It is alarming how the news intensifies every day regarding the large number of mothers who abandon their children in Venezuela. The economic crisis that haunts the country affects the abandonment of children.
Their parents, seeing that they do not have how to feed them, abandon them in the street, leaving them alone and helpless and in the grip of social services. How sad to see how children are the ones who suffer the consequences of this crisis having to go to social service shelters in that country, go out to the street every day to look for food, in most of the times they eat from garbage or commit crimes to have something to eat.
It is important to emphasize that they must go to the street and seek to satisfy their basic needs such as food intake and social services do not comply with them. These children are also victims of social services or provide education.
This situation in Venezuela is alarming because they are minors who do not have to fend for themselves, nor do they have a safe haven. It is also a delicate feeling of guilt, doubts, depression and adding that they are alone, without their parents, siblings grandparents or some significant figure.
Thanks for reading, although this is a very different story from the ones we all do in this community, most of us here have told our experiences with Social Services, but they are also victims of CPS since the nation sends budget to social services but these are not cared for or benefited as it should be, my question is WHERE DOES THAT MONEY GO?
Children need to be listened to and cared for, enough of abandoned children, and enough of children on the street.
