Millennials gave birth to 'Generation Alpha.' Are these kids already doomed? - Los Angeles Times

Zoomers fear them. Boomers want more of them. Millennials will keep making them for the rest of the year. Born between roughly 2010 and the end of 2024, “Generation Alpha” is the demographic successor to Gen Z. Its oldest members are not quite ready for a quinceañera, while its youngest will be conceived in the coming weeks. When the last of them arrive this December, they’ll close the largest cohort of children ever to exist on Earth. There are already concerns that the kids aren’t “alright.” T…

He is accused of murdering his nephews, fleeing to China - Los Ange...

Deyun Shi sat with his hands clasped and his eyes downcast, his face impassive behind black-framed glasses as a screen in the Alhambra Courthouse flashed one image after another of his two teenage nephews, bloody and tangled in their bedsheets. Anthony Lin, 15, was sleeping when he was bludgeoned to death with a two-foot long pair of bolt cutters on Jan. 22, 2016, prosecutors say. His older brother William, 16, was wide awake, and appears to have fought their attacker. He was found bloodied unde…

Why do Gascón's challengers' campaign ads all look the same? - Los ...

The ads open with a stirring violin track, the subject striding confidently past the Broadway facade of the L.A. County Hall of Justice, or the Temple Street face of the United States Courthouse, or the Art Deco tower of City Hall. A piano swells under the strings as the star greets first responders, working families or unhoused people. The screen flashes to a drone shot of downtown, a quick cut to a closeup of Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón, and then grainy CCTV video of one of Am…

The body of an El Monte woman who disappeared while hiking alone on Mt. Baldy was recovered Sunday morning, ending a treacherous, weeklong search, officials said. Lifei “Ada” Huang, 22, disappeared about two hours into a solo trek Feb. 4, just as the worst of last week’s historic storms hit Southern California, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department. Huang was reported missing just before midnight; rescue crews went out to search for her around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 5. But…

Captions took over TV. Why can't they win the silver screen? - Los ...

Nine-year-old actor Oceana Matsumoto signed emphatically to her father, posing for a snapshot in the lobby of Westwood’s Regency Village Theater, where hundreds of fans had come to catch a special screening of “Barbie” in ASL — American Sign Language. The Dec. 14 event, which debuted Deaf performer Leila Hanaumi’s interpretation of the bubblegum blockbuster, showcased the cutting edge of accessibility for the Deaf, with the dialogue relayed to viewers through both on-screen captions and sign lan…

At a Chinese restaurant in Pico-Robertson, it's the usual Christmas...

Allyn Woghin was introducing her boyfriend, Robert Gleim, and his 12-year-old daughter, Lucy, to Christmas, the Jewish way. They’d spent the morning in the San Gabriel Valley — the heart of Chinese L.A. and its cuisines — before landing at Twin Dragon in Pico-Robertson for the holiday meal. Blending her Jewish traditions and Gleim’s Christian ones was especially meaningful because of Lucy. And this year, with the Israel-Hamas war and the rising threat of antisemitism at home, there was an underc…

As teen suicide surges, school policies may be making things worse ...

For her 17th birthday, Jeramie Naya Vives Osorio’s family showered her with gifts: a dozen pink roses, a stack of Beard Papa’s cream puffs, a Strawberry Sweet cake from the Korean bakery Tous les Jours and a small silver necklace from Tiffany. Michelle Vives knew her middle daughter — Jer to her friends, Mia to her family — would never wear the necklace. But she wanted Mia to have it all the same. “She loves Tiffany, so every birthday I get her something,” Vives said. “This year I bought her the…

Parents of teen in suicide spread word about crisis hotline - Los A...

Among the first things 16-year-old Donald “Trey” Brown III picked up while training at Teen Line in the spring was how to ask another child if they were contemplating suicide. This question is crucial, counselors at the youth-run crisis hotline say. Asking it directly saves lives, by naming the intense and often unspeakable desire to die that now haunts almost a quarter of American high school students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “People who are not suicidal wil…

UCLA has a new disability studies major — the first of its kind at ...

UCLA junior Vivek Chotai doesn’t plan to pursue his school’s new disability studies major — the first of its kind at any public university in the state — or even take classes in it. Yet for the 21-year-old leukemia survivor and thousands of other disabled students across the University of California and California State University systems, the program is a critical victory in a decades-long battle for visibility and recognition. “We’re judged by our medical histories,” Chotai said. ”[We’re] told…

For L.A.'s Jewish security forces, Israel attack was a call to arms...

It was just after dark and David Bacall of Los Angeles Shmira was pacing Olympic Boulevard, his thick glasses aglow in the amber strobe atop his SUV as he scanned the crowd outside the synagogue for threats. Most days, his job is boring, more Walmart greeter than Mossad. But in the wake of the deadliest attack on Jews in generations — Saturday’s offensive against thousands of civilians in southern Israel — L.A.’s newest security outfit wasn’t about to let its guard down. “People get motivated by…

'I always think of her as mayor': Dianne Feinstein's legacy lives ....

Hours after Sen. Dianne Feinstein died Friday at age 90, Tania Chacón walked up to a pair of ornate tables set up in San Francisco City Hall for mourners to write their goodbyes. A city native who works in the building for the Assessment Appeals Board, Chacón said she had cried at the news that morning. Now, she was the first member of the public to sign the city’s “condolence book” for Feinstein, who served on the local Board of Supervisors and for a decade as mayor before starting her long Sen…
