75% of child abuse fatalities as the outcome of caretaker neglect. Nor are the long-term consequences minor. Early neglect has been associated with widespread impairments in language, emotional self-regulation, cognition, and even in later adult physical health.

2025-03-15 17:47:04

Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment, constituting 3 of every 4 calls to Child Protective Services (CPS) and a similar percentage of substantiated cases. Though it rarely involves a deliberate attempt to harm a child, neglect is not a benign form of abuse.

Robbie Goldstein: If you see a sick bird, leave the bird alone and call the authorities so they can come and check on the bird. If you see five birds together that have all deceased or five birds together that look sick, it is very likely that that is H5N1. And so please stay away.

There must be a permit and it’s issued by the local Board of Health. So we’ve reached through the local board of health to be able to provide direct information and education to the households that have backyard flocks, and we see it actually working here in Massachusetts.

2025-03-13 06:35:37

Robbie Goldstein: It’s hard. I will admit that it’s really hard. What we found most helpful is to collaborate with agriculture, but also with our local boards of health. They actually know every backyard that has a flock. They know those individuals.

2025-03-13 06:33:28

Eric Rubin: The severe cases that have been seen do come from backyard flocks, and that I think mirrors the experience in Asia where many of poultry to human infections are in small household flocks of birds. I wonder about the challenge of doing education in this group of nonprofessional farmers.

2025-03-13 06:30:53

Things like keeping their flocks indoors and not letting them “free range”, where they might be exposed to wild birds or to the virus. Making sure that folks know how to take care of standing water on their property, which is where birds may congregate and where the virus may amplify.

2025-03-13 06:30:23

Robbie Goldstein: In Massachusetts, we do actually have a lot of backyard flocks we still need to raise awareness to make sure they understand what they can do to protect themselves.

Jennifer Shuford: ...we were seeing transmission between animals and learned that they had really high concentrations of the virus in their mammary tissue, and therefore was being transmitted into the milk, and we could see it move between animals.

2025-03-13 05:46:23

Jennifer Shuford: There are policies and procedures in place now to test herds that are planning to move, and so before they can move, they have to have a negative H5N1 test, and that has helped decrease some of that transmission through a movement of cattle.

Trump has said he will pay for the dips in revenue with aggressive new tariffs that economists warn will lead to higher prices for consumers.
