(CNN) The day they wheeled 2-year-old Baelyn Schwab into surgery to get a new liver, her skin was orange, and she was delirious. "Her eyes didn't look like they were attached to her head anymore," her mom, Kelsea Schwab, told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "They were just rolling all over. "She would still ask for bananas and ask for juice and ask for snuggles, kind of like she's still there, but not really," she said. Seemingly out of nowhere, Baelyn's liver had become so damaged that it could no longer clean ammonia out of her blood. She's part of a nationwide investigation by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into recent cases of sudden severe hepatitis -- or swelling of the liver -- in 109 children in 25 states and territories. There are roughly 340 more children with similar cases around the world, the, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reported on Wednesday.

States prepare for summer launch of new 988 suicide prevention number
(CNN) This summer, every state will be rolling out 988 as the new National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number to call for mental health crises -- similar to how people can call 911 for medical emergencies. But in some states, questions remain around funding the transition, staffing call centers and having response teams ready. The transition to 988 is "not optional," according to the US Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. No more than half of states have enacted or introduced legislation in preparation for 988's debut, scheduled for July 16, according to data from the National Academy for State Health Policy . "Beginning July 16 of this year, all 988 calls will be routed to the national suicide hotline, so there isn't a need for state legislation to make that critical step happen," Jodi Manz, project director of behavioral health, aging and disability at the health policy group, … [Read more...] about States prepare for summer launch of new 988 suicide prevention number
Center Created To Prevent Child Sexual Abuse Hires Professor Who Left Last Job After Defending Pedophilia
Johns Hopkins University announced a professor who defended pedophilia would be joining its child sexual abuse prevention center. The university’s Moore Center for Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced on Twitter Thursday that former Old Dominion University (ODU) professor Allyn Walker would be joining as a postdoctoral fellow on May 25. Walker garnered national attention in November over his claims it is not immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children. ODU placed Walker on immediate administrative leave on Nov. 16 due to the negative backlash and disruptive “reactions” from the university community. On Nov. 25, ODU announced Walker would be stepping down from his position.

What Courts Need To Understand About Victims Of Domestic Violence
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Domestic Violence Victims and their Abusers Why do victims reach out to their abusers? Those in an abusive relationship may go through periods of calm between incidents of violence. Victims sometimes cope by focusing on their perpetrator's loving side and shutting out the abuse, maintaining contact to elicit affirmative behavior or financial support from the abuser. They may also rely on the abusive person to fulfill emotional needs. They may feel shame or a sense of failure. In one particular case, the courtship was short (less than a year during the pandemic) and against the advice of friends and family, the couple married. The wife stayed silent about the abuse, in part, due to religious reasons— she is deeply religious, and divorce is not acceptable in her religion. During the litigation for the order of protection, the husband complained that the wife had sexual intercourse with him during litigation … [Read more...] about What Courts Need To Understand About Victims Of Domestic Violence
How To Close The Venture Capital Gender Gap Faster
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Allison Robinson, the founder and chief executive officer of The Mom Project, had difficulty raising funding for her digital talent marketplace and community that connects mothers returning to the workforce with job opportunities that offer flexibility. After more than 100 meetings with venture capitalists, she noticed a trend. “If I had to pick an example of a stark difference between pitching men versus women, it would be that many male venture capitalists didn’t fundamentally understand the problem we were solving. I made it to a number of late-stage discussions to then be passed over on the grounds of the addressable market being too small,” Robinson says, “It’s mind-boggling. There are over 40 million moms in the U.S. and 86% will change employers for an opportunity that better fits her work-life considerations.” Robinson successfully pitched the female-led, early-stage venture capital firm BBG Ventures, which only invests in … [Read more...] about How To Close The Venture Capital Gender Gap Faster
$100,000 Wine Gamble Turned Into 100-Point Scores From Top Wine Critics
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Sitting on the back porch drinking a beautiful glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, the sunset painted the sky with colors of saffron and gold; there, a veteran wine producer in Napa Valley took in the recent catastrophe that destroyed so much of his community while he contemplated the luck of no loss of human life in the disaster, and less importantly, that five of his best barrels of wine survived. All of a sudden the song "That Old Black Magic" started to play in his head, and he knew "Black Magic" would be the perfect name for those special barrels of wine as it was a "black moment" for his winery as they lost a lot of wine yet at the same time those barrels have an "aura of real magic". That moment happened after the 2014 massive 6.0-magnitude Napa Valley earthquake that violently destroyed wineries, structures and catapulted people out of their beds around 3 am. The victims were randomly selected as "some wineries lost … [Read more...] about $100,000 Wine Gamble Turned Into 100-Point Scores From Top Wine Critics
The Future Of Hybrid Schooling
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If someone would have told me that 175 people would travel to Kennesaw, Georgia to spend an entire spring Saturday meeting and talking about hybrid homeschooling, I would have told them that they were crazy. But that is exactly what happened at the first conference hosted by the National Hybrid Schools Project at Kennesaw State University. School operators, teachers, parents, researchers, funders, and other interested parties gathered to share experiences, lessons learned, and problems that they were wrestling with. Sessions devoted to topics ranging from curriculum to accreditation to funding to state policy to academic research to networking to teacher recruitment and training featured productive discussions and real-world experiences. It was an invigorating and inspiring event. But what does the future hold for hybrid homeschooling? Will this energy lead to growth and expansion? Will education snap back to some kind … [Read more...] about The Future Of Hybrid Schooling
New Research Shows Inferior Outcomes In Online College Programs
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Though its growth has been slowing and costs escalating, enrollments in online college classes and programs continue to increase. Remote or “global” programs are a staple at many, even most, colleges now - more or less taken for granted as a viable, essential part of the college learning landscape. It’s flatly remarkable, considering this pervasiveness and acceptance, that we know so little about the learning outcomes of online college. More than two years ago, I asked the question , “What if Online Education Simply Doesn’t Work?” and laid out some evidence that is now generally accepted - that those who are the least prepared and least motivated for academic work, do quite badly in online settings. I also pointed out that the schools with the unquestionably worst outcomes - for-profit colleges - rely heavily, nearly exclusively on online programs. In fact, as of two years ago, two of every three students enrolled at … [Read more...] about New Research Shows Inferior Outcomes In Online College Programs
