Woman charged after boy in state’s custody dies in hot car
SUMMARY: A 3-year-old boy named Ke’Torrius “KJ” Starkes Jr., in Alabama Department of Human Resources custody, died after being left alone for about five hours in a parked, locked car in Birmingham. Kela Stanford, a former DHR contractor responsible for transporting the child, was charged with leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle, creating an unreasonable risk of harm. The child was supposed to be returned to daycare after a supervised visit with his father but was left in the car while Stanford ran errands. Stanford was booked and released on bond; conviction could bring 2–20 years in prison.

Does Lunchly make a healthy lunch kit?
SUMMARY: Lunchly markets itself as a healthier alternative to Lunchables, endorsed by influencers, with lower calories, fat, and sugar. However, Consumer Reports found Lunchly kits similarly processed, containing sugar substitutes and high sodium levels. Tests revealed concerning lead levels, especially from the included chocolate bar, which could be reduced by skipping the candy, though kids are likely to eat it. Nutrition experts caution against daily consumption due to processed meats and additives. While Lunchly complies with safety laws, experts recommend homemade lunch kits with whole foods for better nutrition, fewer additives, and lower sodium — a healthier, cheaper option for busy parents.
Move over Lunchables — a competitor called Lunchly advertises a healthier spin on your kid’s favorite lunch kit. But how healthy are Lunchly lunches?
