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 Kona réðst að sjö ára dreng við Smáraskóla Innlent Eiginmaður íslenskrar konu lét sig hverfa rétt eftir brúðkaupið Innlent Hafa „góða hugmynd“ hvar og hvenær stúlkunni var ráðinn bani Innlent „Það er ódýrast og best og fljótlegast að kála þessum dýrum“ Innlent „Ég hefði bara sagt af mér á staðnum“ Innlent Fundu lík karlmanns í Reynisfjalli Innlent Skerjafjarðarskáldið krefst afsökunarbeiðni – annars fer það í mál Innlent Sýndi lögreglu löngutöng og var ekinn út af Innlent Fjórir í bílnum en enginn við stýrið Innlent Búið að taka sýni úr ungu birnunni Innlent
