Stolen Catalyic Converters
SUMMARY: The Genesis and Light Center had the catalytic converters stolen from three of their buses. The theft cost them thousands of dollars, money that could have gone towards their programs. The Jackson Police Department (JPD) says this type of theft is on the rise, with catalytic converter thefts increasing by 300% nationwide in the past year. JPD offers tips to prevent these thefts, such as parking in a locked garage or well-lit area, painting the catalytic converter a bright color, or etching the license plate number on it.

Children's mental health
SUMMARY: Children's mental health is at an urgent state, with rates of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts on the rise. Factors such as genetics, physical health, poverty, and adverse childhood events contribute to mental health struggles. The increase in social media usage among kids has also been linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression. Parents are encouraged to have open conversations about mental health, look out for signs of mental health struggles in their children, and prioritize their own mental health as well. Early childhood is critical in building a strong mental health foundation for children. It is important to seek help from primary doctors and mental health professionals when needed.
A pediatric doctor and a licensed professional counselor have seen the state of children's mental health reach a crisis point for more than a decade.
