To give you a quick idea of how much location matters, consider this: Kids are six times more likely to die from a violence-related injury in Alaska than they are in Massachusetts. In California, public playgrounds must meet all federal government safety recommendations, but 34 states offer no standards for where your kids climb, jump and swing. Connecticut and 20 other states have made big improvements in school-bus crossings, while 13, including Nebraska and Arizona, are way behind.

Georgia for me. So 36 just like ig. Not too bad, I say. I still say that rednecks are hurting Georgia's ratings in every category to possibly be rated upon ... except farms.

I'm 3rd..

New Jersey FTL. I hate this fucking state, and I hate all the fucking regulations.

We're the ONLY state in the entire nation that, when you go to an arcade/chuck-e-cheese, you cannot get prizes for skill or chance. If you hit the jackpot, you only get 10 piddly tickets. If you're a dumbass and miss every time, you still get 10 tickets for each try.

Asinine.

We need some perspective people. Regulation needs its limits. Otherwise we end up like what happened in I, Robot.

Whats sad is going 80mph in a 65mph freeway is probable safer than walking on the street in some cities.

They get lots of STDs from marrying their cousins when they're nine years old.

NY only has like four areas with allot of poverty. Harlem, South Bronx, and certain areas of Brooklyn and Queens.

Besides those areas the State is mostly upper-middile class and thus Child-Friendly.
