N2 - I begin this chapter with the question, has the USA done enough to anchor all children living in the USA to the relationships, experiences, and opportunities vital to empowering them with the capacities necessary to exert their right to participation? With an estimated 13 million children living in poverty (Faas & Cauthen, 2008 ), 1.3 million living in homelessness (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty (NLCHP), 2007 ), 8.5 million without health insurance (National Center on Health Care (NCHC), 2009 ), 92,854 incarcerated males (OJJDP, 2008 ), and 25% not graduating from high school, (President Obama, 2009 ) the answer to this question appears to be a resounding no.
