea von Engelbrechten, 23, from Kildare, Ireland. She submitted a counter notice insisting her videos, which are also available on Instagram and YouTube, are a parody. Sylvanians are marketed as 'an adorable range of distinctive animal characters with charming and beautiful homes and accessories'. Sylvanian Drama's popularity has earned ad partnerships with big brands including Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Netflix and Hilton. No new videos have been posted since December when a rebel group of gun-toting women are seen training to shoot misogynistic male animals. Mum left in stitches after finding her daughter play with a toy that looks VERY rude A pre-trial conference to try to thrash out a settlement is scheduled for next week. 5 5
