Five years later, COVID-19 is an afterthought. However, the city of Detroit authorized $2.19 million of ARPA money to spend on the Adams Butzel Complex recreational building.

DALE COUNTY, Ala. - Two girls from Dale County, Alabama and their families are suing online gaming company Roblox and messaging platform Discord, alleging the girls met and were groomed by sexual predators on the platforms.
The family of a now 14-year-old girl claim she met a user on Roblox when she was 11-years-old who claimed to be 15, but was actually a man targeting the young girl for exploitation.
