- Law
enforcement and social service agencies reported an increasing number of
undocumented immigrant children living on the streets. These children cannot legally
work; as a result, many survived through petty crime. From January to August,
nearly three thousand teenagers who engaged in a variety of activities were
rescued from the streets. Concluding Observations Of The Committee On
The Rights Of The Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 7
June 2002 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/spain2002.html [accessed 24 December 2010] [27] The Committee
is concerned that the principle of non-discrimination (art. 2 of the
Convention) is not fully implemented for children of Roma origin, children of
migrant workers, particularly when they are not legal, and unaccompanied
foreign children, especially with regard to their access to adequate health
care and educational facilities. [42] The Committee
notes with concern: (a) the high rate
of truancy and school drop out and the difficult school integration
especially among Roma children, children belonging to migrant families or living
in socio-economically deprived areas;
(b) that some children belonging to migrant families, particularly
girls, do not complete their compulsory education or have great difficulties
in attending school; Amnesty International, Index Number: EUR
