RT Our Children

The Every Child Matters Education Fund has published a study of what we as a nation are doing about children called Homeland Insecurity.  They report that funding for children's programs has declined over the last decade.  We now rank #20 out of 21 wealthy countries in child well-being--that not in money spent but in how our children are doing.  In addition wide gaps exist within the states so that children in the poorest states
 "are three time as likely to die before their fourteenth birthday, five time as likely to be without health insurance, eight times as likely to be incarcerated, and thirteen time as likely to die from child abuse" as children in more fortunate states.



Something to think about.
