Street Kids.

boy selling tissue paper

You know what really hurts me?

Just look at this kid's intention to sell those tissue papers to the a$$h0le sitting in a 1.8 million rupee car and he is just not even looking at his face.

who is the criminal , who is guilty for this misery ?? isn't this kid one of us? hasn't he got everything what we have ?

Its no one responsible for this misery and this condition of this kid but our own f*****g rulers and ourselves who elect them.

The destruction of every kid's future on the streets is just because of Us , we who elect these idiotic faces and send them to rule us.

It is just unacceptable :hitwall:

You may well find it hard to imagine how much street children suffer. Generally around 8 to 12-years-old and too young to work, street children are hungry, beaten, and imprisoned for petty offenses, such as stealing food or even just loitering. Sometimes these small children are placed in cells with adult prisoners.
They are vulnerable to infectious diseases and drug addiction.

But above all, a street child is lonely. A testimony to this tragic fact is a case when four 12-years-old boys buried a child of 10 without any adult assistance.
To save these children, we are going to have to begin by adressing their most desperate and urgent problems, but that’s not enough. We cannot stop working on solving their core problems at the same time.

Hunger.

Finding things to eat is not the main problem fort street children, as their strong sense of solidarity means that they often share foods.

However, many children die of malnutrition, scurvy or beriberi, as result of poor eating habits.

*****.

All street children complain constantly about *****. They have a hard time finding a place to wash clothes. This is the reason that the children are invariably infested with lice and scabies.

Just a tap and a safe place where their clothes would not be stolen, would already be of great importance for them.
Disease.

When street children get sick, who takes care of them? Where can they go for treatment? And that’s without even taking into account the need for treatment of the child’s psychological scars.

Loneliness.

This is the greatest of the street children’s problems. They no longer have their parents, nor any other adult to talk to, no adult is available to talk with, and every effort to reach out to other people is rejected with scorn or indifference. We all need love, especially children. Just a smile can be enough.

Delinquency.

The absence of love often makes the street child vulnerable to all sorts of deviant behavior, such as theft, drug addiction and prostitution. As a result, they are dealt with as delinquents, instead of being recognized as the victims that they really are.

Violence of all kind.

Street children are on the front line when it comes to disturbed adults looking for victims. These unbalanced people, of whom they are far more than we might imagine, might be nymphomaniacs, child murders, angry shopkeepers, bad policemen and death squadrons.

Rackeetering and prostitution.

Street children are constantly victimized by rackets, because they don't want to give up money that they've worked so hard to earn. But then where can the money be kept safe?

This source of danger frightens children, especially at night. Then, over time, the children no longer feel fear, but become numbed to all the surrounding violence, even the most evil, and eventually become indifferent to the thought of death. At this point, they may become violent themselves or die from an accident resulting from apathy in the face of danger.

A street child needs a refuge from the many dangers of life in the street.

Illiteracy.

Almost always, street children’s FIRST priority is to learn how to read. Street children are very aware that education is the key to everything else...

Bleak prospects.

Later street children will have to find a stable job and start a family, but they know that if no one helps them now, their chances in succeding at this are zero.

Lack of professional training.

A street child sincerely wants to have real vocational training. Until such training is obtained, however, all the child knows how to do is steal.

Social ostracism.

A street child is ostracized and wants to return to the mainstream. In order to be able to learn how to live like other people, the child has to be taught to recognize basic rules of good and bad conduct.
Absence of love.

Though it is seldom mentioned by the street children themselves, this is their fundamental problem. Street children will do almost anything to find someone to love them.

This reminds me of Mexico. There's a lot of kids selling stuff like these photos, but this is not so bad --- it can be much worse.

Let explain. In Mexico, the poverty is not as severe as these (with few exceptions). In Thailand, it is worse because kids are not selling "stuff" but their bodies.

People who have never been in these situation always assume "education" will "fix everything". They couldn't be more WRONG. Reality is life is tough. If these kids didn't sell this stuff, their parents (or handlers) would have nothing to eat, they would get stressed out and BEAT their kids!!! Also, do you really think going to daycare (that's really what Kindergarten to grade 9 is) while worrying your arse off about food, rent, timber, clothing, etc....

I know of this one girl who HAD an "english" education ---> she like millions of others was promised this education would provide for her future. Do you know what use this english education was??? It turned out to be a CURSE for her, as she became a prostitute for Foreign English speaking men. It's not just her, but millions like her. That's what having English education provides.

And to be honest, what do we really learn in School??? In America, not much. K-9 is really just grown-up daycare. Intelligent and diligent people are self-learners. Truth is most elementary and jr high teachers have only basic rudimentary knowledge. I can teach you K-12 in 2 years easily! :) That is not to say K-9 is valuable, it is in that you interact with other kids. But real-life lessons are much more valuable, and most learning is done in self-learning (like here at :pdf:) augmented by University and High-school.

So while it is sad to see these kids, keep in mind either this or 1) starvation, 2) physical abuse, 3) child labour or 4) sexual slavery.
