National report gives Arizona poor marks in child well-being
Child safety
A recent report shows Arizona ranked 46th in the country in terms of the well-being of its children. But the Casey Foundation noted improvements in the number of child and teen deaths. Use of child safety seats in cars may be a factor, one child advocate says. Arizona also has a new booster seat law that requires children up to 8 years to use a safety seat in a car. Current law requires it for children up to age 5.

yes, yes turn your kids over the to the State at birth. Take no responsibility for them.
Let the State educate them on everything(sex, but not Religion), feed them and pay for their school supplies.

We have been low on this list a long time even before the recession... Problem is that education takes a back seat a long with so many other issues. If children were as important as re-election we'd be able to get something done. Also anyone who tries to come in with suggestions or alternatives are alienated.
