Health watchdog NICE reveals 'landmark' better care for those exposed to alcohol in womb
Health watchdog NICE has revealed a “landmark” initiative today to vastly improve the care of those exposed to alcohol in the womb.Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) affects around 3% of the UK population - three times as many as autism - yet more than half of Brits (53%) have NEVER heard of it.FASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that arises from alcohol exposure in the womb, with 428 associated conditions linked to “devastating consequences” - from brain damage to physical and developmental issues.Today, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) said that any child thought to have been exposed should be given an assessment.Any child confirmed to have been exposed should be sent for a neurodevelopmental assessment, and those confirmed to have FASD should be given a management plan for their needs.It also said women should be given early advice not to drink in their pregnancy, and have their alcohol consumption noted on records.This is part of a 20-year fight by campaigners and families living with FASD, who feel they have been largely “unsupported”.The spokeswoman for National Organisation for FASD, Joanna Buckard, said: “The NICE Quality Standard is a major leap forward in the fight to reduce alcohol-exposed pregnancies by giving women the information and support they need and, vitally, to create brighter futures for those with FASD and their families.“Too many people with FASD up to now have been left undiagnosed and unsupported, with sometimes devastating and avoidable consequences.”Professor Raja Mukherjee, who heads the FASD National Specialist Clinic and was on the NICE Quality Standard Committee, said: “FASD is a complex condition which affects brain and body.“There are over 428

3 charged after NJ teen found with dog shock collar around neck, police say
STRATFORD, N.J. - Three people are facing charges after a Camden County teenager was found with a dog shock collar around her neck, according to Stratford police. Authorities say the 13-year-old girl's neighbor reported the incident on March 1. When officers responded, they observed markings on the teen's neck consistent with wearing the collar, police say. The teen was transported to Jefferson Hospital while detectives interviewed her family, police say. She told detectives that a relative put the collar around her neck and shocked her multiple times before, police say. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES The New Jersey Department of Child Protection and Permanency removed the teen from the Camden County home after she was released from the hospital, according to authorities. Police say the teen's guardian said she did not know about the shock collar or that the teen ran away to the neighbor's house.During a forensic interview, the teen told detectives a relative first used the dog shock collar on her when she was nine, police say. According to authorities, the teen also told detectives the shock collar was sometimes used as a form of punishment and that she was deprived of food and clothing at times. Police say a witness who also lives at the same residence said they observed the shock collar used as a form of punishment and saw the teen be deprived of amenities numerous times. Three of the teen's relatives face several charges, including aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child, according to Stratford Police.
