LMPD, FBI Investigates Exploitation Scam Targeting Boys

Several teenage boys in Louisville have been victims in a scam in which they are coerced into sending explicit images of themselves, then blackmailed into sending the scammer money, officials have said.

Louisville Metro Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a video Tuesday, warning parents to monitor their children's social media accounts. To view the video, click here.

If you need additional advice or would like to access free services at the Child Advocacy Center, you can call 1-800-752-6200 (Kentucky) or 1-800-800-5556 (Indiana).

An article from Norton Children's expands on how to talk with your children. It said, "Talk openly about personal responsibility, personal boundaries, and how to resist peer pressure. Conversations like this should happen often — not just when problems arise." 

If you feel that your child may be the victim of such a scam, you are asked to reach out to the FBI using the tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or report it online.

Dry Weather Brings Increase in Sewer Odors

MSD’s clAIRity Program Seeks to Provide an Easy Way to Report Odor Issues

a

Smell something? Say something. To report a sewer odor, visit MSD’s clAIRity Program website or call MSD Customer Relations. Naturally-occurring sewer odor is caused by hydrogen sulfide, which forms when sewage and other materials (like leaves or yard waste) decompose. Long stretches of hot and dry weather bring increased issues with sewer odor, particularly in the older parts of our city where one pipe carries both sewer water and storm or rainwater.

MSD’s clAIRity Program webpage at LouisvilleMSD.org/Odor provides an easy online tool for residents to report odors, learn about MSD’s efforts to reduce odor in the community, and view past or upcoming clAIRity Program meetings.

Louisville Metro Animal Services and Kentucky Humane Society Waive Adoption Fees for Adult Dogs and Cats during National “Empty the Shelters” Event

a

Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) and the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) today announced they are waiving adoption fees for adult cats and dogs as part of a national “Empty the Shelters” event sponsored by the Bissell Pet Foundation. LMAS is also waiving adoption fees for puppies and kittens. “Empty the Shelters” will take place Saturday, October 1 through Saturday, October 8.

Like shelters across the nation, LMAS and the KHS have been at-capacity in recent months and are struggling to find loving homes for their animals. Strays and owner-surrenders have skyrocketed, while adoptions have decreased - not just in Louisville, but across the country.

To encourage local families to adopt during “Empty the Shelters,” the shelters adoption fees are:

-LMAS AND KHS waived adoption fees for adult cats and dogs, 1-year and older

-LMAS is also waiving adoption fees for all kittens and puppies

-Adopters in Jefferson County will still be required to a purchase a 1-year pet license, a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance

To view adoptable animals and learn how to adopt at each shelter visit:
