Letter: Oakland must enforce all of its traffic laws
By Letters To The Editor | PUBLISHED: November 9, 2018 at 9:06 am | UPDATED: November 9, 2018 at 9:13 am Oakland must enforce all of its traffic laws Re: “Oakland sidewalks unsafe, with scooters, bikes, etc.” I agree completely with Nayvin Gordon’s letter to the East Bay Times on Nov. 7. It is emphatically dangerous and meaningless for Oakland to not fully and consistently enforce all traffic laws. Get scooters and bicycles off sidewalks. Enforce riders to stay in bike lanes traveling with direction of motorized traffic and wearing gear for visibility day and night. I’m sick of nearly hitting others who illegally travel and put my and their life in danger. At a very base level, there’s money to be made holding scofflaws accountable! More important, a law is not fully a law without consistent enforcement. Oakland needs do better.

Michigan Seeks Changes to Abuse Reporting Law After Nassar
Michigan is looking to shore up its law that requires certain people to report suspected child sexual abuse to authorities to address gaps that were exposed after disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar admitted to sexually assaulting female athletes. Nassar's victims are spearheading the initiative, saying he could have been stopped decades ago if coaches, athletic trainers or others at Michigan State University had listened to them. More than 250 women and girls have said the now-imprisoned Nassar molested them with his ungloved hands under the guise of medical treatment. No one has faced charges yet for not reporting the abuse, but multiple investigations are underway into Michigan State's handling of complaints. Like all other states, Michigan requires health providers, psychologists, teachers, police, clergy and others to report suspected child abuse or neglect to authorities. A bill up for approval by the state Senate would add college employees and youth sports coaches, … [Read more...] about Michigan Seeks Changes to Abuse Reporting Law After Nassar
Woman ‘burned disabled mother-in-law to death in bath of scalding water leaving her to die in agony after row’
A RUSSIAN woman faces up to 15 years in jail after being charged with burning her mother-in-law to death in a bath of scalding water. The unnamed mum-of-three, 39, has been accused of heaving the physically impaired woman into the bath, and turning on just the hot tap. To ensure her mother-in-law couldn't escape, she allegedly then locked the bathroom door from the outside. Her death followed an argument between the 73-year-woman and her daughter-in-law, who was her carer. A spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, said: “The grandmother was screaming from pain and begging for help. "But due to a disability was unable to lift herself out of the bath." He added: “Her grandchildren heard her cries but could not help because they were too little. “Some time later, the daughter-in-law stopped [the] hot water and dragged the older woman out of the bath.” More than 50 per cent of her body was covered in severe burns, it was alleged. … [Read more...] about Woman ‘burned disabled mother-in-law to death in bath of scalding water leaving her to die in agony after row’
