World in Action S31E24 · Throwaway Children

Overview

Depicts England's street children. It is not only countries in distant parts of the world where children live their lives on the streets. Even in the Western world, there are young people who choose to leave their own families or foster homes to fend for themselves. They are short of money and many are lured into crime, prostitution and begging. Some use drugs as a temporary escape. This documentary portrays sisters Mandy and Debbie, two of London's homeless girls who live on the streets of London.
