The county says the unfortunate situation amplifies a placement crisis in our state.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - A foster parent contacted 19 Investigates because he was a dad fed up and concerned for his safety.
Hayes is an Army veteran. He served our country overseas though multiple deployments. After the military, Hayes worked in a correctional facility before he retired. He says the child had been placed with him, because he had gotten into fights with other kids at the last foster home. Hayes says he came to realize he too just couldn’t handle what he described as vulgar actions in public and screaming at home.
Burnett said, “We would never knowing[ly] put a child at risk. The child’s behaviors were not that concerning to us because we know that many of our children have behaviors that are a result of their trauma histories so we were really trying to get him to hang on to give us time to find the best option for the child. Once Mr. Hayes made comments about his mental health, we found a respite home for the child. Unfortunately, that home is just for one night.
“There’s a lot of children out there that have no homes and you got children in treatment facilities that no one wants,” Hayes said. “If a treatment facility, if they’re not taking them and a foster parent doesn’t want that disruptive behavior in their home. Where do they go?”“I signed the paper and said I don’t want to do it no more,” he said.

Frontiers | Sociability in a non-captive macaque population is associated with beneficial gut bacteriaThe relationship between social behaviour and the microbiome is known to be reciprocal. Research in wild animal populations, particularly in primate social groups, has revealed the role that social interactions play in microbial transmission, while studies in laboratory animals have demonstrated that the gut microbiome can affect multiple aspects of behaviour, including social behaviour. Here, for the first time, we explore behavioural variation in a non-captive animal population with respect to the abundance of specific bacterial genera identified from research on the microbiome–gut–brain axis. Social behaviour based on grooming interactions is assessed in a population of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), and combined with gut microbiome data. We focus our analyses on microbiome genera previously linked to sociability and autistic behaviours in rodents and humans. We show in this macaque population that some of these genera are also related to an individual’s propensity to engage in social interactions. Interestingly, we find that several of the genera positively related to sociability, such as Faecalibacterium, are well known for their beneficial effects on health and their anti-inflammatory properties. In contrast, the genus Streptococcus, which includes pathogenic species, is more abundant in less sociable macaques. Our results indicate that microbes whose abundance varies with individual social behaviour also have functional links to host immune status. Overall, these findings highlight the connections between social behaviour, microbiome composition and health in an animal population.
