In an ideal world, children live carefree and have access to their basic needs: nutritious food, a good education and quality health care, for instance. Beyond those, adequate safety as well as the love and support of caring adults. Children often have a strong chance of stability in adulthood when all such needs are met. But these are not the rights of every child; for some, they are privileges. In the U.S., in fact, a baby is born into poverty every 32 seconds, and another 1,836 cases of abuse or neglect will be confirmed by the end of the day, according to the Children’s Defense Fund.
