After having trouble conceiving on their own, a white couple opted for in-vitro fertilization and gave birth to a baby girl. When their daughter was a toddler, they grew concerned that she didn't look like them."When she was born, all my friends said, 'Oh, she looks Asian, she looks Asian,'" said Kristina Koedderich, the girl's mother. "We were cracking the jokes... but you just figure every baby, like, looks different when they're born."For nearly four years, Koedderich and her now ex-husband Drew Wasilewski have been wondering who is their daughter's biological father.Koedderich gave birth to her daughter in 2013. When the girl was about 2 years old, the mother said she noticed her daughter's features were different than hers. Then, strangers also began asking whether they had adopted her.A DNA test in 2015 confirmed that Wasilewski was not related to the girl, the lawsuit says.After getting the DNA results, the New Jersey parents said they called the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science at St. Barnabas looking for answers, but they said staff members only apologized and told them they couldn't confirm that something went wrong.Koedderich and Wasilewski filed a lawsuit accusing the Livingston, New Jersey-based fertility clinic as well as several of its employees of failing to maintain a proper chain of custody of semen samples and impregnating Koedderich with the sperm of a man who was not her husband.The defendants in the case have suggested that an extramarital affair led to the birth of the girl, according to a court order compelling the defense to produce records.Dr. John Garrisi, the director of embryology laboratory at the clinic, said in a deposition conducted in March that the procedure was done correctly."Mr. Wasilewski's sperm was used for the insemination of Mrs. Wasilewski's (Koedderich) eggs." Garrisi said in the deposition.Ronn Torossian, a spokesman for the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science, told CNN the clinic does not comment on individual patient matters but said they are taking the case "very seriously.""We are an organization comprised of passionate, dedicated medical professionals whose singular mission is to help our patients build their families," Torossian said in a statement. "The integrity of our treatment processes are paramount and we are taking this matter very seriously. As such, we are thoroughly examining the alleged incident, which is said to have occurred in 2012."Lawyers representing the other defendants did not return CNN's requests for comment.Koedderich and Wasilewski are also alleging the fertility clinic and the rest of the defendants failed to properly test Koedderich and inform her of the improper fertilization, according to the filing.In addition to their daughter not being Wasilewski's biological child, the parents' lawsuit cites the defendants' negligence as a reason for the breakdown of their marriage and raises the possibility that Wasilewski could have numerous other biological children that he's not aware of, the document states."If they are out there, I want to tell them who I am ... who their grandmother is and who their grandfather is," Waskilewski said.Last month, Superior Court Judge Keith Lynott ordered the clinic to maintain all records and identities of the semen donors who used the facility around the time Koedderich was impregnated, court documents show.The case is still pending."She's the most adorable little kid," Wasilewski said. "I want to be there as long as I can. But it still doesn't make it right what happened."Their daughter may be too young to understand what is happening, but when she's ready, no matter what happens, Koedderich and Wasilewski say they want her to see they did everything they could to find the truth. 3792
A school employee wearing a traditional pink Alaska Native smock called a kuspuk breezed through the hubbub in the cafeteria adorned with murals of purely Alaska scenes, zigzagging through children clutching presents and past uniformed soldiers wearing Santa caps.“Napakiak is happy today,” she proclaimed to principal Sally Benedict.That’s a rare emotion of late for the 300 or so residents of this western Alaska community. “We’re falling into the Kuskokwim River,” Benedict explains, because of erosion that is forcing everyone to move their town further inland.But for one day earlier this month, the Alaska National Guard gave folks a reason to smile, thanks to its “Operation Santa Claus” program, which featured the jolly old elf himself distributing gifts to the children.“This lightens the load,” said Benedict, a former Detroit educator who arrived last summer. “This is sunshine for us, it’s a brightening of our day.”Now in its 63rd year, Operation Santa Claus has become a rarity among National Guard units. Defense officials have shut down the program everywhere but Alaska, where the mission survives because the state is so large and some communities are so remote.The program started in 1956 when the residents of St. Mary’s, Alaska, had no money to buy children Christmas presents after flooding severely impacted hunting and fishing. Since then, Guard members try to visit at least two rural communities a year, delivering Christmas gifts and other needed supplies. They’ve been to remote burgs with names like Koyukuk, Savoonga, Illiamna, Kwethluk and Tuntuliak. The visit to Napakiak involved two aircraft: a 400-mile (644-kilometer) trip in a small airplane from Anchorage, then a five-minute helicopter ride to the village.“We love this, we truly love coming here,” said Maj. Gen. Torrence Saxe, the adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard who found himself topping ice cream sundaes with cherries for the revelers in Napakiak. “This is a proud tradition.”The Guard isn’t the only Santa’s helper in the nation’s largest state.The Salvation Army is celebrating its 50th year of helping the Guard, collecting gifts, book bags and other items to be distributed. Major corporate sponsors like Costco and Walmart contribute to the program, and Rich Owens for years has provided the ice cream from his Tastee Freez restaurant in Anchorage.“It’s a labor of love,” said John Brackenbury, the Alaska divisional commander of The Salvation Army.Erosion caused by the Kuskokwim, a 700 miles-long (1,125-kilometers) river that becomes an ice highway for travelers in the winter, has been an ongoing problem in Napakiak, but the pace has accelerated in the past few years.This year alone, erosion has been responsible for more than 100 feet (30 meters) of lost shoreline.In September, the village school’s 10 fuel tanks were relocated by barge across the river to the nearby town of Bethel after being threatened by aggressive riverbank erosion.Erosion also threatens the school, which sits less than 200 feet (60 meters) feet from the river. The Lower Kuskokwim School District needs to move the school, but local officials say finding money for a new school has been challenging.River erosion also threatened Napakiak’s firehouse and city garage, so those structures were moved in July.The village also has applied for permits to relocate the boat harbor, which was destroyed by storms in May. The five-year plan, Benedict said, is to move everyone to the other side of an air strip. But at least for one day, the residents of Napakiak didn’t have to worry about the erosion creeping ever closer to their homes, and instead could focus on the smiles or even smudges of chocolate from the ice cream sundaes on their children’s faces.Marcus Billy thought he received a basketball, but he became a little confused when he saw it was lime green and not orange. It was only when all the wrapping paper was off that he was sure. When asked if he was happy with that, he said, “Yeah!” before running off to play.___Associated Press writer Rachel D’Oro in Anchorage, Alaska, contributed to this report. 4123

About 1 out of 5 high school students in the U.S. say they vaped marijuana in the past year, and its popularity has been booming faster than nicotine vaping, according to a report released Wednesday.“The speed at which kids are taking up this behavior is very worrisome,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the federal agency that pays for the large annual teen survey.Electronic cigarettes and other battery-powered vaping devices mostly heat a liquid containing nicotine into a vapor that’s inhaled, In recent years, they have been increasingly used to vaporize THC, the chemical that gives pot its high.The University of Michigan survey asks students in grades 8, 10 and 12 across the country about smoking, drinking and drugs. About two-thirds of this year’s 42,000 participants were asked about vaping marijuana.Vaping nicotine is still more popular: about 1 in 4 high schoolers said they had done it at least once in the previous year. But vaping marijuana grew more quickly: 1 in 5 high schoolers had done it at least once the year before.About 1 in 7 high school seniors this year were considered current users of marijuana vaping — they had vaped in the month before they took the survey. That’s almost doubled from 1 in 13 the year before.Overall, marijuana use — in all its forms — is holding steady. It’s not clear if students are switching to vaping or continuing to use other forms as well, said Richard Miech, who oversees the survey.Daily marijuana use rose in both middle school and high school kids in 2019, and “if you want to be a daily marijuana user, vaping makes it easier,” he said.It’s odorless and slips easily into a pocket. “You can just kind of graze on that all day,” he said.The survey is in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which also published results of a different survey in 2018 that showed an increase in marijuana vaping among middle and high school students.Both have limitations: the surveys rely on what kids say, and it does not include teens who are not in school. Federal and state laws ban minors from using marijuana recreationally, and prohibits sale of vaping products to kidsThe Michigan survey was conducted earlier this year, before reports of a surge in cases of vaping-related lung damage, mostly in teens and young adults who used black-market THC products.Volkow said the illnesses “may scare some teenagers away” from vaping marijuana.The survey also found most other forms of teen drug use are flat or declining, including alcohol, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine, and meth. An exception was LSD, which has been increasing in 10th and 12th graders. About 3.6% of high school seniors said they’d dropped acid in the previous year.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives 2797
Acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli defended a change in the process for children of some federal employees and members of the US armed forces living overseas to gain US citizenship, saying it was done to comply with the law and stressing that it doesn't take away any avenue to become a citizen."What was going on before was that the USCIS approach to working these children up to be citizens was not consistent with the State Department's or the law, so we were acting illegally," Cuccinelli said Thursday in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash.The policy change released Wednesday sparked confusion among the military and diplomatic communities, which were concerned that it would place hurdles before the children of federal employees and military workers serving abroad. As a result, the alert was met with an immediate backlash, as lawyers and groups tried to parse what it meant and who it affected.Cuccinelli has since conducted several interviews, and US Citizenship and Immigration Services hosted a call with reporters on the change Thursday.The guidance does not make anyone ineligible for citizenship. USCIS officials have since explained that it changes the paperwork that some families whose children are born overseas will have to fill out."These are children born who when they were born were not US citizens who are trying to be made US citizens by their parents, and it's the paperwork they have to file. That's it," Cuccinelli said Thursday."What was happening and what's happening now is you get your documentation from USCIS and you can go to State Department, bring that child and they wouldn't give them a passport as a US citizen because they weren't legally qualified as a US citizen," Cuccinelli said. "Now all of that will mesh together correctly."A State Department official told CNN that USCIS and the State Department had been working together for some time to align the application of certain terms "when adjudicating acquisition of citizenship claims" under various sections of immigration law.US citizenship can be acquired a few ways, including being born in the country. Children born abroad can acquire citizenship through their US citizen parents either at birth or before the age of 18.A USCIS official said Thursday that children born overseas to two US citizen parents would be citizens "automatically.""Two US citizen parents who have a child born overseas -- that child is a citizen automatically. Period," an official told CNN.The agency said it expects that around 20 to 25 people a year will be affected by the rule change. A Defense Department official estimated that about 100 people annually would be affected.The public uproar and ensuing confusion come in light of President Donald Trump occasionally voicing his support for ending birthright citizenship. Last week, Trump said he was "seriously" considering ending it, though it's unclear how he'd have the legal authority to do so. Cuccinelli said Wednesday on Twitter that the new policy "does NOT impact birthright citizenship."The policy becomes effective on October 29. 3121
A Northeast Ohio couple is suing a day care in Bay Village, claiming staff members held down their son and physically restrained him because he wouldn't take a nap.The lawsuit lists as defendants the day care itself, Bay Village Kiddie Kollege, as well as the owner of the day care, the administrator and three employees believed to be involved in the incident.January 17, 2019On January 17, 2019, Melissa Laubenthal was in her kitchen with her six-week-old son when her husband, Will Kesling, came home with their toddler son and told her they had to look at him right away.When Kesling picked up his son, who was nearly 2.5 years old, at Bay Village Kiddie Kollege, the day care he'd attended since he was three months old, he said his son was sitting with a teacher, crying. He said that the teacher said there was a "sheet up front for him," which Kesling assumed was an incident report, typically given to a parent when "your kid bumps their head or gets a scratch," Kesling said.When he went to put the child's coat on, he saw "giant bruises on his neck.""I’m like, 'What are these?' And she’s like, 'Well, there’s a sheet up front,'" Kesling said. "I was like kind of perplexed. I’m like, well, this is odd, normally you get an explanation."Another teacher up front, Kesling said, suggested that "maybe he did that himself, maybe he pinched himself" about his son's injuries."I was just dumbfounded," Kesling said.What happened nextKesling and Laubenthal fed their son dinner as Laubenthal called the day care for an explanation."'What happened, can you give me any answers here?' I got the run-around," Laubenthal said. "They wouldn’t be straightforward with me."The couple took photos of the child's injuries, then took him to the emergency room to be checked out. He later spent the night at the hospital."He had bruises on his face, on his neck, on his shoulders and on his back," Laubenthal said, recounting the incident nearly a year later and choking up."I was furious and then [the day care] tried to sweep it under the rug," Kesling said. "They tried to do an observation report as if he came to school this way and you sent him that way."The lawsuit, and the day care's responseThe lawsuit, filed by attorney Hannah Klang on behalf of the family, claims a police investigation found that staff used physical restraints and abuse because the child wouldn't take a nap.An investigation by Bay Village police narrowed down the time frame in which the child's injuries occurred, but because a security camera system in the day care was not recording on January 17, police noted in a report that they were not able to determine which exact individual caused the injuries and that there was not sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against the three day care staff members involved.The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services said that if events happened as the day care center described them, then the incident wouldn't rise to the level of needing to be reported to the state.A January 29, 2019 inspection by ODJFS investigating the complaint about that incident could not substantiate that a staff member caused bruising to the child but did substantiate a "derogatory comment."The owner of Bay Village Kiddie Kollege, who is one of the defendants listed in the lawsuit, gave News 5 a statement by phone, saying, "The safety of our children is our number one concern, and it has been for 47 years. We have not yet received the complaint and will continue to respect the privacy of our children, families and employees. Unable to comment further at this point."The aftermathKesling and Laubenthal said their son was traumatized after the incident."Regression in terms of his speech and bedtime and potty and all of the things that he was able to do well. It was really hard," Laubenthal said.Laubenthal added that her son had seen a sleep specialist and play therapist but also experienced night terrors. He is now back in a day care setting, according to his parents, but they don't know what the long-term effects of this incident might be."I don’t know what he really remembers and that’s what’s so scary about this, so we don’t know what we’re dealing with," Laubenthal said. "But my hope is that he would be a happy, well-adjusted little guy."That also makes it difficult to ask for damages in a case like this, according to attorney Hannah Klang."One of the toughest parts about a case like this is that you’re dealing with a child who has now had an adverse child experience," Klang said. "You don’t know how that’s going to materialize later on in life, so you don’t know what treatment he’s going to end up needing later on."For now, these parents want someone to answer for what happened to their child."People pay good money and trust this place with the care of their little ones," Kesling said. "It makes you really angry." 4873
