We extract all the resources and wealth from underdeveloped countries. I'm guilty just like everyone else. Just look at Iraq Israel(Palestine),and Saudi Arabia. Terroism = Dis-enfranchisement = Poverty. Now you understand why the USA has the highest

Back then, the homeless were incarcerated with the adults, where they could be subjected to anything (rape), and adults would use the homeless children to steal, etc. And the families that wanted to adopt would only adopt blond-haired, blue-eyed children. The number back then of homeless children was staggering. My daughter had a friend last year in her class that was from Brazil, and when I told her about it, she said it wasn't like that anymore. I haven't seen the movie you mentioned, but it's sad to think that things might not be much better. --- When I was first out of high school I read an article in a magazine about the homeless children in Brazil, and I remember it stayed on my mind for a long time.
