Growing up in a cycle. probably fathers are sex tourists, they are born, grow up in poverty turn to prostitution then get pregnant to sex tourist and on and on it goes. Half them kids are probably half European or half American. Sorry state of affairs, really is.

The UN 'peacekeepers' are known for raping children. Not the solution.

@lialammas you are on point It is terrible what the whites are doing thier turning thier backs on the black population. UNICEF is not help they running a few programms but not stoping it, they might be doing it just to sell abandoned babies easier.

what is UNICEF doing to help change the government mistreatment in Brazil. they dont care about the source of the problem. help the people and the children want become abandoned and this would never happen. brazil's whites do not care about the blacks .

OMG! this shocked the hell out of me :O ....these poor children.....in my opinion Brazil is a very unequal country, i notice majority white skinned people are rich and the darker skinned people are poor :/

Exploitation also from the Media. They love to show this and tell everyone to give money so they can help. Please wake up everybody. The ones that are really helping do not have time for this.

There are more than 800 slums in Rio.The rich areas and the poor areas are very close to each other wich makes the city unsafe for turists from other countries. The city is controled by groups of drug traffickers and criminal policemen. The government works hard to hide these sort of information due to the importance of the turism sector for Rio de Janeiro. Reports of shooting between police and drug trafficker are constant all over the town, and it happens everyday. Be careful if you go there.
