The FBI announced Thursday an increase in the reward to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie or the arrest of a suspect in her kidnapping, according to Variety. Simultaneously, a new report from Congress revealed that children with mental health conditions are often held in juvenile detention facilities instead of receiving treatment, as reported by NPR News. In other news, researchers have identified the molecular trigger for a rare blood-clotting disorder linked to some COVID-19 vaccines, according to Nature News.
The report from Congress, titled "Prolonged Incarceration of Children Due to Mental Health Care Shortages," was released by the staff of Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans. It was based on a survey sent to administrators of public juvenile detention facilities around the country, NPR News reported. The study highlighted a concerning trend of children with mental health diagnoses being incarcerated rather than receiving appropriate care.
Meanwhile, the FBI's increased reward for information on Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts reflects the ongoing investigation into her disappearance, Variety noted. The FBI also released a more detailed description of the kidnapping suspect, though the specific details were not provided in the source material.
