The US, with its cherished image as a land of opportunity, should be an inspiring example of just and enlightened treatment of children. Instead, it is a beacon of failure – one that contributes to global sluggishness on children’s rights in the international arena.
悲哀的是，美国没有在履行义务。事实上，它甚至没有批准儿童权利公约。美国向来以机会之地的形象自豪，它本应该成为公正、开明地对待儿童的榜样。相反，它却成了失败的象征——为儿童权利在国际经济场上的全球颓势做出了“贡献”。
