EastEnders actor sells home and moves into caravan after being killed off BBC soap
The actor and his wife are moving into a caravan with their four children and two dogs. EastEnders actor James Bye - who played Martin Fowler - has reportedly sold his home to live in a caravan. The star left Albert Square earlier this year during the soap's 40th birthday episode, when the Queen Vic collapsed, killing off Martin. After his dramatic exit, James, 41, who is currently working theatre, and his wife made a huge life decision. His wife Victoria told her social media followers they have sold their home and moved into caravan - with their four kids and two blind dogs, writes The Mirror. Sharing their surprising news on Instagram, Victoria said: "It's official …because we've only gone and sold our 'forever home'. And not only that. We've done it so that we can move into a field - and into a caravan… "Yes, you read that right. A tin box on wheels with barely enough room to swing a cat let alone four kids + two blind dogs. S**t. Now, you may wonder what in the hell we're doing (I know we do, both still I denial I think!)" Victoria said that living on the road had long been a dream for them both because both their parents had done it in the eighties. Revealing that James' sister was even conceived in a home on wheels, she said: "A dream we've long since had and just never had the time … or the belief that we could. "And yet somehow, when it feels like we've got more than ever on our plate, we thought. Sod it. It's now or never. This is our year for change. And so we are. "I mean, what's could go wrong?! (Er, right. Everything apparently. But let's just breeze over that bit and get back to following your dreams & all that gumph…) Because, really, it has been a bit of a dream of ours for a very long time. "And it's no surprise because both of our parents did the very same thing back in the 80's! And they survived! (just about!) In fact, James' sister was conceived in their caravan right on the foundations of the house they still call home to this day!" Despite James' parents adding to their family whilst living in a caravan, Victoria was adamant that they would not be following suit and she and James would not be adding to their family of six. Speaking about their family plans, she said: "And whilst there is a firm NO on any baby making shenanigans going on in our little love pad, the same belief & hope for something that we've built on our own is there. "It'll be an adventure. A messy, chaotic, mud filled ride - just us & our boys. And we cant wait. We might even get an alpaca. What the hell, in for a penny & all that… "So stick around for the journey you lovely lot - and please - any advice send our way." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Social Media agrees with LeBron James as he raises concern about kids burning out from early specialization: 'Too many parents are seeing dollar signs'
Image credit: Getty Images LeBron James woke up many aspiring athletes and their parents as he talked about the dangerous trend of taking up a single sport during childhood. The Los Angeles Lakers star addressed the issue during his appearance on Mind The Game podcast, along with teammate Luka Doncic. James gave his own example from his childhood and explained how his upbringing was different from that of kids today. LeBron James on kids playing a single sport Talking about the current generation and how they pursue sports from a young age, LeBron James told Steve Nash on Mind The Game podcast, 'Me and my guys, we ran track and field as well, when we were like super-duper young,' said James. 'We played football all the way through high school. We didn't just cap it at one thing and just [do] one thing all year round. I think a lot of kids, they burn the hell out,' he added. Social media reacts to LeBron James' statement James' concern was echoed loud and clear as his comment made its way to Reddit . Several users weighed in, expressing how it is indeed a serious issue among young athletes. A Reddit user reacted to James' comment, 'And it's not just kids getting burnt out, but kids aren't getting proper cross-training from playing multiple sports year round, and are only training/wearing down the muscles and ligaments used for basketball.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Another said, 'Too many parents are seeing dollar signs and push their kids to concentrate on a sport in hopes of the kid going pro and making millions and end up getting their kid hurt. ' A Reddit user also wrote, 'They've looked at who becomes champion in individual sports (like track) and found those who specialize early are not more likely to become champs than those who do various things.' Another comment read: 'Was hoping someone would bring this up about stressing the same muscles and wearing down for injury.' Giving an example, a Reddit user said, 'At this rate football is the only major sport that isn't like this and that's only because getting hit year-round would probably kill some kids and cause brain damage to the rest.' Also Read: Luka Doncic was shocked to see LeBron James arrive 10 hours before a game: 'I have never played with a guy like this' LeBron James has three children. His eldest son, Bronny James, joined him on the court as part of the Los Angeles Lakers and fulfilled his father's dream. His younger son, Bryce James, recently had his convocation ceremony.

12-Year-Old Tennessee Boy Arrested for Instagram Post Says He Was Trying To Warn Students of a School Shooting
After posting a screenshot of two people planning to "shoot up" a Nashville school, a 12-year-old DuPont Tyler Middle School student was arrested and charged with threats of mass violence. Although his charges were later dismissed, school officials opted to expel the boy without properly assessing whether the threat was valid or whether he had authored the messages himself. Directly following a school shooting at Antioch High School earlier this year, which resulted in the death of two students and injury to a third, Nashville School District officials were on high alert for other potential threats. The day after the shooting, James, a seventh grade student, was flagged by the FBI for a concerning Instagram post. According to ProPublica, the post depicted a text conversation between two individuals: One said they would "shoot up" a Nashville school if the second would attack another. "Yea," the second replied, "I got some other people for other schools." When asked about the post, James told school officials he had reposted a screenshot from a Spanish-language news site. He was subsequently arrested and charged with making threats of mass violence. Under Tennessee law, when a student is suspected of threatening mass violence, a threat assessment is required "to determine whether the threat of mass violence made by the student was a valid threat." If the director of schools determines the threat is not valid, the school is not allowed to expel the student. However, records obtained by ProPublica show that school officials failed to conduct a proper threat assessment and missed crucial steps. Melissa Nelson, a national school safety consultant who trains schools on managing threats, told ProPublica that James' assessment was "gross mismanagement of a case." Rather than seek out information to help confirm whether the threat was valid—like notifying and interviewing James' parents—or pursue options provided by the threat assessment tool to deescalate potential future violence, school officials jumped straight to expulsion after he was arrested. "Even if a child is expelled, what I always train is: Out of sight, out of mind doesn't help," she said. "Expelling a child doesn't de-escalate the situation or move them off the pathway of violence. A lot of times, it makes it worse." John Van Dreal, a former school administrator who helped the Nashville School District set up its current threat assessment process, agreed. Choosing to skip directly to expulsion is "actually about the most dangerous thing you can do for the student," Van Dreal said, "and honestly for the community." During an appeal hearing, James maintained that he was not the original author of the texts. When asked if he understood that the screenshot in question appeared to be a conversation he, himself, was having, he replied, "I just wanted to let people know, feel heroic. I didn't want more people to get hurt." When pressed during that same hearing on why the school chose to expel James without additional investigation, Assistant Principal Angela Post said that it was up to law enforcement, not the school, to investigate the threat. She also admitted that the assessment did not make a determination whether James was the original author of the text, and she couldn't recall whether school staff investigated the origin of the original threat. By her logic, James' arrest was evidence enough that the threat was valid, and therefore, expulsion was necessary. But since James' arrest, law enforcement hasn't treated him like a violent threat. After serving a night in a juvenile detention facility, James agreed to six months of pretrial diversion and court supervision. His supervision was lifted earlier than expected after he completed his pretrial diversion terms, and his case has been dismissed. However, following his appeal with the Nashville School District, officials found that the decision to immediately expel James "was not a due process violation."
