- Mom fails to meet deadline to bring missing kids to Idaho

A
mother and her new husband lied to the police about where their children were
after the mothers ex-husband was murdered by her brother and the new husbands
ex-wife died of natural causes. These two children have been missing since September
of 2019 and the mother still has not told the police where they are located.

problem is that the police do not know where these children are because the
mother is lying to them about their whereabouts.

· Landlords of older
buildings have not installed sprinkler systems in their buildings. A fire broke
out in one of these buildings and destroyed many apartments as there was no
sprinkler system to stop it. Tenants are demanding to have sprinkler systems
set up in their building and are filing a class-action lawsuit against the
landlord.
· The problem is that
landlords aren’t spending much on maintenance of older buildings, including sprinkler
systems.
· The tenants of the
apartments of older buildings have this problem.
3. Florida Legislature going to the dogs (and cats)

Florida lawmakers are creating bills to protect
shelter and rescued pets. They are putting these pets alongside manatees,
alligators, and the Florida panther as protected animals.

animals are being treated like objects and not living and breathing mammals.
·
The animals and the people that own the shelters
have this problem.

invest in the state.

rate is at a record low.

travelling to China since the World Health Organization has declared there to be
an outbreak of the corona virus in China. There has been more than 213 deaths
in China alone.

The problem is that people cannot travel to
China because of the outbreak and can risk getting a deadly disease.
·
The people of the US and China have this
problem
Hi Erika, while unemployment is usually a very bad thing this can be an opportunity for employers to hire more people at a cheap wage. I think the story about the LA fires is interesting too. California is in a drought, this gives the opportunity for someone to develop an efficient system to get them out of this problem.
ReplyDeleteHey Erika,
ReplyDeletethe article about the children and their dead father shocked me It's so horrible that things like that happen in this world, and the children won’t be able to grow up normal Every time I read something like that, I'm thankful for the way I grew up. Often times we forget how good our life is. I hope the things that happened won’t affect the upbringing of the children.
