Boy lost on Peak District walk reunited with family
Kinder Mountain Rescue Team were called on Friday afternoon, after the boy had decided to walk ahead of his parents on a trek from Hayfield to Kinder Downfall.
When the family realised he became separated whilst walking up Sandy Heyes, rescue teams from Buxton, Glossop and Search Dogs England were called out to start the "major search".
After three and a half hours of searching, rescuers said the boy managed to make his own way down and ended up back at his family's car, which was parked in Bowden Bridge.
In a social media post, the Kinder Mountain Rescue Team said: "Special thanks to the group of walkers who took the time to look after the distressed mother and then escort her until we were able to meet up with them.
"It's great to see people taking the time to help others on the hills."

Mom and Dad of 4 Used To Do Weekends Together—Then Realized Their Mistake
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Two parents from Oklahoma City are going viral for how they get some much-needed time alone. Marek Cornett, 41, told Newsweek it was one of the "best things" she and husband Casey, 42, have done for their marriage, parenting and mental health. In a reel on Instagram (@marekcornett), the mom of four boys, including a set of triplets, explained the system: on Saturdays, she wakes up with the kids, while Casey sleeps in and enjoys a free morning until 2:30 p.m. to nap time. From left: Marek Cornett, 41, enjoys her alone time while sipping a coffee and reading. From left: Marek Cornett, 41, enjoys her alone time while sipping a coffee and reading. @marekcornett On Sundays, the couple reverse roles. Each partner gets one long stretch of uninterrupted time to recharge, followed by full family afternoons and evenings. Marek said that the idea was born after a particularly demanding season for her and Casey. "I ran for office in 2023," she said. "While I was campaigning, my husband had large stretches of time when he was home with them solo. Once the campaign wrapped, he tossed out the idea of swapping weekend days." Before the change, weekends felt like an extension of weekday chaos. "We'd both try to rest, both try to parent, and end up feeling like we were doing neither well," Marek said. "We were constantly 'on,' constantly negotiating, and constantly tired." The swap helped them reset expectations and take actual time for themselves. Knowing that there was a break on the way for them both was a key component. "It's improved our marriage because it removes resentment or silent scorekeeping," Marek said. "And for our mental health, just knowing that a block of time is coming—to read, run errands alone, sit in silence—makes a huge difference," she continued. "It doesn't require money or child care, just intention." Marek's reel went viral on the platform, amassing more than 4.5 million views and over 20,000 likes. Hundreds of parents commented on the clip, sharing that they also have a similar parenting arrangement. "My wife and I swap every morning during the week and weekend, it's the best and works great for us!!" one user wrote. "We did that when the babies were little. It was a game changer for our family," added a second. Marek said she has even seen couples trying it out and sharing how much they enjoy solo time with their kids—and solo time without them. Many have reached out with practical questions, like how to handle the swap during sports seasons or when housework piles up. "I've been able to help guide with what we do in those instances as well," Marek said. She added that the time alone isn't just about physical rest—it is also about mental relief. "Because without it, you carry a mental load 24/7," Marek said. "Even when you're 'off,' you're not really off—you're listening for the baby monitor; you're mentally planning dinner; you're half-watching the kids while trying to recharge. "Guilt-free alone time lets you turn your brain off," she continued. "It reminds you that you're still a person, not just a parent. And when you come back to your kids, you come back full—not running on fumes."

Seattle Woman Sues Blue Angels Who Were 'Terrorizing' Her Cat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Seattle resident is suing the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy's flight demonstration squadron, accusing them of "terrorizing" her cat and of silencing her dissent online. Lauren Ann Lombardi, owner of cat Layla, whom Lombardi refers to in the suit as her "daughter," has accused Blue Angels jets of creating a "sonic assault" over her house every August, which she says exacerbated Layla's heart condition and "marred" her "final days on Earth," according to the lawsuit, filed in the Western District Court of Washington at Seattle and seen by Newsweek. Lombardi messaged and posted about the Blue Angels' impact on her cat on Instagram before being blocked by their official account, according to her suit. She says she was "silenced," and is suing the Navy for violating her First Amendment rights. "The Blue Angels need to stop being such thin-skinned triggered little babies," she told Newsweek via her lawyer. Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Navy and organizers of Seattle's August Seafair air show, which features the Blue Angels, via email for contact.

Inset: Layla, the cat Main: Scott Serio, Inset: Lawsuit against the US Navy/Main: Cal Sport Media via AP Images, Inset: US District Court Western District of Washington Why It Matters The August Blue Angels flyover in Seattle is an annual tradition. Blue Angels pilots have been performing across the U.S. since 1946 in front of over 500 million fans over the years, per Seafair. She has accused the Navy of a constitutional violation as it allegedly blocked her from the Blue Angels Instagram account. What To Know Lombardi alleges that the show, which she has called "state-sanctioned acoustic torture," subjected her "beloved family member," Layla, to "pure debilitating terror" prior to her death. Lombardi's constitutional claims stem from her allegedly being blocked by Blue Angel's Instagram page @usnavyblueangels. Her suit alleges their Instagram page must follow government guidelines and cannot block users from engaging with it. The suit states that prior to Layla's death, the Blue Angels conducted flights over Seattle. This led to Lombardi sending several expletive-laden messages and a petition calling for the end of their demonstration to the Blue Angel's Instagram account. She also commented on many of posts. On or around August 5, 2024, she alleges she was blocked by the account. The suit states: "As a result of the blocking, Plaintiff suffered immediate and ongoing Constitutional harm: she was prevented from communicating with the Blue Angels, receiving information from their account, viewing public discourse on their page, and having others see her Constitutionally protected criticism of government actions."

A week prior to her death, per Lombardi, Layla was taken home to recover from heart surgery. Lombardi alleges that she was unable to recover because she was immediately scared by noise from the Blue Angels show overhead. "Even through the narcotic fog of sedation and her weakened state, Layla's primitive limbic system overruled her medication and she fled in primal panic beneath furniture, her labored breathing escalating to clinically dangerous levels," says the lawsuit. Lombardi's suit cites several studies related to noise pollution, including one from 2024 from the University of Washington on the impact of military aircraft at Washington's Naval Air Station, on Whidbey Island. Using analysis of the Navy's own acoustic monitoring data, it found that more than 74,000 people were exposed to noise levels associated with adverse health effects. The suit is against Commander Adam Bryan in his official capacity as Commanding Officer of the Blue Angels; Lieutenant Ben Bushong in his official capacity as Public Affairs Officer of the Blue Angels; and an unnamed person in their official capacity as Social Media Administrator of the Blue Angels. The American Civil Liberties Union states on its website: "If a social media account is being used for government business, the First Amendment prohibits blocking followers. So, an account dedicated to a government agency's work cannot block followers. When an individual who works in government posts about their work, whether they may block followers is more complicated." What People Are Saying Lauren Ann Lombardi told Newsweek via her lawyer: "The Blue Angels need to stop being such thin-skinned triggered little babies, and they need to personally and earnestly apologize for the harm they caused me and my daughter Layla." Nacim Bouchtia, an attorney representing Lombardi, told Newsweek: "The First Amendment prohibits government agencies from blocking any client hopes that one day the Blue Angels performances will be replaced with a safe alternative." The lawsuit reads: "Layla's condition continued to deteriorate and she left home again, for the final time. She spent her last week fighting for her life in a specialty hospital before being humanely euthanized on August 11, 2024, surrounded by her inconsolably grieving family. Layla's final days on Earth were marred by sadistic suffering—cowering in terror beneath furniture while her ailing heart struggled against the Blue Angels's relentless noise pollution. Layla died knowing only fear when she should have known only love."
