Why do we need to help street kids?

Because doing a good deed will get you good karma. But more reasonably, it's very sad to see kids living out on the streets. Hopefully it'll decrease the number of gangs in a city. Basically, everybody has some potential. Kids living on the street can also have hidden talents and potential. Everybody deserves a time to shine and be happy. Depression can be a sad thing to experience and especially if it's happening constantly everyday. Doing something kind for a human being is all one should think of. Kids still have a full life ahead of them. It's too early to be living out on the streets at such a young age.

can't give children too much cause then they just want more. i think it's good to give your child a sense of freedom and allow them to do certain things on their own but there come a time when they need a parent not a friend.

yes, this is a stranger they have not been around you to ever cause any distrust or to hurt you . In most situations a stranger can and will help you more than people you know. A stranger will help you where people you know just doesn't seem to have the time. That stranger or person on the street could just be an Angel in disguise.

I would advice you to look for what you really want to help the childrens with... then u should start something and take a lot of pictures but make sure it is something that helps the community and from there u should look for Inc's that would help funding, but you have to start with something before you do anything related to get money for them, they will not give you any type of money if they dont see anything going on first... if u have any other question I might be able to help you better if u are in the States well e-mail me @ brasilbell@yahoo.com for more ...

Sometime in the 70's or 80's, they kicked a whole bunch (we're talking oodles) of people out of mental hospitals.  They had nowhere to go except on the streets.  They're still there.  \n\nAlso, it's hard to get by these days!  It takes a lot to make a living.  Sometimes illnesses or other issues have an impact on our finances.  Not all homeless people are street beggars.  There are a great many who have jobs, live in cars/shelters and try to make ends meet.  Children, too.\n\nThis might be the land of opportunity, but it's really hard to get by when you're down on your luck and have few resources to help you.

That is something I wish I could begin to comprehend. It is not good for the child. Plus it can be traumatizing. \nIts often not safe. I do not know how many times I have seen small children running around close to a busy street with the parent so wrapped up in what they are protesting to not notice how close their children are to the cars. What if something were to happen?\nPlus what if your child grows up having different beliefs then you? All you are teaching them is that if they believe something different you are going to fight them.\nAnd why expose them to the things that happen at some protests.\n\nMy children are worth a whole lot more then that to me!!!

I believe it means that the county/city will build this if you will come. it helps keep kids off the streets and cleans up the area and hopefully gets people to have some sense of worth in their community. this ususally happens in very low income areas.

The public has a right to be protected from idiocy in their community. Much like the traffic law that helps protect you by requiring vehicles stop at red traffic lights instead of driving through them and t-boning you and ripping the bones out from under your skin, children too need protection from the foolish and inconsiderate.

only to those who really absolutely need eg children. as for the others eg homless ppl and so on they are old enough to do something abt their situation if they really wanted to do so. there are loads of organisations that are there to help these ppl. as for third world victims, sure i donate wat i can which isnt a lot and i would never give too much pure and simply because it is not their fault they are in most situations it is there governments or even ours. the more we give these ppl the less chance there is of them becoming independent again and their governments doing the right things for their own ppl.

Well, we shouldn't kick people out on the street right away.  But, after some time, people need weaned off the government aid and become productive.

Keep young people out of danger.\nKeep young people from causing problems.\nKeep the neighborhood quiet so others can sleep.\nYoung people should be working on their homework.

talk to a church or your kids school and see if they have anyone that needs help.  My kids school does Operation Help a Neighbor.

Those in need of assistance, must have the RESOURCES available to locate the organizations that provide assistance.  \n\nMany shelters are more dangerous than sleeping on the street - rape, murder, theft (of the few belongs they have, are not uncommon in shelters.  Communities, for some reason do not have adequate security on the premises.\n\nMoney for use by the shelters is often stolen by those that run the shelters.  Remember the Red Cross scandal regarding misuse of money?  The shelter system is a "big mess! and no one seems to care!\n\nThe do-good'ers, seem to help during holiday seasons:  Thanksgiving and Christmas and forget about those in need the rest of the year.\n\nI grew up doing volunteer work since the age of 10.  It is very rewarding.  \n\nI hope anyone reading this will call your favorite volunteer organization and donate a few hours of your time.

it help the children in many ways like:\nimproves the knowledge of the the children\nit makes children aware fo what is happening in the world

We'd rather be the world police than take care of our own.  Now, i don't think we should just be giving money to the homeless, but it could certainly go toward programs and centers that help someone get back up on their feet to be a productive member of society again.

i personally don't think they do enough to keep drugs off the streets. like where I'm from there are young kids as in 12 and13 yr old that walk the street selling drugs their parents even OK it. i think that our police force sucks and are scared to go into "the hood " and do anything about it. sometimes i feel that they just let most of the big dealers get away with it to keep money into the community. i may be way off base but there is something fishy going on. you get the same offenders out on the street all the time. then lets say they catch some small dealer and tell them hey if you narky on the one higher up you can go free and it wont show up on your record, well of course that's what they are gonna do. then that person will probably be the one to step up and become the big guy. they really need to sit and figure out new ways to get these people off the streets. it is killing our kids, and kids parents. i wish there was something i could do to help. good luck, and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!1
