NEWS: Florida Couple Arrested After Allegedly Prostituting Young Girl For 13 Years In Exchange For Drugs
Celeste Chambers of Tallahassee, Fla. and her boyfriend, Kevin Wyatt, were both arrested last week as Gasden County fugitives, according to the Miami Herald.
Wyatt was arrested on Sunday afternoon after he was found hiding in a boathouse next to the East River in Florida, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. Prior to his arrest, he was wanted on five warrants, including sex-trafficking.
Chambers, who was initially arrested in June 2017 but was later released, was arrested again last Wednesday after the Gasden County Sheriff’s Office issued multiple warrants for her arrest. These warrants included two counts of sexual abuse, one for lewd and lascivious behavior, and another for child cruelty, reported WTXL-Channel 27.
Chamber’s arrest came after the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office led a multi-jurisdictional investigation into the Chambers in March of last year, WTXL-Channel 27 reported.
Since her arrest, she had pleaded not guilty to all the charges made against her, including sexual battery on a child under 12 by an adult, child abuse, and human trafficking by a parent, legal guardian or custodian, among others, according to the Miami Herald. Wyatt is now facing similar charges.
Chambers was slated to face trial in early January.

Breaking News: More Than 70 Foster Kids Are Missing In Kansas—And Lawmakers Just Found Out
Three sisters from their Tonganoxie foster home have been missing since August 26. In the report of The Kansas City Star told that the state politicians were equally outraged that Kansas Department of Children and Families (DCF) Secretary Phyllis Gilmore was apparently unaware about that.
The revelation was brought by KAKE. They finally pointed out at a meeting of the Child Care Task Force, a group aimed at holding DCF responsible.
State Sen. Laura Kelly said she asked the agency about missing sisters Emily, 15, Aimee, 14, and Christin Utter, 12, and they knew nothing, according to The Star.
“I am flabbergasted,” Kelly told the journalist. “I used to work in this world years and years ago and I understand that where you have teenagers, you will have runners, and they will go and they will do this kind of stuff.”
“But the fact that the person in charge of the wards of the state has no idea that these kids are missing from her custody is just astounding to me.”
38 children are missing from the program was revealed by KVC Kansas, a foster care servicer. Another company, Saint Francis Community Services, claimed 36 are unaccounted for.
“That is very disturbing. I’m actually appalled by hearing that, but it doesn’
t surprise me hearing that at all,” state Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau told KAKE.
She said that using servicers makes it harder to request accountability.
Kelly asked Tuesday about Utter sisters’ case after The Star published a article about their disappearance. Tonganoxie Police Lt. Jarrod Gill said the girls were possibly having trouble at home. However, he said there is no evidence that the sisters were being abused. The girls are supposed to have run away from the home of their adopted parent and great-aunt, Debbie Miller, in late August.
“We just want them to know that we love them, that we just want them to come home,” Miller said. “And it doesn’t matter what’s happened. We can work through whatever we need [to].”
Gill said he thought the girls were getting support from one or more persons.
In response to the backlash, DCF released a statement Wednesday that highlighted procedures on how to report a missing foster child, which can be read below,
“We want to assure the public that protocols are in place, and have been for many years, to ensure that when children run away from their foster care placement, every effort is made to locate them and return them to a safe and appropriate foster care home or facility,” DCF Secretary Gilmore said.

ALERT – Horrified Parent Writes Warning to All Parents When “Innocent” Henna Tattoo Sends Child to Hospital
Getting a henna tattoo may seem like a completely innocent and commonplace way to have fun and express yourself. For most people, there is nothing permanent about them.
However, one family had an experience with henna tattoos that may had made a permanent impact on their 7-year-old daughter, Madison Gulliver. It all started after her mother fell ill on a family vacation.
While staying at a hotel in Hurghada, Egypt, Mom Gulliver suffered from a gallbladder infection and had to go to the hospital. Her son and daughter stayed by her side without complaining.
As a reward for tending to their mother so well, their father took them to the hotel salon to get temporary, black henna tattoos. Madison’s brother, Sebastian, 9, complained that his tattoo was itchy, so they washed it off.

Madison did not have any complaints until they had arrived home in England. She began to complain that her tattoo was itchy, too, and her parents noticed that a red rash was developing on her arm.
When it started to blister, her parents became very concerned. They began doing some research prompting them to take her to the doctor.
After cream was not effective, she was rushed to the emergency room and then to the Salisbury District Hospital burn specialists. The doctors found para-phenylenediamine at high levels in Madison’s burns.
PPD is commonly added to henna to make the tattoos appear darker. Apparently, there was more than enough PPD in the henna used on Madison’s tattoo that it caused an adverse reaction.
The blisters on Madison’s arm were so thick that burn specialists actually had to cut off her blisters in order to treat the burns underneath. Madison’s dad said she was very brave through out the whole ordeal.
“She wanted to see what they were doing so we couldn’t get her to look away. She was really strong and kept saying, ‘you’ve missed one,’” he said.
A similar case occurred in Morocco in April. The morning after getting a henna tattoo on the street, Sophie Akis noticed horrible blisters all over her hands.
She had no means of visiting the hospital in Morocoo, so pharmacists there had to bandage her hands for the long trip home. Akis is now warning others about the dangers of black henna.
The FDA has been warning people for several years to be very cautious about using “black” henna, which really isn’t henna at all. While the traditional reddish-brown henna used in Africa and Asia is generally harmless, black henna uses chemicals that are banned from use in hair dye.
That chemical is PPD, the very chemical that caused Madison so much pain. It is critically important to be very wary of black or blue henna tattoos, and to make sure that the formula being used does not contain any harmful chemicals.
Poor Madison has suffered a lot because of her injuries, but she braved through it all. Her parents hope that speaking about their scary experience with black henna shall help other families avoiding the same fate!
