ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about playdates and what's appropriate to hang on the walls. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Good morning Jaime my name is Ella and I’m emailing you because I’m not sure what to do about a play date situation with my 9 year old son. He recently went for a play date to a new friend’s house whom he met at soccer. The mother couldn’t be nicer and they have a beautiful home. The thing is that when I went to pick him up she invited me in the house and I noticed that her home has several paintings on the walls that are nudes. Not dirty nudes but nudes. It makes me wonder if I should continue to let my kid go over there. He didn’t say anything to me about it but I feel like they should take the pictures down if they know they are having other people’s children over. What do you guys think?EllaPersonally, I feel like Ella is way overthinking the situation...

Dear Amy: I am the mother of three daughters, and I’m hurting so bad.During the pandemic in 2020, my middle daughter (an anesthesiologist) passed away suddenly.She lived several states away from me.My oldest daughter and youngest daughter immediately flew out to her town.They did not invite me to fly with them.I was simply crushed.I had an accident years ago and lost a great portion of my hearing, so navigating an airport was just too stressful for me to handle alone.Driving more than 1,000 miles alone was not an option, either.Sadly, I did not get to attend the funeral.I told my oldest daughter how hurt I was over their actions in not helping me to get to the funeral.I got no response.Related ArticlesAsk Amy | Ask Amy: Houseguest needs nosh; raids pantry Ask Amy | Ask Amy: Struggling relative wants to RSVP well Ask Amy | Ask Amy: Legacy employee contemplates retirement Ask Amy | Ask Amy: Theater kid’s future rests on a curt...

‘My son should be here’: 6 years later, justice still sought in Cal Poly Humboldt student’s death

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:57:03 GMT

Saturday marked the sixth year since Cal Poly Humboldt student David Josiah Lawson was fatally stabbed. His family and loved ones met with Humboldt County District Attorney Stacey Eads on Friday, who promised to spend the next three months reviewing the case.Lawson’s family wants Eads to pursue murder charges against Kyle Zoellner, a McKinleyville man who was initially charged with fatally stabbing Lawson at a party in Arcata in the early morning hours of April 15, 2017, but a judge decided there wasn’t enough compelling evidence for the case to warrant a trial. Michelle-Charmaine Lawson, Lawson’s mother, said the prosecution of Zoellner must come sooner.“She’ll have an answer for us, probably in about three months, but I don’t think you need three months to solve this case (that) is already solved. She just needs to prosecute Kyle Zoellner,” Michelle-Charmaine Lawson said.Lawson said the accumulated evidence in the case, which includes Zoellner’s bloody clothing, and his DNA under ...

Dear Gov. Newsom: People are dying in the Rehab Riviera. Do something

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:57:03 GMT

Hey, Gov. Newsom! Hope you’re doing well up there.For us? Down here, you know, not so much.I can’t believe it but it has been six years since the Southern California News Group began chronicling the tragic cycle of fraud, death, abuse and abject failure in California’s startlingly unregulated addiction treatment industry. In that time, not much has changed.You have kids, Gov. Newsom. Can you imagine taking a lost, troubled child to a fancy seaside treatment center — licensed by our state — promising medical supervision and group therapy and a new lease on life, only to learn that the kid died in his sleep because there’s no doctor for miles and no one was checking as he detoxed?Or because he got hold of drugs packed with fentanyl and overdosed in his room?Or because he was tossed out for being high and staggered alone to a nearby parking lot and swallowed the rest of the pills in his pocket, dying behind a gas station garbage bin?I’m a parent, too, Gov. Newsom. If I speak to one mor...

Dear Gov. Newsom: Their daughter’s been swallowed by California’s rehab monster

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:57:03 GMT

Second in a regular series. See the first letter to Newsom here.Dear Gov. Newsom:Today I’d like you to meet the Jersey couple who parachute into L.A. every few months to figure out if their daughter is still alive.That’s them, near Skid Row, doggedly tacking up “missing person” posters and showing her photo to whoever will listen. She’s movie star material, truly: Early 20s, long dark hair, sky high cheekbones, Brooke Shields eyebrows. “PLEASE,” the posters implore; “Contact your family. They love you.”Dad sort of looks like a cop, but users smoke dope right in front of him and try to sell to him anyway. “I can bring back a shopping bag full of stuff,” he says. “There’s a school nearby, and little kids walk right past these guys with torches heating up these little glass vials. I took pictures.“I’ve been in Camden and Newark, and I can’t believe how bad California is,” he adds. “You don’t see anything like this in New Jersey.”Back in the car, Mom and Dad drive slowly, searching.
