...I have four Anna's News Clippings items with anagrams for you.
Warning: The first one is rather grim, and the final anagram is sweary.
While executing a search warrant in an unspecified unrelated
investigation, authorities in Hamden, Ohio, removed 16 children from
the roughly 3.5-by-3.5-metre room where their parents had kept them
confined alongside their bodily waste since moving to the village four
years earlier. Ohio attorney general Andy Wilson described the
siblings, ages 1-18, as looking 'like almost feral animals' when
rescued from the 'pure evil' of the Siders household.
On the following day, one of the children was listed as intubated
in hospital, Wilson still couldn't 'get the smell off of me', and
Elizabeth and Gary Siders along with the latter's parents were
professing innocence of all charges.
Gary and Elizabeth Siders = Baddy & arse. Sterilize & hang!
On the other side of the world, we find something that isn't quite
mistreatment of children. 'He's probably too young to understand it's
a job', Australia's Adele Aldworth said of her six-year-old son's
three-street round as an assistant to Perth's waste-management crew.
She explains that Thomas used to 'race outside just to look at the
trucks; then, one day, one of the garbage-truck guys handed him a bin'
to push back onto the kerb. After that, he kept hanging around in
hopes of more, so the team gained official permission for the boy to
wheel back empty bins near his home on each week's bin day. Wearing
gloves, safety glasses, a hi-vis shirt with the city logo, and 'black
shoes and black socks because that's what the other workers wear', he
handles 92 bins, under parental supervision. While neighbours cheer
him on, 'you cannot talk to him because he might miss a bin'.
Thomas Aldworth = "Thraldom? What? So?"
Thomas Aldworth = Who? Trash-lad Tom.
Comments on the break-up of his marriage prompted 35-year-old Daniel
Morgan to storm out of the New Inn, in the Welsh hamlet of Cefn
Rhigos. Minutes later, threats appeared online against publican
Christopher Common, who disregarded them until a bulldozer drove over
his car, through the pub's porch, and into customers' midst.
Although Morgan's father, from whose farm the bulldozer had been
stolen, didn't arrive in time to warn the Commons, he did manage to
interrupt the younger man's journey to his next target - his estranged
wife's home - with a truck + trailer and, after those were bulldozed,
a digger. The latter ultimately beat the 'dozer cab into submission.
Locals have chipped in to repair the 25,000 euros' worth of damage
to the pub, and Judge Celia Hughes has handed Morgan a 40-month prison
sentence along with a 39-month driving ban, with credit for his recent
efforts to kick a cocaine and 6 pints/day drinking habit.

Daniel Morgan = Alarmed inn: "Go!"
When the family cat didn't return home by teatime, West Yorkshire's
Carl Crowther checked his doorbell-camera recordings: after gazing at
three-year-old rescue cat Nora for a while, an Amazon delivery driver
had scooped her up and driven off. Commenting on the video via social
media a few days later, 41-year-old Catalin Stancu said he'd 'tried to
give the cat back but I forget the place I took it' and asked for the
family's address. In the end, police sergeant Cat Ryan's team traced
his number plate and recovered Nora. A court data followed.
Despite his insistence that 'I didn't steal it; I just took it' and
claims to have not seen Nora's collar, Stancu received an eight-week
suspended jail sentence, breaking a 13-year dry spell in a string of
convictions for 'dishonesty offences'. Outside court, he complained
that people back in Romania are taunting him over the incident. Nora,
meanwhile, reportedly is now reluctant to venture outside.
