The trend doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon though. So far, D.C. area police have recorded 46 carjackings in early February alone.

Parents of students attending Chicago’s Andrew Jackson Language Academy were shocked to discover that 5th graders are slated to study “the pleasures of anal sex.” Chicago Public Schools spokesman Bill McCaffrey characterized the parents’ reactions as “excessively dramatic” and “not well thought out. It’s our job to help prepare our students for life in the real world.

Many college courses, even on major campuses, make rainy-day activities at summer camp seem profound. Such...

Many of the children are buying the drug at school and snorting it through hollowed-out pens, according to officials at local drug treatment centers. Dallas' three private treatment centers for youngsters can't keep up with the demand for bed space and are placing underage drug users on waiting lists. Part of the problem is that the city has bed space for just 58 children, officials said. "To see 11-, 12- and...

It's Saturday night, and as one group of 12-year-old girls prepares to head out for a night at an all-ages dance in Toronto's nightclub core, another group of preteens is busy fussing over their expensive gowns and shoes and wheedling their parents to arrange a limousine for their Grade 8 graduation.
