Invisible Child: Dasani’s Homeless Life
If all the poverty statistics in this article are accurate, in about 10 years we can expect to see a reversal of the decline in US violent crime that's been happening since the 90s.<p>What can be done- what is the right mix of social policy and tough love?  Clearly homeless drug users shouldn't have 8 kids- but how can this be prevented?  Should we take away children from all homeless or drug addict parents as soon as they're born?  How do other civilized countries handle this situation?<p>It makes me sick that I pay around 40% in state and federal taxes and social security (not that much lower than Western European countries) yet there is still so much poverty and poverty related issues in our country.
