Children are just much more vulnerable. Lurking somewhere in our heads is the notion of the sanctity of childhood. Yet in almost every country in the world in which you care to look, multitudes of them are being pushed on to the streets. Their population may change continually as they drift on or off the streets. Their numbers may be manipulated--played down by coy governments; inflated by special interest groups. But the children themselves are always there. They must demonstrate a remarkable resilience and sense of enterprise in order to survive....Most of these children face such brutal social exclusion that letting them speak for themselves and have their say seemed the only sane response."
