Original Note:
The foundation of this stat and statement are flawed. The underlying methodology relies on data for >1 year old and <20yo. When adding in 0-1, infant mortality takes over. When excluding 18 and 19yo, which are not considered children, the leading cause is motor vehicle deaths. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/
