I. Introduction
In a country of nearly 90,000,000 people, an estimated 40% of the Filipino population is below the poverty level. An estimated 2 million children roam the streets of the Philippines on a daily basis. 75% of these children are considered children on the streets (meaning they work and play there, but still have families to return to and are sometimes educated), while 25% are considered children of the streets (meaning they live there, with no place to call home). Approximately 10% of these children of the streets have no family ties and no one to care for them. Children that are the product of such statistics are often neglected, abused, abandoned and sometimes orphaned due to the extreme conditions in some areas. Other problems that result from such environments include drug use (such as inhalants, marijuana and shabu), widespread illnesses sometimes resulting in death, injuries, sexual exploitation and even imprisonment. Children as young as 10 years old have been imprisoned for offenses as minor as vagrancy. They are placed in cells with the general adult population and are subsequently abused and exploited. Roughly 60,000 street children are working as prostitutes.

    There were some limitations that were placed upon his research since the diverse nature of the city makes it quit difficult to reside exclusively with his research group thus forcing him to reside in four different locations. In order for him to gather informant, a list was created of all the different street occupations in which the child street laborers were engaged in on a PENNAT database along with distinguishing between part-time or full-time workers. Many of his data gathering consisted of participant observation, tape- recorded semi- structured interviews, peer relations, and pure observation. Through these different techniques, the author was able to get a grasp on the practical economics of child street labor, along with confirming the truth of the children’s response to many of his questions concerning their labor intensities. The author’s true ethical consideration throughout his research was to represent the lives of the child street laborers as being more than children who “got the short end of the stick” in life, but to allow them to be listened to, to observe how they really work to make a living in a life that things are not always given to…

    Children not well looked after in terms of parental care have a higher chance of committing a crime in their early years. In the same way children who are assaulted sexually are more prone to becoming sexual perverts later on .Children who are taken care of by legal guardians who are not their parents; undergo all manners of mental and physical deprivation. In most cases these kids are in deplorable conditions especially when they are not in a family setting. In many cases these kids make the majority of the homeless. They usually go away from their foster homes before they achieve maturity and yet they aren’t under the care of an approved family. The main reason for this is for them to engage in illegal activities.Statistics has shown that thirty percent of the homeless were once in foster homes, (Pavao, 1998).…

    Homelessness In Russia

    • 2100 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Street children in Russia are often viewed as unwanted, due to the roles they turn to while living on the street such as beggars, drug dealers and much more. These children often are viewed negatively mainly because of the stereotypes that are in place, for example, dirty, lazy, and dangerous. According to Creuziger (1997), children living on the street are seen as worthless (p. 350). Because of this view, not everyone is willing to help children out by moving them into institutions that would better their childhood such as orphanages or foster care, or even giving them money for food or clothing. Homeless children generally do not have a social structure to guide them through their childhood and set forth qualities of maturity and therefore, act childlike and inappropriate, which strengthens the stereotypes and negative views upon them. They are known for attacking people especially elder women and men and therefore, are not seen as equals or of children in general, but rather unwanted human…
