The child’s mother, Kimberly Hopson, says her young son
being exposed to the dangerous drug isn’t the only cause for concern. She also noticed
bruising on her child’s body.
“Bruises pretty much all over the chest area, the abdomen
area, the legs, his buttocks, even. The only explanation that was provided to
his mother was that, somehow, he must have fallen out of his highchair,” Hopson’s
attorney B’Ivory LaMarr said during a press conference WDJT News reports.
An August 2022 reported incident uncovered staff members “being
aggressive” with infants and toddlers.
After police were notified, WISN News reports a drug detection dog found a “clear plastic bag with a small amount of white powder,
later confirmed as cocaine” at the daycare.
KinderCare daycare employee Passion Watson possessed the
drug and was later arrested and charged with possession of cocaine.

Authorities said Watson admitted to using cocaine “socially”
but “denied knowing about the bag of cocaine investigators found” the day of
the search.
KinderCare said in a statement to news outlets, “Nothing is
more important to us than the safety of the children in our care.”
However, the daycare center where the child attended had
racked up “23
violations” with the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families.
Amid the investigation, Hopson’s attorney, Mr. LaMarr, said
the child’s home was “raided as a result of this teacher’s action,” and the
child’s family’s privacy was invaded “based on the suspicion of cocaine.”
As the criminal investigation continues, Hopson and her
attorney are exploring their legal options to obtain accountability and ensure
that no other child has a similar experience.
In an effort to track his family history the author has skillfully layered the foundation of his roots. Julius Faucette searches for a workable meaning to his life through his ancestor's choices of color. Faucette takes the reader back to the 1700's through research and intimate conversations with one of the oldest members in the family. Eugene Pinnix, who lived to be 104, speaks to the readers through Julius Faucette. 
Fluidly, calmly, insightfully, Faucette guides his readers straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class and race. The Saga of Madison Brown "A Choice of Color" is a story of race, inheritance and color choices. Not often does one hear of someone of German ancestry passing for black. Through his research, Faucette reveals how individuals in the Madison Brown family were able to make color choices, which ultimately resulted in life changes.
Faucette cleverly shifts between information obtained through general research and his on-going interviews with Eugene Pinnix. By combining both, he is able to educate and entertain his readers. The author deciphers a historic unknown by matching it with known facts obtained through his cousin Eugene. And the contrast between those born in slavery and those born to freedmen is powerful. This historical pictorial will draw readers in.
As the Madison Brown history unfolds, each generation passes down to the next that thirst to make color choices. The struggles of each play out in this candid historical review. In this irresistible story, Faucette resists the urge to paint with a broad brush that will stereotype the races. He utilizes the information obtained from not only his dear cousin, but also documents from local courthouses, state records, etc., to present a complete family picture.
This first edition will take the reader back several generations and the result is that
most will yearn to know their family origins.
