A new report on child welfare that found more U.S. children living in poverty than before the Great Recession belies the fanfare of the nation’s economic turnaround.
Twenty-two percent of American children were living in poverty in 2013 compared with 18 percent in 2008, according to the latest Kids Count Data Book, with poverty rates nearly double among African-Americans and American Indians and problems most severe in South and Southwest.
The report, released Tuesday from the child advocacy group the Annie E. Casey Foundation, showed some signs of slight improvement, including high school graduation rates at an all-time high and a falling percentage of uninsured children. But the bright spots weren’t enough to offset a picture that many children have been left behind amid the nation’s economic recovery.

Oakdale police said Tuesday they are still trying to determine why a 34-year-old man apparently began randomly shooting at vehicles, killing a 9-year-old boy and injuring two women.
Police Chief Bill Sullivan said Nhan Lap Tran of Oakdale was arrested Monday after police responded to a report of shots fired in a neighborhood in the St. Paul suburb. Tran was in custody Tuesday on suspicion of second-degree murder and first-degree assault.
Police said Tuesday they are still investigating. Sullivan said it appeared Tran legally owned the handgun used in the attack, and that authorities are not aware of any mental health issues regarding Tran.
