Child Welfare league
Currently there arc some 29
million school-aged children in
the United States with working
parents. Of that number, the
Census Bureau estimates that 22
percent are left alone to care for
themselves after school.
Wc know that, in recent
years, parents have been forced
to leave their children alone for
many reasons. Indeed, some 59
percent of children under age 15
have mothers who work. A more
mobile society, a decline in the
availability of other family mem-
bers, and a rise in the number of
single-parent families also con-
tribute to this dilemma.
What docs all this mean to the
safety and well-being of our
children? A recent study reported
in the Novcmbcr/Dcccmber 1990
issue of Child Welfare, a journal
of the Child Welfare League of
America, puts this issue in per-
spective.
The study of latchkey children
in grades K-3 (ages 5-9) in rural,
urban, and suburban settings re-
vealed that 42 percent were left
alone to care for themselves oc-
casionally, if not regularly.
The percentages of children
left alone ranged from 28 percent
of the kindergartners to 77 per-
cent of third grades in the study.
In urban areas covered in the
study, kindergartners were twice
as likely to be left unattended as
kindergartners in mod areas.
In “Children in Self-Care: A
New Perspective,” authors Sh-
eryll Kraizer, Susan Witte,
George D. Fryer Jr. and Thomas
Miyoshi looked at how children
left alone reacted to situations
such as answering the telephone
and handling delivery of a pack-
age. Of 16 children participating
in this portion of the study, only
two responded to the telephone
calls appropriately All 16 chil-
dren failed the package delivery
portion of the study.
The authors concluded that
the children’s inability to handle
common situations placed them
at greater risk. And interviews
with the parents indicated that the
parents were not realistically as-
sessing their children’s abilities
to deal with certain potentially
harmful situations.
. Young Children Need
Watching
The authors suggested further
study to provide communities,
parents and policymakers with
additional information on before -
and after-school care, services
for families at risk, educational
programs and family resources,
among other things. The report
also called for increased focus on
parent education so parents will
sec that even occasional risk is
still risk.
