With the time, a populations has been increasing. This
populations have youths and childrens running
from the sexual abuse, the family’s problems or just throwing of their
household who cannot take the responsibility to care them.
In the case of runaways, one article of The university
of Florida says that “The most reliable
and complete data we have on the issue comes from the Second National Incidence
Studies of Missing Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children (NISMART-2),
funded by the U.S. Department of Justice and completed in 2002. This study
found that in 1999 an estimated 1,682,900 children ran away or were forced out
of their homes” this population is growing up and the creation of this
instituions is due to know estimation the aumont of childrens and youths in the
streets.
In adition is importan to know an statistic of one
year, it doesn’t matter if is actual or later, this kind of information help us
to know the magnitude of the situation.
Of the estimated
1.7 million runaway/throwaway children in 1999, most (68%) were in their late teens
(fifteen to seventeen years old). About 28% were between the ages of twelve and
fourteen. 4% were between the ages of seven and eleven. There were equal
numbers of males and females, and no ethnic group or race was overly
represented. An estimated 35% had run away before. Data from the National Runaway
Switchboard (2006) indicates that most children who left home stayed with a
friend or relative. NISMART-2 (2002) found that 99.6% of all the youth studied returned
home by the end of the year and about half returned within a week. Most did not
travel far (fifty miles or less) and only a few ever left their state.
Well, this can be tedious to treat, because there are
too many sources that we can find on internet. Exists organizations, emergency
shelters, home free programs, communities and it isn’t still enough to solve
this problems that is bigger than the sources and organizations. This blog is
created to make awareness of a population that is still keep going and nobody
has a stable solutions, but as a human that live in the age of the global
communication; we can make a big voice and
¡STOP DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY!
