MUM PROTESTS OUTRAGEOUS MEME

One mother lives in Texas with her three spirited children, including a son with a disability. Another mother lives in California with her adorable multiracial family.

Having a very different life, both women have something heartbreaking in common. They both know what it’s like for internet trolls to target their children in the cruellest of ways.

And now these mums are fighting back, and forcing people to face up to their prejudice in the process.

AliceAnn Meyer, of San Antonio, is in the midst of an impassioned crusade against a viral meme that mocks the appearance of her four-year-old son, Jameson, who was born with Pfeiffer syndrome (a rare genetic disorder that stopped his head and face from developing normally).

The meme was created from a photograph someone took from Ms Meyer’s blog Jameson’s Journey, which was intended as a way to share updates on Jameson and his condition with family and friends.

LEOPARD INVADES SCHOOL, MAULS SIX

Six people were mauled by a leopard after it invaded a school in India.

Incredible footage shows the big cat strolling along the corridor and attacking a man near a swimming pool.

Terrified wildlife expert Sanjay Gubbi used a pair of binoculars to try to fend off the rogue animal who savaged his right arm.

A forestry worker and a TV cameraman were also among those injured during the 10-hour rescue mission at Vibgyor International School in Bangalore, India.

The eight-year-old male leopard was eventually tranquillised and released yesterday.

Conservation scientist Mr Gubbi and forest department employee Benny Maurius were injured when they tried to corner the animal and sedate him.

MAN BATTERED FOR MOLESTING 6 YEAR OLD

Man allegedly caught molesting a young girl at a birthday party in Rio de Janeiro was battered by more than twenty guests and neighbours in the street outside.

According to the description of the video, which was posted to LiveLeak, the mother of the five-year-old birthday girl went looking for her other daughter, who is six, because she couldn’t find her at the party.

Mail.co.uk reports that she found her daughter being abused by a man in one of the house’s rooms. The man had his trousers down, the video showed.

Guests at the party and other people outside the house in the Complexo de Alemão, a notoriously crime-ridden collection of favelas in the north of the city, descended on the man and battered him severely.

WORLD'S FATTEST MAN DIES AT 38

World’s fattest man died of a Christmas Day heart attack after a week-long energy drink binge, it has been claimed.

Andres Moreno, who once weighed 445 kilograms, is said to have gorged on can after can of energy drink in the final days of his life.

Doctors believe that a “problem with his wife” triggered some sort of “emotional stress” that led to Mr Moreno dramatically abandoning a post-weight loss surgery diet.

He was found dead at his home in Ciudad Obregón, Mexico, several days later aged just 38.

“He drank more than six energy drinks a day according to his family and we believe it could be a lot more than six,” Dr Jorge Ojeda, who treated Mr Moreno said.

LESBIAN DJ TURNS TO BIBLE IN JAIL

‘ASIA’S sexiest DJ’ Angie Vu Ha has turned to the Bible to ward off lesbian temptations as she fights extradition in a New York jail.

Busted at John F Kennedy airport last year while attempting to flee the US with her nine-year-old daughter, after nearly three months in detention, the 32-year-old credits the power of prayer with helping her stay celibate.

“A lot of lesbians around here and a few blondes are hitting on me. But I prefer to read my Bible for now,” the former Playboy Playmate told the New York Daily News.

“I realized how tough I am. I thought I couldn’t last for two days and it’s now three months. I came to God and got saved so I spent time to pray and read the Bible, too.”

10 INDIAN SOLDIERS TRAPPED IN GLACIER

An avalanche has trapped 10 Indian army soldiers in the snow on the Siachen Glacier in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.

Army and air force teams are trying to rescue the soldiers in the northern part of the glacier, army spokesman Colonel S.D. Goswami said. Rescue dogs have also been pressed into service.

Avalanches and landslides are common in Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both entirely.

The rival nations also dispute the undemarcated border through the Siachen Glacier at an altitude of nearly 5800 meters.

Thousands of Indian and Pakistani troops are stationed on the freezing Himalayan terrain, where more troops have died from the gruelling conditions than from hostile fire.

CHINESE RAISE HOPE ON MONKEY BUSINESS

A village in rural Henan province, where land is too hard and rough to grow crops, residents have for centuries relied on training performing monkeys to make money. And as the Year of the Monkey approaches, they are hoping for bumper business.

A small temple devoted to the deity of the Monkey King, a popular figure from Chinese folklore and literature, sits on the outskirts of Baowan.

Zhang Zhijiu, a 60-year-old former monkey busker said, "Since this will be the Year of the Monkey, and we will be putting on (monkey performance) competitions for tourists, we all need to visit this temple and burn some incense.”

Only for the 2,500 villagers of Baowan, monkey breeding and raising is illegal across China without a proper license.

Monkeys wearing tight metal collars, are taught to ride bicycles and walk on stilts. One trainer was throwing daggers at a monkey balanced on a wooden board on a rolling cylinder. The animal was deftly catching the daggers and putting them between its teeth.
