Are the Street Children human too?

Question:

So what suggests that anyone said they weren’t? Can you read?

Yes, I can. I just read another one of your touchie-feelie diatribes.  You know, I make a point to ignore alt.activism.children to avoid your sanctimonious preachings.  BTW, what’s this crap with you starting your own fan group? Sounds pretty pretentious to me. :There is an :alarming tendency by some law enforcement personnel :and civilians, business proprietors and their private security :firms, to view street children as almost sub-human. The fact is that people treat these children as if they were subhuman because they do not want to nurture them, they want the *problem* to go away.

Of course they want the problem to go away. And shall we presume you don’t, because it gives you something for you to act out your phony compassion routine over? There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. source unknown

I know the source. It’s Toto’s silly sig. :O(

Actually I didn’t start it.  And it has a dual purpose, but I add it so that it will get picked up by some other servers.   I thought it was funny when Eric started it for me since he and I are *not* buddies.   But heck, why not use it since he created it for me.  LOL  It’s no big deal, Stan. It’s the usenet.   :There is an :alarming tendency by some law enforcement personnel :and civilians, business proprietors and their private security :firms, to view street children as almost sub-human.

I want to root out the source, not work on the symptoms. You have posted no solutions here either.  I post my solutions which involve positive parenting with a knowledge of child development and respecting and listening to children.  In fact I am adding it to my next post to you where you ask about it If you have a solution please post it here.  Feel free to give any real solutions you think will work to stop the abuse of children by parents  or by other adults or by governments.  Feel free as a matter of fact to post solutions to problems like health care for children or getting enough food to children in various places in the world.  If you have solutions that are practical and that go to the heart of any children’s issues, I am open to hearing about them There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. source unknown I know the source.

I am sorry you dislike my sig line, but I see no point in arguing sigs.  I like the quote.  I would like to find the author, but have not managed that yet.   Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. source unknown
