After losing her husband Mike, fifty-five-year-old Marsha Mills found purpose in caring for her two beloved granddaughters and occasionally watching Evan and Noah Shoup, toddlers from her daughter's best friend's family.On May 10th, 2006, that love would destroy her life.

With her infant granddaughter in her arms, she turned to close the back door when two-year-old Noah fell from the porch to the concrete patio below.The child was unconscious. Marsha moved him inside, called his father, and waited for emergency workers while caring for three other frightened children. When Noah died the next day, Marsha was charged with murder.The case against her was built on medical opinion, not evidence.Detective Larry Hootman, who first investigated the scene, testified it was a "freak accident." He was removed from the case. Detective Michael Goodwin used ultraviolet imaging throughout Marsha's house but found no substances or evidence of violence.No physical evidence. No weapon. No motive.But Dr. Daryl Steiner of Akron Children's Hospital had an opinion.Based on Noah's injuries, Steiner testified the child had been abused.

Two saying murder.The jury chose to believe the prosecutors.After five hours of deliberation, they found Marsha Mills guilty of murder.

How to write a willWe all know it's something we should do — but it's easy to put off. For many adults, estate planning, especially writing a will, gets pushed down the to-do list for another month, another year or even another decade. In fact, many people don't begin the process until well into their 60s, sometimes after a major health scare or family change forces the conversation. But taking the time to get your affairs in order earlier can make a meaningful difference, according to experts. It gives you more control over your decisions, your assets and how you want to care for the people you love. And just as importantly, it can ease the emotional and financial burden often placed on families during an already difficult time. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," a Northeast Ohio attorney explains what you need to know about creating a will, why it matters and how to get started. Guest:- Helen Rapp, Staff Attorney, Economic Justice Group, The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland Akron nonprofit organization engages students through sneaker cultureLater in the hour, a nonprofit organization in Akron is hoping to reach young people through sneaker culture — and the effort comes at a critical time. Last summer, a mass shooting at Mason Community Learning Center left more than a dozen young people injured. In response, Akron city leaders committed $100,000 to youth sports and wellness programs and reinvested in other crime-deterring efforts. But how can communities connect with kids before they reach a crisis point? The Akron Sneaker Academy says its working to address this by using shoes as a gateway to hands-on learning, mentorship and exposure to science and technology. Guests:- Dominique Waters, Founder & Executive Director, Akron Sneaker Academy- Michael Redovian, M.D., Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Akron Children's Hospital

What does leadership look like when profit is no longer the priority?For Brent Smith, it looks like showing up for people who are often forgotten. In this episode, Brent opens up about founding Love's Reflection after years of hospice volunteering and a near-death experience that permanently shifted his perspective on life, death, and purpose.You'll hear how Love's Reflection focuses on fast, meaningful, deeply personal acts of service, from granting final wishes to simply ensuring no one feels alone at the end of life. Brent also shares how a major partnership with Akron Children's Hospital is expanding the nonprofit's reach and why leadership grounded in compassion has reshaped his dealership culture, team morale, and long-term vision.This conversation goes beyond nonprofit work. It's about redefining success, building community when none exists, and understanding how one small act of kindness can impact everyone involved.

Dr. Robert Hoffman is the Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Nationwide Children's Hospital. He earned his M.D. from The Ohio State University, completed his pediatric residency at Akron Children's Hospital, and completed his fellowship at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Dr. Hoffman is also a member of the Scientific Policy Committee of the American College of Pediatricians. He has recently revised an important report titled Marijuana Use: Detrimental to Youth. A recent press release spoke of an "American College of Surgeons report revealing that over 40% of deceased drivers in motor vehicle crashes over the past six years tested positive for THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana." This alarming statistic underscores a persistent and growing public health crisis. While this study does not specifically indicate the ages of the drivers, previous evidence shows that young adults are disproportionately prone to risky or impaired driving behaviors, particularly when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. While there are claims that marijuana is harmless, there are also many adverse effects that not only impact the user, but also children are being impacted as well.

Episode Description: In this episode, I chat with Megan Brannan, mom to a five-year-old boy named Rory, diagnosed with autism. Megan shares her journey from early concerns about Rory's speech delay to facing long waitlists for a diagnosis, all while navigating COVID-19 hurdles. She emphasizes the importance of trusting parental instincts when developmental delays are present, especially when medical professionals encourage a “wait and see” approach. We also dive into Rory's struggles with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and how sensory challenges impact his eating. Megan shares how feeding therapy, though slow, has been a crucial step in helping Rory expand his list of safe foods. If you've ever felt unheard as a parent or struggled to navigate your child's needs, this episode offers valuable insights and support. Key Topics: - Recognizing early signs of autism in speech delays. - Megan's persistence in switching pediatricians after feeling dismissed. - Long waitlists for autism diagnoses and how to manage the system. - Rory's journey with ARFID and the role of feeding therapy. - Advocating for your child's needs, including adding sensory challenges to IEPs. - The emotional journey of seeing a child hit milestones, like talking. Actionable Tips for Parents: 1. Trust your gut: If you feel something's not right with your child's development, don't hesitate to seek a second opinion. 2. Explore private testing options: If waitlists are long, consider alternative routes like private assessments or consulting school psychologists. 3. Leverage IEPs: Work with your child's school to include food-related support in their IEP if sensory issues impact eating. Resources: - Help Me Grow: https://www.helpmegrow.org – Early intervention services. - Akron Children's Hospital: https://www.akronchildrens.org – Feeding therapy and pediatric services. About Megan: Megan Brannan is a devoted mom to her 5-year-old son, Rory, who has Autism and ARFID. After noticing developmental delays at 15 months, Megan faced a long and challenging journey to secure an Autism diagnosis. Rory's ARFID, driven by sensory and anxiety issues, limits him to a small selection of safe foods. With the support of her family and therapists, Megan is dedicated to helping Rory grow and thrive despite these challenges.

Jury Duty ScamBeware of a jury duty scam circulating in Summit County, as authorities issue a warning about fraudulent calls threatening fines and arrest for alleged failure to appear. Scammers may demand payments in Bitcoin, falsely claiming that judges accept cryptocurrencies. Summit County government offices do not accept such payments. The scammers may pose as deputies, using real names and ranks of law enforcement personnel, along with spoofed phone numbers to mimic authentic Summit County Sheriff's Office calls. Residents are urged to hang up immediately, verify the call's legitimacy by contacting dispatch at 330-643-2181, and be cautious as the Sheriff's Office does not make such calls regarding warrants or fines.Almost Shooting a BuchtelA 15-year-old was arrested by Akron police outside Buchtel CLC after a fight. Safety team members observed three male teens in a fight, and one, not a student at the school, was seen with what appeared to be a concealed firearm. The school resource officer and safety team struggled to restrain the armed teen, who reportedly tried reaching for the firearm during the scuffle. The recovered weapon was identified as an AR-style airsoft gun with a loaded magazine containing live .223 caliber ammunition. The 15-year-old, sustaining minor injuries, was taken to Akron Children's Hospital, and charges are pending based on the investigation.

Sydney Powell, 23, has been convicted of the brutal murder of her mother, 50-year-old Brenda Powell, following the revelation of Sydney's expulsion from college. The jury's verdict included charges of murder, felony assault, and tampering with evidence. As the verdicts were read, a visibly distraught Sydney Powell sobbed in the courtroom, marking the culmination of a trial that delved into the depths of her mental health and the tragic events that unfolded on that fateful day in March 2020. On March 3, 2020, Sydney's father, Steven Powell, went online to try to pay her tuition but couldn't access the portal. When he confronted his daughter, she confessed that she had been expelled from Mount Union University and had been keeping it a secret for months. After Steven told his wife, she returned home from her job at Akron Children's Hospital as a child life specialist to discuss the matter with her daughter. Officials from Mount Union University testified that while they were on the phone with Brenda, they heard repeated thuds and screaming, and then the call disconnected. One of the officials tried to call back, and Sydney answered, pretending to be her mother. However, the official did not believe her and called the police. Prosecutors say that Sydney repeatedly beat her mom in the head with the cast iron skillet, retrieved a steak knife, and stabbed her nearly 30 times. "She had to switch weapons and keep attacking her," assistant prosecutor Brian Stano told jurors. "That is purposeful. That is trying to end someone." After the attack, Sydney shattered a window to stage a break-in, according to prosecutors. When the police arrived, Sydney claimed an intruder had entered the house, her mother told her to run, and upon her return, she found her mother on the floor.

Educators know mental health must be treated like physical health - it's a basic need that must be met for students to be able to successfully learn and grow in our schools. But, since even before the pandemic, there's been a growing mental health crisis among children. Dr. Ariana Hoet, executive clinical director for Nationwide Children's Hospital's On Our Sleeves program, joins the Ohio Education Association for this episode to discuss factors that contribute to the crisis, what can be done to support students in schools, and the resources available to help educators help kids. In this episode, we also hear some of the message and a new resolution from the Ohio House of Representatives that was shared with educators as part OEA's first-ever Public Education Matters Day celebrations across the state.IMPORTANT RESOURCES | Click here to learn more about On Our Sleeves, and check out some of the following resources for educators: GoNoodle: https://www.gonoodle.com/tags/L2nZb2/all-the-feels Teacher curriculums: https://www.onoursleeves.org/mental-wellness-tools-guides/educator-sign-up Sign up for teacher listserv: https://www.onoursleeves.org/sign-up (just click educator) Follow On Our Sleeves on Instagram at @onoursleevesofficial and On Our Sleeves on Facebook.

Featured Public Education Matters guests: Dr. Ariana Hoet, PhD, On Our Sleeves Executive Clinical Director Ariana Hoet, pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital and executive clinical director of On Our Sleeves, is the driving force behind its mission of providing educational resources that break stigmas, increase mental health literacy, and support children's mental health. Dr. Hoet believes all children and families should have a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That enthusiasm extends into her desire for making sure that people of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated – a passion born from her own experience as an immigrant to the U.S. from Venezuela. Her work in this arena led her to being recognized as a Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan by the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs and an “EXTRAordinary” Volunteer by the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio for her work within the Spanish-speaking community. Dr. Hoet works in Pediatric Primary Care where she serves primarily Latino and Somali immigrant children. She is also a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, with a role in training the next generation of behavioral health professionals who will tackle the emerging mental health crisis in children. Dr. Hoet has become a go-to national expert for outlets including USA Today, CNN, Good Morning America, and Newsweek because she is a vital public voice for youth mental health, and also because she has made an impact on countless young lives in her clinical practice. The work of On Our Sleeves and Dr. Hoet helped draw U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy to Nationwide Children's in October of 2022 to discuss the county's growing pediatric mental health crisis. In panel discussions before central Ohio business executives at Nationwide Children's, and with hundreds of college students at Otterbein University, Dr. Hoet and Dr. Murthy spoke passionately about addressing often-misunderstood mental health challenges. Dr. Hoet is the proud mom of a toddler and enjoys family time, dancing, and Ohio State football. She is also involved in Latino community events, both personally and professionally. Dr. Hoet is the co-founder and vice president of Parenting Culture, a national non-profit for culturally responsive and inclusive parenting resources and a board member of Proyecto Mariposas, the Columbus non-profit serving Latina mothers and daughters. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from The Ohio State University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She completed her residency at The University of Colorado School of Medicine and a post-doctoral fellowship at Akron Children's Hospital.

Diagnosing Autism can be a very daunting process. In some cases, especially in adults, the process can take several doctors, a multitude of tests and questions, and in some cases a fair amount of out-of-pocket expense.So why do we bother? For some, it is a simple need to know for certain what we already suspect. In the case of our children or a young adult, it could mean the difference between obtaining helpful services or having services that are possible but out of reach.This visit we talk with Dr. Allison Burke, the director of the diagnostic clinic at Akron Children's Hospital. We'll get a glimpse of the diagnostic process and how Akron Children's is working to make the diagnosis process a more pleasant and workable experience.Support the showThanks for Listening!

In a strange sort of way, a recent Sky News story reminded me of Luke 11. That's where Jesus asks whether, if your child asked for a fish, you'd give them a snake? Or if they asked for an egg, would you hand them a scorpion? Here's the article's headline: “Hundreds of young trans people seeking help to return to original sex.” The story featured a woman who, after publicly admitting regret over her so-called “surgical transition,” was contacted by hundreds of people in her part of England who felt the same way. One of those people, “Ruby,” also struggled with eating disorders. One would think that the combination of gender dysphoria and eating disorders would suggest to medical professionals that Ruby was suffering from body image issues. But, as she told Sky News, the doctors never even suggested there might be a connection there worth exploring. Instead, it was “Here's your hormones, here's your surgery, off you go.” Or, to borrow Jesus' words, “Here's your scorpion, here's your snake.” This story is far from uncommon. Young people in emotional pain and distress are asking adults for help. But, because of our ideological blind spots, we give them serpents and scorpions instead of what they really need. Just consider the name given to a new children's pediatric clinic at Akron Children's Hospital: “Center for Gender Affirming Medicine.” Since the fundamental connection between gender and biological reality has already been severed by our ideological commitments, it's safe to assume that doctors there will “affirm,” both in their diagnoses and with their prescribed treatments, whatever gender a child claims they are. But what about the Ruby's of the world? What about the hundreds of people in that one part of England that were given the wrong treatment for their psychological issues? They are victims of our bad ideas, and our blind spots. Too often, they are forced to be invisible victims, ignored because their very existence challenges the new sexual orthodoxy. Many physicians today simply ignore that up to 80 percent of the children who suffer from gender dysphoria will eventually outgrow those feelings. Even worse, they fail to connect the dots between gender dysphoria and potentially serious mental illnesses that often accompany it—like depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Or, in Ruby's case, a severe eating disorder. Multiple issues like this spark the “chicken and egg” questions. Does gender dysphoria cause depression and anxiety? Or is gender dysphoria a symptom of depression and anxiety? The truth is that no one knows with any certainty. But, the new gender ideology is leading many professionals to proceed with treatment as if gender dysphoria is no disorder at all. So, the best “treatment” (the theory goes) is to affirm the young person's belief that they are transgender and initiate the transition process as soon as possible. This will supposedly reduce the inner conflict, and in turn help with their other disorders. This neat and tidy theory has one big problem: There's no evidence it works. In fact, evidence points the other way. A 2011 study that followed 324 Swedish men who had undergone sexual reassignment surgery found that 10-15 years later, their suicide rate was 20 times higher than that of their peers. An earlier study in Britain commissioned by the Guardian newspaper found that “There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals, with many people remaining severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation . . .” Today, affirmation passes for “care,” not because it is, but because it affirms gender ideology, even if it leads to life-altering surgery or hormonal treatments. If the patient later regrets it, or hurt themselves, or are miserable, we'll just blame it on “transphobia.” Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have victims. We need to ensure that the victims of bad gender ideology are no longer invisible. Their stories must be heard.
