In this report the authors are able to show how the system of welfare
works and if it is really working or if it is not doing the things that are
supposed to.
Welfare for children has not done what it was supposed to do and form in
the beginning. Many children are suffering because of the welfare
system. They are saying that the more children that are in the welfare
system means that those children will not be able to have a better
future. For children that are a lot involved in the welfare system tend to
get used to the life, depending a lot on the government.

In this report it shows how the welfare in America is not as good as in
many other nations, even though America suffers from a lot more need
than those nations.
Welfare is a really big issue now on days, and yet America is still not able
to defeat those necessities. Americas rate poverty is higher than many
other nations. It is not believable that America is not able to defeat those
necessities and yet is one the nations that spend a lot more in welfare,
but with still lower results.

Poverty harms even more children in the world, but as for America it
seems like each time poverty is being a bigger issue.

Poverty instead of decreasing as the years pass it is being the contrary
and it is increasing. America made programs which helps poverty, but
still if it was not for those programs poverty would be the double as it is
today. Some of the possible reasons of why America lives in poverty are
because of how much do they pay in the jobs, in a house just one person
is the one working for everyone.

How they are consequences for everything, like poverty and health
consequences means they will risk the chances of their future in many
situations.
Scientist did a research on viewing how maltreatment in a child causes a
lot more consequences in the future, and those consequences are not
good for them. They studied the following, living a child alone, child
assault, physical neglect, and contact sexual abuse. All of those were
factor of the maltreatment the children went trough. This article shows
that a child who has been in maltreatment would suffer a lot trough their
whole life.

Children go to many issues and many of them do not even have the
availability to the resources which are able to help them.
A lot of children pass through many difficulties and yet not all of them go
with special help which allows them to go through those situations. Some
of the things children go troughs is maltreatment and that is a really big
issue, for they really need special help. When children pass through a lot
of things in their life they tend to show behavioral needs which can
cause them a lot of problems and that is why they really need the help.

It is incredible that instead of the abuse towards children is increasing
instead of decreasing.
Everyone has always being talking about the worst devastating problem
which is child abuse. Child abuse has most of the time come from the
people who are supposed to protect the children, but instead they are
the ones who harm those children. According to the report it is said that
about 80% of the children who have suffered from abuse, the parents are
the ones who abuse of them.

How interesting is to know that there are a lot more children living in
poverty now on days than before.
Living the past had a lot and more difficult times and that was why
children had to pass through the poverty, but it is unbelievable that still
now on days children have to go through poverty. Being in America
should really help children not have to live in poverty and allow them for
a better future. A lot of the issues children are going trough would be
that there are a lot more single moms and that is when the highest rate
in poverty is for the children. Living in a house by a single parent is very
difficult now on days for just one person to support the children.

Ingraham, C. (October 29,2014). Child Poverty in the U.S. is among the worst in
the developed
world. The Washington post.
How amazing it is to see that the U.S. is the one with the worst poverty
among other places.
Children are living with poverty each time more. The United States was
marked as one of the places which is involved with poverty. There are
about 32.2 percent of the children who are living in a situation which
should not really be involved. According to many of the statistics it said
that 1 in 3 of the children are going trough poverty in America. It is
something that everyone should be aware that almost the whole United
States is living in poverty.
