Why there are Street Children's?

Nowadays, we have heard that there are so many children's foundation. Their mission is to help those less fortunate children’s, those children who are abandoned by their parents. We have also our DSWD who are in-charge for the children’s protection. Yet, all of these agencies and organizations are not enough, as we still have seen so many street children’s wandering around the street asking for food and shelter. One of the well-known City in the Philippines where I live. When you go around the entire town you will see those children’s in the street. Children's who are  living on the street face the continues prospect of physical, verbal and sexual abuse from adults. The government and environment problems associated with street children extend beyond the plight of the children themselves.. In the future, street children's end up unskilled and jobless, most often resorting to crime.

Way of Survival

The worst thing I saw are those children’s who are taking rugby’s, those children’s having sexual intercourse at their young age, those children’s who are fighting, those children’s who are engage in robbery in order to survive. To whom we can blame this? Yes, we can say that we can blame their parents as they did not take care their kids, they did not guide them and love them.  Will, we cannot say that their parent’s did not love them. All parent’s love and care their children’s, however there are so many reasons why their parents were not able to take care their children’s.  First psychological problem, Second, financial problem, Third, uneducated parents who are also born in the street, Fourth, a victim of drug addiction, Fifth, both parents have AIDS/HIV or other common diseases and verbal, physical, and sexual abuse .  All these reasons are the main causes why we have seen so many street children’s.  Now, who is going to help these children? The most powerful agencies who can help these street children is our government. They must prioritize this issue and allocate an immense amount to provide education, home and shelter for this street children’s.
