  Speaker 1: Going to get into the longer school days talk that
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: everybody's laying an rfk's doorstep, and he's really kind of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: behind on the curve on that one. Really, you're going
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to probably be surprised that it's not a new or
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: innovative idea. First, though, a couple of local stories I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to cover for you here in central Ohio. This
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: one's hard to talk about. As you heard Allison just report,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the little baby that was found in a garbage can
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: up there in the Plains City area back in June
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three has been identified. They were calling
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: her Madison Baby. Do the mother an Anuranda Manu Kanda,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, charge with gross abuse of a corpse,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: which is a fifth degree felony. The reason they cannot
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: charge her with murder, homicide and fantaside or whatever, frankly,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: is because the baby was in a trash can and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the trash truck dumped the can and they can't tell
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: whether the baby was born dead or was killed. They
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: can't tell. So this is the best that they can
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: do as far as charges go. But they have identified
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this this woman now who is the mother of the child,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and ah Man that it's let justice be done. That's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: all I can say. I don't know the situation, don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: know the circumstances, don't know the reasoning, I don't know anything.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I just know that a child was never allowed to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: grow and I'm sorry about that. I don't know why,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: but whatever happens, let's hope that it resembles justice. Another
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: story here locally, those two pit bulls that killed the lady.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: The mother and son who owned the pit bulls have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: been sentenced. Did you already see the Zach?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: What really sentenced here?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Hei? God, I've actually looked at fourteen to sixteen.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Years, fourteen to sixteen point five years. Good, I'm honestly
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I thought if they did get sentence, it wouldn't be
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: nearly that high of that many years.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I am, yeah, And they both got fourteen to sixteen
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and a half years, both of them. Their dogs attacked
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a seventy three year old woman, Joanne Echolbarger back in October,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: running loose at the time of the attack. Prosecutors argued
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: during their trial that the dogs were dangerous their owners
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: were negligent. Police that testified at the front door of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the Withers home. That's hard to say, did not close
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: or lock properly, which is what allowed the dogs to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: get out. Now, yes, these were pit bulls, but I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: said this back would have occurred. I'm saying it now.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Any animal, any animal, and revert to their nature at
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: any time. We are fortunate that it does not happen often.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We are fortunate that it does not happen with hamsters.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But any animal is still an animal. And if you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: have the slightest doubt about whether your your pet can
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: control itself around other people or other pets or whatever,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: keep it restrained. These people are going to prison from
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: fourteen to sixteen and a half years and a seventy
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: three year old woman is never going to be a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: seventy four year old woman because somebody didn't follow that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: very very simple piece of logic. And yes, I do
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: think that they had to be held accountable. The dogs
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: were known to be vicious. They did not take the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: proper precautions to keep those dogs either you know, confined
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to a fenced yard or you know, behind a door
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in the house that locked or whatever. They made it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: possible for these dogs to uh to escape the house
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and do serious harm. To someone, So yeah, I do
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: think they were culpable. I am just very very surprised
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that our court system sentenced them to more than, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: eighteen months on community control wearing an ankle monitor. Nobody monitors,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: very very surprised at that. If you have any thoughts,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: feel free you. By the way eight two one nine
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: eight eight six eight two one dou WTV or eight
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: hundred six' TENU wtvn the longer. SCHOOL i had this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: talk with somebody yesterday BECAUSE i got, WELL i got
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: an email from the school. System the schools and the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: students were taken aback you see here in the city Of.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Columbus they were, surprised they were they just there because
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: because the teachers have to call the kids by their.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Names i'm, sorry it just sounds so stupid to say.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: THAT i had to. Chuckle, yes the schools have gone
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: back Colum city, SCHOOLS i, suppose in order to have
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: al to you, know avoid any lawsuits or, whatever have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: gone back to calling kids by their names on their birth. Certificates,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: so you, know Little, charlie who would rather identify As, Barco,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Lounger beverly or, something has to be called Little, charlie
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and there was an email sent out by the superintendent
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that was attempted to make nice of the situation while
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: still basically saying we don't agree with, it or we're
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: going to do, it how supportive they are of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: students and so. On SO i got into that conversation
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: which led us into the longer school. Days and there
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was a time WHEN i, Thought, okay longer school days makes.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Sense kids need more. School i'm in favor, of you,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: know going to school twelve months a, year just doing
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: periodic breaks a couple of, weeks a couple of, weeks
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks like. That BUT i came up
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with that hypothesis at a time WHEN i think schools
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: were far more effective and doing that little thing we call. Educating,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: now in our current, environment the current state of, EDUCATION
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: i don't know, frankly that a longer school day would
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: benefit the. Children it actually may be. Detrimental SO rfk
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: has brought, it brought it back to the table for.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Conversation Edward kennedy actually championed the same thing back in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: two thousand and. Seven John kennedy actually did the same
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: thing back in nineteen sixty. One was it and believe
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it or, not there is a house bill on the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: floor at The Ohio legislature right. Now i'm not sure
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what stage of development it is, in but it is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: there to increase for grade seven through twelve increase the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: number of required school hours in a year from one
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: thousand and one TO i think it's one thousand and thirty, five, which,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: again in an ideal situation where education was still, EDUCATING
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: i would automatically say, Yep BUT i don't. Know AM i?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Wrong AM i? Seriously i'm asking this question considering the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: crapola that our kids come out of these buildings. With
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: now AM i wrong to say more school hours might
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: actually be a bad? Thing i'm mulling this. Over i'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: trying to come to a conclusion in my. Mind you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: guys can help. Me eight two one nine eight eighty
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: six eight two ONE wtv And gary standing me on
• 7:31
