Many parents are keen to raise their children with proper upbringing away from the street, as they know well the vices of street children. However, some are lenient in this matter, citing pressures, not suppressing freedom, or even allowing their children to release their energy by playing ball, for example, in the street. They may not realize the danger of this on their children, or because they are constantly busy. But the company of street children and their constant presence in the street has many serious vices, and we will summarize them for you in ten vices that every parent should know the danger of.

What are children exposed to from the streets?

The term “street children” usually refers to children who live on the streets without adequate care by adults or the family and these children are exposed to many risks and challenges that may cause evils and negative effects on their lives, including:

• Homelessness and poverty: They are vulnerable to homelessness and living in devastating conditions of poverty.
• Educational neglect: They may miss the opportunity to get a quality education, affecting their understanding of the world and their future opportunities.
• Involvement in crime: Due to the lack of guidance and care, they can be attracted to crime or engage in illegal activities.
• Addiction: They can suffer from lack of medical care and health neglect, leading to physical and psychological health problems.

• Violation of children’s rights: They can be subjected to violations of their rights as children, whether through exploitation or violation of their basic rights.

Improving the conditions of street children requires integrated efforts from society and the government to provide basic care, educational opportunities, psychological and health care for these children.
