Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the lived experience of marginalized, stigmatized, and criminalized children and youth in Santiago de Chile. Documented are the institutional, structural, symbolic and everyday violence(s) that directly and indirectly impact street children, a category of children for whom society denies childhood and imposes social suffering, on a daily basis. Street Children in Chile: Second Class Citizens in Making illuminates contradictions and boundaries street children constantly negotiate and redefine in order to survive, such as "performing childhood" and using their bodies to earn money, to feel pleasure, and to punish. This ethnography offers glimpses into street children's perceptions and engagement in activities that are undeniably destructive to their physical and social being yet enable them to handle the humiliation and frustration of systematic social indifference and invisibility. Engagement in illicit or pathologized activities, such as crime, drug abuse, sexual activity and self-mutilation, are said by governmental authorities to render street children "dangerous" and deviant individuals. In order to survive, street children constantly and efficiently cross boundaries between childhood and adulthood. Street children are child-adults who are not fully children or adults. Consequently, street children occupy a liminal position within society, for they are neither afforded the special protection given to children nor are they granted the rights and legitimacy given to adult citizens. In contrast to "normative" children who follow acceptable socialization paths to becoming desirable citizens, street children follow non-desirable socialization paths and are therefore considered and treated as "criminals in making." Service agencies and state institutions designed to protect street children, unwittingly propel them along a trajectory toward criminality. Institutional and structural violence(s) that perversely promote children living on the streets are not recognized instead street children are pathologized, labeled non-compliant and willfully deviant, and therefore held responsible for their life circumstances. Citizenship rights are applied unevenly to street children due to these characteristics, specifically they are minors and not perceived as socially valuable. In essence, street children are made to become second class citizens because of their supposedly deviant actions and lifestyle.

Book excerpt: This brief studies the phenomenon of street children in two cities in Peru. It looks at some of the conceptual issues and, after analysing why children are in the street and what behaviour and which aspirations they exhibit, deals with the policy issues and lessons to be learned. This brief investigates when and why the transition from children on the street (street-working children) to children of the street (street living children) takes place and elucidates how they survive. It explains the fluidity and the risks involved in any type of child street life.

This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street Children are the casualties of economic growth, war, poverty, loss of traditional values, domestic violence, physical and mental abuse. Every Street Child has a reason for being on the streets. While some children are lured by the promise of excitement and freedom, majority are pushed onto the street by desperation and realization that they have nowhere else to go. In many countries Street Children are named after their main survival activities. What is obvious is that Street Children are poverty stricken and their needs and problems are a result of wanting to meet basic needs for survival. They go through the struggle of providing themselves with basic things such as food, shelter, heath and clothing. Providing targeted interventions that meet the needs of Street Children requires an understanding of who they are, what they need, what they do and how they can be identified.

Download or read book Homeless Children written by Jerome Beker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last, here is a compassionate, humane, and informative volume on the most unique and vulnerable group in our society today--homeless children. Homeless Children: The Watchers and the Waiters is unique because it offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the children and the enormously complicated causes of and solutions to their tragedy. The contributing authors discuss homeless children and the resolution of the problem, as well as the resulting policy and practice implications. From this single source of current research, policy, and practice information, you will better understand the circumstances of homelessness. You will also discover the impact of homelessness on children--the psychological effects on children’s development and behavior, the weakening of mother/child relationships, and the declining status of their physical health. Experts also describe the difficulties created by underfunded, poorly managed, and politically unpopular programs for homeless children, underscoring the need for a national policy to address the problem. Homeless Children: The Watchers and the Waiters is a thought-provoking and insightful book that must be read by professionals who work in human service agencies, sociologists, psychologists, health care workers, child care workers, teachers, and clergy. Policymakers, government officials, and child advocates must also read this masterful volume.

Download or read book Children in Street Situations written by Riccardo Lucchini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides new insights on the lives of children in street situations by providing analyses from a qualitative perspective on the sociology of childhood. It proposes some insightful perspectives on the current discussion about the rights of children in street situations. It includes a unique selection of texts, which were initially published in French, written by the authors of this volume, on the lives of children in street situations in Latin America and China, that are now available to an English readership. It challenges obstacles, linked to macrosocial issues such as inequalities, images of the child, the separation of public/private spheres, urban dynamics and structural adjustments, as well as to microsocial dimensions such as identity, motivation, and activities that are constitutive of street situations. The book discusses the situations experienced by children, highlighting children’s reflexivity and strategies as social factors, and shedding new light on the debate “agency within structure”.

Download or read book Working with Children on the Streets of Brazil written by Walter de Oliveira and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaffirm your political and spiritual commitment to helping the poor and oppressed! How can teachers and social workers reach the endangered kids who seldom come to school? By going to the streets, where the children live, work, fight, steal, get sick, sell their bodies, and all too often die. Working with Children on the Streets of Brazil is an in-depth study of Brazil's homeless children and the street youthworkers who offer them food, clothing, beds, hope, medical attention, education, and simple respect. The street children of Brazil live in unimaginable poverty and squalor, stealing jewelry or selling their bodies to survive, wandering homeless and untaught, pursued by death squads who clean up the streets by washing them with blood. Yet the street youthworkers interviewed in this moving, powerful book--some inspired by the Catholic Church's Liberation Theology movement, some employed by the government or private agencies--continue their efforts to help and heal these children, often with remarkable success. Their work is widely respected, and their unique viewpoint on serving throwaway children can offer creative solutions for social service workers around the globe. Many of the issues discussed in Working with Children on the Streets of Brazil will be painfully familiar to social service workers everywhere, including: the problems of how to identify, classify, and count the children of the streets the reasons children leave or lose their homes the implications of policy decisions and socioeconomic forces on the children's lives the clash between law-and-order advocates and social service professionals the negative effects of deinstitutionalization and overcrowded youth homes the tragic societal consequences of the widening gap between rich and poor the problems of youth crime and violence the difficulties in delivering education, health care, and basic services for homeless children This impressive book offers a detailed history of the development of street social education; a study of the aims, methods, and experiences of youthworkers; and solid advice on using the principles and practices of street social education to reach the at-risk youth of any country, including the United States. Working with Children on the Streets of Brazil is both a scholarly work on the phenomenon of homeless children and a rousing call to action that will remind you of the reasons you chose to work in social services.
