Don’t spank: Pediatricians warn parents of long-term harms By LINDSEY TANNER Associated Press The nation’s leading pediatricians’ group has strengthened its advice against spank- ing and other physical punishment because of the potential for long-term harm. In an updated policy released Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics says that can include aggression, brain changes, substance abuse and suicidal behavior in adulthood. The academy says research since its 1998 discipline policy led to the update. It says spanking is falling out of favor among parents, especially those with young chil- dren.

Feds say heroin, fentanyl remain biggest drug threat to US WASHINGTON (AP) — Drug overdose deaths hit the highest level ever recorded in the United States last year, with an esti- mated 200 people dying per day, according to a report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Most of that was the result of a record number of opioid-related deaths. Preliminary figures show more than 72,000 people died in 2017 from drug overdoses across the country. About a week ago, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said overdose deaths, while still slowly rising, were beginning to level off, citing figures from late last year and early this year. The DEA’s National Drug Threat Assessment, which was released Friday, shows that heroin, fentanyl and other opioids continue to be the highest drug threat in the nation. But federal officials are concerned that methamphetamine and cocaine are being seen at much higher levels in areas that haven’t historically been hotspots for those drugs. The DEA is also worried that peo- ple are exploiting marijuana legalization to traffic cannabis into the illicit market or to states that don’t have medicinal or recre- ational-use marijuana laws, according to the report. The preliminary data also showed 49,060 people died from opioid-related overdose deaths, a rise from the reported 42,249 opioid overdose deaths in 2016. President Donald Trump has declared the U.S. opioid crisis as a “public health emergency” and just last week pledged to put an “extremely big dent” in the scourge of drug addiction. Fatal heroin overdoses rose nationwide between 2015 and In this Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 file photo, a pedestrian talking on a cellphone is silhouetted in front of a fountain in 2016, with a nearly 25 percent increase in the Northeast and more Philadelphia.
