Woman files lawsuit after mistaken identity leads to arrest
SUMMARY: Jennifer Heath Box, a Texas woman, was wrongfully arrested after returning from a cruise in Fort Lauderdale in December 2022 due to a mistaken identity issue involving a warrant from Harris County, Texas. Her driver’s license photo was linked to the warrant, but she had no other matching information. Box was detained for three days, missing Christmas and her son’s deployment. She is now suing the Broward Sheriff’s Office for the emotional distress caused. BSO stated that the warrant triggered her arrest but found no employee misconduct in the investigation. Box vows never to return to Fort Lauderdale.

When your child is most vulnerable to attempted stranger abductions
SUMMARY: As children head back to school, safety during commutes is crucial.

Abductions usually happen publicly while kids walk, play, or bike. Suspects are mostly men (93%), often driving cars. Warning signs include strangers asking questions (23%) or offering rides (22%).

Could you get a $600 check next year under Donald Trump? Here’s what to know
SUMMARY: A new bill called the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 was introduced in the U.S. Senate to give tax rebates to working Americans using revenue from tariffs on foreign goods. Single taxpayers could receive at least $600, with higher amounts for married couples and families with children, up to $2,400. The rebate could increase if tariff revenue exceeds projections, which may reach $150 billion in 2025. Benefits phase out for higher incomes. Senator Josh Hawley introduced the bill, citing tariff revenues and echoing former President Trump’s support for rebate checks to aid American workers.

Camp Dolphins: Fins haven't been able to escape harsh realities of football
SUMMARY: The Miami Dolphins faced tough setbacks early in camp, losing starting cornerback Kater Kohou for the season due to a knee injury sustained during one-on-one drills.
