12-year-old Brooke Bennett vanished after being dropped off to meet a friend. She apparently lied to her family about where she was going. The family and police have discovered that she was, in fact, going to meet up with someone she had met on MySpace.

Surveillance camera footage from the Cumberland Farms store showed [...]

It’s bad enough that Dr. Santusht Perera removed the wrong lung from a surgical patient. He also attempted to conceal his mistake by lying to the patient about his condition, and altering the patient’s records.
