New apartments for domestic abuse survivors taking shape in Springfield

Image
Springfield, MO A new apartment complex will provide a way for people to rebuild their lives following domestic violence situations . Named "Talia," the community on South Scenic near Grand Street isn 't just another new housing complex . Half the units will be for women (and their children) escaping violent home situations . "Unfortunately, a lot of them don't make it long term because the options are not all that great," said Lisa Farmer, Director of Harmony House. "It is the first project I think in the state of Missouri that is specifically dedicated to domestic violence survivors ," said Bruce Adib-Yazdi of Vecino Group, which is the partnering developer on the project. Farmer explained, "One of the problems we have is finding affordable, accessible permanent housing for our residents when they are ready to leave the shelter. So, this will help in that regard." "What we are providing here is a permanent suppor...

Home Visits Help New Parents Overcome Tough Histories, Raise Healthy Children

Image
EL CENTRO, Calif. — Seated at a kitchen table in a cramped apartment, Rosendo Gil asked the young parents sitting across from him what they should do if their daughter caught a cold. Blas Lopez, 29, and his fiancée, Lluvia Padilla, 28, quickly answered: Check her temperature and call the doctor if she has a fever they can’t control. “I’m very proud of both of you knowing what to do,” Gil said, as 3-year-old Leilanie Lopez played with a pretend kitchen nearby . Padilla recalled that when Leilanie was born, they would not have known the answer. “We were asking question after question after question,” she said. Gil, a family support worker with the Imperial County Home Visiting Program , has visited the family dozens of times since Leilanie’s birth. Each time, Gil teaches them a little more about child development and helps them cope with the stresses of work, school, relationships and parenting. This story also ran on NPR.

Woman shot in the head at University Trails apartment in Oxford

OXFORD, Miss. — A 28-year-old Oxford man is facing serious charges after his girlfriend was shot in the head overnight. D'Marius Madkins was taken into custody around 12:30 a.m. after officers learned a woman had been shot at the University Trails apartment complex . When first responders arrived, the victim, Alisha Smith, 23, was sitting on the balcony and was able to speak with paramedics before she was flown to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. Police believe the two may have been drinking. She is listed in critical condition, but police say they've been in contact with Smith's mother to monitor how she's doing. Authorities said they recovered the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting at the apartment. Madkins was charged with domestic violence-aggravated assault after he admitted to the shooting. His charges could be upgraded. Police said there were no previous reported incidents of domestic violence between the pair. Earlier this month, Oxford p...

Deputies seek suspects who crashed stolen car

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Police say a stabbing and hostage situation in Kalamazoo Tuesday morning was a case of domestic violence. Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas told 24 Hour News 8 the male suspect broke into a unit at Canterbury House Apartments where a woman he was separated from was living with her two kids. The apartment complex is located in the 600 block of Dragonfly Road south of Main Street and US-131 in Kalamazoo. Police said the suspect stabbed a man inside the apartment. The woman and her two small children were able to escape to a neighbor’s apartment, but the suspect broke in through a window.

On the Zeke Elliott Suspension: Even a Liar Can Be Beaten and Choked

Image
Tiffany Thompson put herself out there. In a pink bra, black pencil skirt , and black pumps, her hair pulled back in a tight bun, a black choker tied around her neck, she stands in front of a wrought-iron fence on a sidewalk at night. Presumably it is in front of the Short North Carriage House , a vacation rental that Ezekiel Elliott’s father had rented for his 21st birthday in Columbus, Ohio’s equivalent of Uptown. She stands, expressionless, for a series of police photographs of her bruises — on her arms and wrists. There are several shots of her hands, but those don’t appear to be injured in the photos. In the police report there is a diagram, essentially a pencil drawing of a female figure where injuries can be marked. Ten areas are circled and marked with a “V” for “Visible Bruise, Mark or Injury,” from her neck to her knees. Like everyone else, I had been reading snippets about the allegations of domestic violence against the Dallas Cowboys’ star running back in news reports ...

The Real Threat to America Comes From Americans

This month, a man was arrested in Oklahoma City for trying to detonate 1,000 pounds of explosives in a cargo van parked downtown . The attack, he hoped, would cripple the government and start a revolution. Last October, three men were arrested in Kansas for plotting to bomb an apartment complex and a mosque using four cars laden with explosives. In these febrile days, where terrorists have sought to wreak fear and chaos from Orlando to Paris, and now Barcelona, you’d expect wall-to-wall coverage on cable news about these foiled plots. Terrorism experts would be wheeled out to opine for hours on all angles, from the explosives used to the profile of the would-be attackers to how and why they were radicalized. Instead, the two incidents got barely any coverage — some brief news spots here and there and a few mentions online. Ask any Arab-American or Muslim in America why those incidents weren’t covered ad nauseam and they’ ll reply deadpan : because the would-be attackers were white. So...

The only remains of the birth of "Baby Willow" were washed away from an apartment complex parking lot Tuesday morning as distraught neighbors looked on. A day earlier Orlando police responded around 3 p.m. to Willow Bend Apartments after someone reported seeing a possible placenta in the parking lot. Homicide and crime- scene investigators determined "that a full term baby had been born and discarded," police said. Officers found the mother, 30-year-old Susan Richardson, on Monday but no baby. She only admitted to giving birth to the girl, according to police. Richardson was taken to the Orange County Jail on an aggravated child neglect charge Tuesday afternoon , police say. Police conducted an extensive search of the complex in the 4700 block of Silver Star Road near Evans High School — including inside Dumpsters and trash cans — with cadaver dogs and 14 trained searchers from the nonprofit support group Search and Rescue of Central Florida but came up emp...

My Story: Former councilman on road to recovery | News

HUNTINGTON — For someone deep in the throes of an addiction to heroin or opioids, it's not that uncommon to end up in the news. What is uncommon is fighting that battle while already being a public figure, which means headlines a regular person might not get. Bernard Slater Jr ., resigned from Charleston City Council in April after a string of bad headlines that followed the length of his career as a public servant. "You go from being elected to city council to digging in people's dumpsters," Slater said. "That was my rock bottom right there. I had hit bottom long ago , but I didn't know rock bottom had a basement. After that, I didn't think nothing of it at the time until I sobered up and saw the headlines." Slater's first memories of drugs and alcohol are of getting beer for his uncles out of the refrigerator as they played poker. They would let him take the first drink. Then, at age 5, while at the beach, his uncles – teenagers at the time – ...
