Becky Hamber, Brandy Cooney Killer Moms

A 13-year-old boy was forced to relive disturbing memories from the five years he and his brother spent inside a tightly controlled and turbulent Burlington household, where surveillance cameras watched their every move and daily life was governed by his adoptive parents’ strict rules and bizarre practices.

Among them: A “restraint system” including being zip-tied into a tent to sleep; days with no talking; and the punishment — captured on video and played for the boy in court on Thursday — of being forced to meekly pace up and down a flight of stairs.

Italy to investigate ‘sniper tourism’ during Bosnian War

More than three decades after the siege of Sarajevo, Italian prosecutors have launched an investigation into what may well be one of the darkest and least-known aspects of the Bosnian War, which ran from 1992 until 1995.

The investigation centers on so-called “hobby snipers” or “sniper tourists.” These were foreigners who allegedly paid to shoot at civilians in the city of Sarajevo, during what were called “Sarajevo safaris.” At the time, Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was besieged by Bosnian Serb forces.
