A defunct marine park in Canada threatened to slaughter its remaining 30 beluga whales if the federal government doesn’t fork over emergency funding to care for the animals by Tuesday night.

The caravan, which departed earlier this month, is expected to take weeks to reach its destination, where migrants hope to find higher-paying jobs in Mexico’s capital city, rather than its impoverished south. Tapachula, located in Mexico’s poorest state of Chiapas, has been struggling for…

The idea of stepping in, taking control, and limiting independence can feel counterintuitive, even risky. Many parents fear that being too controlling will only push their child further away. But when anorexia clouds a teen’s ability to make sound choices about food and health, parents can be instrumental by stepping in to help restore…
