Introduction
According to the testimony to the U.S. House Committee on International Relations, street children are those children who, when they experience family problems, hunger, neglect and domestic violence, escape from their homes and live part–time on the streets. When they are settled and know street survival techniques, they return at times to their hovels and shacks to visit their families and bring food for their younger brothers and sisters. When they see that the food they bring is not enough, they return to the street and their brothers and sisters sometimes follow them, looking for the source of the food. Street kids are considered pests by some of the business community—as vermin to be exterminated. But some of them have committed no crime and are the victims of the wrongdoing of uncaring and corrupt politicians and abusive, impoverished parents. According to UNICEF, an estimated 100 million children worldwide live at least part of their time on the streets. In the Philippines, a government report in 1998 put the figure at 1.2 million street children—about 70,000 of them in Metro Manila alone. Another report estimates that there are approximately 1.5 million children on the streets working as beggars, pickpockets, drug abusers and child prostitutes (ECPAT). Today, the number of children and youth living part of their lives on the streets in the Philippines could reach two million out of a total population of 84 million (Cullen, 2005).
Neglected by society and government, street children are deprived of education, proper nutrition, and medical care. They suffer and die
