| What's
Going on With Fraternity Hazing? |
|
In the
past month, at least four young men have died in circumstances apparently
related to college fraternities. Two of those deaths have come this week
alone. At least three young men had also died the previous semester. Despite
policy changes from universities and frats, a slew of anti-hazing laws and
activism from the dead students' parents, the trend shows no sign of
changing.

| Investigation:
Good Hands? |
|
It's bad
enough when a car wreck leaves you injured. But a Channel 2 consumer
investigation reveals it can get worse depending on the insurance company
that's supposed to pay the medical bill. The company that got consumer
investigator Jim Strickland's attention: Allstate. Strickland interviewed an
insider about the company's practices in dealing with crash victims and why if
the driver at fault has Allstate insurance, victims can expect big delays and
puny payment offers.

| Three
Infants Died From Contaminated Breast Milk at Pennsylvania Hospital, Alleges
Lawsuit |
|
A
recently filed lawsuit alleges Pennsylvania's Geisinger Medical Center kept
parents in the dark about a bacteria issue that led to three infant deaths.
The lawsuit was filed by the parents of a 5-day-old baby who died after
drinking contaminated breast milk in the hospital. The plaintiffs' child was
the eighth infant to fall ill after exposure to contaminated donor breast
milk. The hospital issued a statement on Friday stating that they have "made
changes across its campuses in how donor breast milk is measured and
administered."
