How do we compare?
Almost a third of British children are poor, according to the British Social Metrics Commission (NBC News, Dec. 21). How does Britain compare to Spokane? Does your annual Christmas Bureau indicate how badly off children are? Are annual donations adequate?
At a minimum, every child should have food, shelter, safety and health care. Hopefully they also have at least one adult who can be a trusted advocate. Are we there?
