A U.S. Marine was detained last month after a missing 14-year-old girl was found in the barracks of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California, authorities said yesterday. The teen was found just over two weeks after her grandmother reported her missing, the San Diego County Sherriff's Department said. The Marine, who has not been identified, remains in custody but has not been charged. The girl ran away from home and was reported missing on June 13. She has since been returned to her grandmother, and an ongoing investigation by military authorities is being supported by the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force, a sheriff's office spokesperson said.

As summer temperatures reach sweltering highs, a parent's worst nightmare can happen: accidentally leaving a child in a hot car. It's a story that happens too often, as almost 1,000 children have died of vehicular heatstroke since 1990, according to the Department of Transportation. Janette Fennell, president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit focused on improving child safety around cars, told TODAY.com her 7 recommendations for parents to follow to prevent hot car deaths. One of her tips is to keep something else important in the backseat next to the child, like a cell phone or briefcase, so caretakers go into the back of the car to get their essential item. Read Fennell's other tips here. |

We've all heard we need to be drinking eight glasses of water per day. But how true is it? The National Academies of Medicine actually suggests women drink 9 cups of liquid, including water, per day, while men should have 13 cups. While some recent studies cast doubt on the need to drink that much, experts agree 8 cups of water is a good daily benchmark, and they encourage people to listen to their bodies. "Our study shows that 'one size fits all' doesn't work for hydration," said Herman Pontzer, co-author of a 2022 study published in Science and a professor at Duke University. "Athletes or those who work in physically demanding jobs need more water, as do people in hot environments." Read more about the benefits of drinking water here. |

Yes, this jumbo oatmeal cookie even works for breakfast, TODAY's nutrition expert Joy Bauer says. Filled with beta-glucan, a fiber that helps reduce cholesterol, this oat-of-this-world cookie is great for a snack any time of day.

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Two premature twins were caught on camera having the most adorable reunion after spending five days apart in the NICU. The twins were placed on their mother Meghan Huston's chest, and baby River immediately reached his arm out to give his brother Declan a hug. "You hear about how twins have bonds, but to actually see it in person? It was unreal," Huston said. Huston went into labor at 32 weeks, and her babies were almost immediately taken to the NICU after her C-section. Watch the sweet video of the twins' reunion here. |
