Child at daycare eats kratom, needs to be revived, police say
A former preschool employee in Mableton has been charged with child cruelty after a 2-year-old was found unresponsive and revived with Narcan. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] An arrest warrant has been issued for a former preschool employee who is charged with cruelty to children. According to the warrant, Kennesha Floy is accusing of leaving 7tabz on a shelf that a 2-year-old ingested. Police said the child was unresponsive before Narcan was administered by paramedics. The incident allegedly happened on Aug. 8. Investigators said Floyd admitted to leaving the tablets on a shelf at Bright Minds Learning and Childcare Center. According to the warrant, 7tabz contains 7-Hydroxymitragynine, with compounds from Kratom. Police said the tablets were left in a room with multiple children. Officials did not provide an update on the child's condition. Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell stopped by the preschool and received a statement from the school, saying the health and safety of the children is of the utmost importance. 'A wrapper from a purchased energy tablet fell on the floor in a classroom and a child picked it up,' they said. 'The teacher in the class retrieved it right away, but the child had put a piece of the wrapper in their mouth. It has been determined that the product caused a severe reaction for the child.' The daycare's spokesperson said they are cooperating with law enforcement officials during the investigation. 'The product that appears to have caused the reaction was not purchased by the school and the school was not aware of the product being in the school,' they said. 'We have reviewed and updated our policies to prevent any similar incidents in the future. The staff member is no longer employed at Bright Minds.' A man who works across the street from the preschool said he was shocked to see police outside of the building. 'I saw a lot of law enforcement cars here on that day. They stayed here all day. I thought that was very unusual. This is one of the best daycares here in the city of Mableton for many years. This daycare has always supported the community a lot of kids go there,' Anthony Guillory said. The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning told Channel 2 it is currently investigating allegations concerning the health and safety environment at the daycare. In a statement regarding the alleged incident DECAL said: 'The Department is looking closely into reports of indoor storage hazards, as well as concerns regarding a lack of adequate supervision and vigilant oversight at the facility. DECAL's foremost priority is the safety and well-being of Georgia's children. The Department will conduct a thorough review of the center's practices, policies, and physical environment to determine the circumstances surrounding this incident and to ensure all licensing requirements are being met. Pending the investigation, DECAL is working closely with all relevant parties to address the situation promptly and transparently. The Department will implement corrective actions as needed to ensure the safety and security of all children in care at Bright Minds Learning and Childcare Center. No further information will be provided at this time, as the investigation is ongoing. DECAL remains committed to upholding the highest standards of child care in the State of Georgia and will provide updates as appropriate upon the conclusion of the investigative process. The incident was self-reported by Bright Minds Learning and Childcare Center,' said DECAL Chief Communications Officer Reg Griffin.

Georgia is one of the worst places to age in place, study says
A study suggests that Georgia is one of the least desirable states to age in place. The population of those 65 and older keeps growing, and the vast majority of them want to stay in their homes rather than retire in assisted living or retirement communities. Seniorly, a provider of an online senior living directory and other resources, studied data in 10 categories to compare all 50 states and the District of Columbia. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] These categories include seniors' risk of isolation, home health care quality, home health aide availability, emergency care timeliness, smart home adoption, housing costs, road safety, local walkability, food delivery access and weather hazards. The best states supported seniors in their desire to stay put, making it easier to get around, stay healthy and feel supported. According to Seniorly, Georgia is not one of those states. The Peach State ranked no. 48, behind Alabama and ahead of North Carolina. Kentucky ranks second to last. Georgia struggles with meal delivery for seniors, 'providing services to only 957 per 100,000 older adults under the Older Americans Act,' Seniorly said. Here's how Georgia ranked in various aspects of senior care, according to Seniorly: Seniors who live alone: 40.5% (Rank: 11) Home health agencies with a 4.5 or 5-star rating: 17.5% (Rank: 16) Seniors per home health or personal care aide: 37 (Rank: 46) Median wait time between ER arrival and departure: 161 minutes (Rank: 33 (tie)) Population who interact with household equipment via the internet: 25.7% (Rank: 27) Homeowners ages 65+ who spend more than 30% of their income on housing: 25.1% (Rank: 29) Seniors involved in fatal car crashes: 20.7 per 100,000 drivers (Rank: 38) Average walk score across the largest cities: 26 (Rank: 43 (tie)) Home-delivered meals via Older Americans Act Title 3: 957 per 100,000 seniors (Rank: 50) Average annual precipitation: 49.9 inches (Rank: 41) Florida, despite its sizable retirement community, ranks last in the study primarily because of its limited availability of home health aides, how much of their salaries seniors spend on housing and weather hazards. Ranking first for aging in place is Utah. Seniorly said seniors there face the lowest risks of social isolation and among the lowest risks of precipitation. Utah seniors also lead the nation in the use of smart home technology, devices that Seniorly suggests can help older adults stay independent longer. The other states in the top five are North Dakota, New Jersey, Idaho and Texas. Seniorly also said that no state is perfect, with some vast differences in the state between different aspects of senior care. For instance, Mississippi ranks 45 for aging in place, but ranks third for quality of home health agencies. A record 4.2 million Americans will turn 65 this year, and according to the latest AARP survey, 75% of older Americans say they want to remain in their homes and communities as they get older, rather than move to assisted living or retirement facilities.
