Have you ever been punished for clicking pictures of your own children? Well, never, right? &nbsp;

If yes, then consider yourself lucky, as a man in the United States had one of the worst experiences he might remember for the rest of his life. &nbsp;

In a case of sheer bad luck, the man was attacked with pepper spray by a woman in Arlington, Virginia state on Tuesday when he was taking pictures of his children. It seems the woman had mistakenly thought that they were not his kids.&nbsp;

In the incident, the woman first observed the man while&nbsp;taking pictures of the children. She informed a security guard nearby about the situation, as per the crime report on Wednesday. &nbsp;

When the guard found that the children belonged to the man, the woman just approached and attacked him with the spray. Afterwards, she fled the scene. &nbsp;

The investigation is currently going on and the woman is still at large, police said. &nbsp;

The cops are searching for a black woman, who is in her late 20s to mid-30s on the charges of "malicious injury by caustic agent." &nbsp;

Hard luck? US man gets attacked with pepper spray by woman for clicking photos of own kids

A Russian teenager has been jailed over a plot to blow up a virtual FSB security service building in the Minecraft video game. Well, we are not kidding, it is absolutely true. &nbsp;

For allegedly planning the plot, the child has been sentenced to five years in prison. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The ruling seems to be falling under a broader pattern where young Russians can be put behind bars over controversial and preemptive terrorism charges. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The news was shared by&nbsp;a rights lawyer Pavel Chikov on the messaging service ‘Telegram’.&nbsp;Chikov said that in Siberia, a military court sentenced 16-year-old Nikita Uvarov to five years in a penal colony for “training for terrorist activities”. &nbsp;

The hearing for the case was conducted behind closed doors. &nbsp;

In the case, two other defendants were cleared of criminal charges and handed suspended sentences as they cooperated with investigators, Chikov added. &nbsp;

In 2020, Uvarov and two other teenagers were detained in the Siberian city of Kansk for spreading leaflets supporting a Moscow mathematician and anarchist activist, who was on trial for vandalism. &nbsp;

The cops said that when they took the phones of these kids, they found an exchange over plans to blow up an FSB building created in Minecraft game. &nbsp;&nbsp;

As per the investigators, the teenagers were learning to make improvised explosive devices. They also practised detonating them in abandoned buildings. &nbsp;&nbsp;

“For the last time in this court I want to say: I am not a terrorist,” Uvarov said. &nbsp;&nbsp;
