Ohio doesn't closely track how often this happens. Advocates want that to change. OhioJFS provided 10 Investigates with report that estimates last fiscal year approximately 400 children spent at least 1 night in a county offices. Report also notes 34 foster kids spent 6+ nights.

As part of our reporting, we reviewed months' worth of police runs and body camera videos, which helped confirm what we'd been hearing - that foster children have been sleeping - sometimes living- in offices when placements can't be made. 10TV #10TV 10 Investigates

A 2021 field test conducted at the Columbus Crew’s lower-dot-com stadium found the Evolv Express flagged 58 percent of the knives that were tested and missed two micro-compact handguns, according to a @10investigates review. Evolv does not dispute the report’s findings.

Evolv co-founder and Columbus City Schools talking to reporters about new Evolv detectors being installed at all high schools.
