Author Diana Beasley

‘Look Into My Eyes’, North Port High School is The Center Of New Crime Docuseries.

North Port High School, located in North Port, Florida is at the center of an upcoming docuseries that will premiere on Sundance Channel, a part of AMC Networks,  on June 15th.

The series titled, ‘Look Into My Eyes’, will take a look at a former North Port High School principal, Dr. George Kenney.  The True Crime Story will detail what is described as the beloved principal’s fall from grace where he practiced hypnosis on the school’s students.

According to a 2011 report from ABC News, he hypnotized approximately 70 students between the years of 2006 – 2011.  The school began an investigation after learning that Kenney admitted to performing hypnosis on 16-year old Wesley McKinley, a day before the teen committed suicide.

 

In 2011, three North Port High School students died following a series of suspicious events.  The story received global recognition at the time.  The series will investigate the events leading up to the deaths of the three teenagers and the aftermath experienced by the families, witnesses, experts and all people involved in the small Florida town.

Seven Out Of The Ten Most Dangerous Beaches In The US Are In Florida

Living in The Sunshine State, we have the luxury of going to the beach whenever we please, but seven out of the ten most dangerous beaches in the US are in Florida.

Since the hurricane, I just started back with my beach days about a month ago. So far, I’ve checked out Vanderbilt Beach in Naples, Fort Myers Beach and both Tarpon Bay and Bowman’s Beach on Sanibel. I realized just how much I missed my beach days while cleanup efforts were underway. Whether you’re staying local or traveling to other parts of the state, beaches can be dangerous. Of course, we don’t like to think about that part as we’re laying out, enjoying a cocktail, maybe playing a little volleyball. But unfortunately, something you look at as being fun and relaxing can come with some hazards that could even be deadly.

Recently, Travel Lens looked at different beaches around the US in terms of surfing deaths, hurricanes and shark attacks. What might not surprise you is that the deadliest beaches are along the East Coast. So thankfully here in SWFL, we have less to worry about. Though, that’s not to say you shouldn’t be careful. Fox put together a list of the top 10 most dangerous beaches in the country and seven of them are right here in Florida. You can check out the full list here, but let’s see where beaches in Florida rank.

Most Dangerous Beaches in Florida:

  • 10. Fort Lauderdale

    Fort Lauderdale has a danger score of 5.37 out of 10. This beach has seen three surf deaths and two shark attacks. Fort Lauderdale has also seen 120 hurricanes since 1851.
