Many celebrities, journalists, and other notable people or businesses have recently found themselves without the “blue checkmark” that previously signified verified accounts on Twitter. New owner Elon Musk has now made the check mark verification system a paid add-on ($8-$11) for social networking site that is otherwise free. While many notable people have made public comments, Takoma Park Police is one of the first local organizations to comment publicly:

“Blue check marks: @elonmusk You should provide the blue checkmark to police departments for free so we can distinguish ourselves as legitimate & giving out correct information to our communities. It would be the appropriate thing to do to support law enforcement. Thank you.”

Chief Antonio DeVaul from the Takoma Park Police Department have announced the arrest of Josiane Kameni Sahok, 32, of Takoma Park, Maryland, for three counts of Child Neglect. The arrest was related to last week’s incident of a three-year-old child falling from the second story window of an apartment building.

Per Takoma Park Police: On March 21st, at approximately 11:50 am, Takoma Park Police responded to the 1100 block of Linden Avenue for the report of Child Neglect. Officers were contacted by a UPS delivery driver who reported that while delivering a package to the apartment, the door was opened by a toddler. The driver called out for an adult but was met with another toddler who was crying. Officers responded, made entry into the apartment, and found two visibly upset young children. The apartment was in an unsanitary condition with no adults present. Officers were unable to contact a parent. They immediately purchased diapers for the toddlers and cleaned them up. While officers were on scene caring for the toddlers, the parent, identified as Sahok, arrived at the apartment with a 5-year-old child. Officers determined that the toddlers were left alone in the apartment for several hours. They provided Sahok with assistance and information for resources for food and other necessities while discussing the dangers of leaving children unattended. Child Protective Services was notified.
