how can this be? my math may be off... but if 8.4 million children compose 11.4 percent of all american children, then wouldn't that mean that there are roughtly 77.3 million children in the U.S.? Given that there are close to 294 million U.S. citizens in total, this would seem to indicate that 1 in 4 citizens are considered children.
either my math or this stat is way off.
