In Michigan and other States, drivers should exercise due caution when making left hand turns across lanes of traffic. This is especially true in school zones or where there are day care centers. In Genoa Township, Michigan, a serious automobile accident took place when a driver (Eric Wint) attempted a turn onto Grand River Avenue. Michigan State Police are conducting an investigation into this accident. According to a Michigan State Trooper, it is believed that Wint may not have seen the other vehicle in this T Bone type of accident. The impact of this crash pushed Wint’s Chevrolet Malibu into a local day care center (School Bell). None of the 40 or so students were injured as a result of this automobile accident. Mr. Wint was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. The other driver was also transported to the hospital and later released.

It is clear that passenger vehicles are no match for passenger trains when it comes to a crash or collision. In Canton Township, Michigan, it is reported that up to five teen were killed in an accident involving a passenger train and a passenger automobile. News reports indicate that the driver of the passenger automobile may have ignored a railroad gate by driving around it prior to the crash. It is certainly a tragic accident and a great loss for the families of the teens who died as well as the families of the teens. Amtrak and its officials have taken the position that neither the company or the employees committed any errors or negligence as to this incident.

In Michigan and other States, children are often times abused and neglected in child day care centers. When it comes to discipline, many Michigan child care providers use a fist or a belt rather than a calm voice and reason when dealing with children. Corporal punishment in child day care centers is prohibited pursuant to Rule 400.5107, Discipline, Licensing Rules for Michigan Child Care Centers. Punishment in the form of hitting, spanking, biting, pinching and other physical or corporal punishment type of acts are clearly prohibited under this rule. In addition, a child care center can not take away food as punishment or tie up or restrain a child. There are some exceptions to these general rules when the health and safety of the child or others are at risk. Michigan child care centers have a duty to refrain from these acts. If discipline is necessary at the child care center, the child care workers have a duty to promote self control, self direction, self esteem and cooperation rather than resorting to physical violence and corporal punishment.

It is terrible when a stranger hurts our children. It can be argued that it is far worse when a child’s own mother harms her child. In Detroit (Wayne County), Michigan, a Detroit mom and two men were charged with promoting prostitution when the police raided a home with 19 adult female prostitutes and 2 16 year old girls which included the mom’s daughter. Wayne County Sheriff’s office reported that it was a cash for sex party which involved a $15.00 cover charge and a negotiated payment for various sex acts with the prostitutes. The Detroit Mom could teach a class in “Bad Parenting 101”.
