Poor baby, hope they’re okay. Place never looked safe, city should’ve stepped in sooner.
Samantha G.I know, it’s heartbreaking. I’ve heard complaints about that motel for years. Hopefully this will get the city to really clean it up.
Thank you for your concern—the authorities have not yet released details about the baby's condition as the investigation continues, but the incident is definitely raising important questions about safety and oversight.
Always something shady going on at that Super 9. Not surprised at all about the rooms getting shut down.
It's clear from the city's response—condemning 18 rooms—that officials did find significant concerns at the Super 9, which many in the community have mentioned before.
