an inexpensive, revolutionary therapy is saving children's lives right now. (rooster crows) since 2004, project peanut butter has been treating children in malawi, a country with one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. (speaking native language) second narrator: as a faculty member at washington university medical school, dr. manary founded project peanut butter to bring the most effective malnutrition therapy to the children who need it most. alefa is 7 months old. she is just entering the critical 6-month-to-two-year-old window where children are most vulnerable to the impact of malnutrition. jason: alefa is, uh, severely malnourished and, um, (unclear), as you can see from the extremely small arms. second narrator: severely malnourished children at this age are at great risk. untreated, more than half will die. pilirani is two years old. severely malnourished kids often swell up with edema, a painful build-up of fluid under the skin. pilirani's swelling is so severe he can barely walk. until recently, the best treatment available for pilirani a

we know that children go missing and are vulnerable at every step of the way. and that is why the child protection and monitoring systems in the europe have to be ready. we see growing numbers and the protection systems need to be prepared for those who are on the move, and they are going -- there's no end in sight. so what that means for unaccompanied is that better guardianship perhaps have to be put in place. so that children are not exposed while they are on the move to smugglers, to those who might be trafficking them. many traffickers are preying on those who do not have enough information, do not know where to go. do not have any kind of family links been so those systems where the children are being processed, need to be speeded up. they need to be unified a lot faster. children tend to leave centers because they get frustrated they don't want to be detained or delayed on their journey. so those systems have to be a lot more efficient. and really speeded up in order to protect children so they are not left to be preyed upon. absolutely. speaking to us f

the children have turned age 15. we started a study, we did it because we have a lot of this large out increase and child bearing and we wanted to know what's going on? what kind of relationships do these parents have? are they casual? are they commit? what does it mean? do the fathers stay around? do they end up getting married? so the real purpose of the fragile family study was to answer some of the questions we are dealing with today. so i'm going to make the argument and then i'm going to give you some data to sort of back up this argument. so, the first is that the hildren born to unmarried parents -- and i should mention that when we did the study, we births to pled for unmarried parents so we'd have a those rge sample of births. so, compared to children born to married parents, children born unmarried parents experience much higher rates of union dissolution, a higher prevalence of new partners coming into and out of the home. higher prevalence of the family's complexity which means the house hold that have d

that's on the tablet, the children aren't really retaining." that's because interaction with others is vital around this age, and things like tablets, phones, and other technological devices are distracting children from playing with other kids and their parents. bradford wiles, k-state assistant professor "children learn from adults through play reading and shared activities, and so anything that you do that isolates them, that's detrimental." razo says that over the years she has seen less and less children knowing how to write their names... and other skills. tisha raxo, kiddikat daycare "when you have to say put a block here, they need the hand-eye coordination, they need the gross motor, they need to do something other than looking at a tablet." bradford wiles, k-state assistant professor "so we think that we are teaching them things like their letters and numbers, but what we are really teaching them very well how to do, is use a touch screen." technology is becoming more integrated in classrooms and daycares. not just for preschoolers, b

but most of the children have been hiten by their parents, they hit their children.t of the men that have seen their fathers hitting their wives, then hit their wives as well. they have been victims, and then they are the ones that make someone else victims. so you don't know from suffering. >> before ending our trip we knew we had to go to the wall itself in order to understand the latest phase of this ongoing separation. we went to a suburb of jerusalem where the wall cut through that village and divided it into two halves, separating family members from each other, preventing people from going to their places of work, and children from going to their schools. >> i think it's shocking how you could slice a neighborhood into two and believe that you can stop people from going to prayer or shopping and just bashed wire and cement -- barbed wire and cement are going to create more hatred. th about was part of israel's largest national project since the beginning of the occupation four decades ago. they are maintaining that they are building this wall to prevent suicid

we know our children better. we know our children, they're not about arguing with anybody about parking or anything of that nature. >> it's more important that this crime is declared a hate crime to you, than anything else. >> yes, i think calling crimes different names than the reality means a green light for more crimes to happen. not called a hate crime yet. >> reporter: they say evidence proving this will come out in court, but in the meantime, they point to the brutality of the killings as confirmation. >> what was going through you're mind as you were reading that? >> i never talked to anybody about it. my only condolence is that i told her truthfully, and honestly, they did not suffer. it was swift. >> some say it was execution style. >> it was execution style for my daughters. he shot top of the head, through the brain stem. that means no chances. >> reporter: that wasn't the case for dia, who was shot multiple times at the front dure. his mother will never forget, learning a month after the shooting, tha
