A perfect storm of murder, addiction and carelessness has fueled a recent and troubling increase in deaths among U.S. children and teens, a new government report shows.
The total death rate for those aged 10 to 19 rose 12 percent between 2013 and 2016, mostly due to an increase in deaths from accidental injury, homicide and suicide, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.
In short, the United States is becoming less safe for teenagers.
The primary causes of injury deaths were
motor vehicle accidents,
suicide, firearms-related murders and
drug overdoses, the report discovered.
"For children in the U.S., the rate of deaths has increased recently, and it's from a multitude of these injury death causes," said report author Sally Curtin, a statistician with the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. "You can't just say it's suicide or homicide. It really is a combination of causes."
Comment: Roseanne Barr has always been a bit of a mixed bag. She's been known to talk about MK Ultra, child trafficking, and prosecuting the banksters. But how does someone go from being anti-Zionist to enthusiastic pro-Zionist in such a short period of time? While she clearly isn't afraid to speak her mind, Roseanne is clearly lacking in discernment.
