6-Year-Old Boy Covered in Bruises After Giant Octopus Grabbed His Arm and Wouldn't Let Go at a Texas Aquarium
The child's bruises could last between seven and 14 days, the San Antonio Aquarium saidNEED TO KNOW A six-year-old boy is covered in bruises after an octopus grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go The incident took place at the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas on July 14 The child's mother has spoken out about the situation on TikTokA 6-year-old boy was injured after an octopus grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go. Britney Taryn, the child's mom, spoke about the situation that took place during a July 14 visit to the San Antonio Aquarium in a TikTok video. According to Taryn, the giant Pacific octopus attached itself to her son Leo's arm while he was at a touch tank. She added that she and her child had visited the aquarium before, and even met the same sea creature in the past. The San Antonio Aquarium did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, nor did Taryn. In the social media video shared by Taryn, her son's arm can be seen covered in small, dark purple suction bruises, going from his wrist to his armpit. "My son is very level-headed when it comes to animals, so when he had his arm in there, and he starts saying, 'Mom, it's not letting me go — and way too calmly — 'I'm like, 'Oh, okay.' So I'm helping him get down from the step and trying to pull him away from the octopus, and that octopus is not letting go," she said. Taryn continued, "The octopus starts coming out of the tank, and the reason we don't have pictures or videos of this is because my friend was also freaking out." Following the incident, the San Antonio Aquarium posted a video on TikTok on July 26, highlighting the bruises the specific octopus can leave behind — and how they can last between seven to 14 days. "So there's around 200 suction cups per arm. And as they grow ... they will actually shed their suction cup," an aquarium employee said in the clip. The aquarium added that the giant Pacific octopus can lift up to 700 pounds.

In a follow-up video, Taryn said she is working to campaign for safer and more comfortable living conditions for this animal, as well as others in similar situations. The mother added that she reached out to the San Antonio Aquarium and asked them to formally document the incident, and to provide an accessible explanation of the aquarium's safety protocols for when visitors interact with animals. Taryn, claimed in the video, however, that she had not heard back from the Texas-based establishment. Read the original article on People

Trading Cards, Chaos, and Bingo at The National Sports Collectors Convention
Trade Night is where the hobby comes alive - and this year, it got a new twist. Trade Night has been a staple at The National Sports Collectors Convention for years. With experiences that touch trading, live breaks, brand activations, and giveaways, showgoers are treated to a one-of-a-kind event that captures everything unique about collecting. This year's experience added to the magic with a new segment called Mantel Bingo. What is Mantel Bingo? Mantel Bingo is an interactive collectibles game hosted live on the main stage at Trade Night. But this isn't your typical Bingo - it's infused with trading cards. A Mantel rep randomly selects a card theme - like a specific athlete, team, or category. If you own a card that fits, you check the box. First to five in a row wins. How Did Mantel Bingo Play Out? The energy was electric. Kids packed the front of the stage, screaming for a win. A Mantel rep stood at center stage, calling out card themes - everything from cards with animal prints to Johnny Manziel rookies. Some of them? Insanely tough. The crowd was scrambling through their binders and boxes to find five in a row. At one point, kids at the front started teaming up - combining their collections and agreeing to split the prizes. It brought out the best of what collecting is all about. When someone finally won, a loud 'BINGO' rang out from the stage. Winners received prizing like hobby boxes, blasters, and exclusive packs. In my opinion, it's the most fun your kids can have at The National. And while the live game only ran during Trade Night, Mantel Bingo kept going digitally, with collectors across the show floor playing along on their phones. Whether you played on stage or from the show floor, Mantel Bingo proved one thing - collecting is just more fun when you play together. If you're passionate about collecting, make sure to check out Mantel, the social network built for collectors.

Woman Spends 'Months' Getting Kids on Bedtime Schedule, but Is 'Back to Square One' After Mother-in-Law's Disastrous Visit
"She thankfully leaves tonight to go back home but the damage will be lasting," the woman writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A woman says her mother-in-law's recent visit has caused her kids' entire sleep schedule to change In a post on Reddit, she writes that her mother-in-law didn't stick to the children's schedule and, as a result, they've been staying up well past their bedtime for nearly a week Now, the woman worries the damage will be "lasting"A woman says her mother-in-law's recent visit has ruined her kids' sleep schedule — and it may take months for things to get back to normal. In a post on Reddit, the woman writes that her mother-in-law recently came over for an "out of the blue" visit, spending her week-long vacation in their living room. "MIL bragged about wanting to take care of the kids 24/7 the entire week," she writes. "That lasted about an hour until she got tired of playing. Which. Fine. They're my kids but don't promise something you can't hold your word on." The poster made her kids' bedtime schedule very clear, explaining that "6pm is dinner time, 6:30 is wind down time and 7 is bath, pajamas and book time then 8 is when they're in bed for the night." However, her mother-in-law "wasn't okay" with that timing and "both kids stayed up until 4am because she refused to quiet down." "From that day forward she refused to let the kids go to bed at their bedtime. Stayed loud during quiet hours," she writes. "It took me months to get this routine to work. And now it's back to square one," the mom adds. "And she doesn't care. She's never cared about anyone but herself." While the poster told her fiancé that she doesn't want his mom in their house anymore, the matriarch had "nowhere else to go." The mother-son duo also "got into an argument" about the situation, leading to even more tension.

"She thankfully leaves tonight to go back home but the damage will be lasting. My 5yr old won't be as hard but my almost 3 yr old (turns 3 in less than 2 days) is going to be a nightmare. She's the reason I started taking bedtime so seriously because she won't sleep. Ever," she adds. Other parents are weighing in on the situation, with one writing, "After the first night of her disrupting your kids routine, I honestly would have said to her that this visit isn't working out and she can either pay to stay in a hotel for the remainder of the week or she can go home. It's up to her but those are her choices." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
