News in Review: Controversial Redistricting Plan Passes, Boy Falls from Window and Man Sentenced for Sex Trafficking of Minor

If you missed the news this week in Silver Spring, no worries. We cover it here in our weekly review!

Here's round-up of the week's news in Silver Spring:

  • The week began with news of a 911 call reporting a five-year-old boy had fallen from a third-floor window at a Silver Spring apartment complex. Teenagers made the call, after hearing the boy's cries while walking past the building. The boy was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
  • Also if you missed it, Patch announced its "Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge," a contest to find the kid with the most creative Halloween costume in America. Grand Prize is a three-day, two-night trip to New York or Los Angeles to meet celebrity judge Heidi Klum; plus a donation of $1,031 to the local charity of the winner's choice. It's not too late to enter--just upload a photo of your child (12 years of age or younger) in his or her Halloween costume, before 9 p.m. EST Halloween night (Oct. 31). Good luck!
