Devastated family pay tribute to Bailey Chadwick after 19yo killed in ‘hit & run' walking home from work
THE family of Bailey Chadwick have paid tribute to the "amazing" teen after he was tragically killed in a "hit and run" in North Yorkshire. The fatal collision occurred on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses, as the 19-year-old was walking home during the early hours of Sunday, cops said. Bailey had earlier been working at a pub before spending time with friends in Pateley Bridge. It's thought he was crossing the road when he was struck by a vehicle travelling west sometime between 1:44am and 3:10am. The route stayed closed while a full collision investigation took place at the scene, including forensic examinations. North Yorkshire Police are currently working to establish the vehicle involved and who was driving. Bailey's family, who are receiving specialist support from the police, paid tribute to the "amazing" teen. Their statement reads: 'We are absolutely devastated by what has happened to Bailey. We just can't believe he will never come home again. 'Bailey was such an amazing person who loved spending time with his family and friends. 'He enjoyed travelling and going on holiday with his mates. He was due to head off to Thailand this week. 'Bailey was into music and was learning to play the guitar. 'Going to horse racing with his friends was also one of his favourite things to do, but it was football that he really loved – he was a huge Sheffield Wednesday supporter. 'We will miss him more than any words can say. 'The only thing left that could add any sense of closure, would be for the person involved in the incident to hand themselves in or for information be provided resulting in them being spoken to by the police.'

Sickening family secrets that led to baby being found in Walmart bathroom
Disturbing news details have emerged in the case of a Texas man arrested after his teenage daughter gave birth in a Walmart bathroom. Kingsville Police responded to the store just before 10.30pm on July 14, after receiving a call that a maintenance worker discovered a newborn child in a bathroom trash can while taking out the garbage, KRIS 6 reported. In the aftermath, officers reviewed the store's security camera footage and discovered that a 17-year-old girl had entered the bathroom, where she remained for about 40 minutes, before leaving the store and getting into a car in the parking lot. Police were ultimately able to track down the teenager's car and performed a traffic stop, before taking the girl to the hospital for treatment. The teen's father, Jerry Lee Martinez, 45, was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child after she told investigators he was the father of her baby. She told police that Martinez had begun 'touching her inappropriately' when she was 15 years old and forced her to have sex with him several times over the last two years, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by KIII. The girl said Martinez was the father of the child and when he found out that she was pregnant, he hit her in the stomach on several occasions. She told investigators that he took her to Mexico earlier in the day to have an abortion before she delivered the stillborn in Walmart. Walmart employees tried to perform life saving measures on the infant and authorities rushed the child to the hospital right next door, where doctors pronounced her dead. Police were ultimately able to track down the teenager's car and performed a traffic stop, before taking the girl to the hospital for treatment. The teen girl is not in police custody and was taken to a 'secure location' while her father was arrested. Martinez is also facing charges of abandoning or endangering a child with criminal negligence, tampering with a witness and tampering with physical evidence 'The avenue taken last night wasn't the correct one, wasn't a safe one for the mother or the child,' Celinda Tatum, a Kingsville Police Department accident investigator told KRIS 6. 'We do advise that anytime an incident does occur at any moment, contact police or emergency personnel so that the baby and the mother can get seen medically.' Martinez is being held at the Kleberg County Jail on $600,000 bond, and prosecutors warned at his court appearance on Thursday that he could face additional charges.
