It’s something we probably see every day – on the street, on TV, and in the movies: smoking. It’s a habit millions of Americans have, including a surprising number of teens. And it’s a really bad habit.

Nuclear weapons put an end to World War Two. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused terrible destruction… and the surrender of Japan. Nuclear weapons have never been used since – except as a threat to prevent further war. Not with the Japanese, but with the Soviet Russians. In this three-part special report, Nicole takes us to a fascinating museum in the Arizona desert.

In part two of her report, Nicole experiences what it meant to be responsible for launching a Titan Two nuclear missile.

In part three of her special report, Nicole speaks with someone who sat in the Commander’s chair of a nuclear missile site, below the surface of the Arizona desert. A site that was under constant alert for many years.

Most of us dream of the day that we’ll get our driver’s license. When that day comes – or if you’re already driving – the National Road Safety Foundation wants you to keep this message in mind.

Alexandra has an incredible story about the practice of children being sent as mail right here in the United States.

The staff at Teen Kids News has lost a longtime and dear friend this past week.Ernie Anastos was an award-winning newscaster who worked with TKN’s executive producer while they both were at Channel 7 Eyewitness News in New York City.Famous for his always upbeat, positive attitude, viewers not only liked Ernie, they trusted him. His sincerity was real.Over the years, many of us worked with Ernie to create wonderful – and wonderfully creative - TV programs. A truly good person who went out of his way to help others, Ernie was always willing to lend his name and his talent to a worthy cause.When we produced the NY Easter Seal Telethon, Ernie was one of our hosts. Telethons are some of the most difficult TV programs to produce. They run non-stop for hours. And they can be grueling, especially for those who are on-camera for much of that time.Ernie was perfect. He handled the pressures of marathon live television with a smile, humor and good grace.Thanks to his participation, the telethon exceeded its fund-raising goals, enabling Easter Seals to help many more people across the NY metro area. Recently, Ernie invited our anchor, Lylah and our reporter, Ava and our Executive Producer, Alan Weiss, to be guests on his podcast. It was a privilege to work with Ernie Anastos And an honor to have him as a friend.He will be missed.#ernieanastos #positivelyernie ... See MoreSee Less
