Missing Ohio Boy Sparks Investigation and Search

A 6-year-old boy named Joshua Al-Lateef Jr. with autism went missing in West Chester, Ohio, prompting an Endangered Child Advisory as authorities began extensive searches, including K9 units and divers near local bodies of water. Meanwhile, a Chicago mother, Shaneka Crain, is fighting for justice after her son Karter reported abuse by classmates and teachers at Robert Nathaniel Dett Elementary, including physical assaults and emotional distress, with no notification from the school regarding incidents. In Cincinnati, Shelby Smith is seeking answers in the unsolved murder of her son Trevyn, whose body was discovered two weeks after he went missing in 2019, while she received ransom calls during that time. Additionally, Heather Fountain is advocating for clarity surrounding her son Taylor Hunt's death in a Georgia prison, which was ruled a suicide, as she raises concerns over prior attacks he faced and the lack of communication from prison officials. These mothers' stories highlight urgent issues surrounding child safety, justice, and the need for accountability in schools and correctional facilities.
