Running Away
|
Running
away is a very serious problem. According to the National Runaway
Switchboard, an organization that takes calls and helps kids who have
run away or are thinking of running away, one in seven kids between the
ages of 10 and 18 will run away. And there are 1.3 million runaway and
homeless kids living on the streets in the United States. As many as
100,000 of these runaway and homeless kids in the United States are
preteens. This information is proided by KidsHealth.org.
