| We use many different terms to describe young people who are homeless, including street youth, street kids, runaways, homeless youth, etc. According recent estimates, there are anywhere from 65,000 to 150,000 homeless youth living in the streets of Canada on any given day. Young people on the streets typically become homeless for a number of reasons. Conflicts and problems within the family are often significant here. Around 70% of homeless youth report having experienced physical, sexual and emotional abuse. My thanks to "The Homeless Hub" for the above information. |

The street is very often the place of meetings or totally surprising situations and it more and more. We knew quieter times but the past is the past. Beautiful street scene
ReplyDeleteThat is a sad problem.
ReplyDeleteHow to capture history in a photo. You got it here.
ReplyDelete...all their worldly possessions!
ReplyDeleteThis is a problem that seems to be increasing rather than decreasing.
ReplyDeleteHomelessness is a real problem in this country. The safety net is mostly nonexistent. Mental institutions have closed their doors, and community based services often fail their clients. Police and jails have become America's answer to many social problems. Sweden has partly solved the problem by...providing housing to the homeless. What a concept.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad problem.
ReplyDeleteBuilding qui semble vide sur la photo précédente alors que ces gens n'ont pas de toits
ReplyDeleteEvery man with his world...
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful photo! I knew someone who got angry with their teenage son and he came home one night to find all his possessions sitting in the driveway and he was told he no longer had a home by his parents. Fortunately, a good friend of the family came to his rescue even though it meant breaking the relationship with the family and today he's doing very well; finished college and has a good job and recently got married. But too many kids have no such rescue operation in sight. It seems we could do better by them in this country and maybe in your country. You know the old saying, "We can send people to the moon, so we ought to be able to .....:
ReplyDeleteThey look very organized, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI agree, homeless but not hopeless. There is always hope.
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking. Kids shouldn't be out in the world having to fend for themselves like this.
ReplyDeleteSad but hope they don't smoke or drink alcohol, if so they wouldn't get a dime from me - yes, I know I can be hard at times.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great problem around the Europa or around the world.
ReplyDeleteBut still I agree Margaret.
