Grim details from toddler's death
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editor
Quarantine vs. no quarantine: Whether your child should quarantine after exposure to the coronavirus will depend on where your child goes to school. The state education secretary said Wednesday that students with a recent exposure could stay in classrooms, but in East Baton Rouge Parish the public schools superintendent said that rule won't fly. Children in the region's largest public school district will have to stay away from classrooms.
Detailing the death of Nevaeh Allen: Police have released the grim details regarding the death of a toddler who had been reported missing last week. The body of the 2-year-old was recovered Sunday in a wooded area of southern Mississippi. Elyse Carmosino looks at the affidavits here.
