The Colombian Defense Minister, Guillermo Botero, presented his resignation on Wednesday, following a series of accusations for lack of transparency in reporting information on deaths in bombings in which eight minors died. On Tuesday, Botero faced his second debate on the motion of censure at the Colombian Congress in 15 months at the head of the Ministry of Defense. Senator Roy Barreras, who called the debate, made a revelation considered scandalous: at least seven minors (the prosecution later said they were eight), between the ages of 12 and 17, were killed in an Army bombing against criminal organizations . The events occurred in August in the department of Caquetá, in the southwest of the country. But it was not the only controversy in which Botero was criticized.

4. Unique children, more prone to obesity

New research ensures that people who are only children are more likely to be obese. The study examined the eating habits and body weight of single children and found that their eating habits were less healthy than those of families with several children. Other studies have found that not having siblings or being the last child to be born is also related to obesity, possibly due to the way parents behaved during meals: less pleas, more association with food as a reward and more control Negative about food choices.

5. Another security flaw on Facebook

The social network confirmed that at least 100 application developers could have accessed private user data for months through the group function. From that figure it was confirmed that 11 had access in the last 60 days to data such as name and profile picture, but Facebook refused to tell CNN how many people could be affected.
