We all see many street children running around the metro, begging for food and money, malnourished & lacks education. The numbers are getting higher as time goes by... what action can we do about them?

Find them better homes than the ones they ran from or try to get them into councelling and group homes... the children need understanding people to take care of them

it will be wise to find a proper group home for these children which is located far from where they were picked up. by experience, they have the tendency to escape from their foster homes as they have found their begging days to be sufficient for them and adventurous, too.

My mom before helps in gathering street children, they put them in orphanage but the kids still prefer to live in the streets because they don't want to follow house rules. They prefer begging than cleaning & studying.

Well, many organization help them, and the numbers are still getting higher as time goes by. Ask them go home? They run away from their family because they don't feel at home when they are at home. So, what can we do? We must find alternative action. What is it?

there is a need to eagerly pursue the population control program. couples who intend to get married must be made to understand fully the implications of what really is responsible parenthood. those live-in partners must be required to have no children beyond one child only. it is best that a law on this will be passed. have you noticed that most of these kids on the street are products of live in partners? these are the kind of people who just couldn't care less what happens to these kids. these kids were never wanted in the first place, they just happen as a consequence of the act.

really this is the problem for metros. as time goes, value of money is getting lesser and competition is growing. in such condition, survival for such children is difficult. you can only help by giving personal education or making them literate. you can help some of them financially, if you think he or she is going to make thousand from hundreds.
