American Journal of Nursing Science . Vol. 4, No. 4, 2015, pp. 207-211. doi: 10.11648/j.ajns.20150404.19 Abstract: Economic and social pressures are forcing more parents into the workplace at a time when children appear to most need adult guidance and supervision. These children, in turn, face a growing number of problems such as physical and sexual abuse, crime and delinquency, depression and suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, emotional and behavioral problems, learning difficulties, school attendance problems, domestic violence, pregnancy, abortion, and venereal disease. Many "latchkey" children experience stressful and even dangerous situations without ready access to adult guidance and support. It is estimated that as many as 10 million children care for themselves before or after school. Many latchkey kids begin their self-care responsibilities at about 8 years of age. Keywords: Introduction, History, Statistics, Literatures, Exports Talk, Effects on Children, Parents Tips, Kids Safe 1. Introduction How do parents provide supervision for their school age under a mat (or some other object) at the rear door to the children when they work? School age children are sometimes property.

  • Preparing-Your-Child-To-Be-A-Latchkey-Kid.Pdf
    All over the US, children are going home after school and spending time alone until their parents get home from work. This is what a latchkey kid is. The term came about because they have their own key, usually on a chain hung from their neck, to unlock their home each day when they’re done with school. They typically have no adult supervision for two to three hours each evening while they wait for their parents to come home. There are more than four million grade-school-aged latchkey kids because there are a lot of dual-income parents and single parents in the workforce today. But this number is down from its high in the 80s when over half of all children were latchkey kids. It’s very difficult to find affordable childcare for this age group. However, before you choose to let your child become a latchkey kid, there are many things to consider - such as the laws in your area, whether your child is mature enough, and your own financial and emotional situation. Latchkey Kids and the Law If you’re considering letting your child become a latchkey kid, then you need to find out what the law is in your state, city, and county. For the most part, allowing a child to stay home before the age of 8 is not recommended or even legal today. It was done in the past with great regularity but now the laws have changed the rules for parents. Most professionals agree that children between ages 8 and 10 shouldn’t be home alone for more than a couple of hours.

    NOTICE OF 2020 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING Friday, May 15, 2020 11:00 a.m. at Seattle Genetics Corporate Headquarters Building 3 21823 – 30th Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021 Dear Fellow Shareholders: Seattle Genetics had a remarkable year in 2019 and entered 2020 as a multi-product oncology company. First, in collaboration with our partner Takeda, ADCETRIS® global sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time. ADCETRIS is an important medicine around the world for the treatment of patients with certain types of lymphoma. Second, we and our collaborator Astellas received FDA accelerated approval of PADCEVTM (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) for adult patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, potentially changing the treatment paradigm for these patients with a high unmet need. The approval expanded our commercial portfolio and will diversify our revenues from product sales, adding to a strong ADCETRIS base. And third, we reported positive results from our tucatinib HER2CLIMB-01 pivotal trial, which supported marketing applications in the United States, Europe and other countries to treat patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These submissions position tucatinib to be our third commercial product, if approved, and allow us to offer a new treatment option to thousands of patients globally who are in need of better therapies. In addition, we believe ADCETRIS, PADCEV and tucatinib have other therapeutic opportunities and are investing in broad development programs. We also continue to invest in research and development as it is the engine for our future growth. We are advancing a robust pipeline of new product candidates in clinical trials, with a focus on first-in-class or best-in-class targeted therapies for cancer.
