These wooden “timeout boxes” were reportedly being used on elementary school students at a public school in upstate New York. Officials at Salmon River Central School District in Fort Covington have now confirmed that students in special education programs were being confined inside the structures.

According to New York state education officials, at least five young students were placed inside the boxes. School officials later acknowledged the images were real after photos began circulating online in late 2025, and the practice was reportedly discontinued in December.

Now New York state has stepped in and ordered sweeping changes within the district. But questions continue about how something like this was allowed to happen inside a public school in the first place.

It looks like Scott Peterson’s latest effort to overturn his conviction has fallen apart in court.

Back in January 2024, the Los Angeles Innocence Project announced it was taking on Peterson’s case, raising questions about how parts of the investigation were handled and whether key evidence and alternate leads were overlooked.

But that momentum has clearly stalled out after a San Mateo County Superior Court judge denied Peterson’s third writ of habeas corpus, issuing a 116-page ruling rejecting all 14 claims brought before the court.

Laci Peterson disappeared on Christmas Eve 2002 while eight months pregnant after leaving her Modesto, California home. Several months later, Laci and her unborn son, Conner, were recovered from the San Francisco Bay near the area where Scott Peterson said he had been fishing the day she vanished. Investigators also began focusing more heavily on Peterson after details emerged about an affair involving Amber Frey that he had kept hidden from Laci.

A major development came out of the Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez case today. Investigators digging behind the Everman, Texas home where the 6-year-old once lived say they found human remains during the search.

Authorities have not officially identified them yet, but this is the first truly tangible development in the case since Noel disappeared back in 2023. The deeper investigators looked into Noel’s disappearance over the last two years, the more troubling the story became. Noel had developmental and medical challenges, and relatives later told investigators they became concerned after they stopped seeing him regularly and realized he was no longer being taken to his appointments.

Eventually the focus centered heavily on Noel’s mother, Cindy Rodriguez Singh. Investigators have said Rodriguez-Singh initially told them Noel was living with his biological father in Mexico. But after a wellness check was requested at the family’s home, Rodriguez-Singh, her husband Arshdeep Singh, and six of their children left the United States for India. Noel was not with them. Rodriguez-Singh was eventually taken into custody in India after being added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. Her six children later returned to the United States with her and are now in the care of relatives while the case moves through the court system.

Investigators have also said Noel was neglected for months before he vanished, and court records tied to the case describe concerns involving withholding food, medical care, and the living conditions inside the home. Cindy Rodriguez Singh faced charges connected to Noel’s disappearance, but just this past month was ruled incompetent to stand trial at this time.

Hopefully today’s discovery may finally bring investigators closer to understanding what happened to Noel.
