• Eatontown Family Sues Monmouth County After Their Son Was Injured In County Park (patch.com) — Rumson's government and DPW are among many entities sued after a 15-year-old was badly injured by construction equipment left in Middletown's Huber Woods Park, though Middletown has since been dismissed from the case.
