Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey

Although it is not word-for-word with the quote you seek, I think that it has probably been paraphrased from the sentiment as often expressed before, for example:
"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children".
~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German Pastor and Nazi opponent who died in a concentration camp)
Aristotle has often been quoted as saying you can judge a nation by the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens.
If we consider the atrocious crimes committed against children and the way the elderly are treated as second-rate citizens in our so-called civilized countries and the way the aggressors are protected, these were, and still are, right on the money.
