- Description
- A Massachusetts middle school sent a letter to parents on Monday asking them for help as dozens of students have been terrorizing a local grocery store on days when they are dismissed from class early, building forts out of paper towels and toppling displays, educators said.
“Over the weekend, I was contacted by the director of Shaw’s Market, who shared alarming information regarding a troubling trend involving our middle school students who visit Shaw’s on half days,” Medway Middle School Principal Amanda Luizzi wrote in an email to parents.
Educators said about 100 students have been visiting Shaw’s at 65 Main Street on half days, wreaking havoc inside the store as customers try to shop.
“It was reported that a growing number of students are engaging in disruptive behavior while visiting the store. This includes building ‘forts’ out of paper towels, riding in carriages and electric carts, knocking over displays, and even stealing...

- A stowaway found on a British cargo vessel heading to Boston is now being held by Customs and Border Patrol for processing.
An anonymous tip to Boston 25 News says the man was led off the ship at Conley Terminal in South Boston Monday morning. The video below shows the man escorted in handcuffs into a CBP vehicle.
The US Coast Guard confirmed they escorted the MV Hurst Point through Boston harbor alongside city and state police.
Thomas Kinton, former CEO of Massport, says stowaways found in Massachusetts are becoming more of a problem.
“It’s not common but it happens,” said Kinton.
Massport oversees major state airports and shipping facilities in the Boston area. Many international ships dock at Conley Terminal carrying goods from around the world for New England companies.
Kinton says all international vessels are inspected miles off the coast of Boston at an anchorage point.

- Talia Smith, 44, of Norwood, said it felt like a “bomb went off” in her body in April 2021.
Days before that pain began, Smith had gone to the doctor suspecting a urinary tract infection.
After lab results confirmed she had a UTI, her doctor prescribed the commonly used antibiotic Cipro.
Otherwise known as ciprofloxacin, Cipro is part of a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones.
Its recommended uses include to treat anthrax, the plague, gonorrhea, typhoid fever, and complicated bacterial infections. Currently, about eight name-brand fluoroquinolones are on the market – but most people are prescribed dozens of generic options.
“I actually said: ‘This is a pretty strong antibiotic,’” Smith recalled in an interview with Investigative Reporter Ted Daniel. “Like, ‘Is this the right one I should be taking? And is there anything I need to know?’ And they actually told me, ‘No, the...

- Deadly cases of domestic violence have appeared in the headlines recently. Police departments will tell you it’s the number one issue they deal with year-round. A local librarian has become a resource for those victims.
Instead of saving the book in front of her, Molly Riportella, a Westwood librarian, intently takes it apart. And her bosses approve. “A lot of support from both the library and the town as a whole,” said Lizzy McGovern, the Westwood library director.
Riportella’s idea, “BiblioUnderground,” started when a friend turned to her for help. “Back in 2022, I had a friend come to me because they were in a very abusive situation and I had an extra phone line,” said Riportella.
Victims oftentimes don’t want to use the phone that’s in their house or their cell phones for fear of being found out by their abuser.
Riportella says, “Technology safety is a huge thing. You have to be on top of your privacy. Spywar...

“The Norfolk D.A.’s Office and the Karen Read defense team participated in a conference call yesterday with a representative of the U.S Attorney’s Office.
