It’s incredible to consider how sophisticated and technologically advanced children’s toys have become over the years, considering how content we once were with much basic toys. Consider an old-fashioned pair of roller skates. Kids used to get together and go roller skating long before scooters and trick bikes gained popularity. Additionally, if you grew up in the 1950s or 1960s, your conception of roller skates is probably very different from what they look like now.
Roller skating was first popularized by the baby boomers, however it dates back to the mid-1700s. A popular design of roller skates that had a wooden or metal base and leather straps first appeared in the 1950s.
You just stepped onto the skate base while wearing your shoes, if you can still remember using these roller skates. Except for a little toe clamp, the straps went around your ankle, which was virtually the only thing holding your foot in place.
These skates were so much fun and created so many memories. Roller skating was not only a hobby; it was a rite of passage, complete with learning to balance, the thrill of speeding down the pavement with pals, and the occasional injured knee.
Even if today’s youth are accustomed to electric scooters and high-tech devices, there is something unique and endearing about the classic design and simplicity of roller skates. They take us back to a simpler time when we could walk two feet to have fun and life moved more slowly.
Mystery Deepens: Pregnant Teen Found Dead in Woods After Vanishing with Stranger!
Mia Campos, a 16-year-old girl who was pregnant, disappeared in Georgia. Sadly, she has been found dead.
Mia was expecting her first baby, due in the fall. People got worried when she left her parents’ home with someone they didn’t know on July 14th and didn’t come back.
The police in Gwinnett County, Georgia received a report early on July 15th that her body was found in a wooded area near the road.
According to PEOPLE magazine, a family member used a phone app to find Mia’s body. The medical examiner later confirmed that she was killed.
\Last Wednesday, police arrested Mia’s ex-boyfriend, Jesus Monroy, for lying to them. But they haven’t said he killed Mia.
Campos’s family says that Monroy is the father of the baby Mia was going to have before she died. According to 11 Alive, Mia’s parents, Miriam Zarate and Edward Campos, found their daughter’s body just minutes from their house.
“I found my daughter lying face-down,” Edward said.
“It was really tough. I knew something was wrong – her lips, her bleeding nose.”
He added: “We somehow ended up there, and because I didn’t have a flashlight, I just used my phone. Then I said, ‘She’s right there.’ It just broke my heart. Thank God that I found her.”
As per reports, Mia was the youngest of five siblings. Her unborn child, a boy, was expected to be born in September. She had planned to name him Sebastian.
Miriam and Edward told Fox 5 that Monroy was with them for two days after Mia’s death.
“We keep praying every night and that’s why he came with his parents. That’s why I was shocked when they sent me the notice. I was like, ‘Wow,’” Edward explained.
We sincerely hope the person responsible for Mia’s murder is found and apprehended.
