So Sad! Four-Year-Old Boy Found Wandering The Desert After Fleeing Syria! Incredible Pic HERE!

We are SO glad the UN just happened to be there!

We can't imagine what would've happened had this little boy — 4-year-old Marwan — not run into the staff stationed in Jordan!

It was Hala Gorani, a reporter and anchor for CNN International, who Tweeted the amazing photo of Marwan approaching the UN staff after being separated from his family while fleeing Syria (above)! He was found in the Jordanian desert, with all of his stuff in a tiny plastic bag.

The best news? They were able to reunite him with his family!

The saddest part of this is the bigger implications: the Syrian conflict has killed more than 130,000 people and forced six million to leave their homes — making it about 2,486,000 refugees who have fled Syria and relocated in the Middle East. Everything about that is unacceptable!

What strength this little boy has, though! Incredible!

Actually, They updated the report saying his mother was 20 FEET IN FRONT OF HIM. Don't get me wrong, still a sad situation, but he was not alone.

This story is false. The boy was not alone. This photo was cropped while hundreds of people were fleeing in a large group and this little boy was merely staggering behind. His family was only a few feet away. Still a very sad story but the facts are not accurate. Just another way the media manipulates the story to pull at your heart strings..

This picture turned out to be an illusion. There are hundreds of people including the boy's mother just out of frame. Imgur and Reddit posted the full image yesterday. Manipulated again is right. And commenter uneducated people kill me, you're seriously messed up for reacting that way. Who says stuff like that? Go do some research and find out for yourself that the image is manipulated.

Re: uneducated ppl kill me – I'm sorry, I meant to say "the consistent arab average IQ of mid 80s has been going on for 1000's of years and thats why that place is so backwards and messed up and pseudo primitive and thats the REAL reason they are messed up. They'd be messed up whether america dicked around there or not. There are no successful 85 IQ nations. 85 IQ is 85 IQ.. Until those women are allowed to choose their husbands 100%, they will never be able to selectively breed 88 IQ men out of the gene pool. The secret to middle eastern peace is to outlaw arranged marriages which will allow arabic women to selectively breed the IQ of their countrymen up to the higher 90s or even better 100+. THEN they will be able to think their way out of problems instead of killing their way out. If 102+ IQ american and brit males hadnt invented oil drilling technology, the arab world would have NO money at all. They should be thanking european men for those first wells".

I may not be educated in the history of Syria but I am thoroughly educated in the science of IQ having studied it since 13 (as a curiosity) something that you are unlikely to be educated in (society is too PC to teach humans about brain horsepower). The average IQ of the syrian male is high 80s (syrian american males may be higher due to "brain drain" where the smartest males leave the crappiest countries and settle in the west) is the real problem but people with that IQ always blame "white ghosts" instead of themselves. I do not believe america caused the middle east to be such a mess. I believe 80's IQ did. But I believe IQ's of geographic regions can be raised via selective intelligent breeding. Forced arranged marriages is NOT intelligent breeding. You cant selectively breed when forced into marital pairings.

But I also have a theory that there is such thing as intelligent ARRANGED marriages where parents arrange their daughters to marry the wealthiest most educated accomplished males they can find for their daughters (a higher IQ male) as a norm. Thats probably why some nations that practiced arranged marriages in the past have such high IQ's today. Intelligent parental mate selection for their daughters. There is a genetic downside to allowing women to choose their mates too. many will be drawn to SEXY muscular guys rather than BRAINY guys. This breeds a baby that is more muscular than brainy. Great if your society has to compete with lions for food but not much use for anything else but lumberjacking.

Little Girl In Viral Sea Lion Attack Gets Treated For Rare Disease That Can Cause Amputation

We hope she'll be okay!

The little Canadian girl who was dragged into the water by a sea lion in Richmond, British Columbia recently may have contracted a rare disease.

Staff at Vancouver Aquarium told the Lau family that the girl may be at risk of a condition known as seal finger. Apparently, sea lions carry bacteria called mycoplasma phocacerebrale. If a human is bitten, he or she may develop an antibiotic-resistant infection, which can lead to amputation of fingers or hands.

Vancouver Aquarium spokesperson Deana Lancaster told ABC News:
