A | TOPEKA, Kan. -- Child welfare officials investigated the family of a 5-year-old Kansas girl five times in the 13 months before she was raped and killed, but couldn't confirm allegations of neglect or drug use by her mother, and the family repeatedly declined offers of help, a report released Tuesday showed. The report by the state Department of Children and Families said in one case, the agency confirmed that the mother wasn't properly supervising Zoey Felix, but the girl was placed with her father and because of that, “No safety concerns were identified.” After receiving allegations in late August of drug use and lack of utilities in the home, child welfare officials made seven failed attempts to reach the family over the next month.On Oct. 2, Zoey died after fire crews couldn't resuscitate her at a gas station. Neighbors believe Zoey and her father had been camping in a grove of trees on a vacant lot nearby. Mickel Cherry, a 25-year-old homeless man, is charged with first-degree murder, rape and capital murder, and could face the death penalty. Authorities haven't said how Zoey died. “Zoey Felix’s death was an unacceptable tragedy," Gov. Laura Kelly said in a statement accompanying the Department of Children and Families' two-page summary of its interactions with the girl's family. Kelly said she plans to push for legislation next year that would expedite the release of information when a child dies of abuse or neglect. Her administration pushed for such a change in 2021, but a bill never passed. Currently, DCF only releases a summary of its involvement initially and can't do so until attorneys vet the document. Typically, the full case reports aren’t released until after the prosecution is completed, which can take well over a year.This has left an information vacuum in Zoey's case that was exacerbated Tuesday when a judge sealed the arrest affidavit that was used to support criminal charges against Cherry. Judge Christopher Turner concluded that releasing the records would jeopardize the safety of witnesses or sources or “cause the destruction of evidence.”Cherry’s attorney, Mark Manna, of the Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit, has declined to comment. Cherry’s family didn’t respond to phone messages, and his Facebook friends described him as chronically homeless. Neighbors said Zoey wandered their neighborhood dirty and hungry. Several reported calling child welfare to express concerns. According to the summary from DCF, child welfare officials said they received the first tip about Zoey on Sept. 8, 2022, alleging poor conditions in the home and possible drug use in the presence of a child. The mother agreed to a drug screen and it came back negative, the agency said. The agency also said in its summary that Zoey's mother was working with court services. By then, she had been charged with domestic battery against her husband and teenage daughter, court records show. The DCF summary said the agency offered help to the family, but they declined and the case was closed. Another complaint alleging an unsupervised child was lodged with the agency on Nov. 8, 2002. Just six days earlier, Zoey's mother had called to report that the then 4-year-old was missing, a police incident report shows. Zoey was found unharmed a short time later.The DCF summary made no reference to Zoey's disappearance, and it was unclear whether that prompted the complaint. The summary said simply that the case was unsubstantiated and offers of help were denied. Later that month, Zoey's mother was arrested after crashing her car near a north Topeka bar while driving drunk with Zoey in the front seat. A sworn statement from a Topeka police officer, which also was released Tuesday, said the mother was “having difficulty standing upright, attempting to walk away with a small child.” He also wrote that in looking into her car, he saw two open bottles of vodka, one half-full and the other, three-quarters full. The officer said that in interviews, Zoey said her mother had been drinking from both bottles before and while driving.The officer wrote that the mother was uncooperative and, “She was taken to the ground in order to be handcuffed.”The DCF summary said welfare workers left Zoey in her father’s care; court records show he was living with a girlfriend at the time. Zoey's mother was jailed until March, when she pleaded guilty to felony aggravated battery and driving under the influence and was sentenced to probation. Zoey's father was evicted from his apartment in May. Another tip the agency received that month alleged there were no operating utilities in the mother's home, but the agency found the home to be “livable," with utilities, food and no signs of drugs. Again, the family declined services. Then on Aug. 29, another complaint alleged drug use and no utilities, prompting the seven failed attempts by the agency to contact the family in September. But during that time, police went to the home twice, once even tracking down Zoey and talking to her. But officers were told by Zoey’s father that she wasn’t living there, city spokeswoman Gretchen Spiker said. The second time police responded, an officer stood outside as belongings were retrieved from the house, a police report said. Police reports do not explain where Zoey, her sister, her father and Cherry went after that, but neighbors said they were living in a makeshift camp.Laura Howard, the top administrator for the Department for Children and Families, vowed to launch a thorough investigation.“We will take every step necessary," she wrote in a statement. DCF opened another investigation as a result of Zoey’s death.。

B | 冀时新闻报道 抢抓新能源物流发展机遇,出台系列扶持政策,持续加大资金投入,新能源货运发展规模稳居全国前列。这两天,记者在石家庄一家汽车贸易中心走访时发现,前来咨询重卡的客户络绎不绝,其中多数是奔着新能源重卡而来。骏驰汽车贸易有限公司总经理 李栋:到目前为止,今年新能源(重卡)的销售量已经超过了去年一年的整体的销量。从环卫车辆、渣土车辆、搅拌车辆,逐步到现在的牵引车、载货车,包括承配车辆,越来越多的场景在应用。在交车现场,记者遇到了刚提完车的物流公司负责人李皓。

C | 就在半年前,他还对重卡"油换电"持观望态度。靓卡网络科技有限公司负责人 李皓:一是车价高,它这个车价比正常的油车价格能高出大概小10万块钱来。再一个就是充电便利不便利,所以之前一直也是犯嘀咕,迟迟没有下手。真正让李皓下定决心的,是看得见的政策补贴和实打实的运营收益,现场他给记者算了一笔细账。

D | 靓卡网络科技有限公司负责人 李皓:拿我们旧车做置换,有一个45000(补贴),购这个新车有一个85000的补贴,所以基本上下来跟油车的价格就差不多了。运营成本上,(用)油的单公里的成本在一块四到一块五,但是我(用)电的单公里成本基本上就在六毛吧;路权这块的话,油车的话就得跑绕城高速,电车它就可以跑三环了。

E | 一个月下来,就是连高速费带我的油费,我基本上能省个大概7000块钱左右吧。从业者心态转变的背后,是我省推进新能源重卡规模化应用的系统性布局。截至2025年底,新能源重型营运货车数量达39384辆,居全国首位。今年,我省争取中央补贴资金5.55亿元,印发《省老旧营运货车报废更新补贴实施方案》,全力支持新能源货车更新。省交通运输厅综合规划处副处长 张俊丽:我们联动国土、电力等部门协同发力,打通车辆更新等各项工作的审批堵点。全省今年预计新增新能源货车4000余辆。

F | 到年底,保有量将突破4.5万辆。车辆规模扩容的同时,补能网络也在持续加密。

G | 沿石衡高速驶入辛集市,一座大型光伏物流场站格外醒目:连片光伏板下,一排排新能源重卡有序补能,这就是当地打造的一站式绿色补能货运枢纽。场站总面积5.2万平方米,光伏铺设面积达4万平方米,日均发电量5万到10万千瓦时。辛集市星耀物流集团总经理 张永宾:传统的这个充电站以(赚取)服务费为主,路子会越走越窄。我们建了光储充一体的这种站,自发自用。

H | 以我们现在自有车辆952台,联动社会车辆2700多台,全年节省的这个补能成本大概是两个多亿,每年降碳预计在70万吨以上。记者在现场看到,场站配有80台大功率重卡直流充电桩,依托数智化管理平台,精准匹配货源与运力,实时追踪每辆车的行驶、充电动态。同时,还配建了司机之家、专业维修车间等设施,整合了物流中转、绿电补能、餐饮休闲、车辆维保等多项功能,形成多元互补、稳定可持续的盈利结构。货车司机 张宇刚:充电桩特别多,有半个小时、一个小时就充满了。趁着充电的时间,我们可以休息一下。

I | 餐厅还有洗浴、洗衣服都可以,都特别方便。包括辛集在内,放眼全省,正以点带面、连线成片,加速构建覆盖全域的零碳运输通道和补能服务网络:今年力争完成"冀中南一一黄骅港"零碳物流通道建设;明年上半年建成京沪、京港澳高速零碳物流通道;后续将分步完善京哈、京昆、青银等干线高速的货运充换电配套设施。持续加密的补能站点,正推动零碳物流补能网络越织越密。
