Indeed it doesn't, and the whole basis of this story is very anecdotal and shaky. But that's just it -- it's a story, not a factual report about what's actually happening in the world. A disturbing amount of journalism is storytelling, and the facts are just the raw material from which the story is crafted.
In this case, the story is a retread of a tired old classic: "Kids these days are doing some pretty crazy stuff!"
