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 Skæður hakkarahópur herjar á framlínustarfsmenn Innlent Íbúðin í rúst eftir Airbnb-gesti Innlent Elon Musk stofnar nýjan stjórnmálaflokk Erlent Fjörutíu og þrír látnir og umfangsmiklar leitarðagerðir standa yfir Erlent Leynileg neyðarfjárveiting Dana til flugvallagerðar á Grænlandi Erlent Leitar að eiganda trúlofunarhrings sem fannst í fjöru Innlent „Býsna margt orðið grænmerkt“ Innlent Konan er fundin Innlent Fjarlægðu sprengju við Keflavíkurflugvöll Innlent Vilja að nemendur borgi allt að 180 þúsund til að skrá sig Innlent
