Default U.S. Second Highest in Child Poverty

Among Industrialized Countries.

UNICEF needs to study itself IMO

Except the fact 3rd Highest Latvia and Fourth Place Bulgeria's average median income is half of what is considered our poverty threshold. In other words the people who this survey are considering poor in the U.S. make twice as much as the average family in Latvia and Bulgeria. I think we deserve a pat on the back and and attaboy!

Especially when you consider a child growing up in poverty in the U.S. is doing so on a household income four times that of a poor child in the country's ahead of it makes the study comedy and severly biased.

This was like the kid in my science 5th grade class who tried to prove pollution is bad for fish by pouring a half bottle of draino powder into a gold fish bowl.
