Woman Who Dumped Son Faces Extradition; Kenney and Diaz Engage Over Hispanic Voters; AG Kane Sued

A Philadelphia woman accused of dumping her quadriplegic son in the woods so she could visit her boyfriend in Maryland has been released from a hospital and is facing extradition. Nyia Parler is in custody and is due in court Tuesday in Montgomery County, Maryland. Philadelphia police officers will pick her up if she agrees to return. The 21-year-old son remains hospitalized in stable condition after spending four cold, rainy days in the woods near his home this month. The young man has been treated for malnutrition, dehydration and abrasions.

The battle between the candidates for Philadelphiaâ€™s next mayor is heating up. City Councilman Jim Kenney announced yesterday that he has won the backing of Latino political and community leaders. That drew outrage from fellow Democratic candidate Nelson Diaz who accused Kenney of buying the Latino support by agreeing to fund a joint campaign with Manny Morales. Kenney denies the claim.

A former Pennsylvania undercover agent has sued Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane for defamation, saying she made false statements about his role in a "sting" operation that caught Philadelphia elected officials on tape pocketing money. Claude Thomas, who posed as the driver for the lobbyist turned operative in the sting, said Kane falsely told the public that he had said the operation had a racial agenda, targeting blacks and exempting whites. Thomas is African American. According to Philly.com, he said Kane's suggestion that he had taken part in a plan to go after blacks had damaged his reputation by portraying him as unethical, incompetent, and a "greedy sellout."
