     It is ten o’clock at night, 
     
     time to watch CBC news. 
     
     Enthusiasic viewers gather 
     
     around TV sets to hear The 
     
     A major topic in 
     
     the news is the state of our 
     
     children. 
     
    

    
     Over the-radio, reported * 
     
     cases of missing children 
     
     cause tension in the minds 
     
     of listeners. ‘One often’ hears 
     
     allegations of children ‘kid- 
     
     napped, 
     
     saulted and others simply 
     
     ran away from their parents 
     
     for different reasons. 
     
    
   
   
    
     some sexually as- 
     
    
   
   
    
     In Western big cities 
     
     such as Torontos, run-away 
     
     children are commonly called 
     
     “Stray Kids.” They roam 
     
     helplessly in the streets. 
     
     Most of the kids interviewed 
     
     by reporters often reveal sto- 
     
     ries of child abuse. 
     
    

    
     Children that are victims 
     
     of rape increasingly become 
     
    
   
   
    
     afraid to mention the opic. 
     
    
   
   
    
     For fear of being exposed in 
     
    
   
   
    
     front of TV cameras, hese 
     
    
   
   
    
     children request to be anony- 
     
     mous. Suffering on a mas- 
     
     sive scale has seen these chil- 
     
     dren in the worst ‘state ever. 
     
     hey live under the most de- 
     
     plorable conditions, deprived 
     
     of adequate food, clothing, 
     
     and shelter. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A person living in the fa- 
     
     cade of Toronto’s skyscrap- 
     
     ers, deluxe hotels or man- 
     
     sions may find it difficult to 
     
     see the bitter reality of stray 
     
     kids surviving outside in the 
     
     extreme weather conditions. 
     
    

    
     Tough economic situa- 
     
     tions and emotional pres- 
     
     sures of coping with urban 
     
     life makes stray kids in their 
     
    
   
   
    
     teenage years turn to unde- 
     
     sired activities. Stray kids 
     
     are more likely to be hard- 
     
     core criminals. They involve 
     
     themselves with drugs, theft, 
     
     gambling and prostitution. 
     
    

    
     In Third 
     
     World countries, newspapers 
     
    

    
     print” edrtreriding irmages of 
     
     hungry children’ in ‘refugee 
     
     camps. Harindav Aulach, a 
     
     refugee coordinator with the 
     
     World University Services of 
     
     Canada (WUSC) reports on 
     
     ‘the lives of two litle five- 
     
     year-old girls he met at the 
     
     Dikhil refugee camp in Dji- 
     
     boui (Africa). 
     
    

    
     Aulach is shocked to see 
     
     the conditions in the camp 
     
     where the two little girls live. 
     
     He describes the camp 4 
     
     full of nothing like tents but 
     
     “a motely collection of rags 
     
     supported on unsteady poles 
     
     where families live for years; 
     
     sleeping, breeding, eating.” 
     
    

    
     Despite such rough com 
     
    

    
     ditions, 
     
     Aulach is amazed to see thes¢ 
     
     children adapt themselves t? 
     
     a difficult environment. A“ 
     
     cording to Aulach;' the de 
     
     spair in refugee camps would 
     
     be total were it ‘hot for the 
     
     children, whose laughter and 
     
     shouts are manifestations ° 
     
     life’s determination o rene* 
     
     itself. Aulach sees childre® 
     
     as elements of hope. 
     
    

    
     In South Africa, news of 
     
    

    
     police shooting Black chil: 
     
     dren is widely exposed to 
     
     outside world by journalist* 
     
     The anger of the parents # 
     
     felt and shared by millions °
