"SITUATION IN WHICH RUNAWAYS ARE SURVIVING"
Mostly children run away from their houses without knowing the problems they have to face after running. Some of them might join the armed services or take jobs such as sales work, others end up in jails. Those who remain on streets didn’t find any other job due to lack of experience, age and other reasons. Here these children get involved in criminal activities to make money. And these activities include prostitution, stealing, thievery and many of them become drug addict. And this is one of the major problems faced by these run away children. Runaway kids who live on the streets often have to steel to meet their basic needs, like food. Some children are forced to do things which they don’t want to do and it has surveyed that number of kids are HIV AIDS positive and many other kinds of diseases are higher on streets.
They experience both physical and sexual abuse. The outcome of both sexual and physical abuse appears to have a cumulative effect on children and their life on streets turns tragic when they realize that “what once seemed like a solution soon become another situation from which they 
must escape” and the runaway who experienced both forms of abuse are the most likely to abuse alcohol or drugs, due to continuous depression force them to attempt suicide and feels that no one cares about them. As these children step out of their houses, they are surrounded by fear and risks. They are mostly ignored by common people like us. Behavior of people towards them force them to change their attitude, as they run away from their houses due to many serious reason then are also ignored by us and society also compels them to change their behavior and became rude to people and use rough and aggressive language. Runaway children in Pakistan experience many forms of violence and exploitation by society and the state. Streets children face abuse, torture and even death at the hands of the police and society.

"HEALTH DELINQUENCIES FACED BY THESE ANGELS"
Estimates by organizations working with street children suggest there are at least 5000 in the city at any one time, with the largest numbers based around data durbar or the railway station. These children earn their livings as scavengers, 
selling the empty bottles, cans and paper they collect each day. More and more children living on the streets are also being drawn into a life of petty crime by those running pick-pocketing or drug-pushing mafias.
These children have to face many problems. For instance, economic and social deficiency coupled with rising physical and sexual abuse, constitute the most serious threats to these runaway children. There is a lack access to safe drinking water which contributes to many major health problems. Including high rate of diarrhea, gastroenteritis etc. Moreover, Sexually Transmitted Diseases are found to be highest among these children, who hardly survive their teenage years.
Many of these children suffer deep psychological problems, sometimes cutting themselves with razors, alongside skin infections and problems arising from glue addiction. Many of the children suffer respiratory problems or stomach complaints.
When the children run from their houses they have nothing with them, most of these children join gangs and these gangs force them to beg, so numbers of these children are involved in begging, so city faces alarming rise in baggers.
