Studies show surge in child homicides in 2020

Scientists behind two recent studies reported that the rates of homicides of children rose significantly in 2020, The New York Times reports. The rate of children injured by guns also increased as the COVID-19 pandemic spread.

The first study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, highlighted the trends in homicide rates for juveniles aged 0-17. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the rate of children killed in the U.S. increased by about 28 percent in 2020 from 2.2 per 100,000 in 2019 to 2.8 per 100,000 in 2020. Black children and children in the southern United States make up the majority of the homicides, and most of the children are brought to hospitals with gun injuries. The data also revealed that homicide is the leading cause of death for American children.

In an editorial accompanying their research, the study's authors said the data highlighted an alarming public health concern "warranting immediate attention." The team said that child homicides are becoming "more common, not less," despite being "fundamentally preventable." The rate of child homicides has been slowly rising since 2013, a decade-long trend that spiked in the first year of the pandemic. In 2020 2,058 children aged 17 and younger were homicide victims, up from 1,611 in 2019.

JAMA Pediatrics also published a research letter by pediatric surgeons at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The study compared the number of children admitted to pediatric hospitals in the period leading up to the pandemic to the period starting in April 2020 as the pandemic reached its peak. They found that the number of children seeking treatment for gun injuries increased to 2,759 after April 2020, up from 1,815 during the first period, more than a 50 percent increase.

wow, I think my point was the MORE the Govt has taken over parenting........and all the social programs that come along with that........the worse things have gotten.

But it's somehow the gun's fault still? Very weird

I look at them as inanimate objects. I feel they are useful tools.........unlike the many, many..........far too many social workers that have been failing for decades.

8 teenage girls charged with murder in deadly stabbing attack on 59-year-old man in Canada

Watch: Toronto police say eight teen girls charged with stabbing death of 59-year-old manScroll back up to restore default view.
Eight teenage girls have been charged with murder in Canada in the stabbing death of a 59-year-old man in what police described as a "swarming" attack.

Toronto police responded to a call of assault near York Street and University Avenue shortly after midnight Sunday and found the victim with life-threatening injuries, the Toronto Police Service said in a news release.

He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly afterward. Police haven’t shared his name pending notification of his family. They said he was a Toronto resident.

Authorities said they learned the victim was assaulted and stabbed by a group of teenage girls, and eight teens were arrested nearby.

The girls — three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds and two 16-year-olds — have each been charged with second-degree murder, and they appeared in court at Old City Hall on Sunday, police said.

They have been remanded into custody and are scheduled to reappear in court Dec. 29, Detective Sgt. Terry Browne said at a news conference Tuesday.

He said the girls were in the area by 10:30 p.m. Saturday and alleged that they were involved in an altercation earlier, before the attack on the 59-year-old man.

He described the group's behavior in the fatal attack as “swarming,” which is when three or more people identify a target to victimize.

"Historically, this has involved a group of adolescent males who may do this to obtain something from the victim (i.e., nice running shoes, cellphones, etc.) or, on occasion, as part of a ritual for inclusion into a gang, as two examples,” he said.

The victim had entered the city's shelter system in the late fall, Browne said.

"He does have a very supportive family in the area. I wouldn’t necessarily call him homeless, maybe just recently on some hard luck,” he said.

Browne said that the eight girls come from different parts of the city and that they met one another through social media.

“We don’t know how or why they met on that evening and why the destination was downtown Toronto. We don’t know how long they have been acquainted together with each other. I wouldn’t describe them as a gang at this point,” he said.

Three of the girls had previous contact with Toronto police before the incident Sunday, while the five others did not, Browne said.

“A number of weapons were secured,” he said, without disclosing what they were.

Police ask the public to help with information about the group and to submit photo and video evidence if possible

Remember a decade or so back this was common in japan-teens attacking homeless. We had it as well, didn't we?

The article is a piece of propaganda trying to place the blame on guns. That Canadian piece just shows you guns are not even necessary all the time.

Your gun policies have failed. Your gun free zones have only made softer targets. But keep pressing forward until you get to the total ban that you've been claiming all along was never the intention.

Like the laws against murder or theft or anything else has STOPPED ALL CRIME.

So gun laws work as well as any law, don't they?

Exactly my point. We don't need 1001 laws against murder. The first one should have been sufficient.

Again, exactly my point. But the politicians feel they need to look busy and appear as if they've accomplished something real when they haven't.

Peanut butter jars set off airport alarm in New York, TSA says. Now, a man is arrested

Fri, December 23, 2022 at 3:09 PM PST

Jars of peanut butter stashed in a traveler’s checked luggage at a New York City airport triggered an alarm which resulted in his arrest.

On Thursday, Dec. 22 , TSA officers at John F. Kennedy International Airport opened the checked bag after it set off an alarm when passing through an X-ray, according to a statement from the agency.

They removed two jars of JIF creamy peanut butter from the luggage, each of which contained pieces of a dismantled semi-automatic handgun “artfully concealed inside,” the agency stated

The parts, including a magazine loaded with .22 caliber bullets, were encased in plastic and shoved into the peanut butter, according to the agency.

When they found the weapon, officials contacted police who confiscated the gun parts and tracked down the man who owned the luggage in an airport terminal, the agency stated. The man, a resident of Rhode Island, was arrested.

“Our officers are good at their jobs and are focused on their mission—especially during the busy holiday travel period,” John Essig, the TSA’s federal security director for JFK Airport, stated.

The man, whose name has not been released, could be slapped with a civil penalty of up to $15,000, according to the TSA.

In order for firearms to be legally transported on a plane, they need to be placed in checked baggage, properly packed and unloaded, and declared at the check-in counter, the agency stated. The person checking the weapon must also have a proper permit.

Earlier this year, officials at an airport in Pennsylvania discovered vape canisters and plastic-wrapped marijuana concealed in a jar of peanut butter after an alarm was triggered, according to previous reporting from McClatchy News.

So far in 2022, 6,301 firearms have been intercepted at airport security checkpoints, surpassing the previous record in 2021, according to the TSA. Eighty-eight percent of the firearms found were loaded

Do people normally put disassembled gun parts in plastic & hide them in jars of peanut butter?

They can transport guns.

In order for firearms to be legally transported on a plane, they need to be placed in checked baggage, properly packed and unloaded, and declared at the check-in counter, the agency stated. The person checking the weapon must also have a proper permit

So one can FOLLOW THE RULES to transport one's gun.

So far in 2022, 6,301 firearms have been intercepted at airport security checkpoints, surpassing the previous record in 2021, according to the TSA. Eighty-eight percent of the firearms found were loaded

Why are they trying to defy the rules to SMUGGLE LOADED guns onto planes?

Those stats are likely thru November as December isn't over so almost 600 guns PER MONTH?

Earlier this year, officials at an airport in Pennsylvania discovered vape canisters and plastic-wrapped marijuana concealed in a jar of peanut butter after an alarm was triggered, according to previous reporting from McClatchy News.

So they could just add PB to the list of banned product.
Trust your PB to the mail system

Or smuggle fentanyl in PB.

I thought I posted that new record gun seizures at the airport recently? Crazy, right? Are they testing the security? Just THAT f'n stupid? Unaware that x-rays go thru peanut butter and see metal guns?

There are rules that can be followed to transport a gun. But do you remember me posting a video a long time ago about the TSA stealing a woman's gun? The thievery that goes on in airports is crazy, too.

And you wonder why, when it comes to both guns or drugs, I feel we've got more than enough laws.........they just suck at enforcing them.

Dude, there's the sheer numbers angle.

There are always more people trying to break the law than enforce it.

Look at you at the self checkout.

That's true...........but there are plenty of other crimes with far less odds of getting caught in the act, imo  It's a X-Ray machine.  

I know that they know........and they know that I know that they know. But as I've said, if the corporate mentality these days is to not even stop outright thieves.......why would they hassle a paying customer that continues to shop for other things?

He believes schools are raising children, not parents.
Therefore children have no morals because somehow the government is indoctrination them to be soulless monsters.

He also believes government controls businesses so all those businesses collection our data for themselves to sell to others is being collected at the government's request.

But all this is his belief.
