"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD"

@t6kenn I do know because I made friends with a homeless 18 year old girl. I'm just saying that there are no little kids who are about 5 or seven years old in the US begging for money in the streets or having sex for money. I know that in Hollywood and Venice Beach there are tons of young homeless people most of them are 18 and older but some are about 17 because I see them there but there are no little children!

@PrincessYeimiNohemi It may be illegal for children to live on the street in the U.S. But that does not stop it from happening. In my home area there are over 800 documented homeless teens. I volunteer at a shelter for homeless teens and know this to be a fact. They are out there. In the U.S. also. We are a nonprofit agency and have only 13 beds for more than 800 homeless teens. You may not know they are homeless because they blend in well with other teens. But they are in the U.S. too!

@michalkovach No there are no street children in the US. I have lived here for most of my life. I live with my family in a neighborhood that many people reffer to as "ghetto" and there aren't any little kids sleeping in sewers and beggin for money. It's illegal in the US for a child or anyone under the age 18 to be homeless. There are services that help children who lost their parents and they also help children who have abusive parents those kids end up with foster parents.

@michalkovach No, We dont have street children in the UK .. Any children who live on the streets do so illegally and out of choice, It is illegal for a child or anyone under the age of 18 to be homeless here

The services are there to get them into a home, shelter or social care

@Incogneto100 The same is true in the UK & Europe. Sod the distraction of celebrity. Community is where it counts. We can then start to dethrone our Sociopathic Narcissistic "Rulers" and look after ourselves.

That's life. It's probably due to karma from previous lifetimes.

I live in Italy and I've never seen a street child along the streets....the same for England,Spain and Greece, where I've been in....
