Bobby Webber was seven months old when his uncle tortured him on the Central Coast in September 2014.
Bobby’s injuries were so horrific that his medical team told his parents to turn off his life support because he would never recover from his trauma, reports Daily Mail.
His devastated parents followed this advice, but against all odds Bobby continued to breathe on his own, and he continued to heal.
The little boy was left at home with his biological aunt’s partner while his parents were on their honeymoon.
In the four hours Bobby’s aunt was gone, his uncle, Andrew Nolan, inflicted multiple skull fractures from blunt force trauma, blood pooling in his eye from being shaken so violently, fractured vertebrae, bruised genitalia and bite marks on little Bobby.
Bobby’s parents were devastated when they switched off life-support, and Bobby’s determination to live is nothing short of miraculous, earning him the name Bobby the Brave.
Bobby’s injuries left him with cerebral palsy but he continues to make progress in his recovery. Sadly, Bobby will endure significant health issues for the rest of his life.
After initially denying the attack, Nolan pleaded guilty on Bobby’s second birthday, and is awaiting sentencing in June.
The family had to move closer to the Nepean Hospital to continue Bobby’s treatment and they care for him full time which impacts them financially. A GoFundMe page has set up to help with the cost of Bobby’s ongoing treatment and to assist with the families expenses. For details go to gofundme.com/bobby-the-brave.
There was a time when Tom Cruise was a devoted Catholic, and even considered a career as a priest – so how did he become the world’s most famous Scientologist?
A new book by the father of the head of Scientology, David Miscavige, claims the bizarre religion wooed Cruise not unlike how a potential lover would.
Ron Miscavige’s memoir Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige and Me – extracted in The Daily Mail today – says David launched a “charm offensive” to befriend Cruise.
He took Cruise clay pigeon shooting, racing through Los Angeles in supercars and even wined and dined him, treating him to dinner at the Scientology head base where they ate next to a life-size replica of spaceship.
Ron, David’s father, claimed his son’s plan was to make Cruise feel like he and David were “brothers” and then “exploited” that relationship for the benefit of his beloved church.
Before long, Cruise was the most famous Scientologist in the world, starring in promotional films for the church, donating millions and publicly espousing it at every given opportunity.

A boy has dramatically escaped harm by punching his would-attacker when he was grabbed in the toilet block of his Geelong primary school.
The boy was going to the toilets at Mandama Primary School in Grovedale, near Geelong, at about 2pm on Monday when he was grabbed on the arm by an unknown male.
The quick-thinking youngster punched the man and managed to break his grip before running to alert teachers, the Geelong Advertiser reports.
Police were called in to search the school but couldn’t find the man, who was described as between 20-30 years old, Caucasian, tall and skinny with dark stubble. He was wearing a black hoodie and black sunglasses.
The Department of Education is also investigating the incident.
The Baywatch actor popped the question to girlfriend Hayley Roberts after nearly five years of dating.
“I had a saying, ‘You don’t get married because you want to live with someone, you get married because you can’t live without them’,” he told the UK’s Hello! magazine.
“I felt that way. I knew that I was really unhappy without her.”

Meanwhile, a devoted David has dropped down a knee multiple times proposing to Hayley, the first time being in 2012 on the top of the Harbour Bridge.
But it’s taken several attempts to finally seal the deal.
Speaking of the romantic beach-side proposal in Malibu, Hayley, 36, couldn’t keep the tears away.
“We were both in tears… I genuinely had no idea he was going to do that. I’m still overwhelmed,” she laughed.
While the Hoff was concerned about their 27-year age gap, Hayley admitted it didn’t phase her.
“I don’t worry about it. I don’t want to miss out on being with someone I love because of what might happen down the line.”
The American icon, who met the Welsh beauty during his time on Britain’s got Talent, is already dad to his two daughters, Hayley, 23, and Taylor, 25, from his 1984 marriage to Pamela Beach.
Both girls couldn’t be happier for their dad.
“I told my girls what I was going to do and they were both really supportive,” he said.
“It’s tough. No one wants to see their parents split up. But they love Hayley and they’re just happy for me.”
The actor and Paige Butcher welcomed their first child together, a daughter, on Tuesday May 3, in Los Angeles.
The 55-year-old and his model girlfriend named their bundle of joy Izzy Oona Murphy and she weighed 7 lbs., 15 oz. (about 3.6 kgs), and measured 19 1/2 inches (about 49.53 centimetres) long.

“Both mother and daughter are doing well,” their rep revealed in a statement.
This is the first child for the 36-year-old Aussie.
Little Izzy will be joining Eddie’s clan with his oldest children Eric, with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely, and Christian, with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood.
He has five more kids with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell: Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella. He also shares nine-year-old Angel with former Spice Girls star Mel B.
The duo, who revealed they were having a girl a month ago, are notoriously private.
Having been together for more than four years, Paige revealed to Vanity Fair that she prefers to stay out of the limelight.
“I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there,” she explained.
“I felt like I was giving out too much information. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now.”
