• 0:16
  September 17th, 2026. Let's get you caught up.

• 0:34

• 0:37
  but died from their injuries this Monday. Investigators
• 0:40
  are now looking for an older black sedan believed
• 0:43
  to have been involved. If you were traveling
• 0:46
  through the area around that time, CHP is asking

• 1:45
  Back to the brief. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:48
  County has issued its formal response to a grand
• 1:52
  jury report examining its Welcome Homes and the
• 1:56
  services provided to foster youth who are experiencing
• 2:00
  or considered at risk of sexual exploitation.
• 2:04
  The county agrees that the conditions at the
• 2:06
  homes have improved and says the sheriff's office
• 2:08
  has helped provide protection while building
• 2:11
  positive relationships with young people living
• 2:13
  there. However, it disagrees with several other
• 2:17
  findings, including claims that foster youth
• 2:20
  are being left vulnerable because of access to
• 2:23
  cell phones, gaps in information sharing, and
• 2:26
  inadequate staff training. County officials say
• 2:30
  phones can serve as an important safety tool.
• 2:33
  Information about exploitation concerns is shared
• 2:36
  with law enforcement, and staff receive training
• 2:39
  in trauma -informed care, harm reduction, and
• 2:42
  commercial sexual exploitation of children. The
• 2:46
  county acknowledges that its quarterly report
• 2:48
  have not included specific numbers of youth identified
• 2:52
  as being exploited or at risk. during the second
• 2:59
  quarter of the current fiscal year. Officials
• 3:03
  will also review practices used by other counties
• 3:06
  with that research expected to be completed by
• 3:09
