| Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:39 AM PDT ![]() LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio -- The "largest ever" back-to-school clothing distribution in Lorain County will be taking place in September. The project is the result of a partnership among the Lorain County commissioners, the county's Department of Job & Family Services and the Lorain County branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio (BGCNEO). Approximately 3,200 children throughout Lorain County will receive the back-to-school clothing, said Mike Conibear, regional director of BGCNEO. "We are so fortunate in Lorain County to have the full support of our commissioners and Job & Family Services in expanding this clothing program so that we can serve the kids that need us most," he said. Beginning Sept. 11, large bags of clothing will be distributed to those who ordered them. "This is the fifth year for the program," said Conibear. "Families could choose from a uniform, play or combination package. Depending on the family's selection, the child will receive a book bag, gym shoes, 3-in-1 coat, khakis or joggers, polos or T-shirts, hoodie sweatshirt, socks and hats." Boys & Girls Club staff members are now packing the bags at the Desich Family Campus in Lorain. Distribution will take place on five dates at two club sites -- the Desich Family Campus, 4111 Pearl Ave., Lorain, and the Elyria South Community Center, 1821 Middle Ave., Elyria. The dates include: · Sept. 11 (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) · Sept. 12 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) · Sept. 18 (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) · Sept. 19 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) · Sept. 21 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Families will be told which site they should go to, Conibear noted. "With all of the uncertainty associated with employment and reopening schools this fall, we are pleased that we are able to do a little bit to relieve parents' anxiety. Although this is our fifth year doing the clothing program, this year the program seems more crucial than ever," he said. "This is the largest clothing distribution undertaken by the clubs during the five years the program has existed," he said. Last year, the clubs distributed 847 bags of clothing.

| Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:05 PM PDT ![]() The director of a local organization that helps find children said that, if it weren't for fast-acting local agencies, this story could have ended very differently. CHAMBLEE, Ga. — New details are being released about a baby boy who was kidnapped at gunpoint - ripped out of his stroller - during a walk with his mother. The two suspects were arrested several miles away. 11Alive has since learned how the suspects even tried to disguise the baby as a girl. More than 60 miles away from Chamblee - in Carrollton - is where police arrested Maynor Dario Valera Zuniga and Kristin Nicole Valera Zuniga. They're accused of kidnapping 1-year-old Mateo Montufar-Barrera by holding his mother at gunpoint in front of their home and then ripping him from his stroller. Police said Mateo's mother did everything she could to fight off the one suspect ripping his clothes and taking one of his shoes. She even grabbed his gun. This happened Saturday around noon. By the evening, officers found Mateo unharmed with the two people who were arrested. Since those frantic moments, police have confirmed that the couple even changed the boy into a dress in an attempt to disguise him. Police still haven't released any information about the duo's motive, but the child's mother said she didn't know them. Sarah Koepper is the executive director of local non-profit The Hope Box which helps rescue children in need. She said, oftentimes, cases like this don't have a positive ending. "Often the children aren't found as fast; so, we're so grateful for the authorities in Georgia for moving as quickly as they did," she said. Koepper and her organization, specializing in ages three and under, have worked with law enforcement around the state to help children. "Seventy-five percent of our most at-risk children are ages three and under," she said. "About 50 percent of those are zero to one, so you're talking infants are the most at risk for abandonment, neglect, and abuse." Koepper said every kidnapping situation she's seen is different, but she urged parents, when out with their kids, to be aware of their surroundings. And she tells others not to be afraid to help. "If you see something, say something," she said. Both suspects in the kidnapping are at the DeKalb County Jail, now. Chamblee Police are expected to provide more information about the case at a press conference on Monday afternoon. |
