Street Children in Vietnam
The situation that occurs in Vietnam nowadays is that one which concerns children abuse. This crisis needs special attention because it involves the future of one generation in one country. In a country surrounded by extreme poverty as Vietnam, children at any age are forced by their parents to leave the house during the daytime to find whatever job in order to earn money and take care of the family. For instance, some employers who exploit them and pay them with a pitiful salary hire those children who are not covered by any kind of insurance that can protect them against work incident or diseases. For a country that pretends to be liberal and a defender of the human rights as well, this kind of issues must be one of their main challenges in order to prove the rest of the world that they deserve their liberal and democratic status. Therefore, I am strongly against those one who continue to abuse, marginalize children and deprive them of their rights and liberty. http://www.worldproutassembly.org/archives/2006/11/vietnam_street.html

You show a really interesting point by saying that the situation in Vietnam with the children affects a whole generation. If the problems were blocked now, those children probably will be able to stop working but their adaptation to the society will be difficult. I am not saying that the children that suffer different kind of problems can’t grow up normally; I am just saying that this type of experiences marks someone for life.
The Vietnamese government has to deal not only with the present situation, but also with some specific programs of how to get those children treated with doctors in order to get them to adapt more easily. The experiences that Vietnamese children are living are going to be with them for the rest of their lives. The situation in Vietnam is going to affect not only this generation but also some coming a few next ones.
