Mexico, Venezuela, Jamaica, Costa Rica and 90 other countries all have a higher homicide rate then the US and since this definition of children includes teen gang members 17 to 19yo isn't really what most people consider "children".

The actual definition of children would be a young human being below the age of puberty.
