The news recently has had two disturbing items in it relating to the health of our children. One was the results of a phone survey of families of 78,000 children.

Yet right on the Kellogg’s label, there was the declaration: “Now helps support your child’s immunity.” I’m sure most parents didn’t fall for it, but it was still good to hear that the cereal company is discontinuing its immunity...

WASHINGTON — How effectively will the U.S. House health care bill cover children? Turns out, it depends on where they live. The $894 billion health reform bill working its way toward a House vote this week would repeal the Children’s Health Insurance Program, shifting some low-income kids into Medicaid and others into private plans that would both cost more and guarantee fewer benefits....

Kristof's column is a sad and resounding condemnation of the United States for its abject failure to take care of its own people.

It is difficult to think of two more sinister New Labour figures than Phil Woolas, minister for immigration, and Lady Delyth Morgan , parliamentary under-secretary for children. They are joined in unholy alliance in the foreword to the new government guidelines on safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children under section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009.
