Over half (54%)
of all U.S. children (as of 2007) had a chronic health condition—with
developmental and behavioral problems, obesity, allergies, asthma and
mental health conditions leading the pack—and the prevalence of many of
these conditions doubledfrom 1988 to the mid-2000s. Federal reporting on pediatric health indicators in 2017 showed
that one in five children (kindergarteners through adolescents) were
obese, one in ten had activity limitations resulting from chronic health
problems, and one in seventeen (more males than females) had, according
to a parent, “serious difficulties with emotions, concentration,
behavior or getting along with other people.” In addition, 12% of
adolescents suffered a major depressive episode in the previous year,
with the prevalence of teenage depression rising continuously since 2004 and suicide representing the second leading cause of death for both teens and young adults.
Yet the left sits here and screams about immigrant children..when our own are in need. See the facts are they truly don't care, they just want to build a voting base.
