Paragraph On Street Children
The street children are those who move
along the roads and have no definite place or house to live in. They move on
the streets, eat the leftover goods from the roadside dustbins, and sleep on
footpaths. The street is their home. So they are called street children. Some of
them earn their livelihood by working as a coolie. Some live by serving as a helpmate in a house,
some by doing some odd business. Among them, some also earn their livelihood by
stealing something from the shops here and there. When they gradually grow up,
they get involved in illegal activities. The street children have no
parents to maintain their expenditure. They have been left by their parents
either because they have illegal birth or because their father or mother has
got married twice or thrice. Finding no other alternative, they take shelter
on the streets. These children are deprived of many rights as citizens. They are
even destitute of fundamental needs of life. They cannot go to school. They cannot
eat a square meal, let alone have medical treatment. Thus, they remain
underprivileged.
