TikTok influencer's husband placed sports bet just before 3-year-old son drowned in family pool: police
At the time TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser's son drowned at the family's Chandler, Arizona, home in May, her husband Brady Kiser's attention was "divided," according to a police report. The report revealed that before Brady Kiser found the couple's son Trigg, 3, unresponsive on May 12 in their pool, he had placed a $25 wager on Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum to score more than 40 points in game four of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. "It is clear Brady's attention was divided, and he was not watching at all during the critical times mentioned," according to the report. "During two interviews he did not know what [Trigg] was doing before he fell in and did not see [Trigg] struggling to swim." Kiser placed the wager at about 5:15 p.m., according to the report. Just before 6:30 p.m., the same time that the game began, Trigg began playing in the backyard. About three minutes later, he fell into the pool, where he remained for seven minutes. "This tragic incident was the result of being in the backyard unsupervised while playing around the unsecured pool and unable to swim," the report said. "It is clear from the video that he did not go into the water intentionally, rather he tripped and fell in while playing with an inflatable chair." Emilie Kiser, who has 3.1 million TikTok followers and 1.2 million Instagram followers, was out to dinner with friends at the time of the incident. Trigg's activities in the yard and drowning were caught on the home's surveillance camera system. When the police arrived, Trigg was unresponsive. The report details several first responders' encounters with the toddler at the scene, where he was given CPR in an attempt at resuscitation. The boy was taken to the hospital and died six days later. According to the report, Kiser told some investigators that Trigg was only unsupervised for three minutes, and told others that Trigg was unsupervised for five minutes. The Chandler Police Department recommended class 4 felony child abuse charges against Kiser last month, but Maricopa County prosecutors declined to press those charges. "In order to convict a person of this charge, the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury that the person failed to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk, and that failure to perceive the risk was a gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would show," they wrote. "Every case submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office is evaluated using the same standard: whether there is a 'reasonable likelihood of conviction.' After careful review of the evidence submitted by Chandler PD, it was determined this case does not meet that standard. MCAO's review of the case involved the attorneys assigned to it, along with highly experienced senior attorneys and the County Attorney herself," it continued. Emilie Kiser has filed a lawsuit against the state to block the release of investigative records and other documentation related to her son's death.

Puppy Who Faced 'Life of Abuse' Gets New Start With Beachside Owners
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A young Staffordshire terrier-cross named Roy is now enjoying a joyful new life by the coast after being saved from shocking abuse. His former owner was caught on video repeatedly striking and throwing him to the floor during what the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) described as an unprovoked attack. The disturbing footage prompted a member of the public to alert the U.K.-based charity, leading to Roy's rescue. "Thankfully he didn't sustain any long-lasting injuries despite his horrific attack, but his mental distress was clear," states a popular Facebook post about his story. Racking up 5,600 likes, the caption continues: "After many months of rehabilitation, Roy's life of abuse is a thing of the past and he now lives a happy life by the seaside with his new owners." (L-R) Roy when he arrived at the vets, he appears to be scared. A smiley photo of the canine in his new home. (L-R) Roy when he arrived at the vets, he appears to be scared. A smiley photo of the canine in his new home. RSPCA Roy was initially taken to an RSPCA hospital and later moved in July to the charity's Lancashire East branch to prepare for adoption. Staff quickly realized how deeply affected he was by his ordeal. Sue Abraham, the branch's fostering coordinator, said: "I do remember on the first day he came through the door and he was just so terrified he laid down on the door mat and didn't want to move. It was heartbreaking to see. "But a week or two later he had come out of his shell—and we were socializing him in reception and he was running around playing and enjoying treats from staff. We all loved him here and were delighted when he was adopted to a fantastic new family where he is really living the best life." The RSPCA is unable to share the original footage for legal and data protection reasons. Eight Visits Before Adoption Roy lying on the floor at the RSPCA hospital. Roy lying on the floor at the RSPCA hospital. RSPCA In November, Roy was welcomed into the home of Daniel Wilson Woodward and his husband, Jason Woodward Wilson, who run dog-walking business called Pick Up The Paws. Before making him part of the family, they made a two-hour round trip to visit him around eight times to build trust and ensure the match was right. Roy's new home comes with two canine companions—Betty, a 7-year-old Beagle, and Archie, a 15-year-old Pointer. Daniel said: "We were worried about when the time came how Betty would feel as she has always had him for close company so we thought it would be nice to bring another dog into the family. "We read about Roy and saw his cute face. We were really keen to meet him. "Obviously after what had happened in his past we wanted him to be sure of us and we wanted to make sure he would be a perfect match—and he really is." Embracing a New Life by the Sea From his very first evening, Daniel says, Roy appeared to understand he was safe. "We were all watching a film that evening and he just jumped on the [couch] and cuddled up to us—like he had a sense of relief and knew things were now going to be happy for him," Daniel recalled. "He has brought so much happiness into our lives—he is so playful and loves chasing a ball but is so fast he can't stop in time to catch it." Putting the Past Behind Him Roy now has a daily routine he clearly relishes. "He also loves his food and knows when it is nearly dinner time as he will come and sit in front of you and stare with his big eyes. Then when you make his dinner he spins in a circle with his toes tapping on the floor before his bowl goes down," said Daniel. Despite his traumatic beginnings, Roy is now surrounded by love. "We were obviously upset to hear about his past but we know he can put that firmly behind him now thanks to the work of the RSPCA and we would always advocate that people adopt from rescues rather than buying a new pet," he said.

Anna Delvey Rabbit Drama Explained After Bunnies Dumped in Park
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Notorious fraudster Anna Delvey is back in the spotlight this week after an assistant on one of her photoshoots admitted to abandoning rabbits in a New York park — the bizarre end to an unusual chain of events. Newsweek has emailed Delvey outside of regular working hours for comment. Why It Matters Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, first made headlines back in October 2017, when she was arrested for pretending to be a German heiress to deceive hotels, banks and individuals out of over $200,000. In 2019, she was found guilty of eight theft-related charges. She was released from prison in 2021 but was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstaying her visa. She was released from ICE in 2022 and is currently under house arrest. Her story was the subject of the Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna, in 2022.

BG048/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/What To Know The case of the abandoned rabbits began with a post on a local Facebook group about a bunny dumped in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, according to Terry Chao, a vegan blogger who documented the drama on her Instagram account. Chao and others saved the cotton-tailed hopper on Monday, and named it Parker. Three days later, Chao said, a second rabbit was seen in the park and also rescued. This rabbit was christened Moon. It was a mystery as to how the two long-eared lagomorphs ended up in Prospect Park. Then, the Anna Delvey photos appeared. The scammer-turned-social-media-star posted a series of images to her Instagram profile posing with two rabbits on leashes. A video of her and the tethered carrot munchers was also uploaded. Chao said she was notified on Saturday about the shoot but initially did not know that the bunnies she had saved in the park were the same animals in Delvey's photoshoot. However, she soon realized they were, and in a strange twist of fate, revealed she had been contacted by the photographer's assistant, Christian Batty, about using her own pet for the shoot. "I saw the person tagged in the insta post, oh, it was the same person who tried to scout my bunny!" Chao wrote. "That's weird, I thought. Wait, the bunny Anna is holding and trancing (a type of hold on the bunny's back that puts it into a fear state) is strikingly similar to Parker." Instagram users began accusing Delvey and her team of abandoning the rabbits, which they denied. In one reply, Delvey wrote: "I will find and sue dimwits like yourself who simply refuse to accept that the bunnies that were borrowed for our shoot are safe at home with their owners." Batty wrote in response to another commenter: "It isn't the same bunny, as that bunny is located in Yonkers. And as you said you found 4 bunnies in prospect park, we only had 2. One so happens to look like one of the ones you found in the park and now it's Anna's fault? It sounds like someone trying to find an easy solution to a problem bigger than a photoshoot with rabbits that were ethically sourced!" Batty eventually though, came clean. In a post shared by Delvey on Instagram Stories the assistant wrote: "I lied to Anna, and the rest of Anna's team about the rabbits." "When I realized the rabbits were being surrendered to me, I panicked. At 19, with no experience caring for animals, no pet-friendly housing, and no knowledge of available resources, I felt overwhelmed and made the worst possible choice. Believing mistakenly, that there were existing rabbits in that area, I released them there, thinking that was my best option. That belief was wrong, and I regret it deeply." Newsweek contacted Batty for comment via direct message on Facebook, and also on Instagram, but that account later appeared to be deactivated. Chao said on Instagram that Batty "did physically show up to help me successfully catch" a third rabbit that appears not to have been used in the final photoshoot Newsweek emailed Chao for further comment outside of regular working hours. What People Are Saying Terry Chao, on Instagram, wrote: "I hope this entire episode has helped in spreading awareness that you CANNOT DUMP YOUR PETS in the park. Owning a pet is a PRIVILEGE not a right." What Happens Next Chao shared in posts to social media that she is taking donations to help care for the bunnies, and looking for foster families for them.
