DAYTON, Ohio -- A boy hanging out of an upstairs window tips off authorities to a potentially dangerous situation.

Firefighters were handing out batteries for smoke detectors Thursday night in the 100 block of South Hedges Street in Dayton when they spotted the four-year-old child. Investigators discovered that the boy was home alone -- living in a filthy house.

When crews asked the boy where his mother was, he said, "At the bar."

There was no food in the fridge and there were bugs everywhere in the home where the boy was found, according to the police report.

He and his eight-year-old brother are staying with their grandmother -- their mother was arrested and faces child endangering charges. The grandmother says the mother's boyfriend was watching the kids while the mother was gone.

MORAINE, Ohio -- New details are surfacing about what it may take to get new production at the General Motors plant slated for closure in Moraine.

One day after Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher said GM is considering a new product for which the Moraine plant could compete, House Speaker Jon Husted said he is working on financial incentives that would encourage GM to bring new technologies to the Miami Valley.

In June, GM announced it would close its Moraine SUV assembly plant by 2010 or earlier.

State leaders say they're working to convince the automaker to bring a new product to the plant.

Capitol Hill Mourns Ohio Lawmaker

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A memorial service for Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones will likely be held in Cleveland Saturday, Aug. 30, says a family friend and spokesman.

Colleagues and friends of the Ohio Congresswoman are remembering her accomplishments this morning.

Tubbs-Jones died Wednesday of a brain aneurysm that happened Tuesday while she was driving through Cleveland Heights.

She will be remembered for making huge strides for African-Americans and women in politics. She was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress, and to serve on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.

A Super Delegate who initially supported Senator Hillary Clinton for President, the Congresswoman from Ohio's 11th District was a strong critic of the Iraq war.

Initially, news of Tubbs-Jones' death was inaccurate. Apparently an e-mail that was sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office spurred a series of news releases and reports that she died, when she was still alive.

Though she opposed many of President Bush's initiatives, the president says the nation is grateful for her service. He's praising the congresswoman's dedication to small business, schools and working Ohioans.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich says his Democratic colleague poured her heart and soul into her job, and the Clinton family calls Tubbs Jones a "one-woman force for progress."
