A Detroit home owner told Fox News 2 Detroit^[1] in a televised interview that she and her baby have been forced to live with a squatter.

Heidi Peterson says that she was away from her home for a year but found another woman living there upon her return. That woman, Tracey Elaine Blair, has been living there for several months, according to neighbor’s accounts.

Peterson says that Blair believes her home is part of a special program through which people can claim houses, fix them up and keep them. The woman, by law, cannot be removed by force until Peterson goes through the court system to prove that she actually owns the home. And, because she spent all of her money on the house, she is forced to share it with Blair. In fact, they sleep just feet away from each other in separate rooms.

FLINT, Mich.– The ferociousness that won Claressa Shields (pictured) an Olympic gold medal melted away as she climbed on the podium to claim it.

She giggled and grinned as she caressed it, the prettiest thing the 17-year-old boxer ever had. She shimmied and bounced. She belted out the national anthem with gusto. Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she held the medal high in the air, threw her head back and laughed.

“This gold medal,” Shields said, “will make my life a lot better.”

Truth is, she can thank herself for that.

“It took a lot for her to get to where she is, because she so easily could have gone in a different direction,” said Mickey Rouse, who along with husband Jason Crutchfield, Shields’ coach, has taken Shields in.

Unwilling to accept a life of poverty, crime or worse, Shields found her family, her passion and her way out through a small, dark basement gym.

“If you want something,” she said, “you’ve got to get it
