Child seriously injured by playground equipment at McDonough park
Parents who take their kids to a popular McDonough park want to know how a child managed to get seriously injured playing inside a structure. The city has since removed the equipment and is investigating. Channel 2's Tom Jones spoke to a parent who said she didn't let her kids play in the structure, because she didn't think it was safe. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] 'I'm like, this is why I don't let y'all go. Because that can happen,' E. Faye Lloyd said. That's what she told her kids after she learned a child was seriously injured in a playhouse at Hope Park. She says she made her kids get out of it recently because it didn't feel safe. 'You close the door, and I felt like my kids disappeared, so I was like y'all not going in there. Get out of there,' she said. Someone from the Facebook group McDonough Moms posted a picture of the playhouse wrapped in caution tape after the incident. McDonough Mayor Sandra Vincent posted on social media a child was injured in a serious incident inside a structure at the park. Vincent said staff immediately removed it.

'Nothing you would ever expect going to a playground,' parent Kristi Ray said. She brought here son to the park to play. 'The hope is that any equipment that's put out is done with some thought and forethought,' she said. The mayor did not release details on the severity of the child's injuries or explain how it happened. She did release a statement that says, 'Our hearts are with the child and their family. And we have reached out privately to offer support during this incredibly difficult time.' 'It's insane. Insane,' Lloyd said, reacting to the incident. She is happy the city removed the structure but wants more information about this incident. 'I wish they were a little more transparent about what happened and how the child got hurt, so we could know and maybe prevent it for next time,' she said. The city says the structure was donated. The city of Stockbridge says Habitat for Humanity also donated one to them. Stockbridge officials say they have taken the door off to prevent a child's finger from getting stuck in the space where the hinges are. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Gwinnett man charged with posing as mortgage broker in $152,000 scheme
A 55-year-old Gwinnett County man was arrested Monday night for allegedly posing as a mortgage broker to swindle at least five victims across multiple states out of more than $152,000. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Angelo Robert Moe was booked into Gwinnett County Jail on felony theft charges after police say he convinced victims to wire money for real estate transactions that never panned out. Court documents allege Moe collected fees from victims between 2022 and 2024, promising to secure loans for properties through Hienz Incorporated. Police say he used an inactive mortgage license number and often directed victims to wire money to his personal Navy Federal account instead of company accounts. The alleged scheme unraveled when victims discovered their real estate deals had fallen through and they allege Moe refused to return their money. One victim, Latoya Skinners, said she lost $8,000 after Moe promised to secure a loan for a house. She shared one wire transfer that shows a $7,000 transfer into his personal account in September 2023. 'He said, you're not getting any money back,' Skinners told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson. 'He did that to almost everybody, strong-arming them, telling them he's not giving money back because those were his fees.'

A fifth victim said she lost $25,000 in a separate Snellville Police case. Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Juan Madiedo says Moe used an inactive Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) number. He warned potential victims to verify license numbers and avoid large upfront payments. 'Be worried when someone's asking for large sums of money up front and are avoiding using company emails,' Madiedo said. Police believe additional victims may exist and encourage anyone who conducted business with Moe to file a police report if they've been victimized. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
