Georgia Mother Accuses County Officials Of Covering Up Serial Abuse At Youth Shelter

The shelter has since shut down due to bankruptcy.


A Georgia mother is taking action against a county district attorney and child services for an alleged cover-up of a serial child abuser.

The mother claims that her 13-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by an employee at a youth shelter. The filing states that the abuse occurred at the Clayton County nonprofit in 2022, according to Atlanta Black Star. The woman took legal action against the employee, Caleb Randolph, and his mother, Mia Kimber. Kimber was the former director of the shelter, formally called Rainbow House.

Not only is the woman suing the mother and son for assault and negligence, but also claiming that several state and local officials were involved in covering up these abuse allegations from multiple young girls. The plaintiff, listed as “A.C.,” alleges that Tasha Mosley, the current Clayton County district attorney, and Jeffrey Turner, the former chair of the Clayton County Commission, were involved in an alleged conspiracy to conceal the abuse. While the commission funded Rainbow House, Mosley previously served as a board chair.

Randolph was later convicted of statutory rape in May of 2024 for the grooming and sexual exploitation of a teen girl at the shelter, listed as “A.C.” The complaint also states the defendants systematically failed to report abuse claims, resulting in the racketeering allegations.

“This case isn’t just about one predator; it’s about a network of power that enabled him. The District Attorney knew, Rainbow House leadership knew, the Department of Family & Children Services knew, and many others knew. They didn’t just look the other way – they actively covered up the repeated sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl. This wasn’t just negligence; it was complicity,” shared the plaintiff’s attorneys in a joint statement.

Rainbow House served as an emergency shelter for children before its closure in 2023. Child Services initially relocated A.C. to a facility in May 2022. It aimed to provide safe housing, support, and resources for children who had been removed from their family situations.

However, A.C. reportedly endured sexual abuse and exploitation at the facility at the hands of Randolph. Instead of reporting the molestation, Randolph was fired for “violation of policy” and then rehired a week later.

The mother claims that these individuals knew of the abuse yet took no steps to remove the employee. Randolph reportedly molested another young girl at Rainbow House as well. The filing also states Mosley did not launch a proper investigation into the claims. The woman was a prosecutor for Clayton County at the time.

However, Mosley told Fox 5 Atlanta that she denies any wrongdoing on her end.

“The Board of Directors was not responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Rainbow House; thus, it was not involved in any manner with staffing other than the hiring of the Executive Director,” she said. “I was not the Chair of the BOD when M. Kimber was hired, but the BOD was notified by the Chair at the time that Ms. Kimber passed all required background screens.”

The mother and son were only arrested following a whistleblower complaint. Currently, Kimber faces a charge for one count of Cruelty to Children. Her son is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence.

“This little girl was a child in crisis, placed in state care to be protected, but instead, was exploited, hidden away, and ignored,” added the plaintiff’s attorneys. “Rainbow House and multiple people in power preyed on the most vulnerable — children with no stable homes, no consistent records, and often no one looking out for them. These weren’t just isolated failures; this was a deliberate targeting of kids who could disappear without anyone asking questions. That’s what makes this so dangerous and so evil, and we believe there are many more victims.”

Why Robert Golden Walked Away From The NFL To Build A School In His Hometown

Following retirement, the former NFL player dedicated himself to a new project with a similar game plan in mind. He put everything he had into opening a school in his birthplace, so kids of all ages can succeed.


Most people know Robert Golden from his seven seasons in the NFL, first with the Pittsburgh Steelers and later with the Kansas City Chiefs, but if you ask Golden what he wants to be known for, he doesn’t always talk about football. Instead, he lights up when discussing his hometown of Fresno, California, the city where he grew up, and where he’s set his sights currently.

Following retirement, the former NFL player dedicated himself to a new project with a similar game plan in mind. He put everything he had into opening a school in his birthplace, so kids of all ages can succeed.

“I always knew football was something I did. It was never who I was,” Golden said. “At some point, I felt like there was something bigger waiting for me.”

That next chapter turned into Golden Charter Academy, a public TK-8 school in Fresno. The school focuses on teaching leadership, science, and environmental education to a wide variety of students.

What makes it different exactly? Here, students learn through hands-on experiences that let them interact with nature. Golden has partnered with local spaces like the Fresno Chaffee Zoo to create what’s being dubbed the first Environmental Stewardship Zoo School in the country.

“For me, it was never about just opening a school,” he said. “I wanted to create something lasting that gives kids in my community opportunities I didn’t always have growing up.”

Golden’s journey hasn’t been smooth sailing 24/7, something he speaks openly about, such as the mental adjustment that came after leaving the NFL. At first, in post-retirement, he struggled with depression and felt unsure about what was to come next, but he credits his faith and the hard-working mindset football instilled in him to help push him forward, in spite of struggles.

“Football taught me how to prepare, how to adapt, and how to keep moving no matter what,” Golden said. “That’s the same energy I bring to running a school and running a business.”

As for his advice to any athletes left navigating life after sports, he is honest and direct. Golden believes the key to post-athletic success is really knowing yourself outside the game and a willingness to start fresh.

“You have to create your own playbook,” he said. “Life is not going to put you in the game if you don’t know what play you are running.”

He also reminds athletes not to chase money and, instead, to focus on their purpose. It’s a stronghold belief that guided him to leave behind a professional football career to then focus on education and community work in his hometown and the wider area.

At Golden Charter Academy, students come from neighborhoods that don’t always have access to the same resources seen at other schools. Golden wants his students to receive a well-rounded education, not only in math and science but also in leadership and responsibility.

“I tell them, be GOLDEN. Give respect. Be obligated. Love learning. Show dedication. Elevate others. Never quit,” he said.

That guiding principle is not just something written on a motivational poster; it’s how Golden approaches his own life and leadership, whether it involves raising over $26 million to fund the school or mentoring kids one-on-one.

Looking back, Golden said he wouldn’t change anything, even the hard parts, as they’ve helped inform his decisions today. He believes the difficult moments are what shape you and help you to appreciate the wins, big and small.

“If you never face tough times, how can you really appreciate the good ones?” he questioned.

For Golden, his wins look different now. They’re less touchdown-oriented. Instead, they’re focused on the next generation of students and maybe potential NFL athletes. In helping a student discover something new or helping someone realize their own potential, Golden is cementing his own legacy.

CLOCK IT! You Can Still Get Flown Out Without A Real ID

Real ID requirements are in effect for air transportation. However, travelers may still be able to clear TSA security checkpoints without it.


Real ID requirements are in effect for air transportation. However, if travelers are not up to date, they may still be able to clear TSA security checkpoints.

Travelers who arrive at the airport will be subject to enhanced security screenings to board, according to the official website. TSA agents may ask passengers to provide additional personal details, such as their full name, current address, and other verifying information. The traveler may also fill out Form 415, known as the Certification of Identity, which triggers the TSA’s identity verification process. Once public databases confirm the passenger’s identity, they will be allowed to proceed.

Other acceptable alternatives to a Real ID include valid U.S. passports, passport cards, military IDs, permanent resident cards, and federally recognized tribal IDs.  Much like the enhanced verification protocol, tribal identification will be manually verified by looking through federal databases 

Statistics indicate that 81 % of passengers currently present acceptable ID, but 17 states lag in Real ID compliance, meaning many could experience delays this summer. 

The TSA stated that arriving early will allow travelers without ID the necessary time to complete the verification process. The organization advises arriving at least three hours before departure.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, confirms, “If [IDs] are not compliant, they may be diverted to a different line, have an extra step, but people will be allowed to fly.” 

Easy travel may be a concern for many. However, many international travelers are opting out. In June 2025, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projected the U.S. would lose $12.5 billion in travel revenue. The decline is attributed to the aggressive immigration and travel policies implemented by the Trump administration. The administration has enacted a new $250 VISA integrity fee for international travelers. 

The VISA integrity fee will be applied in addition to all current fees. Erik Hansen, senior vice president of the U.S. Travel Association, said the cost of implementation is a barrier to travel and economic gain.

“Raising fees on lawful international visitors amounts to a self-imposed tariff on one of our nation’s largest exports: international travel spending. These fees are not reinvested in improving the travel experience and do nothing but discourage visitation,” Hansen said.

Walmart Invites US Businesses To 2025 Open Call, Bolstering American Manufacturing

Building on a previous commitment, Walmart’s new pledge to invest an additional $350 billion by 2030 in products that support U.S. jobs is estimated by Boston Consulting Group to support over 750,000 jobs. 


Walmart is once again opening its doors to American entrepreneurs and manufacturers, announcing its annual Open Call event for 2025. This initiative, now celebrating 40 years of Sam Walton’s enduring legacy, serves as a cornerstone of the retail giant’s commitment to bolstering U.S. production and innovation. Aspiring suppliers can submit applications from June 24 to July 25, 2025.

The company is actively seeking “shelf-ready products” that not only offer compelling value but also resonate with the evolving needs of Walmart customers and Sam’s Club members. 

Beyond consumer goods, Walmart is expanding its search to embrace “manufacturing innovations/technologies.” 

These sought-after advancements aim to reduce complexity, cut costs, or lessen environmental impact across U.S. manufacturing. Examples include breakthroughs in yield insights, shelf-life extension, alternative materials, and advanced manufacturing processes, with San Francisco-based Unspun highlighted as a prime example of the kind of innovation they’re looking for.

Businesses with products or technologies made, grown, or assembled in the U.S. are encouraged to register for a chance to pitch directly to Walmart and/or Sam’s Club merchants. 

The main event is scheduled for October 7 and 8, to be held in person at Walmart’s Open Call is facilitated by RangeMe and ECRM Connect, platforms designed to streamline the product discovery and sourcing process. Prospective suppliers are advised to set up a free account on RangeMe.com now to build a robust product portfolio and supplier profile, which will significantly simplify the required steps once the Open Call application window opens.

This annual event highlights Walmart’s deep commitment to U.S. manufacturing. Building on a previous commitment, Walmart’s new pledge to invest an additional $350 billion by 2030 in products that support U.S. jobs is estimated by Boston Consulting Group to support over 750,000 jobs. 

Luke Schneider, Founder & CEO of Fire Department Coffee, captured the sentiment, stating, “Walmart is the #1 retailer. It was our #1 goal to get into Walmart, and I think this is just a massive opportunity, and I’m excited for everyone.”

Beyond the Open Call, Walmart offers additional avenues for businesses to collaborate, notably through its Marketplace on Walmart.com. This platform provides professional online sellers with tools for seamless catalog integration, efficient order management, and robust customer care. Approved sellers gain access to an ecosystem of innovative solutions, including Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) for best-in-class fulfillment and Sponsored Products ad campaigns to boost brand visibility among millions of shoppers. Applicants for the Marketplace should have a proven history of e-commerce success, the ability to manage their own catalog, and a range of products with standard identifiers, such as GTINs or UPCs.

Earlier this year, Walmart took its Open Call initiative on a cross-country tour, hosting pop-up pitch events in various cities. These stops — including Los Angeles (April 3); Orlando (May 1); Kansas City, Missouri (May 9); Baltimore (May 13); Austin, Texas (May 21); Columbus, Ohio (June 18); Atlanta (June 24); and New Orleans (June 26) — provided innovators and entrepreneurs with direct access to Walmart buyers, offering real-time feedback and potential “fast passes” to the main event in Bentonville.

FICO Integrates Buy Now, Pay Later Loans Into Credit Scoring Models

FICO announced it will begin factoring Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans into scoring models.


FICO, the creator of America’s most widely used credit-score system, will begin factoring Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans into select credit-scoring models later this year. 

The company released a statement explaining its decision and the benefits to consumers. The change “acknowledges the evolving landscape of consumer financing.” BNPL has become increasingly popular, particularly among younger Americans and limited credit consumers. While intended to help, the change may hinder consumers who cannot keep up with payments.

FICO’s new scoring methods will group BNPL data but not penalize consumers opening multiple short-term loans. The models, FICO Score 10 BNPL and 10T BNPL, will group the short-term BNPL loans together.

FICO vice president Julie May said this shift could help financially underserved groups. Most notably younger borrowers or those lacking traditional credit history can improve their credit scores.

“Buy Now, Pay Later loans are playing an increasingly important role in consumers’ financial lives,” said May. “By expanding our FICO Score 10 Suite with new models designed to incorporate BNPL data, we’re enabling lenders to more accurately evaluate credit readiness, especially for consumers whose first credit experience is through BNPL products. This innovation also supports our mission to expand financial inclusion by helping more consumers gain access to credit.”

The move comes after BNPL company Affirm began reporting to major credit bureaus Experian and TransUnion on April 1.

Early findings from a FICO-Affirm study suggest more than 85% of users’ credit scores benefit as a result of the calculations. Many consumers maintain or even boost their scores when making on-time BNPL payments. 

Conversely, consumers who miss BNPL payments or take on multiple plans are sometimes hindered in the quest to build a positive credit rating. A Reuters analysis noted growing late-payment trends and fears of “loan stacking,” which can adversely influence lending decisions. 

Some financial institutions are now flagging BNPL usage. Companies deem the usage risky. Major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Capital One have restricted using credit cards to pay BNPL loans regardless of a positive repayment history. 

With BNPL accounting for an estimated $108 billion in U.S. transactions this year, lenders will now have clearer insight into consumer debt profiles. 

As FICO’s BNPL-inclusive models roll out in the fall, consumer advocates warn that on-time repayment is critical.

Mayor Kamau’s Spending Was Audited; He Thinks South Fulton Council Members’ Should Be, Too

South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau’s spending using city credit cards revealed $109,000 in total spending and multiple questionable charges.


An examination into South Fulton, Georgia, Mayor Khalid Kamau’s use of city credit cards revealed $109,000 in total expenditures and multiple questionable charges.

Kamau, who is finishing his last term in South Fulton, is under scrutiny after an internal audit. Auditors flagged multiple charges made with his city-issued credit cards.

The audit results, which spanned 25 months, were presented at the July 22 South Fulton council meeting.

The evidence showed Kamau made multiple “luxury” purchases, including a convertible desk that doubles as a pool table. Additionally, the mayor paid $1,800 for flight upgrades and travel expenses to Paris and Ghana. The audit also reveals ancestry DNA services, over $2,600 in food purchases and Apple Music charges.

And only some of the purchases.  

During the council meeting, Kamau hinted that other council members had made questionable purchases, though he did not elaborate. “A petty person would say, ‘We need to do a $55,000 audit of each of the 7-council people.’ But I’m not petty.”

When asked about his actions, Kamau said he “may have” violated policy. Still, he believes, if he did, it was unknowingly.

“I will say this: all of my expenses were approved. The city manager did not approve the travel. People in her department approved without her knowing,” Kamau told WSBTV.

While contending that the majority of his purchases were legitimate, Kamau argued that anything not in line with policy was not his fault. He said the city’s policies lacked clarity, which allowed them to be easily misinterpreted.

“I do not believe what I did was unethical,” Kamau said. “What I will apologize for is our city’s name being dragged through the mud by people who are so anxious to get into this seat.”

Next stop for the show that melds hip-hop and car culture: Secaucus, New Jersey, on August 16.

“What a great weekend we had,” The BBS Boys wrote on Instagram. “The car show was a huge success. Here are a few feedbacks we received from people who were in attendance and from the vendors. Shout-out to everyone who came out to support.”

The “Drive Your Dreams” Car Show was held at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. Attendees saw custom classic vehicles and supercars that showcased automotive designs.

Coming Soon: ‘Whites-Only’ Community Expands Throughout The Mid-West

With Jewish people being banned from even the thought of obtaining a membership, the group’s website labels the goal as creating the next generation that promotes "traditional values.”


Eric Orwoll, co-founder of Return to the Land (RTTL), a whites-only group based in northern Arkansas, is celebrating the group’s expansion to Springfield, Missouri, to “promote strong families with common ancestry,” Fox 2 Now reports.  

The private member community, which is exclusively for whites, is looking to set up shop near a midwestern town while vetting members through an application process based on European ancestry. With Jewish people banned from even the thought of obtaining a membership, the group’s website labels the goal as creating the next generation that promotes “traditional values.” “We seek to create a decentralized movement, formed of various individuals and societies returning to the land,” RTL’s website says.

“We will promote strong families with common ancestry and raise the next generation in an environment that reflects our traditional values.”

Orwoll’s home base in northern Arkansas has been in development since 2023 on 160 acres. The area became the target due to its “affordable land, natural beauty, abundant water resources, and a conservative, predominantly white population.” But the leader’s inspiration came from Orania, South Africa — also known as an exclusive white Afrikaner settlement. According to Reuters, close to 3,000 people live in Orania, started by a group of white Afrikaners who were so opposed to the majority Black rule established with the end of apartheid 30 years ago. 

Today, the town is singled out with all residents, including menial workers, being white.

Orwoll visited the town and called their whites-only way of life “extraordinary.” “You should realize how special it is and how important it is,” he said in a video posted to X in January 2025.

“And you’re not just leading the way for Afrikaners, you are leading the way for especially European people all around the world. But more at a larger scale, any group who wants to define their own future, you are showing the way.”

However, his plan could be a dream deferred as the group’s ideology has received some backlash from state officials and law enforcement. 

Some groups claim the movement should be deemed illegal since it promotes segregation, and there are laws in place, such as the Arkansas Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that prohibit such acts. “We urge the Arkansas Fair Housing Commission, local elected officials, and law enforcement to act swiftly to ensure that Northeast Arkansas remains a welcome and inclusive community, not a refuge for intolerance and exclusion,” Lindsay Baach Friedmann, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) South Central, said in a statement.

However, white people aren’t the only demographic seeking a change of scenery to preserve their traditions. A 2020 report highlighted an opportunity in Wilkinson County, roughly two hours from Atlanta, where 19 Black families pooled their money to purchase nearly 97 acres of land to escape the everyday racism prevalent in America.

Venus Williams Becomes First Player Over 40 To Win Singles Match In 20 Years

She's the second-oldest player to do it after 47-year-old Martina Navratilova won a Wimbledon match in 2004


Proving that sometimes age is just a number, legendary tennis superstar Venus Williams turned back the hands of time when she became the oldest player to win a singles match on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA ) Tour since Martina Navratilova won a Wimbledon match in 2004.

According to CNN, Williams, who is 45, won her match against Peyton Stearns 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the round of 16 at the DC Open. She becomes the second-oldest tennis player to win a match behind Navratilova, who was 47 when she won a Wimbledon match over 20 years ago. The win comes after she won in doubles competition with Hailey Baptiste on July 21.

The last time Williams played on a tennis court was in March of last year, when she lost an opening-round match against Diana Shnaider at the Miami Open. Her last victory before this, as a singles player, was a victory in 2023 against Veronika Kudermetova in the opening round of the Cincinnati Open.

“There are no limits for excellence,” Williams said. “It’s all about what’s in your head and how much you’re able to put into it. If you put in the work mentally, physically, and emotionally, then you can have the result.”

She will play two more times this week when she hits the court again July 23 with Baptiste when they face Taylor Townsend and China’s Zhang Shuai. Her next singles match takes place July 24 when she takes on No. 24-ranked Magdalena Fręch.

USA Today reported that the tennis player is back in action because she stated she needs health insurance.

“I had to come back because they informed me earlier this year I’m on COBRA,” she said. “So I was like, ‘I gotta get my benefits!’ You guys know what it’s like. I’m always at the doctor, so I need this insurance.”

People also reported that Williams is now an engaged woman. She stated that her fiancé encouraged her to keep playing.

“My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing,” Williams said. The man she will marry is a 37-year-old model/actor, Andrea Preti.

More Americans Opt For Cash Reserves Over Checking And Savings Accounts

Inflation might be leading more Americans into stashing their savings in cash.


New research shows a near-record surge in Americans choosing to stash their savings in cash reserves instead of traditional checking and savings accounts.

New analysis from the JPMorganChase Institute shows Americans’ cash reserves are on the rise, thanks to a shift toward brokerage accounts, money market funds, and CDs, the Associated Press reports. While traditional checking and savings balances “remain low with a flat-growth trajectory,” (even after adjusting for inflation), overall reserves have been climbing since mid-2024, inching closer to historic growth levels.

“Families across many income bands are now seeing a turnaround in their total cash,” said Chris Wheat, president of the JPMorganChase Institute.

The analysis found that households earning under $35,000 a year saw their total cash balances grow at an annual rate of 5% to 6%. The lowest-income households typically keep just over $1,000 in checking and savings, while the wealthiest hold median balances topping $8,000.

The disconnect between strong consumer spending and stagnant checking and savings growth reflects today’s high-interest-rate environment, where more people are moving their money into yield-generating accounts like money markets and CDs to actively manage their cash flow and invest for the long term.

Wheat warned that this shift could be temporary, noting the institute doesn’t yet have enough data to know if the trend will last, and it has been “hard to square the circle” of consumer spending staying strong despite the lack of growth in checking and savings accounts. Most notable is that people aren’t rushing to gamble their savings in the stock market. Instead, they’re strategically parking their cash in places that offer flexibility and a little extra income.

The report paints a deeper picture of how households are adapting, taking advantage of higher interest rates, staying flexible, and redefining what “saving” looks like. While traditional bank balances remain lower than expected, when factoring in investment platforms and other cash-like accounts, Americans seem to be managing today’s economic climate far better than it might appear.
