Runaway and Thrownaway, my or their decision?

Nowadays, homeless rates of runaways and thrownaways are increasing beacause of some problems that are shown in the society, specially at home. Running away home is the decision that any person takes due to some facts, leaving home is the result. Being thrown away is the result of some facts that made someone else take the decision of kicking out someone else. This problem is higher in kids and teenagers.

Reasons to runaway:

• Victimization and neglect
• Drugs and alcohol
• Crime and Homelessness

Keeping Kids Safe

Providing substance abuse treatment and parenting classes may keep a child safe.  At-risk youth require intervention to keep them from the downward spiral of homelessness, substance abuse, criminal behavior and mental health problems.  For the sake of our youth, society should focus on preventing problems, rather than waiting to fix them.
