Over 100,000 crimes were committed in 2007 by juveniles under eighteen.
In 2007, juveniles were involved in at least 1 in 10 arrests for murder and drug abuse violations, and 1 in 4 arrests for weapons violation, robbery, motor vehicle theft, larceny-theft, and burglary.
In 2002 one in twelve MURDERS in the U.S. involved a juvenile offender, imagine what that number is now.
Law enforcement agencies made 2.2 million arrests of persons under age 18 in 2003.
One billion children live in poverty (this number reflects every other child born is born into poverty)
443 million school days a year are missed by students due to water-related illness
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or write their name
1.8 million children die a year from diarrhea
YOU can do something to change the world, all you have to do is care!
