It may look like a storybook wedding, but there’s more to this story than first meets the eye…

As you can see in this shocking social experiment filmed in New York City’s Times Square, Americans aren’t afraid to show their true colors when they see a child bride barely out of middle school. However, even though we don’t hear about this often here in the states, UNICEF reports that 15 million children will be married each year before their 18th birthdays.

[Bridal Musings]
[Bridal Musings]
In the following heartwrenching PSA, UNICEF, together with Bridal Musings, hopes to capture your attention with a powerful wedding video that can only be described as “sadly ever after”. At first, everything about this wedding is picturesque, but when you take a closer look, you’ll notice the bride is not gleaming like she should be on her wedding day.

[Bridal Musings]
[Bridal Musings]
Lilly is only 11 years old and she would much rather play with her teddy bear and coloring book than marry John, a man more than three times her age. Their story proves that most marriages don’t have happy endings.

[Bridal
[Bridal Musings]
“A girl who is married as a child is more likely to be out of school, experience domestic violence and become infected with HIV/AIDS.” Bridal Musings wrote. “She is more likely to have children when she herself is still a child, and is far more likely to die due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

Of all the things you can find in your Easter basket, she NEVER saw this coming!

Easter Sunday is a special time for families to gather together and celebrate their beliefs, but when you’re a little kid, there is no denying that the most exciting thing is going on an Easter egg hunt and getting a visit from the most famous rabbit of all time.

Kids wait all year round for the Easter bunny to leave them special treats of chocolate, candy, and toys, and it can be just as exciting as unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning. But just like in this hilarious compilation of parents pranking their little ones, the Mom and Dad from this next video just couldn’t resist the opportunity to pull a fast one on their little girl.

While the “evil” parents stand nearby recording their daughter opening her findings from the Easter bunny, their little girl becomes more and more annoyed that she isn’t getting what she expected.

What happens next is just priceless…after all, what parent doesn’t like to have a little fun with their kids?!

We’ve seen plenty of videos of humans training animals to do some pretty crazy things, but never anything like this.

With all the controversy regarding mistreatment of animals, when we stumbled upon this video of a walrus working out with a personal trainer, we knew it must have involved difficult training.

While very entertaining to watch, the video below shows a walrus doing leg lifts and even sit-ups. A crowd cheers on in amazement because they cannot believe their eyes and neither can we!

Working out like a human is not instinctive for animals, and while very funny to watch, it makes us sad to see an animal being subject to such ridiculous things.

Watch this walrus working out below:

Woman Tracked Down And Fell In Love With Her Anonymous Sperm Donor

For many couples, having a baby usually comes after at least going on the first date, but this unique couple had a very unusual way of getting to ‘happily ever after’…

When Aminah Hart and Scott Andersen, from Victoria, Australia, first met, it was about a year after their daughter Leila was born. In 2012, Aminah gave birth to her daughter after conceiving her through IVF with an anonymous sperm donor. The decision to have a baby through IVF came after the loss of Aminah’s first two children, Marlon and Louis, who had died as infants from a genetic disorder called X-linked myotubular myopathy.

While still trying to heal from the loss of her children, Aminah still wanted to be a mom, and chose Scott’s profile mainly because he described himself as happy and healthy, two things she desperately wanted for her own children.

Yet as soon as Leila was born, Aminah wanted her daughter to have her father in her life, as she had grown up without a father herself. Through some searching, she managed to track Scott down, and sent him a photo of Leila through the IVF register.

Scott agreed to meet his biological daughter, and was stunned at her resemblance. “It was surreal,” Andersen told The Telegraph. “I was looking at this little girl — she looks like my other kids and like me. Blonde hair, blue eyes. It was overwhelming at the start. It wasn’t really my daughter, but it was.”

“Neither of us expected it to happen,” Scott said. “I fell in love with Leila before I fell in love with Aminah! It was all odd at the start. But Leila’s beautiful. We arranged to meet once a month. Aminah and I became quite friendly and Leila started calling me daddy and coming to me all the time.”

Eventually, Aminah and Scott’s relationship turned romantic and Scott proposed on the day that would have been her late son Louis’ birthday. ‘He went out to get milk with Leila and came back with an engagement ring, which was a real surprise because usually I spent the anniversaries of their death and birthdays having a quiet day,’ Aminah said.

Twelve months later, Scott and Aminah finally got married in front of their closest friends and families. ‘I did set out to have a family the conventional way and if I didn’t have them I wouldn’t have Leila or Scott. I would have never been looking for a sperm donor or thought to go through IVF to have a baby on my own.’

Now here’s something that we guaranteed will put a big smile on your face!

When you’re a little kid, there is often no one cooler than dear-old-Dad. As you can see in this precious video of one man and his baby, Dad’s are always coming up with the best ways to make us smile, but the proud papa in this next video might just take the cake.

In the clip, we see a cute baby boy and his mom standing outside watching the passing trains. At just about two years old, it doesn’t get much more exciting than this…that is until the little guy realized there was a very familiar face waving out the window from the train’s drivers seat.

Norfolk Southern Engineer Nuttle surprises his son while on route to Binghamton, NY via the Southern Tier Line. The YouTube video’s description let us know that the sweet baby has seen trains pass by plenty of times in his young life, but this is the first time he understands and realizes it’s his daddy driving.

“He’s shaking with delight!” they wrote and we can’t stop smiling from his adorable reaction!

Shocking Social Experiment Shows Hundreds Ignore A Homeless Boy Digging Through Trash For Food

Cops might not always have the best reputation- since they’re the ones responsible for daily annoyances like speeding tickets and parking tickets. But despite the inconveniences they cause, they really are just trying to make the world a better, safer place for everyone.

In order to show the kinds of things you have to be prepared to see and do as a cop, the New Zealand police released a social experiment they filmed to see if anyone would stop and help a small homeless boy rummaging through a trash can for food, and posed the question: “Do you care enough to be a cop?”

“We have filmed a series of real-life social experiment scenarios exploring issues our officers deal with daily – involving the safety of the young and the vulnerable people in our communities,” said Karen Jones, head of the police department’s public affairs team. “We wanted to see how many people would step up to help.”

The ‘hungry boy’, who was thin, pale, and covered in dirt, was played by an actor, but all the reactions to the situation were completely genuine. For 35 minutes, the police filmed about 500 walked by and completely ignored the homeless boy.

Finally, at the end of the video, a group of three school girls walked over to him to see if he was alright. “Are you OK?” the girls asked. “Do you want any food? Do you want any money?”

Apparently, a baby born with a luscious head of hair doesn’t happen every day. 

Normally, a baby will be bald or have very little hair when they first come out of their mother’s womb, but this cutie is breaking all the rules. This newborn is named Isabelle, and at two weeks old she has more hair than most toddlers. 

Mom, Mackenzie Kaplan captured this photo of Isabelle and posted it to her Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Since then, the baby has inspired many conversations and memes starring her hair.

“It turned out was my cousin saw that picture on Facebook and he just thought her hair looked so funny for a baby — that it looked like a news anchor or something, and so he posted it on Reddit,” Kaplan, a 34-year-old web developer, told ABC News.

But, Kaplan and his wife are glad that the photo is proving to be a source of joy for others.

“We’re just kind of proud that she’s getting all this attention,” Kaplan said.

Now, two and a half months later, Isabelle’s hair has only grown fuller and appears to be perfectly coiffed.

A kindergarten teacher at Presbyterian Day School  in Clarksdale, Mississippi captured an adorable photo of two of her tiny students holding hands during nap time. 

The school teacher posted the photo to Facebook on Tuesday, mainly to share the touching moment with their followers, but shortly after it went up, the adorable image took off on social media. 

The little girls are named Lucy Harris Jackson and Samiyah Moore, and they’re both 6-years old. Olivia Ellis, the girl’s school teacher, told Today.com that when the two girls met they became best friends almost immediately. 

The photo on Facebook was captioned with this bible verse: 

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7”

The post already has thousands of likes and it is touching the hearts of many strangers on the internet. Some commenters are saying, “I love that children do not love by skin color, but rather from their heart”, “Powerful! This really touched my heart! The world can learn a lesson from these two angels!”, and “This is the perfect example of how we should love one another”.

Students Design Backpack To Bring Comfort To Children With Autism

Did you know that many children who have autism find comfort in wearing weighted vests that provide a sense of security to them?

A group of six college students from the University of Minnesota took this concept and applied it to a backpack that is specifically designed to help children with autismIt also started back in September when the group was asked to come up with an idea for a startup in their “Entrepreneurship in Action” class. After brainstorming, the “Nesel Pack” was created.  

Team member Will Radke, 21, grew up in a foster home, and after living with many children with disabilities, it helped shaped his interest in creating a product to help them. Soon, the rest of the team was onboard.

Being that autistic children often have sensitivities to light, sound and touch, this backpack was created to give them much-needed comfort.

The Nesel Pack includes security straps on the backpack that are meant to feel like a hug and mimic a weighted vest.

The backpack has hooks, which allow students to attach different sensory tools, such as items to chew on, or tools designed to help reduce fidgeting.

 The creators also added a slot in the front of the knapsack that can be personalized with a family photo, a favorite stuffed animal or a name tag for identification.

Radke and the other creators of the backpack launched a Kickstarter campaign on March 19, 2016, and have already raised over $15,000. The feedback from parents of children with autism has been great, but the price isn’t so ideal. At $115 per knapsack, the team hopes to get their costs down and plan on working with a different manufacturer in the future. 

Dr. Paul Wang, head of medical research at advocacy organization Autism Speaks, told ABC, “In order to know how beneficial their product is, they’d need to test it and provide data.”

“We’re hoping to make a real difference in the lives of those with autism, as well as other disorders where something sensory friendly would be helpful,” says Martha Pietruszewski, one of the Nesel Pack’s founders says.

Seven months ago, one family’s world was turned upside down when their precious pit bull was stolen from them. 

Thankfully, the white and tan pit bull was later found as a stray and picked up by the Collier County Domestic Animal Services (CCDAS) in Naples, Florida. 

Unaware that the dog had been stolen, the CCDAS renamed her Chloe and posted a photo of her their Facebook page, seeing if anyone wanted to adopt her. 

It was then that her family recognized her as their “Mary Jane,” their beloved pit bull who they have been forced to live without for the past 7 months!

The family immediately contacted CCDAS and told them that Chloe is actually their Mary Jane, and since then, they have been reunited with their precious pup.

Their beautiful reunion was filmed and posted it to Facebook. 

Both sweet and slobbery, Mary Jane’s precious reunion has been viewed well over 1 million times. 

We are so happy this family is back together!

Have you ever experienced complete shock after hearing something, where time sort of just freezes and you need to take a few moments to process everything before formulating a sensical response?

Well, Sean Sullivan just captured his dad having one of those rare moments we can all relate to on camera and it couldn’t be any sweeter! Sean and his wife Jenn recently found out they were pregnant and decided to surprise their dad with the good news in a very special way on his birthday.

In the video below, Dad starts unwrapping his gift, and even though he’s probably not thrilled about receiving a Build-A-Bear from his kids, he does a pretty good job of convincing his family he’s happy with the present.

That’s when things get interesting and the couple tells him to listen closely to the message that plays when you press the bear’s paw. What happens next is guaranteed to put such a big smile on your face!

Dad is in shock for what feels like forever before he breaks down in tears and the camera shuts down to give the grandpa-to-be a tender and private moment with his loved ones.

Congratulations to this very happy family!

Hero Dad Makes Beeping Easter Eggs For His Blind Daughter To Hunt

Unfortunately, many holiday traditions and activities were not made with kids with disabilities in mind, which forces parents to think of creative solutions so that their children don’t have to miss out on anything because of their differences.

When doctors told David Hyche that his then 4-month-old daughter, Rachel, had lost her vision after being born prematurely, he thought she’d never have a normal, independent life. But as she got older, Rachel insisted on doing everything herself, and David quickly realized that nothing would hold his daughter back.

When Rachel was a year old, David was helping his local church plan an Easter egg hunt and knew his daughter would not let someone lead her around and hand her eggs, so he decided to come up with a way to let her hunt for eggs on her own.

“I was researching online how she could do an Easter egg hunt and have fun with it and I found that people were already making beeping eggs,” David said. “I called a man in Los Angeles and he told me how he did it and then I came up with a cheaper way to do it.”

Since the start of the project, David, who is a special agent for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), has received help from the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators to fund the making of more beeping Easter eggs, as well as send them out to anyone who requests them for a hunt for free.

“A lot of schools for the blind use the eggs year-round to teach kids how to locate things because it teaches them to use a logical pattern to search,” David said. “It’s teaching these kids independence. It’s not just an Easter egg hunt like it is for other people.”

Watch the entire video below to see more about how David came up with this genius solution.

Dad ‘Marries’ 1-Year-Old Daughter With Days To Live Since He Promised He’d Give His Daughter A ‘Dream Wedding’

For many dads, giving their daughters a dream wedding, and getting to walk them down the aisle is the final thing they get to do for their ‘little’ girls. 31-year-old Andy Barnard always looked forward to helping his daughter plan her wedding when she was older and promised to give her the wedding of her dreams.

However, that dream came to a halt when his 16-month-old daughter Poppy-Mai stopped eating and drinking, and became constipated. At first, doctors prescribed the baby some laxatives, but when she only got worse, mom Sammi Barnard took her to the emergency room where doctors discovered a cancerous mass in her stomach as well as a rare and fatal brain tumor.

Sammi and Andy had hoped Poppy-Mai would be able to fight the cancer, but once the brain tumor was discovered, doctors explained she only had two days to live. Andy, who had been serving with his squadron in America, was immediately sent home to England to spend as much time with his daughter as possible.

Sammi and Andy decided to take Poppy-Mai home to try and enjoy their time, and the next morning, Andy’s colleagues had planned for a wedding ceremony to take place so that Andy wouldn’t have to break his promise of giving his daughter a dream wedding.

“I couldn’t stop crying. Being our only daughter, we’d often talk about one day watching her get married,” Sammi said after escorting her baby down the aisle to ‘marry’ her hero dad.

“From the moment we found out Poppy-Mai was a girl I’ve said she’d have the wedding of her dreams one day,” Andy said.“I never ever thought it would be like this. Our hearts are broken forever, but I wanted to keep my promise to my princess. It wasn’t how I imagined, but she got her wedding day.”

Rescued Baby Bear Sisters Get Their First Bubble Bath

Like any other small children, baby bears can make a pretty big mess. So when sister Moon Bears Misty and Rain needed some cleaning up after a day full of playing and rolling around in the dirt, their caretakers thought they could use a bubble bath to clean up.

Like many other bears at Animal Asia’s Vietnam Bear Sanctuary, Misty and Rain lost their mom after poachers killed her for the wildlife trade. Without their mother, they would never have been able to survive the wild, so the bear sanctuary took them in to give them a safe home.

“Without a mother, they haven’t learned many of the basic skills that they’d need for survival,” said Steve Jackson, head of international communications at Animals Asia. “That, coupled with no safe place in Vietnam to release them, means Animals Asia makes a lifetime commitment to them.”

As part of their work raising the bears, the staff makes sure the bears are always occupied and are always experiencing new things.

While the bubble bath helps clean the two babies up after a long day playing in the mud and grass, the sanctuary also used this bubbly play-time to fulfill their sense of curiosity since they’ve never had a bubble bath before.

It’s hard being a pug. Your legs are stumpy and your world is tall. All you ever want is for somebody to drop some crumbs from the dinner table and let you lick the spoon, but they never do.

They appear to be an optical illusion at first, but in fact, they were built with all the necessities “stuck” to the ceiling.

Workers attach a bowl to the dining room table in the nearly-completed “Die Welt Steht Kopf” House in Germany. The German name of this attraction translates to “the world is upside down.”

Everybody’s favorite overpriced latte chain is making news again, and this time it has us cheering.

You may remember that time a few months ago when the news went crazy about the Starbucks Christmas cup design. You may also recall the less dramatic side of news when a Starbucks barista got some attention for doing this to a homeless man.

So, in true Starbucks fashion, a month can’t go by without the chain making headlines. This week, the topic of discussion has to do with feeding the underprivileged. The massive coffee chain announced their plans to donate 100% of their leftover food to those in need through an AWESOME partnership with various nonprofit organizations.

In a press release the company stated, “Today, Starbucks is announcing FoodShare – a program to donate ready-to-eat meals to food banks from its 7,600 company-operated stores in the U.S. Initially, this will be accomplished through an existing collaboration with Food Donation Connection and a new partnership with Feeding America.”

“When we thought about our vast store footprint across the U.S. and the impact we could make, it put a fire under us to figure out how to donate this food instead of throwing it away,” said Jane Maly, brand manager, Starbucks Food team. Maly said the team is developing safe, effective ways to transport the food without it perishing.

News like this is so exciting because when a massive company takes initiative, smaller ones are forced to follow. Soon, we will live in a world where food waste is going down and full bellies are going up.

If you found this story as inspiring as we have, please SHARE and let your friends know you support positive change!
