Robert Downey Jr.'s Son Arrested for Drug Possession. Father Thinks Its Genetic.

Robert Downey Jr.'s son Indio has been arrested. The 20-year-old, who appeared in his father's 2005 film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, was taken into custody Sunday afternoon by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on felony narcotics possession charges, The Insider With Yahoo confirms. His arrest took place in West Hollywood after the car he was a passenger in was pulled over. According to the Sheriff's Department, the narcotic in question was cocaine.

Indio, who is a guitar player and singer, was released on $10,250 bail at 12:30 a.m. Monday morning.

Robert issued a statement about his son's arrest on Monday, saying, "Unfortunately there's a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it. Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we're all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he's capable of being. We're grateful to the Sheriff's department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale."

9 Year Old With Leukemia Becomes Super Hero For A Day.

Hyde woke up on Friday — his 9th birthday — and turned on the TV, his jaw dropped.

A phony breaking news segment — recorded just for him called on Jaylen to become superhero "Striker Boy" and save South Florida from the villain Sneaky Pete. It was all part of a surprise staged event to fulfill a superhero dream for Jalen, who is undergoing chemotherapy to fight leukemia.

"He was very excited. Totally geeked," said his mother, Dalia Rodriguez, who had managed to keep all the preparations secret.

Dressed in a gray costume and blue mask based on a superhero he had created, Jaylen was cheered by dozens of volunteers as he arrived at Nova Southeastern University's soccer practice field in a yellow Ferrari Italia.

He defused a fake bomb, got a helicopter ride, fought a fire, and arrested the green-faced Sneaky Pete for stealing a puppy. Jaylen then took the villain to jail and held a news conference.

The event was similar to one held in San Francisco last year for a 5-year-old cancer patient who wanted to be "Batkid" for the day, drawing worldwide attention.

 

Jaylen, who was diagnosed in January 2013 and is now in remission, was guided through the scenarios by a professional actress in the role of policewoman "Shadow" and accompanied by his 13-year-old brother, Daishawn, as sidekick "Falcon Boy."

Smiling with tight lips, Jaylen seemed a bit overwhelmed by the news cameras and all the outpouring. "Striker Boy, Striker Boy," volunteers chanted.

When asked by reporters about his day, Striker Boy proved to be the strong and silent type, saying only "I can see through the future and I can fly."

Warning Pregnant Mums: Proof That Unborn Babies Feel Mother's Stress With Pictures.

It ought to be the most tranquil of sights – the face of an unborn child in  the womb. But the tiny hand pulled up to the chin reveals that, upsettingly, this baby appears to be under stress. The remarkable image was taken as part of a study showing unborn children touch their faces more often if their mother has been anxious, helpless or under pressure.

Researchers believe they are picking up on her anxieties – and then trying to soothe them away with the power of touch. As adults, we do this by holding our head in our hands. But while we use both hands, babies of stressed-out mothers preferred the touch of just one.

Although previous studies have found babies pick up on stress in the womb, this is believed to be the first to offer  photographic evidence.

Researcher Nadja Reissland from Durham University gave 15 mothers-to-be 4D ultrasound scans four times during their pregnancy.

 

Rather than the grainy, ‘flat’ images produced by the 2D scanners usually used by the NHS, a 4D machine stitches together pictures taken from a variety of angles to create clear three-dimensional pictures.

These are then recorded on video – the fourth dimension.

The mothers-to-be were quizzed on their  levels of stress in the month leading up to each scan and the videos were analysed to see how often the unborn babies touched their faces. In total, the eight girls and seven boys did so 342 times.
