By Peter Donald Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Under grants announced Tuesday by the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County, $3.2 million of new money will be available for prenatal care, child abuse prevention and the promotion of positive parenting in high-risk families, officials said. The money comes from sources such as The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida, a private nonprofit corporation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Additional money is being supplied by a partnership of children's services groups, including the Health Care District, the Quantum Foundation and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Palm Beach County now joins Healthy Families Florida an $8.6 million statewide initiative now active in 26 counties.

The program modeled on the Healthy Fami halt child abuse before it starts.

The criteria used to select high risk families includes reports of child abuse and neglect, poverty, low birth-weight babies, single female heads pi households and teen pregnancies. A separate program Healthy MothersHealthy Babies is aimed at getting high risk women who are pregnant into prenatal care in the first part of their pregnancies. A third program, paid for by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will provide substance abilse counseling to clients of the Palm Beach County Healthy Start Home Visiting Program.

Rep. Lois Frankel who officials said was instrumental in securing the money and crafting the new programs said many young lives slip away because of early neglect. "I'm tired of treating problems after the fact," Frankel said. "We can be leaders in getting children off to a good start."

Scharnhorst Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Lake Worth police may have given up chasing a stolen silver van on Interstate 95 Monday afternoon, but that didn't mean it was safe for the suspect to park the van near his apartment building.

That's what police say Henry Mann did. Lake Worth officers chased the van through parts of their city and onto the interstate Monday after a woman called 911 from her bedroom closet to say someone was burglarizing her house. Officers arrived while the men were still there, but they jumped in the van and sped away. Officers followed as the van struck another car, injuring a female passenger, but called the chase off on 1-95 because they were afraid the burglars could hurt someone else. Later Monday, West Palm Beach police found the stolen van behind a grocery store near 2100 Congress Ave.

Police said a bystander saw Mann, 17, carry a FUNERAL NOTICES CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED driving southeast on Forest Hill Boulevard about 10:30 a.m. As he approached a PalmTran bus stopped for passengers at Wellington Trace, he attempted to swerve around the bus into the inside lane. But there was a flatbed truck in the lane. Eyewitnesses say he veered around this vehicle and just slammed into the back of the bus," sheriffs Deputy B.R. Natterer said.

"He was traveling at a high rate of speed," over the 45 mph speed limit, Natterer said. Deputies did not file charges, pending the outcome of the investigation. "I was parked right here," said PalmTran driver Mack Boone, pointing to the bus stop. "And all of a sudden, Wham!" Boone, 49, of 207 Ponce De Leon in Royal Palm Beach, said he's worked for PalmTran for nearly three years: "I've been rear-ended before, but this is the first injury." Gisela Kirst of Charming Villas had just gotten onto the bus when the accident occurred. Not yet seated, Kirst was knocked to the floor of the bus.

"I ride the bus because I'm afraid now I'm afraid to ride the bus," she said.
