Advances have been made in the infant mortality rate, access to prenatal care, and child and teen violent death rates. Births to teen mothers have increased over 9 percent since 1980. In the last 5 years, the number of school disciplinary actions has increased almost 17 percent and delinquency cases have increased 32 percent.
