In all the great towns and cities of the developing countries, street childen are a common sight. They work, beg, steal, and live in many cases, on the streets.
Street children exist in cities throughout the world.
Go to any main city and you will find them. In the last lesson we discussed the issues of food and nutrition, whilst the lesson before we talked about the ways children can be abused, neglected and exploited. In this lesson we bring the two previous lessons together to discuss the problems of child neglect and exploitation and the need for many children to work in order to eat and therefore survive. The majority of children are born into families and should have no reason to question the role the family will play for the rest of their lives. The family is the source of security and protection - moral, emotional, physical, mental and social.
