Statistics are wonderful things.
They can take huge, ugly facts and make them seem almost clinical. The information is broken down by state, so you can find out how things are in your own neck of the woods. But the CDF, a Washington-based children's advocacy group, is asking that you not merely cluck your tongue over the troubling states in which millions of children find themselves. Those would be the states of Poverty, Hunger, and Too-Early Death. The CDF is unceasing in its efforts to keep the welfare of children before the public.
