CAUTION: The following links
and accompanying text have been culled from the web to illuminate the
situation in the HOW TO USE THIS WEBPAGE Students If you are looking
for material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on this
page and others to see which aspect(s) of street life are of particular
interest to you. You might be
interested in exploring how children got there, how they survive, and how
some manage to leave the street.
Perhaps your paper could focus on how some street children abuse the
public and how they are abused by the public … and how they abuse each
other. Would you like to write about
market children? homeless children? Sexual and labor exploitation? begging? violence? addiction? hunger? neglect? etc. There is a lot to the subject of Street
Children. Scan other countries as well
as this one. Draw comparisons between
activity in adjacent countries and/or regions. Meanwhile, check out some of the Term-Paper resources
that are available on-line. Teachers Check out some of

2011] The number of Dutch
children working in prostitution has increased dramatically over the past
five years: from 4,000 to 15,000 according to figures published by the
Amsterdam-based ChildRight organization. Most children
that end up in prostitution in the Netherlands are boys or young under aged
asylum-seekers – particularly Nigerian girls. ChildRight
claims this group numbers some 5,000 children. But recent years have seen a
significant rise on the number of Dutch girls forced into the sex industry. Among them are an estimated 5,000 runaway
or homeless children, many of whom are mentally retarded. Another large
group (also 5,000) are ‘ordinary' Dutch schoolgirls, aged 13 or 14 from a
"regular home environment" who are lured into prostitution by
so-called "lover-boys". – sccp ***

Education was free and compulsory for children between the ages of 4 and 16,
although schools could ask for a voluntary contribution from parents.
Vocational education was also free, except for the cost of books and
materials. Approximately 10 percent of students left secondary school before
attaining a certificate. Government-licensed Islamic schools were obliged to
follow the same curriculum requirements as other schools. One in 10 immigrant
children left school without obtaining a diploma. Street children
