WHAT IS A STREET KID?
DEFINITION: Street Kid is a term for a homeless child residing primarily in the streets of a city (typically in a developing country). The exact definition of a street child is debatable due to the lack of precise categories.
The term has largely been used in reference to children who live entirely in the streets, without adult supervision or care. They are often subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or, in extreme cases, murder by "clean-up squads" hired by local businesses or police. (Source: Wikipedia)
