Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Keeping Our Kids Safe: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Children, Family, Drugs and Alcoholism of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session
I have become, as a member of the Senate, more increasingly concerned in recent years about the physical well-being of our Na tion's children. For far too many of our youngest citizens, the form ative years have become mine fields of risk. I will hold a hearing next week in this committee on the explosion of youth violence in our society and what we at the Federal level can do about that. Too many children are being killed and injured due to violence in our country, and we will learn toda that too many children are being killed and injured due to avoi able injuries, accidents that can be avoided through safety measures.
