Our Street Kids -By Kushi Daniel Friday
Some of these kids indulge in hard labor and criminal acts just to get their bodies and souls up. Go to our motor parks, they are there. You see them in our untidy areas, barefooted and wearing shameful shirts.
Hunger has eaten deep into the children on the street. Health and security of those children are no longer our priority.
The governments keep mum over the whole situation. Our streets are full of school age children and are denied that right. Children who are to be under the care and shelter of their parents, but here they are, struggling to survive on the street with nobody to care and caress them.
People tend to abuse such kids on the street for money rituals and other illegal activities.
Some of these kids indulge in hard labor and criminal acts just to get their bodies and souls up. Go to our motor parks, they are there. You see them in our untidy areas, barefooted and wearing shameful shirts.
No one cares for their untreated and stinky wounds. The children cry for justice and fairness from the government. Heartfelt cry of the poor kids. They deserve our attention for their potential.
