Most kids stay out of trouble.
Almost one in three Florida children lives in a single-parent household, an increase over 10 years ago. Rates of domestic violence, child abuse and divorce remain high. Extended families of yesteryear have given way too often to teenage moms raising children alone, isolated from their communities. One in four Florida children live in poverty, again up from a decade ago. Many children and youth, especially during after-school hours, are raising themselves with little or no adult supervision.
