The more than 5,000 law enforcement leaders around the nation who are members of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, have long known that the hours immediately after school lets out, when parents are likely not available to supervise, are the prime-time for juvenile crime. Over the past 20 years, law enforcement leaders across the country have relied on high-quality afterschool programs to provide supportive, stable, and enriching environments with caring adults that keep children and youth out of trouble and safe, while supporting their academic success, and social and emotional development.

To determine when exactly juvenile crime peaks, we analyzed both FBI data and data provided by our law enforcement members on school-day crime rates for youth in 46 states. We found that the majority of states for which we had data (36) had a spike in crime during the after school hours from 2 to 6 p.m., as shown in the map below.

Today, at a Rose Garden event, President Clinton is joined by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Attorney General Janet Reno, Secretary of Education Richard Riley, Senator James Jeffords (R-VT), and Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA) in announcing new grants to establish and expand after-school programs across the country through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. The President will also release a report by the Departments of Justice and Education which shows that after-school programs can work to lower juvenile crime rates, reduce tobacco, drug, and alcohol use among children and improve academic performance.A Demand For After-School Programs. Reports show that over 28 million school-age children have both parents, or their only parent in the workforce. At least 5 million, and possibly as many as 15 million children are left alone at home each week. Incidents of violent crime by juveniles more than double in the hour after most schools let out and our children are at the greatest risk of being the victim of a violent crime in the hours immediately after school lets out. Experts agree that school-age children who are unsupervised during the hours after school are far more likely to use drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, commit crimes, receive poor grades and drop out of school than those who are involved in supervised, constructive activities.A Presidential Plan For Action. Today, the President announces new grants to establish 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school programs for our nation's children. The grants will be disbursed to 315 schools in 36 states who will provide programs for children after school, and during the weekends and summers, in safe, drug-free and supervised environments. This was one of the most competitive grant programs ever managed by the Department of Education; over 2,000 applications were received, but only 1 of 20 applicants could be funded.After-School Programs Can Reduce Juvenile Crime And Boost Academic Performance. The President will release a new report issued by the Departments of Justice and Education, which shows the positive effects after-school programs can have on children:Many communities that have adopted after-school initiatives have experienced lower juvenile crime rates and lower tobacco, drug, and alcohol use among young people;Quality after-school programs improve academic performance -- helping more children stay in school, increasing aspirations for college, and lowering the number of children who must be kept back.A Child Care Agenda For The 21st Century. The President's child care agenda proposes a dramatic investment in the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program to benefit up to one-half million children each year. The President's proposal requires that schools work closely with community organizations in establishing these programs, and provides funding for community-based organizations to establish or expand their own after-school programs. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is part of the President's historic child care initiative to help families pay for child care, improve the safety and quality of care, and promote early learning. 21st Century Community Learning Centers: 1998 Awards

My daughter Amanda (F13) has Cerebral Palsy. She is able to walk independently but cannot walk for long periods of time and cannot walk on anything other than even ground without assistance (i.e stairs have to have rails, can't walk on rocks/sand/etc). She has an IEP for this - that states what she can and cannot do in PE, excursions, etc. It's relevant to note that Amanda catches the bus home - but can only catch a specific route as the other route the school offers drops her off at a road about a mile away that has no footpath.

I got a call at work at 11am today telling me that Amanda had spoken quite rudely to a substitute PE (gym) teacher who tried to make her climb the rock wall that her school has. Apparently Amanda did say "I can't, I have Cerebral Palsy and I have an IEP" but when another child said "Yeah! Same here!" the teacher didn't believe her and became insistent - standing over her so Amanda told him to "fuck off" and wouldn't repeat anything but "fuck off" until she was sent to the office.

It is in the handbook that this type of offence is a same day after school detention. But when the Principal called me I said "absolutely not". I told them that they were welcome to do a weeks worth of lunch detentions, or even schedule it so that I can change my work schedule - but absolutely not this afternoon. My husband is away for work, I have to work until 6pm and I need Amanda to be on her regular bus because I have nobody who can drop her off home at 4:30 when detention finishes. They told me about the "late" bus and I reminded them why Amanda couldn't take that bus and was told "well, sounds like a natural consequence to me". This isn't your average kid refusing to do something, being rude and deserving a long walk home as well as detention. This is a kid that could be seriously harmed if she was made to walk that far and on that road.

The Principal told me that I was "making excuses" and that Amanda needed to face consequences and I didn't technically need to give permission - they were making me aware. I agree that Amanda needs to face consequences for her language (which are that she's grounded for the weekend, and has to serve any lunch detention the school gives her and apologising to the teacher for specifically her language - nothing else) - but putting her in danger is NOT right and that if they were insistent on this - I was insistent on taking my lunch break right now to drive over and pull her out for the rest of the day. (EDIT: The school called back and said she had 2 days of lunch detention - but my sister who lives interstate thinks I'm being one of "those" mums and told me I was in the wrong, hence posting) AITA?

Edit to update: I have since ungrounded Amanda and apologised and told her that I acted irrationally out of stress and anger at the school in the situation. I also told her it's up to her regarding the apology.

Last week, the ACLU sent a letter to the district asking Saucon Valley to allow the club to meet at the district middle school. It argued the First Amendment requires all religious groups to have equal access to school facilities when a limited public forum is created; the district allows another religious group, the Good News Club, to use space.

The initial announcement that the club would rent district space touched off a week of controversy that included school closures because of a shooting threat over the issue; a North Carolina man was arrested last week on charges related to the threats, which referenced the club.

It can last all school year but is more common in the first few months, and Lapointe says it tends to subside as kids fully adjust to the change in environment and schedule, and feel less physically and emotionally spent at the end of the day.

Many families rely on cell phones to keep schedules organized, do online research, communicate with each other and create peace of mind. After all, when kids have cell phones, parents or emergency services are a simple call or text away. But with all the positives of cell phones come negatives, too, including how much they can distract kids and that they may give unfettered access to questionable content on the internet. Many people find themselves wondering where to draw the line when it comes to how and where kids are allowed to use their phones. One of the biggest questions is: Should cell phones be allowed in school?

A smartphone can not only replace paper and pen but sometimes a textbook and a computer printer (and pricey ink) since it can download and store information and documents. Plus, it may even be a good substitute for some calculators or tablets, says Mckinnie.

For parents not ready to give their kids an iPhone or Android, there are other options that can allow your child to communicate with you when they need to. For example, instead of a smartphone, Jen sends her daughter to school with a Gizmo watch, which allows a child to call parents and send text messages but not have access to the internet or apps.

Anna A., a mom in Winnetka, Illinois, gives her third-grader a Relay, which is a screen-free mobile phone that operates similarly to a walkie-talkie. This gives her peace of mind when her daughter walks and bikes to school with friends.
