A Kentucky lawmaker is pushing a measure inspired by tragedy that could help prevent child abuse before it escalates. On this episode of Kentucky Focus with Scott Fitzgerald, State Representative Susan Witten explains Kyan’s Law, legislation that would train animal control officers to recognize signs of child abuse and neglect — strengthening early intervention efforts across the Commonwealth.

Many drivers don’t even know it. He explains how recalls work, why repairs are always free, and how drivers can check their vehicles in seconds.
