U.S., Britain ranked last in child welfare
U.N. study of wealthy nations cites economic inequality, poor family support

BERLIN - The United States and Britain ranked at the bottom of a U.N. survey of child welfare in 21 wealthy countries that assessed everything from infant mortality to whether children ate dinner with their parents or were bullied at school.

The Netherlands, followed by Sweden, Denmark and Finland, finished at the top of the rankings, while the U.S. was 20th and Britain 21st, according to the report released Wednesday by UNICEF in Germany.

One of the study’s researchers, Jonathan Bradshaw, said children fared worse in the U.S. and Britain — despite high overall levels of national wealth — because of greater economic inequality and poor levels of public support for families.

The only reason Holland came top in a 'child happiness' league is because the kids are all stoned... lol

Seriously though, it is shocking, a damning indictment of the anglo-american model in comparison to the continental and nordic.
 
AOI:

Off top.

On a positive note, I heard on the radio yesterday that a recent poll showed that British women have the largest breast size in europe, on average.

Ha ha ha! wahoo!.... I'd like the job of the person who researched that...lol
 
I wonder if that applies to women of, uhm, artificially enhanced cup size? Could breast audmentation lead to child abuse, mayhap?

'Breast augmentation is one of the leading causes of child abuse' says morally righteously indignant campaigner Doris Flatchest!
