A judge has ruled against a man who sued a mobile dating app after he was arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old boy. William Saponaro Jr. was arrested in 2012 after an encounter involving him, the 13-year-old boy and another man who knew Saponaro and had met the boy on the Grindr app. Saponaro, who owns a construction company in Cape May, sued Grindr for negligence and infliction of emotional distress, saying it allowed the boy to subscribe to it and present himself as being over the age of consent.

Last fall, a sixth-grader in Virginia was suspended for 364 days and charged with possession of an illicit drug, punishment for violating his school’s drug policy. His crime? Having a leaf in his backpack that looked like, but conclusively wasn’t, marijuana. According to the boy’s parents, the trouble began last September when officials at Bedford Middle School searched their 11-year-old son’s bag based on a tip from other students. Inside, they found a lighter and the offending foliage, a single crumpled leaf. Their son was soon suspended for “possession of marijuana,” a charge he also faced in juvenile court. However, when the boy’s court date finally came in November, his parents learned the leaf had tested negative for marijuana three separate times.

Taron Stead, 17, a cyclist, was recently hit by car. The mother inside of the car that struck him told him that she could not stop to help him because the blood on him was too scary for her kids. Stead had just bought a new mountain bike that morning and was hit in the early morning traffic last Friday. He was left bruised and bloody by the side of the road. According to the Huffington Post, the male driver of the silver car that hit him stopped and a woman got out. The woman informed him she couldn’t help him because they were late getting their kids to school and the blood on his face would upset her children. The woman returned to the car without even asking if he was okay and the car drove away.
