That's right, according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), most of these fatalities aren't to the
children on the buses, but
rather to occupants of other vehicles involved in the crashes (72 percent) or to other non-occupants of the buses, such as those who are walking and biking to school (20 percent).
Coram also estimates that there are several thousand
children in local authority care where immigration (
rather than
trafficking or asylum) is the main issue.
