If you're anything like me you probably come across stories that you feel like sharing, but half-way through posting a new thread you think "Maybe it's not necessary to start a whole new thread about this I might be the only person who finds it interesting. OMG, if I post this they're going to think I'm weird. Wait, maybe they already think I'm weird. Why is life so hard, I'm off to cry in the corner." Again.
So I thought it might be worth having a thread where we can post any interesting, but maybe not that interesting stories we come across. I suppose if they do start to generate a lot of discussion then we could ask the mods to split it out into their own thread.
So, for the first (and please God don't let it be the last) contribution, this story from the BBC:
US woman 'locked children in car boot' to go shopping
Edit: And is anyone surprised it was outside a Wallmart?

US woman 'locked children in car boot' to go shopping
I'd ask what she was thinking, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't!A woman has been arrested in the US after allegedly locking her children, aged two and five, in the boot of her car while she went shopping.
US media report that Tori Castillo, 39, is facing child abuse charges and the children are now with their father.
Onlookers in the car park instructed the five-year-old on how to open the boot from the inside, reports say.
Passersby had noticed the car shaking and noise coming from inside where it was parked outside a Walmart.
The incident happened on Thursday in Riverdale, Utah. It is not clear how long the children were in the boot.
Edit: And is anyone surprised it was outside a Wallmart?
