A popular parenting figure recently disclosed that his two-year-old daughter tragically drowned in their home’s swimming pool. The incident occurred when the young girl wandered into the backyard alone at their residence, valued at $835,000.

Jamal Morton, who is popularly known by his online personas J’Amore or Mr. Jay, shared the heart-wrenching news that Rose, his daughter, died in their Hoschton, Georgia, home, outside Atlanta. He explained that she mistakenly believed she could swim without assistance.

This social media personality, recognized for his humorous parenting advice, expressed his grief online, stating, ‘I lost my daughter. She felt grown-up and ventured to swim on her own. She left the house and ended up in the pool, where she drowned.’

In a poignant message, he added, ‘I hope heaven exists, as the thought of you alone is unbearable. So, God, if you’re real, please take care of my baby. Rest in peace, my dear angel. Forever in my heart, Rose, daddy loves you.’

Details surrounding the exact time of Rose’s death remain uncertain. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office seeking further information.

The content creator, who uses his unfenced pool as a backdrop for his videos, asked for donations to help with funeral costs and the family’s pending relocation expenses.

‘We have to move away because we can’t live in that house anymore, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to work anytime soon. Anything helps,’ he wrote.

Morton posted videos of little Rose taking some of her first steps in April 2025, as she teetered near the edge of the pool while trying to walk towards her father’s arms. 

The father-of-six told his millions of fans that he is taking a break from social media while he tries to cope with this devastating loss.

‘Losing a child is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy,’ he wrote on Facebook late Monday night. ‘I hate to make this post but yall won’t be seeing me for a while. I have to take a break.’

Despite the announcement, videos continue to be posted to his social media pages.

His management team said they are currently monitoring the accounts and that Morton is ‘not online, posting content, responding to messages, or actively managing his pages.’

‘Management is keeping his platforms running while he and his family take time to grieve the heartbreaking loss of their baby girl,’ his team said.

‘This is an incredibly difficult time, and we ask for your understanding, prayers, and respect for their privacy as they navigate this unimaginable loss.’

Morton, 33, launched his TikTok page in 2022. He has gained viral fame for posting comedy content about parenting and his family life, including skits about kids trying to sneak out of the house or wanting tattoos.

He has since amassed more than 1.1 million followers on the platform, as well as a large following on Instagram and Facebook. 

His children, including Rose, regularly appear in his videos. 

Morton declined to comment to the Daily Mail on the tragedy.

He is one of several influencers who have lost a child to tragic pool drowning.

Emilie Kiser’s three-year-old son, Trigg, died on May 18, 2025, six days after he was found unresponsive in the family’s backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona.

Kiser’s husband Brady had been looking after both Trigg and the couple’s newborn son Teddy at the time while the TikTokker was out with friends.

Brady initially told police that he lost sight of the toddler for three to five minutes. However, police said video evidence showed that the boy was left unsupervised for over nine minutes ‘and in the water for about seven of those minutes.’

Following a two-month investigation, Brady was not charged in relation to the death of his son, despite the Chandler Police Department recommending a felony child abuse charge.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office released a statement on July 25, writing in a statement that there was ‘no likelihood of conviction’ against him.

Olympic skier Bode Miller and his mommy influencer wife, Morgan, lost their daughter Emeline in June 2018 after she wandered, unnoticed, into a neighbor’s backyard and drowned in their pool.

Morgan, who was sat chatting with her friend, thought the 19-month-old had been playing indoors. By the time she registered that everything was just too quiet, it was too late.

The influencer plunged into the pool and pulled Emeline out.

The little girl had a faint pulse and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but her brain had been deprived of oxygen too long. Emeline was pronounced dead the next day.

It is unclear if charges have been brought against Morton or his wife, Jessica. 

Under Georgia law, prosecutors can pursue criminal charges against parents if it is determined the negligence lead to a child’s death.

Past child drowning cases in Georgia have resulted in guardians being charged with felony murder, cruelty to children and involuntary manslaughter.  

(NewsNation) – A coalition of motorists in California has initiated legal action against several major fuel companies, claiming they have relied on artificial intelligence to artificially inflate gas prices.

The federal lawsuit, presented in Sacramento, targets an array of industry giants including BP, Circle K, 7-Eleven, Walmart, Marathon Petroleum, and Albertsons. These companies allegedly utilized an AI-driven software from Kalibrate—a co-defendant in the case.

As outlined in the lawsuit, this software gathers competitive pricing information from nearby stations and suggests price settings.

Lawsuit alleges tool let companies’ prices move higher together

The complaint further contends that the shared use of this technology allowed these companies to collectively raise prices. In regions where the tool is prevalent, gas rates reportedly surged by up to 30 cents per gallon. Collectively, the defendants oversee more than 1,700 fuel outlets throughout California.

The complaint argues that relying on the same algorithm violates California’s Cartwright Act, the state’s main antitrust law.

“While families struggle to afford the commute to work, defendants have conspired to put an end to competition, joining an AI-powered trust to ensure that no matter where a ⁠driver turns, the price for gasoline is artificially high,” the complaint said.

Suit claims prices pushed to ‘astronomical’ levels

According to the complaint, every penny added to the price at the pump costs California drivers roughly $134 million a year statewide.

The suit said that’s helped push prices to “astronomical” levels, with some areas seeing gas top $7 a gallon.

California already has the highest average gas prices in the country.

The lawsuit could become one of the first major tests of “smart pricing” as more industries lean on AI tools to set prices.

In a meeting on Wednesday that took a heated turn, President Trump and Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana engaged in a vocal dispute during a lunch gathering, focusing on the controversial subject of the United States’ military engagement with Iran. This revelation comes from a lawmaker present during the exchange.

Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, speaking to reporters in a tone tinged with irony, labeled the altercation as “very pleasant” before diving into the details of the clash between Trump and Cassidy.

Marshall, who transitioned from a career as an OB/GYN into politics, likened the meeting to a hospital boardroom filled with doctors in heated debate, noting, “Voices were raised. … I think the vote yesterday on the War Powers Act, the president’s very disappointed.” Despite the tension, he expressed confidence that a mutual understanding would eventually surface.

The Republican from Kansas further explained that the administration felt let down by their fellow Republicans, viewing the recent vote as a detriment to their diplomatic efforts, describing it as having “chopped their legs out from under them.”

Marshall also pointed out that Congress’s objections to U.S. actions in Iran were perceived as potentially damaging to the administration’s negotiation strategies, casting doubt on their ability to effectively manage international relations during this fraught period.

Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff was part of the gathering on Capitol Hill.

In a tragic case from upstate New York, a three-year-old girl passed away in her family’s dilapidated home, her death linked to the severe anemia caused by a heavy lice infestation, a court has heard.

On February 19, 2025, Joycelynn Dylewski was found barely breathing in an apartment located in Corinth, roughly an hour’s drive north of Albany.

The young child was hurriedly taken to a hospital, where she ultimately succumbed. A medical examiner later determined her death was a homicide, highlighting evidence of severe ongoing neglect.

In light of the investigation’s findings, her parents, Matthew and Samantha Dylewski, admitted to criminally negligent homicide pertaining to the death of their daughter. This month, they received the maximum sentence of up to four years in prison.

The infestation was so severe that Joycelynn developed anemia, a condition that compromised her heart and other vital organs, as reported by the Times Union.

She also had clonidine, a blood pressure medication, in her system, the medical examiner found. 

At the time of Joycelynn’s death, Samantha, 33, suggested that it was Joycelynn and her siblings’ fault that she died. 

The mother told investigators that the little girl ‘fought her too much when she tried to apply treatment’ to her lice-infected scalp, seemingly placing blame on her dead daughter. 

She also told police that clonidine pills were left out by her son and that is how Joycelynn ingested them, per the report. 

But, text messages between Samantha and her husband showed that they had a conversation about the drug, Saratoga County First Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Buckley said in court. 

‘Her husband tells her she can give it to Joycelynn. Shortly after Joycelynn’s death, there’s an internet search on the cellphone to search for how long it would stay in the system,’ Buckley said, according to the outlet. 

Samantha also claimed that her daughter had a weak heart, but according to Buckley, Joycelynn’s heart was normal. 

The walls were also covered in grime, garbage was scattered all over the place and the carpets were stained and matted. 

Disturbing photos shared by Phoenix Property Maintenance, the cleaning company that was tasked with cleaning the place up after Joycelynn’s death, showed the full extent of the messy apartment. 

One image showed expired food items and wrappers strewn across a bedroom. 

Another showed garbage bags and crumbs surrounding a teal couch, along with what appeared to be children’s toys.

Other insects, including a dead cockroach, were found on the little girl’s body. Her teeth were also ‘rotten and black,’ an investigator said, Saratoga County Judge James R Davis said when he imposed Samantha’s sentence in early June. 

Both she and her husband were sentenced to up to four years in state prison over the death of their daughter. They were also issued a full restraining from their four surviving children, whom they cannot talk to or see until 2038. 

Other than the severe lice infestation living inside the squalid home, there were also flies, rotting food, and a kitchen sink that was clogged with muck. 

During Samantha’s sentencing hearing, Davis said the couple’s presentence report was ‘the most horrific he has ever read,’ Times Union reported. 

Davis told Samantha as she sobbed: ‘Your daughter suffered over a long period of time. 

‘Even the other children could see that she suffered because of your neglect. It’s a gift to have a child.’ You had several children, and all of them suffered at your hands.’  

Her defense attorney, Matthew Maiello, did not speak during her sentencing, but Samantha did address the court. 

She told the court that she loved her children and she ‘doesn’t know how it got this far.’

‘As their mother, it’s my duty to protect them from harm, and I failed. I also failed my other children. Many things have happened things that I should have know to do and actions I should have taken. 

‘Since that day, I can’t find the words to express all my emotions I feel, but I don’t want sympathy. I do not want forgiveness. I don’t deserve any of that. The only thing I’ll ever want is my baby girl,’ Samantha said.

During his sentencing hearing on Monday, Matthew told the court that he wishes it was him that was dead, not Joycelynn. 

‘I totally wish that it didn’t happen. I wish it would be that I died instead of my daughter. I still think that to this day. I constantly think about it. 

‘Nothing is ever going to change. I still want to die so I can be with her.’ 

Following their sentencing, New York State Senator James Tedisco and Assemblyman Matt Simpson proposed a new legislation, known as Joycelynn’s Law. 

If passed, it would see the maximum sentence for criminally negligent homicide increased to 20 years. 

In a tragic incident that unfolded in west Harris County, Texas, a lawsuit was filed on Tuesday against Tesla. This action blames the car manufacturer for its role in an accident where one of their vehicles crashed into a home, resulting in the death of a 76-year-old woman.

The legal complaint was initiated by the daughter and son-in-law of the deceased, Martha Avila. They have named Tesla and the driver of the car as defendants in this grave case.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office has identified the driver as a 44-year-old man. As of late Tuesday, efforts to contact him proved unsuccessful as he did not respond to text messages and there was no answer at his Fort Bend County residence.

The driver reportedly informed investigators that the car was operating in autopilot mode at the time of the crash on Friday, a detail that could play a pivotal role in the proceedings.

As the investigation continues, the sheriff’s office stated on Tuesday that there has been no evidence discovered so far indicating any “mechanical malfunction” in the vehicle involved.

But in the lawsuit, attorneys write that “the Vehicle … was defective in design and unreasonably dangerous,” claiming the car may have accelerated by itself.

“We’re still in a fact-finding mode, but mainly we’re alleging a product defect and a failure to warn on Tesla’s part,” attorney Chris Adkins said.

Tesla has so far ignored all requests for comment from Houston ABC affiliate KTRK.

But Monday, the company’s vice president of AI, wrote on X that “the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal …and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.”

“Tesla’s statement, in my opinion, is a little bit fishy given that they indicated the accelerator was pushed at 100 percent all the way through the collision until the vehicle stopped and beyond,” Adkins said. “If that were the case, he would have had his foot on the accelerator all the way through the crash until the vehicle came to a stop. If that’s the case, he should have a shattered leg.”

The lawsuit demands Tesla preserve its black box data, autopilot system data and camera footage.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also investigating the crash.

Christian Leon’s inspiration to don the NYPD uniform stemmed from an extraordinary encounter in 2021. The harrowing event occurred when an off-duty detective, whom he would later aspire to emulate, came to his rescue from a burning car, marking a pivotal moment that influenced his career path.

Just this past Wednesday, the 24-year-old Leon celebrated his graduation from the police academy. This milestone came less than five years after the life-altering evening on November 18, 2021, when Detective James Fares sprang into action as smoke started to billow from Leon’s vehicle on the Grand Central Parkway.

During the chaos, Leon noticed Fares’ identity as a detective by the distinctive shield he carried. However, it wasn’t until a Gun & Shield Day ceremony, organized by the department, that he finally learned the name of the man who had intervened in his hour of need.

Reflecting on that fateful encounter, Leon expressed deep gratitude, telling The Post, “I’m almost speechless to a certain point, because I only get to say thank you, because… he just saved my life, and it’s been like four years later. So I’m really happy he’s here with me, and I’m gonna pay it back by being of help and service to others and the community.”

At the time of the crash, Leon, a native of Corona, Queens, was pursuing pre-med studies. Yet Detective Fares’ selflessness prompted him to reconsider his future ambitions. Inspired by the heroism he witnessed, Leon chose to serve his community by following in the footsteps of the detective who changed his life.

“I remember I had finals during that time for one of my bio classes. I was heading back home, and it was during rush hour, my car was stopped — no cars were moving — and all of a sudden I see a car behind me rear-ends me,” he said.

“Detective Fares…acted immediately,” the rookie cop recalled. “He took me out of the vehicle, he said everything was going to be fine. He called an ambulance, and I’m here because of him — because I needed someone to help me at the time, and now I want to help people when they need help.”

Leon was not seriously hurt in the crash — only shaken because his airbag exploded — and was checked out at the hospital. 

“I hardly remember that,” he said of the impact. “But all I remember is this detective, his shield, and just stuck with me and my memory forever.”

Fares, who is assigned to the Queens Auto Crime unit, said he was driving home from work when he spotted Leon’s car veering off to the right, with smoke coming from it. 

“I just pulled over as quick as I could, and ran over to make sure he was OK, and pulled him out of the car,” Fares said. “It was just instinct training [that] came together, and I’m happy that he’s here with us today, and everything’s good.”

Seeing Leon again – a day before he officially joined New York’s Finest – was a special moment for Fares.

“So I feel like the good deed is coming full circle, and it’s a very great feeling, and I’m happy that I can share this with Christian and everyone else,” said Fares, 42. 

The 9-year department veteran, who grew up in Bayside and has since moved to Mineola, said he had the chance to share advice with Leon – who hopes to become a detective some day, too.

“I basically said, ‘Work hard,’” Fares said. “I said, ‘Work really hard, and do whatever you can to help people out, and I guarantee you, [at the] end of the road, you’ll get your shield.”

Leon’s journey to the NYPD, inspired by Fares, earned the attention of Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch as she addressed the sea of blue Wednesday. 

“It meant the world to Christian and his family that a complete stranger would take that kind of risk to save him, and the two would remain strangers until yesterday,” the top cop told the sea of blue. “The two were reunited yesterday on Gun and Shield Day, and Christian was finally able to thank Detective Fares in person, and to tell the detective about the career choice that he had inspired.” 

The newest officers to hit the streets also included Casey Kloepfer, 29, whose father, Officer Ronald Kloepfer – of ESU Truck 7 – was killed 25 years ago while attempting to rescue those trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Casey will also be taking his dad’s shield number – 22403 – which he describes as an “honor.”

The younger Kloepfer, who was only 4 years old when his father died, said the NYPD quickly became his “extended family.” 

“I always picture my dad as a superhero,” Kloepfer said. “Being in ESU, he had a really cool job. So it was something that you know I always looked up to and inspired to be.”

Erica Tierney, 26, whose uncle, Officer Stephen Driscoll, assigned to ESU Truck 4, also died while rescuing victims from the World Trade Center, is set to follow in his footsteps. 

“I was only one [year old] when he passed,” Tierney said. “But I meet people to this day who recognized the last name Driscoll, and they always say he had a positive impact on their lives.”

“I always grew up around officers and it was always a positive environment for me and my family,” she added. “They do a lot for the families, and it’s nice to see everyone come together.”

Tisch recognized the legacy families during the packed Wednesday ceremony. 

“Thank you for your lineage of service to this city,” the commissioner said. 

A breathtaking moment unfolded at Six Flags Over Georgia when passengers found themselves suspended mid-air on a ride. The startling scene was captured on video by one of the riders and subsequently shared online.

In the widely circulated footage, a bewildered rider can be heard exclaiming, “Why the heck are we stuck up here, man?”

WSB-TV identified the videographer as David Early, who mentioned that he dared to try the SkyScreamer ride once again just two days later.

The theme park described the incident as a result of a “technical delay.”

“The safety of our guests and team members is a top priority,” Six Flags Over Georgia told News Media in an email.

“The ride experienced a technical delay (similar to a check engine light) that paused its operation. Its safety system performed as designed, keeping all guests safe. Following a complete systems check, the ride was returned to its loading position and guests exited the ride,” Six Flags Over Georgia noted.

“The delay lasted approximately 10 minutes,” the message concluded.

The Six Flags Over Georgia website describes the attraction as an “amusement park swing ride” that lifts riders 260 feet into the air.

Since arriving in Los Angeles for this month’s World Cup, sleep has been a scarce luxury for Claudia.

However, it isn’t the thrilling matches that have captivated her attention in the City of Angels.

Claudia, a high-end escort hailing from London, has been enjoying her own form of success, earning upwards of $10,000 daily. She caters to wealthy, soccer-obsessed individuals who are keen to flaunt their opulence during what she describes as ‘super intense’ dates at the city’s most luxurious venues.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Claudia reminisced about a particularly memorable evening spent in a lavish suite at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, where rooms can cost around $12,000 per night. ‘It was wild, very beautiful, next level opulence,’ she reflected.

With a starting rate of $2,000 for a two-hour engagement that includes companionship, dinner, and intimacy, Claudia finds that the World Cup’s affluent spectators are more than willing to meet her price.

‘I like to go to a Michelin star because it’s very entertaining, they bring out the food like it’s a ritual, and you get a lot of emotions before you taste the food and that builds up to intimacy and connection.’ 

The clients paying her top dollar, however, are not just fans of football.

Claudia also revealed that many of her ‘flashy encounters’ in LA have been with several well-known soccer players who traveled for the games.

‘I wouldn’t say they are A-listers, but they are of significance,’ she said, adding that non-disclosure agreements bar her from revealing their nationalities or other identifying traits.

‘They’re nice, they’re tall, they’re the full package.’

Claudia, speaking candidly with the Daily Mail, asked that her real name and age be withheld because she is not legally permitted to work in the US, and because escorts have faced trouble with the law while in the States.

Lucy Huxley, a Canadian escort based in Berlin, claimed she was indefinitely banned from entering the US in 2017 after being stopped by border agents while traveling from Germany to Minnesota. 

She claimed in a TikTok post that she was detained, questioned and had her phone searched. When officers discovered social media accounts where she openly discussed her sex work, she claimed she was deported. 

During the games, sex workers have been caught in busts around host stadiums. Over the weekend, eight people in NJ were arrested in a prostitution sting just miles away from Metlife Stadium. 

While many traveling escorts and their clients have run into legal trouble, Claudia’s experience has been very lucrative. 

Since arriving in Los Angeles, Claudia’s met clients at the Chateau Marmont, Bel Air, and Waldorf Astoria hotels in Beverly Hills.

She’s also been on dates at Manuela, a farm-to-table eatery in LA’s Arts District, and Bottega Louie, an upscale Italian place in West Hollywood favored by stars such as the Kardashians, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez.

While working clients in hottest spots in the city, other working girls are easy to spot.

‘Everywhere I go in LA I identify working girls because I can understand the dynamics of the relationship,’ she said.

‘People would never know that’s an escort meeting a client because not everyone looks as flashy as me. Some girls look really normal, they are brunettes with brown hair, no work done, girl next door looks.’

Most of her World Cup clients are Americans, Claudia said, adding that the fans supporting the home team are much shyer than the men she meets in Europe.

‘If they ask you to do something taboo, they are often shy about it. It’s kind of like talking to a teddy bear,’ she said.

Many of her American clients requested to be pegged after their World Cup dates.

‘A lot of them ask me to use a strap-on. I think it’s a type of relaxation for them, something they don’t normally get in their home life.’

The key to their hearts and wallets, she said, is being ‘a good companion to make them feel seen.’

Claudia recalled arriving for a Sunday date last week at a trendy LA restaurant wearing heels only to find that she towered over her wealthy four-foot-eight client.

‘It was double the work to make him feel comfortable because he wasn’t feeling comfortable,’ she said. 

Her British and German clients, however, are less interested in companionship, and are much more direct. 

‘They know exactly what they want,’ she said.

‘You get to spank them, you get to tell them what to do. They want to be told where to stand, what position to be in, and if they want something new they have to ask nicely for it.’

Claudia’s dates with soccer stars are ‘very sexual, less based on companionship and more on the intimacy part.’

‘I don’t think they have the time or the patience. If they really enjoy it and they want to book you again, then they start wanting to get to know you a bit more,’ Claudia said. 

‘They want a lot of intimacy, maybe they have a lot of tension to release.’

Among her biggest spenders are wealthy clients from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who she referred to as her ‘precious clients’.

‘They want total domination but they are respectful, and if you don’t provide it they don’t ask again.’

Whether it’s companionship or a quick dinner date, her hourly rate remained the same. With tips, she can make as much as $3,000 an hour. 

The month-long tournament, spread across the US, Mexico and Canada, has attracted a host of celebrities and billionaires and created what some in the sex trade view as a golden opportunity to cash in. 

An estimated 9,000 European sex workers traveled to North America for the tournament, according to a survey by adult platform Erobella.

Another 22,000 said they were considering making the trip. Nearly half of those were heading to Los Angeles, with the rest split between New York and Dallas or following games from city to city. 

The demand is so great for high-end models that some agencies are openly marketing football-themed services.

One company, GFEBox, advertises itself as a ‘premium companionship agency’ for wealthy football fans, offering overnight stays, weekend bookings and travel companions across New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Washington, DC, from $2,500 a day.

On escort directory sites, escorts have begun adding football emojis to their profiles and advertising availability around match dates in host cities.

While prestige escorts have enjoyed a windfall, not everyone in the industry is celebrating.

One New York-based escort told the Daily Mail that her business had actually slowed during the tournament.

She said soaring hotel prices, flights and ticket costs meant that fans had little discretionary spending power left.

‘Fans are already getting royally f***ed by the ticket prices,’ she said.
