Mum's grief after 2yo son died in car crash
A popular mum influencer has spoken out after her two-year-old son died in a single car crash. Katelynn and Jaelen Ordone's son Preston died in a car accident on April 24. The couple are known due to their Okay Baby TikTok account. Police claimed the car the two-year-old was in — a 2011 Ford F-150 — 'veered off the roadway to the right and struck a tree' in Louisiana, People reported. The toddler was taken to hospital, where he died from blunt force injuries. The couple's older child — Paisley — was not in the car at the time. Preston's death was ruled an accident but the reasons behind it were still being investigated, according to US Weekly. Now, Katelynn has come out to update her fans on what happened to her family. 'For those of you who don't know, my husband and I suffered severe concussions and have no memory of the accident,' she said. 'There has been a lot of misinformation out there and we want to share the most accurate information we have at this time.' She said the couple hired an independent accident reconstruction expert to review what happened. The car was driving at 112km an hour before decelerating and making a right turn before it hit the tree, according to the car's black box. The family hit the tree at 96km an hour. She said Preston was properly secured in a two-piece 360-degree car seat behind the front passenger seat. He was fully restrained during the accident, and he was taken out of the car still in the seat. She claimed it took emergency services 15 minutes to get there — and the entire time Preston was in his car seat. 'The report confirms that the care seat base was properly installed and belted in. However, there appears to have been an issue with how the seat attached to the base; the locking pins were stuck in the engaged position, which may have prevented the seat from fully securing to the base,' she said, claiming others have reported the same issue. The cause of the accident is alleged to be a medical emergency, Katelynn said. 'We deeply appreciate the continued prayers and support as we navigate this unbearable tragedy,' she said. 'We are grateful for the continued prayers. Our only source of strength right now is our faith and the hope we have in God. We can't imagine walking through this without the assurance of eternal life and the peace that comes from knowing the truth.'

Who Is Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts? Louisiana judge faces growing calls for removal over misconduct allegations
Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts, a sitting judge in Louisiana, is facing potential removal from office following a series of serious allegations and courtroom concerns that have drawn attention from legal authorities and the wider public alike, as reported by The Independent. Also read: Diddy trial: Full list of allegations and charges against the rapper The judge in question, serving on the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge, has been under investigation for multiple ethical violations and professional misconduct. Among the concerns raised are misleading statements allegedly made during an election campaign, where personal and professional qualifications may have been exaggerated. The matter escalated into formal proceedings, with judicial authorities reviewing documentation and testimony about the discrepancies, as reported by WAFB9. In addition to questions surrounding past representations, the judge has also come under fire for issues within her courtroom. Legal observers have noted rising concern over how cases have been managed, particularly those involving defendants without consistent legal representation. It was revealed that public defenders were frequently reassigned or replaced, leading to case delays and potential due process concerns, as reported by The Independent. There were even instances where attorneys unfamiliar with local procedures were brought in on short notice, sparking fears about the fairness of certain proceedings. Further complicating the matter is an undisclosed relationship between the judge and a defense attorney who had represented her in a separate professional matter. That same attorney appeared before her in a succession case, raising potential conflict-of-interest concerns. The absence of transparency in this situation has led some in the legal community to question the impartiality of rulings made during that period,as reported by WAFB9. The developments have sparked wider conversations across Louisiana's legal circles about judicial accountability, transparency, and the need for reform. While no final decision has yet been made regarding her removal, the case is being closely watched as a test of how the state handles judicial discipline in high-profile situations.

'Their 10-year-old son, who was a passenger, has been airlifted to another hospital for further treatment. Sadly, their 4-year-old son succumbed to his injuries and has passed away," Napper wrote. A photo of Micah swinging a bat while playing tee ball was included. According to a statement by North Forrest Volunteer Fire Department Chief Brandon Odom, his team responded to a 'report of a single-vehicle accident with possible entrapment and injuries' in the 500 block of River Road shortly before 5:30 p.m. Once at the scene, firefighters found a silver vehicle that had left the roadway, entered a creek and landed upside down on the bank. Two of the victims, the 16-year-old and his 10-year-old sibling, were already outside of the vehicle, while the 4-year-old remained trapped inside.
