The Lack of a Home

You are probably asking yourself why these children are living under these conditions. There are several answers to this question, however, most of them happen as a result of extreme family conditions, many times children are abandoned by their mothers who might decide to engage in prostitution; other times, they are orphans; sometimes however, the economic situation at home obliges the parents to abandon their children.

Often times, the children decide to abandon their homes when they see their parents are addicted to drugs and are unable to educate them.

Constant physical and sexual abuse at times obliges these children to flee from their homes and to prefer living within the dangers of the streets rather than receive physical abuse from their parents.

These minors prefer to withstand the cold and rain, go hungry, be mugged, the insecurity, loneliness, violence, sickness, the lack of protection, receive no help, and all other adverse conditions than living with their families.
