• Arkansas lawmakers to study state's handling of child abuse cases (thv11.com) — A Cabot mother’s testimony about her 5-year-old daughter’s medical exam has prompted Arkansas lawmakers to launch a formal study of how the state handles child abuse cases. Her experience at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and a Searcy facility raised questions about consent, video-recorded exams, and how suspected abuse is investigated, with legislators now forming a work group that could propose new protections for families. 
• Arkansas Tech University recognizes fall 2025 Tradition Keepers (rivervalleydemocratgazette.com) — Cabot residents may recognize Ashley Muller, who is among ten Arkansas Tech University graduates honored as fall 2025 Tradition Keepers for leadership, service, and campus involvement.
