A larger-looking butt can sometimes reflect posture, not body shape. Researchers say this posture change appears more often in autism and ADHD.

The posture pattern behind a “duck butt”

First, the issue is often an anterior pelvic tilt. That means the pelvis tips forward instead of staying level. This tilt increases the lower-back curve and makes the belly and glutes stick out. Anyone can have it, but studies link it to autism and ADHD in children.

Why it may happen in these kids

Next, many children with autism or ADHD have low muscle tone. That can leave the core and glutes too weak to hold the pelvis in place. Sitting for long periods or toe walking can also tighten hip flexors and the lower back. These changes can make posture harder to control during movement.

What studies have found

Also, one study used 3D motion analysis and found children with autism walked with a more forward-tilted pelvis. They also pushed off less with their ankles and bent their hips forward more. Another study found boys with ADHD had a pelvic angle about 4.5 degrees higher than peers. Experts warn the tilt can cause back, hip, or knee pain.

Finally, stretching hip flexors and strengthening the core and glutes can help. Exercises like bridges, planks, leg lifts, and wall sits may improve alignment. Therapists can tailor plans for children, including sensory needs.

Police found human remains while searching for missing Texas teen Camila Mendoza Olmos. Her mother repeated four words as officers worked near their home.

Mother’s reaction at the scene

First, Rosario Olmos watched deputies and FBI agents recover remains in a field. A search volunteer said she kept saying, “So close to home.” The field sits near the family’s San Antonio neighborhood. Officials believe the body had been there about five or six days.

Clues found near the remains

Next, a firearm owned by a relative was reported missing after Camila vanished. Police recovered a gun near the body, but they have not confirmed it matches. Reports described it as a 9mm Luger pistol, the same make as the missing gun. A source said the remains also matched Camila’s description.

Last known movements and investigation

Also, Camila, 19, left home on Christmas Eve, believed to take a morning walk. Video showed her in pajama shorts and a black hoodie near her car. Officials said she left her phone at home. They searched the same field earlier, but high brush blocked parts of it. The medical examiner has not confirmed identity or cause of death.

Finally, Sheriff Javier Salazar said foul play is not expected and pointed to signs of self-harm. He said Camila showed depression and suicidal thoughts, but her father disputed that claim. Authorities expect identification within a day or two.

A London psychic says he has troubling visions about 2026. Nicolas Aujula claims he previously predicted Covid-19 and other major events.

Who Nicolas Aujula says he is

First, Aujula, 39, says he has had visions since age 17. He claims he cannot control what he sees. He also says many visions feel symbolic and need interpretation. He says his past visions included Covid-19, Trump’s election, and AI growth.

What he predicts for 2026

Next, Aujula says he foresees earthquakes in southern Europe and Turkey. He also mentions quakes in parts of Asia and the Pacific. He claims a dangerous storm event will happen somewhere. He also predicts a scandal involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Trump and a “mysterious illness”

However, Aujula says 2026 could bring the “downfall” of Donald Trump. He describes seeing Trump fall while stepping off an airplane. He says the image may be symbolic, not literal. He also predicts a mysterious illness with aneurysm-like symptoms. An aneurysm is a weak blood vessel that can burst.

Finally, Aujula warns that visions can be unclear and misread. Still, he says his images point to a difficult 2026 for world events.

A New York City bodybuilder has spoken after stopping a pit bull attack on a one-year-old. Kevin Richardson said he acted fast because the child’s screams were unbearable.

What happened outside the bank

First, the attack happened around 11:10 a.m. outside a Santander Bank. Video shows the boy’s mother begging for help as people punched and pulled at the dog. The pit bull, a 24-month-old named Disco Bubba, would not let go. Richardson stepped in and used a chokehold to force the dog to release.

🚨 Horrific: Pit bull mauls 1-year-old toddler near Union Square, NYC clamps onto his leg & won’t let go for over a minute. Mom & strangers fight to save him. Deep wound, but he’ll live! Owner grabs dog & walks away! NO CHARGES! 💔#pitbull #Attack pic.twitter.com/ay1PL5RQyB

Richardson explains his split-second choice

Next, Richardson described squeezing the dog’s neck to cut off blood flow. He said he pressed on both arteries and held tight. He admitted he feared it might not work. He said he considered he might need to kill the dog. However, the dog went limp, and he released the hold before it passed out.

Child treated as owner avoids charges

Also, the boy went to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue with leg cuts and needed many stitches. Police said the bite started when the father lifted the child and the leg swung near the dog’s mouth. The dog’s owner faces no criminal charges, but the family is exploring legal steps to have the dog euthanized. Richardson then calmed the parents, checked on his son, and continued his walk.

Finally, many people praised Richardson online for his bravery. He said he simply did what he had to do to save a child.

Texas officers say a body was found during the search for Camila Mendoza Olmos. The 19-year-old vanished in San Antonio on Christmas Eve morning.

What police know so far

First, Camila left her home in Caspian Spring just before 7 a.m. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says she wore baby blue pajama bottoms, a blue and black hoodie, and white shoes. A search team found a body in a nearby field on Tuesday afternoon. Sheriff Javier Salazar said foul play is not suspected, but a firearm was nearby.

Identity not yet confirmed

Next, officials said it is too early to confirm the body’s identity. The medical examiner will confirm the person and the cause of death. Salazar also said officers were searching for a missing firearm owned by a family member. He stressed the investigation continues.

New details from the investigation

Also, Salazar said Camila may have faced mental health struggles, including depression. He said she had expressed suicidal thoughts in the past. However, police are still checking all possibilities, including abduction. Video showed someone believed to be Camila near her car early Christmas Eve, then her car stayed behind.

Finally, several agencies helped search, including the FBI. Homeland Security also said it did not detain her. Police continue to investigate while awaiting official identification.

Mali and Burkina Faso have announced a travel ban on US citizens. They acted after the US added them to a wider travel ban list.

US expands travel ban list

First, President Donald Trump added more countries to the US travel ban list this month. The total number of affected places rose to 39. The rules create visa limits for some countries, meaning stricter entry permission checks.

Restrictions start January 1, 2026

Next, the new US restrictions take effect on January 1, 2026. Some countries face full bans, while others face partial bans. A partial ban means some visas allowed, others blocked.

Mali and Burkina Faso respond

However, Mali said it will apply the same rules to Americans immediately. It cited reciprocity, meaning “we apply the same rules back.” Burkina Faso’s foreign minister said his country followed the same reciprocity principle.

Finally, Niger has also moved to block Americans by stopping visas and entry. Chad previously suspended visas for Americans in June after it faced earlier US restrictions.

The newly released trailer for Disney’s live-action Moana has set off a wave of backlash online. What fans hoped would be a thrilling first look instead sparked accusations of racism and calls for a boycott. The uproar centers on one surprising detail: Moana’s hair.

In the original 2016 film, Moana’s thick, curly, ocean-tossed hair became a defining part of her look. But in the new live-action trailer, newcomer Catherine Laga’aia appears with noticeably straighter and flatter hair. For many longtime fans, the change feels like a step backward — and even an act of whitewashing.

Social media quickly filled with angry comments. Viewers argued that Catherine’s real hair actually resembles the animated Moana more than the version shown on screen. Some accused Disney of lightening both the character’s skin tone and her natural texture, saying the studio “didn’t think they whitewashed her enough.”

Fans also pointed out that Disney once invested in new technology to accurately portray Moana’s curly hair in the animated film. That effort made the choice to smooth it out in the live-action version even more frustrating. To many, it felt like a loss of cultural authenticity.

Still, not everyone agrees with the criticism. Some viewers noted that Polynesians have a wide range of hair textures, including straight hair, and accused detractors of overreacting. The debate has quickly become divided, with strong opinions on both sides.

Despite the controversy, excitement for the film remains high. With Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui and fan-favorite songs included in the trailer, Disney is hoping the film’s July 2026 release will draw massive crowds — even as the conversation around representation continues.

Kate Middleton has spoken again about her cancer experience. The Princess of Wales called the period after treatment “really difficult.”

Diagnosis and early treatment

First, Kate announced her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. She said she had major abdominal surgery in London in January 2024. Doctors first thought her condition was not cancer. However, tests after surgery found cancer, so she began preventive chemotherapy. Preventive chemotherapy means treatment to stop cancer returning.

Slow return to public duties

Next, Kate has taken a careful return to royal work. She was due to attend Royal Ascot in June with Prince William, but she did not go. A former royal spokeswoman said Kate is listening to her body and easing back. She completed treatment in September 2024 and said she was in remission in January 2025.

Finding a “new normal”

Also, Kate visited a hospital garden in Essex and spoke about recovery. She said people often stay brave during treatment, then expect normal life to return. However, she said the phase after treatment can feel hard and confusing. She added that guidance and someone to talk to is valuable. She said nature helped her feel at peace.

Finally, Kate said finding a new normal takes time and can feel like a roller coaster. She also confirmed her 2025 Christmas carol service will return at Westminster Abbey and air on ITVX on Christmas Eve.

The disappearance of 18-year-old Joshua Maddux puzzled his Colorado community for years. In May 2008, the quiet, outdoors-loving teen left home for a walk — something he did often — and never returned. His family searched tirelessly, holding onto hope that he had simply set off to start a new life after a difficult period marked by the loss of his older brother.

But after seven long years, an unexpected discovery brought the mystery to a heartbreaking end. In 2015, a property owner began demolishing an old, unused cabin less than a mile from the Maddux home. As workers dismantled the structure, they uncovered human remains lodged deep inside a chimney. Dental records confirmed the unimaginable: the body was Joshua’s.

The scene raised far more questions than answers. Joshua’s clothing had been neatly folded inside the cabin, and a heavy piece of furniture had been dragged in front of the fireplace. His body was found in a cramped, head-down position, yet no injuries, drugs, or signs of violence were detected. The initial ruling of accidental death — that he had climbed in and gotten stuck — quickly came under scrutiny when the cabin’s owner revealed that the chimney had once been fitted with sturdy metal grating.

Officials reopened the case, acknowledging that the circumstances didn’t align neatly with any single explanation. Whether accident, foul play, or something unknowable, the truth remains uncertain. For Joshua’s family, the discovery ended their search but left behind a tragedy without clear resolution.

A death row inmate’s final hours ended in shocking pain after a tragic last meal mistake. Wesley Ira Purkey, 68, was executed in 2020 but endured what experts call “excruciating suffering.”

Purkey had been sentenced to death for the horrific 1998 kidnapping and murder of 16-year-old Jennifer Long. He also confessed to killing 80-year-old Mary Bales with a hammer. Both crimes left families devastated, with Jennifer’s father saying: “He took my daughter’s last breath. There is no closure.”

Medical reports show Purkey’s lethal injection caused fluid to rush into his lungs, creating the feeling of drowning. “Most prisoners will experience sensations of suffocation from pentobarbital,” explained Dr. Gail Van Norman. His autopsy confirmed severe pulmonary damage during the procedure.

In his final words, Purkey expressed deep remorse, saying he was “truly sorry” for the suffering he caused. Strangely, his last meal request for pecan pie was never fulfilled—he asked to eat it “later,” not realizing there would be no later.

This haunting story raises questions about justice, punishment, and human suffering. What do you think—does true justice ever bring peace?
