- An estimated 100 million children fend for themselves on city streets around the world. - 10 million of them are totally on their own, uncared for and unprotected. - Thousands of children and adolescents in South America have been killed by death squads - A survey of UK runaways found that 1 in 4 had been sexually abused while on the streets. - Almost 90 percent of street children in New York have been involved in prostitution at some time. These disturbing statistics are just a snapshot of the plight of street children in the world today. The result of extensive travel and research, this book combines hard statistics with individual stories to challenge our indifference and awaken our conscience. When compared with the plight of homeless children as first revealed by Charles Dickens over a century ago in his classic novel Oliver Twist, it becomes tragically clear just how little progress has been made.
