For the most part, the days of “stranger danger” — the fear that an unknown assailant will sexually assault a victim — are behind us.

The parents of an infant who police say was hurt by a daycare worker are speaking out. They did what many parents do; they dropped their son off at daycare to go to work. Now, a woman is arrested for abusing him, and the child has permanent brain damage.

A report looking at the health of kindergartners in Nevada says that rates for both overweight and underweight children are rising in the Silver State.

Although Nevada often lags behind other states in health care statistics, there is reason to cheer, based on the results of a new survey.

An annual health survey of Nevada kindergartners shows a big drop in the percentage of children without health insurance, a change that researchers attribute to more use of Medicaid benefits.

Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas say nearly one-third of the state's kindergarteners are overweight or obese.

Nearly a third of Nevada children are considered obese by the time they enter kindergarten, according to a recent UNLV report.
