The Annie E. Casie Foundation has released its 2003 Kids Count Book, a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the U.S. I'm still sifting through the data...when I have a few minutes during naptime.

One sad thing I've notices so far is that Ohio doesn't exactly have a stellar record when it comes to kids...with 16% of children in poverty and a 24 teen births per 1000 girls ages 15-17.
