A heartbreaking tragedy took place when a 3-year-old boy named Josiah Toleafoa was killed on the day he was supposed to celebrate his third birthday.
The sweet boy and his family were at the parking lot of Play City, an indoor venue for kids’ parties, when a car hit Josiah.
Witnesses of the tragedy said that his devastated mother screamed and cried hysterically as paramedics were trying to save his life. Unfortunately, Josiah didn’t make it. He died at the Rady Children’s Hospital.
This family’s lives turned upside down. What was supposed to be a day of joy turned into the worst experience of their lives. Their happiness was replaced with grief and sorrow and their world shattered into a million pieces.
Reportedly, the 36-year-old driver who killed Josiah and whose identity hasn’t been confirmed wasn’t under influence of drugs or alcohol. He stayed at the scene and cooperated with the authorities and reasons behind the loss of control haven’t been confirmed.
Members of the family started a GoFundMe to help Josiah’s mom and dad with the funeral expenses.
“JOSIAH brought the family together- his incredible SMILE, LOVING HEART simply brought JOY to any room. There was no time to see him do amazing things. I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD,” the boy’s aunt, Tatiana Toleafoa wrote.
“We’re doing this gofundme to help with my sweet nephew’s funeral expenses and services for the little angel that touched so many lives in so many different ways before he was called to Heaven. Any amount would help, anything at all. We are so thankful to have loving family and friends to be with us and love us through this horrible tragedy and want to be able to put him to rest to say goodbye and never forget the little boy who loved with a tremendous heart,” the page stated.
The owner of Play City donated $2,000 to the Josiah’s family and that the landlord matched his donation as well.
Currently, no arrests have been made.
We are so very sorry for this family’s heartbreak. There is no greater loss than that of losing a child.
Rest in peace, Josiah.
Miss Italy Pageant Holds Ground Against Woke Pressure, Remains “Only Women Since Birth”
Like Miss America, Miss Italy has made the audacious decision to honor tradition by announcing that only biological women would be permitted to vie for the esteemed title. The event’s creator, Patrizia Mirigliani, resolutely declared that Miss Italy will preserve the essence of authentic womanhood in the competition and refuse to jump on the flashy bandwagon of trans activism.
Recent Miss Netherlands pageant events, in which a biological male winner emerged victorious, have provoked intense discussions and outcries of transphobia from numerous quarters. Miss Italy, however, is unwavering in its determination to uphold the competition’s integrity and honor the natural beauty of women who identify as female.
Mirigliani gave a clear response to the issue when she said, “I think it’s a bit ridiculous that beauty contests have been trying to make the news lately.” However, Miss Italy will not sacrifice its morals in the name of political correctness. Participation is restricted to biological women; individuals who do not identify as such are not permitted.
Miss Italy has welcomed applicants with tattoos, piercings, and hair weaves as a way to accommodate changing social norms throughout the years. But the pageant crosses the line when it comes to redefining what it means to be a woman.
“Since its inception, our competition has upheld that participants must be women from birth,” Mirigliani added. This choice is a reflection of our awareness that beauty may change and that we must stick to our essential principles. We will not compromise on what it means to be a woman, but we will celebrate individuality and expression.
Rikkie Valerie Kolle, the transgender winner of the Miss Netherlands contest, talked about her experience and path toward empowerment. Although Miss Italy’s victory demonstrates her personal development, her unwavering choice pays homage to the pageant’s heritage of showcasing female beauty and its history.
Their conviction has not wavered in the face of the controversy regarding Miss Italy’s position. They remain steadfast in the face of opposition and criticism, refusing to yield to contemporary narratives that seek to conflate the distinctions between the biological sexes.
Conservatives everywhere are praising Miss Italy for her choice to honor custom and stress the value of honoring women who have encountered particular difficulties and experiences. Many people view the pageant as a timeless institution, thus it is admirable that Miss Italy is committed to maintaining its historical roots.
Even though the world is changing quickly, Miss Italy is still a steadfast champion of femininity who presents women’s beauty in its purest form. As the tournament go forward, it sends a strong message to aspirant women everywhere, encouraging them to embrace their individuality and inherent beauty instead of letting attempts to redefine womanhood get in the way.
In a culture where limits are being pushed, Miss Italy’s choice shows that customs don’t have to be given up in order to welcome change. They continue to provide an enticing platform where women may shine, inspire, and make a lasting impression by being true to their ideals.
The Miss Italy pageant is an institution that celebrates femininity, honors history, and highlights the strength of being a woman, not merely a competition. Miss Italy remains steadfast and unwavering in its dedication to womanhood and encouraging future generations of women as the journey progresses and new tales are recorded.
