NYC mom and son, 20, busted while trying to flee the US following street racing crash that left 1 dead: prosecutors
Alvi Limani and his mother Vilma Vneshta, 42, couldn't outrun the law even after they trekked down to Miami to escape an aggravated manslaughter charge against Limani, who prosecutors said totaled his BMW X3 on the Garden State Parkway on June 29.

Limani and another driver behind the wheel of a BMW M5 were recklessly burning rubber southbound when Limani's ride hit two other vehicles and rolled over multiple times around 7 p.m., the Middlesex County Prosecutors' Office said.
Two passengers with Limani were thrown from the SUV, including Albion Hysenaj, 20, of Staten Island, who was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and pronounced dead, officials said.
The other occupant suffered serious injuries but survived.
Limani and another passenger, 19-year-old Emily Harrington, of Staten Island, fled the scene on foot, prosecutors said.
4 The mother and son were hauled back to New Jersey last week.

Limani and Vneshta, who looks young enough to be his sister, allegedly fled to Miami in an attempt to leave the US, but were captured by law enforcement near Miami on July 17, the prosecutor's office said.
It's unclear exactly where they were arrested.
The mom and son were held in Florida for three weeks before they were extradited last Wednesday to New Jersey, with TikTok footage purportedly showing the pair being led off a plane in handcuffs and leg shackles at a tristate area airport.

Boston students discuss Massachusetts bill that would ban cellphones in school
Currently, Boston Public Schools' policy allows students to bring their cellphones to school as long as they are not visible during class time. Students are only allowed to use phones before or after school hours. Some schools in the district, such as Irving Middle School in Roslindale, Advertisement A Yondr pouch is a small bag that can only be unlocked using a special magnet that would be controlled by a school official. At least four BPS high schools, including English High School, started using Yondr pouches to restrict phone usage last year. Advertisement Ladan Mohamed, 15, a rising sophomore at Boston Latin School and a member of the Boston Student Advisory Council, opposes BPS spending money on Yondr pouches. Boston Latin School hasn't implemented them yet and has an honor system where students are not required to turn in their phones, but many classrooms have organizers where students can store their phones, so they don't get distracted during class. Mohamed also said the district needs to get better at contacting parents during emergencies, before enacting a cellphone ban. 'Let's say somebody ... breaks into the building, students and parents don't find out until after the fact,' Mohamed said, 'If students don't have their phones, the city and BPS need an emergency contact system. Right now, students are using social media as a positive tool.' Caitlin Murphy, head of school for The English High School, said that using Yondr pouches has been successful in encouraging healthy social interaction during lunch and made it easier for administrators to provide students with mental health support, since they aren't worried about student interactions on social media during the school day. 'The support team was constantly running to put out fires that were being started by social media that were causing incidents during the school day instead of actually doing responsive work. We're able to sort of proactively plan stress and anxiety groups,' Murphy said. Advertisement Murphy also said that The English High School was focused on helping students reach out to their parents if needed. 'I've been very clear with our main office staff and with anyone who ... has a phone in their office, that if a caregiver calls, then we drop what we're doing and we're getting to that student,' Murphy said. Laura Lara Santos, 16, a student at Fenway High School, where Yondr pouches have been implemented, is supportive of a 'bell-to-bell' policy where cellphones are banned throughout the school day, based on her own positive experiences in a phone-free school. 'It was reflected in my grades. The teachers actually told me that they saw a big change,' Lara Santos said in Spanish through an interpreter, 'and it helped during lunchtime too because we had real connections. We were not just talking about what had happened on TikTok.' Lara Santos is a member of Sociedad Latina, a Roxbury nonprofit that supports Latino youth with education, workforce development and other after-school programming. Alexandra Oliver-Dávila, executive director of the nonprofit, who spoke with her at the hearing, advocated for implementing a uniform bell-to-bell cellphone restriction policy across BPS at the hearing, to make education equitable for all students, irrespective of zip code. 'What I could foresee happening is there's going to be certain schools that are thought of as needing discipline that need to use the Yondr pouch,' Oliver-Dávila said, 'And we're going to come back down to the divide of the exam schools versus open enrollment schools.' Most of the students at the hearing testified against cellphone restrictions, saying that a ban would not help teenagers develop self-control when it comes to technology. Munira Saeed, 15, a student at the Boston Latin Academy, said that a cellphone ban would merely delay the challenge of teenagers learning how to use cellphones in a healthy manner, rather than solving the issue. Advertisement 'Trust and responsibility goes both ways. Give us the structure, the support and the chance to show that we can use our tools responsibly,' Saeed said. David Bickham, research director at the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, said that based on a 'If the school clearly communicates the goals of the policy to the students, it doesn't matter how strict it is, the kids [in the survey] said that this policy increased their sense of independence ... so the details of the policy were less important,' he said.

D.C. residents flood social media to counter Trump's crime claims
A new TikTok trend is taking off in D.C. following President Trump's federal takeover, with locals posting their "love letters" to the District. Why it matters: Crime in D.C. has become a national talking point, and some residents are trying to flip the script. The big picture: Trump earlier this week said the District has "been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people" — a depiction some locals disagree with. Meanwhile, violent crime is declining in D.C., as are homicides — although the latter is still higher than it was a decade ago. State of play: TikTokers are sharing images of what they love about the city over background audio of Trump's claims that D.C. is teeming with crime. Some X users began posting lists of "Things I'm Actually Scared of as a D.C. Resident," sharing tongue-in-cheek answers like " Exiting Northwest Stadium," " Whitlows" and " middle school tour groups." Meanwhile, some residents made their opinions known offline via protests against Trump's takeover.

Don't snoop through your partner's phone. Learn to sleuth instead
Put yourself in Emma's shoes: You're scrolling on your phone and get a text notification that says, 'Hey girly, your boyfriend said you guys would have a threesome with me, and I think he didn't tell you about that.' Would you (a) ignore the message or (b) look through his conveniently unattended phone? If you chose (b), don't feel too bad. Nearly 30% of American adults say it's at least sometimes acceptable to look through a significant other's phone without permission, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 'I have looked through many of my partners' phones, and I definitely have quite a few stories,' said Emma, who didn't want to include her last name to protect her privacy. An age-old debate surrounding phone snooping has been revived by the July breakup between JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, stars of the 2024 season of the reality dating show 'Love Island USA.' 'Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating,' Craig wrote in an Instagram story post confirming the split. Craig's friend then took to Instagram to advise other women in relationships to 'go thru your mans phone TODAY' if they had access. (Craig and Rodriguez haven't confirmed the more specific details of their breakup.) Searching through someone's phone may not be aligned with a person's character and values, but they might have valid suspicions and no other way find the truth — so they look. Doing so may turn out to be fair game when you learn incriminating information, according to divorce lawyer Dennis R. Vetrano, who is also a mediator and content creator based in New York's Hudson Valley. Not so much to this psychologist. 'In general, I think that invading another person's private space — whether it's snooping on their phone, reading their personal journal, or invading their physical space — is unethical without their permission,' said Dr. Cortney Warren, board certified clinical psychologist and adjunct clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Snooping also can be illegal, depending on privacy laws in your state or other jurisdiction, so it's not advised that you go through your partner's phone, according to Vetrano. But is such snooping even necessary anymore? With so much out in the public sphere online, do you really need to snoop? Why not replace snooping with sleuthing? Do you need to look through a partner's phone? The easy answer is no. While snooping is considered a breach of privacy because you're searching for information someone hasn't given you permission to access, with sleuthing you're working with information that's available in an online public space. And so many people are online: Seventy percent of American adults are on Facebook, 50% on Instagram, and 33% on TikTok, according to a 2024 survey. Sleuthing is easier these days with the creation of websites that can locate dating profiles, apps that track location, and most notably, social media platforms that allow you to see everyone who a person follows and the content they like. It's all there for anyone to mine. That was the case with Emma. 'I had already been kind of suspicious of this boyfriend for a while,' Emma said. 'So I was sleuthing through (his) TikTok following, and it was just girl after girl after girl of those OnlyFans models and anime cosplayers that, you know, cosplay minor characters in very inappropriate ways.' Is sleuthing OK to do? 'Technology is out there to track everything that you do, so I think the question — is it the right thing to do — is really something that we have to center on,' said Dr. Angela Corbo, a professor and chair of the department of communication studies at Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania. As far as Emma was concerned, going through her previous partners' social media followings was justified because she was accessing public information and she ended up finding evidence of behavior she didn't like. 'I had been very straight up with my partners, and I don't like (them) following OnlyFans models because honestly, it was kind of embarrassing when everybody can see that your partner is liking photos and sharing weird adult content videos publicly,' she said. When it comes to social media, people can formulate an image of what another person is like based on who they follow and the content with which they interact. 'I think social media is a great way of getting an idea without waiting for someone to show you, or without having to break someone's boundaries and invade their privacy,' said Diana Prime, a relationship coach on Instagram and TikTok. 'If someone has adult-rated content, if they're following OnlyFans models, that is enough to not continue a relationship with that person because it gives you an insight to what they do.' Is snooping through someone's phone still wrong? Yes, Warren said. Snooping is also a sign of other troubles, such as not respecting your partner, Prime said. In that case, you're 'not going to think twice about invading their privacy.' Generally, sleuthing 'is different in the sense that the material online is often public — so the deceptive element of violating a partner's personal boundaries is less pronounced,' said Warren, author of 'Letting Go of Your Ex: CBT Skills to Heal the Pain of a Breakup and Overcome Love Addiction.' Think of it like this: Say you're sitting beside a partner and happen to glimpse a notification on their phone. 'You've done nothing wrong,' Corbo said. 'I think it's when you go behind somebody's back to retrieve information that they're not giving you permission for — I think that's when a violation has occurred.' You're already in breakup territory if you're feeling like your partner's behavior leaves you no other option but to snoop. 'That's a deeper-rooted problem that will lead to bigger issues down the road, and that's enough to walk away from someone, because what happens when you find information by snooping is that you hurt your own feelings times 10,' she said. 'It will do you more damage to snoop through that person's phone than to honor your own intuition about something being off,' Prime added. 'What within you wants to play things out, versus just trusting yourself the first time?' If your ex-partners have treated you badly and you're regularly suspicious of a partner who hasn't given you a reason to be, Corbo suggested evaluating your feelings and considering the evidence before you assume the worst.
