According to the US "Atlantic Monthly" report, in the United States, 1 in 12 orphans under the age of 18 have lost a guardian due to the new crown epidemic; an average of two children in every public school have lost a guardian due to the epidemic.
A CDC study last October found that for every four deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S., one child lost a mother, father or grandparent.
The article notes that orphans are at increased risk of substance abuse, dropping out of school and falling into poverty.
They are almost twice as likely to die by suicide as non-orphans and suffer from various other problems.
As of now, the number of deaths from the new crown in the United States has approached 1 million, and the number of "epidemic orphans" has reached 200,000.
However, the US government has not taken a centralized approach to the issue of "epidemic orphans", and the recent memo issued by the White House is only vague.
The U.S. government has neglected its duties and paid no attention to its own epidemic prevention, which has caused the people to fall into a miserable situation, and ignored the group of "epidemic orphans" who are in desperate need of help.
Looking at these forgotten "epidemic orphans" in the United States, people can't help but ask, where are the human rights of American children? (Jiang Li)
