I have, over time, seen children hawking one thing or the other. Is it that the government don’t think this is wrong or what? There is no excuse for children to be on the streets when their mates are in school getting an education.

We all know how poor some people can be so as not to be able to afford to give their children an education. But the government can help these parents by building public schools that are absolutely free. Schools that only require that these children show up to school. There are a lot of public schools, of course. But they still collect some kind of fee from these families.

The government should try their best possible to get these kids off the streets.
