Teenager Drug Problem 9. nóvember 2006 12:15 Teenagers down town Reykjavík „Teenagers down to 13 years of age have drug problems,“ says Halldóra Gunnarsdóttir, the Chair of Reykjavik’s Child Welfare Board because of news about 12 - 13 year old children visiting the hospital emergency room. Halldóra says that when a child is brought to the hospital because of drug use it is reported to the Child Welfare and the parents are notified. If the child is just starting to try out drugs then the parents and school officials receive guidance on how to deal with the problem. If the child continues to use drugs then other methods are used. Often these children have some mental problems and they receive psychiatric support. „Parents receive help at home but sometimes the situation is so bad that they cannot deal with it on their own.“ Halldóra says that in many cases the Narcotics Police find these children and bring them to the emergency room. The Children Welfare therefore often receives notification from the police also. „In some cases the police investigate how the child got the substance but not in all cases.“ News News in English Mest lesið Telja Ísraelsher hafa umkringt bát Thunberg Erlent Flutningur Konukots mikið framfaraskref en skilur áhyggjur nágranna Innlent Forsetaframbjóðandi skotinn í höfuðið Erlent Grafalvarlegt ástand í LA: „Þetta eru einhverjar fasískar leikaðferðir“ Erlent Vond stjórnsýsla að teikna bara einhverja reiti á kort Innlent Björgunarsveit selur derhúfur í stíl Bandaríkjaforseta Innlent Fresta uppbyggingu verkmenntaskóla: „Þessi óvissa er fyrir neðan allar hellur“ Innlent Eftirlýstur maður handtekinn grunaður um vændiskaup Innlent Hætta með ökuskírteini í símaveski vegna Evrópureglna Innlent Vísbendingar um að síðasta vígið sé fallið Innlent
