All states have a system to receive and respond to reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. If you suspect a child is being harmed, or has been harmed, you should report your concerns to the appropriate authorities, such as child protective services, in the state where child maltreatment is occurring. Each state has trained professionals who can evaluate the situation and determine whether help and services are needed. Most states have a toll-free number to call to report suspected child abuse and neglect. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, provides a list of Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Numbers and information on how to make a report in each state.https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/faq/can6

starting off the definition of child abuse is “physical maltreatment or sexual molestation of a child.” vary foreword on what abuse is but i can also mean mental, physical, and sexual,its it missed the mental part of abuse like gas lighting a form of philological abuse were someone were one i makes another question there own sanity. the 4 types of abuse are physical, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, neglect ironically is that most neglected form of abuse in my opinion some don’t realize that doing nothing is just as bad as hitting your kid until blood drips from there skull. the symptoms of abuse can varies from noticeable to under the radar like bruises to secret rape that uncle johnny is hiding. what can you do if you think a kid is being abused well every state has a program for such suspected crimes and injustices this site Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Numbers has all the inflammation you need to stop child abuse.

young adults make up 20 million people with an STD i high number that did not expected. in 2016-2016 the percent of people with gonorrhea went up by 15.5% between the ages of 15-19 and 12.8% in ages of 20-2 showing that young adults are not being safe when it comes to sex. i couldn’t find a study on women but i found one on men on syphilis talking about how the rate of syphilis is higher then white men. the next study i found shows that young adults are more likely to get new a STD and normal ones then adult. Hiv is the most common std in young adults followed by chlamydia with 3.9%.

While sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect individuals of all ages, STDs take a particularly heavy toll on young people. CDC estimates that youth ages 15-24 make up just over one quarter of the sexually active population, but account for half of the 20 million new sexually transmitted infections that occur in the United States each year.

https://www.cdc.gov/std/life-stages-populations/adolescents-youngadults.htm

During 2016–2017, the rate of reported gonorrhea cases increased 15.5% for persons aged 15–19 years and 12.8% for persons aged 20–24 years (Table 21). In 2017, among women https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats17/adolescents.htm

Nationally, the highest rates of P&S syphilis in 2016 were observed among men aged 20–34 years,among men in the West, and among Black men

https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats16/syphilis.htm

Incidence and prevalence estimates suggest that young people aged 15–24 years acquire half of all new STDs¹ and that one in four sexually active adolescent females has an STD, such as chlamydia or human papillomavirus (HPV).² Compared with older adults, sexually active adolescents aged 15–19 years and young adults aged 20–24 years are at higher risk of acquiring STDs for a combination of behavioral, biological, and cultural reasons. For some STDs, such as chlamydia, adolescent females may have increased susceptibility to infection because of increased cervical ectopy. Cervical ectopy refers to columnar cells, which are typically found within the cervical canal, located on the outer surface of the cervix. Although this is a normal finding in adolescent and young women, these cells are more susceptible to infection. The higher prevalence of STDs among adolescents may also reflect multiple barriers to accessing quality STD prevention and management services, including inability to pay, lack of transportation, long waiting times, conflict between clinic hours and work and school schedules, embarrassment attached to seeking STD services, method of specimen collection, and concerns about confidentiality (e.g., Explanation of Benefits for services received mailed to parents or guardians) https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats17/adolescents.htm

HPV was the most common infection (18.3%), followed by chlamydia (3.9%). Moreover, in the year after having their first sexual experience and with only one sex partner, 19.2% of the teens developed an STD, Gottlieb’s group found. To counter these problems, teens need to have early sex education, Gottlieb noted

the risk of teen drinking is vary real and dangerous. 5,000 young people die by alcohol at the age of 21 that includes 1,900 drinking and driving cases. young teens that drink experiences long term negative effects effecting there brain. 300 suicides were caused by alcohol. drinking young can cause addition as an adult.

33 percent of teens have had 1 drink by the age of 18 but the legal drinking age is 21. how do these teens get the drinks maybe there parents or peer pressure. what ever the case its not OK and should be stopped. in 2015 alone 7.7 million teens reported they drank, this can have a major effect on the health of our youth. drinking is the number one health problem a bold statement but truthful one.

Many young people drink alcohol. By age 15, about 33 percent of teens have had at least 1 drink. By age 18, about 60 percent of teens have had at least 1 drink. In 2015, 7.7 million young people ages 12–20 reported that they drank alcohol beyond “just a few sips” in the past month. https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/underage-drinking

Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early an age. As a result, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in this country.

Each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking; this includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a result of homicides, 300 from suicide, as well as hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drownings (1–5).https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/AA67/AA67.htm

Adolescence, the period between the onset of puberty⁸ and the assumption of adult roles, is a time of particular vulnerability to alcohol use and its consequences for a variety of developmental reasons, some specific to the individual and others related to the biological and behavioral changes produced by adolescence itself. It also is a time when the developing brain may be particularly susceptible to long-term negative effects from alcohol use https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK44366/

Designing effective interventions for adolescents with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) presents several challenges, not the least of which is the accurate diagnosis of these disorders. Diagnostic criteria for AUDs have been derived largely from clinical and research experience with adults. When these criteria were tested among adolescents, numerous developmental differences were found that may affect the applicability of AUD criteria to this age group. Despite the absence of clear diagnostic criteria for use with adolescents, research has identified interventions that show promise for use with youth. This article examines both environmental- and individual-level approaches to underage drinking prevention, including school- and family-based programs, and macroenvironmental and multicomponent comprehensive interventions. Finally, it describes brief and complex treatment interventions. Key words: adolescent; alcohol abuse; alcohol dependence; AOD (alcohol and other drug) use pattern; diagnostic criteria; biological development; psychological development; environmental-level prevention; individual-level prevention; family intervention; school-based intervention; brief intervention; Project Northland https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh283/163-174.htm

Thermal facial imaging: Alcohol has been known to increase body temperature in the face and a potential invention has involved detection of this in 2 diverse ways: 1) using an algorithm to compare photos in a database of those drunk and sober, and 2) using an algorithm to determine whether one’s facial heat is due to heavy drinking. This could be used in airports, liquor stores, and other places to inhibit someone from getting more alcohol if they’ve already had enough.
Alcohol sensors in cars: USA Today described a new generation of technology that could involve preventing a car from operating if the driver is drunk. Researchers are considering 2 different approaches: 1) measuring BAC from someone’s breath by installing sensors mounted in front of the driver, or 2) screening alcohol through finger-tip sensors on the steering wheel and start button with an infrared light scanner.  https://www.simplerecovery.com/the-coolest-technology-inventions-related-to-alcohol/
