10:16 am
not a bad example, you sniff glue to forget what has happened going on. i was not a visual so big. they say you don't feel like your son when you're high. i'm not saying that i don't want that. i got this out. i didn't, i don't remember much of what is happening out in the jails for children, and they are like maybe evil dungeons. there are small cells with steel bars on the gates and on the windows being locked inside. so miami overcrowding in a small space. a ruthless war against drugs is being waged in the philippines and a countless number of children are among its casualties. thousands of children live
10:17 am
on the streets because their parents are either in prison or dead. a large number of children living on the streets have parents that are too poor to take care of them. the street is the home for thousands of children whose wellbeing doesn't really interest anyone. christian 17 is the leader of a gang that lives inside a bridge. in manila, the children chose this place to make it harder for adults to reach them, especially the police who often harass children on the streets. i don't know about some of those who live here. have parents example my mum, i saw her for fresh meat and that 1 may now study her because we all code for
10:18 am
corrupt. i'm just, i'm and i'm a sound about you know, i did a lot of time in people might end up with a lot of this is where we kill time. even though it's dangerous here, you know what i meant and i'm glad i'm being here is not good for us. and especially when i think about what could happen that morning for no, i'm not and have not been up when i missed news. had a rotten fish to get up and i got up and there was no use in taking him to the hospital that night when he called for help. no one came. i love, and i think you know, a lot of the folks who have to answer to move now from, you know, committed a crime that was on the road led these
10:19 am
children would rather risk life on the streets than to be taken into care. which in the philippines works like a prison. the youngest members of christian's gang are only 8 years old. somebody examples? i'm a hot shot. i got them in law. were hoping to spawn 2 conditions. i knew on me the last of us and also we have problems that go i am left wondering and a lot of them up were doing anything other than i'm in and out of it. i'm not going to one up will mock related proud of ourselves up even though we can't come to school? not a about the type that side. i mean, we know that we live a difficult life. i know that even if we lived in the streets, it's to feel sick. ah, by according
10:20 am
to the estimates, manila has 30000 street children. they beg or steal to get food. their main aid comes from organizations that help children in the bloody war against drugs in the philippines. these children are left even more exposed to the hard hand of the wall. the children in care for many of them have very little contact with their families, so they really need bring in a peer group mostly supporting a child. they have very, very high rates of contact with the law. and most of the time, it's very, very negative contact, very high rates of experiencing the lace violence and torture. they frequently arrests is obvious fairly at times. is this some substance abuse amongst them and amongst the people that should be caring for them to come in and
10:21 am
parents as high rates of incarceration of their family members. so it's a very difficult group of 2 things to work with. christians gang lives in keogh, a poor suburb of manila, the capital of the philippines. the front of it's famous catholic church is the home of the poor. many of the members of christians, gang, still have parents. christian only has a father somewhere far away. and he has a new family, his gang of street children where he takes care of the smaller ones that building and we regard each other in a super nice as equals. but i'm not going through the arguments and you know, i got what i mean. you just, how about boston given that what we're doing in this protest room bridge and we're
10:22 am
selling groceries so that we can buy film and so break down the comes to earn your living fighters that often on a boy that it's a hard life for the families of the children of key aapl caught in the midst of the war on drugs instigated by president do tatay, where the poor accused of being drug dealers are killed or locked away. raids are part of everyday life, at least in these places, where the parents of christians, young friends, live, the street children of key are often arrested. the leaders of the philippines want to lower the age of criminal liability from the current 15 to 9 or 12. this means that even younger children could see themselves behind bars when the
10:23 am
age of 12 that have already been put inside the detention facilities. that will be you would count how many children from 15 from 12 to 15 that big put to jail. and then you still have this war on drugs that also put people in jail instead of doing rehab on community based intervention. this is really problematic and the justice system is not yet ready for that. a lot of children are not afraid specially those on the streets, those children mission that have a permanent home. they have also interviewed children in situations which are now who are no friends because they felt they feel like and in time they can be just rest. once they are children who are involved in
10:24 am
the n.g.o.s heights lujan helps the children on the streets. the children of chiappe will alert louise when they're in trouble. nobody likes playing with this white house doing so when i receive thank you, he will get me both of these. if you believe that having you on yes. i know. yes, there are no charges pressed against them and their personal interest in them. i guess i do not do. i think christian has gone
10:25 am
missing. i. one of the children saw the police take them, but now no one knows where he is. i sometimes street children are arrested without a reason. many tell of torture and interrogation in the institutions. so the we sue, our men has called the representatives of the commission on human rights in august . and i mean, you know, that we know that no christian was arrested because the police were looking for a pickpocket. but now he's free again. you know, not for me to know. it was my 1st time in jail that i love all been telling the police for months and run into was an accused of stealing our identity. what i got, but who didn't steal enough. we were just comes down its numbers because the police saws going around and they said that being a woman, didn't they make me a scapegoat? you know, i, you know, it's always been that appalling and not by me speech me. and so my panel stopped. i
10:26 am
know, boy, you know about reason while i was in hospital, i still felt afraid the whole, it's not out of the me, the doctor knew i was in pain and us talking to, you know, what we know is, you know, we don't know what was you know by now it's awfully hard just pounding because i'm afraid. oh no, that's not being arrested for no good reason. i do not doubt my stuff sultans to forget about. i'm not what i wish i had to get away. i remind myself that i really haven't done anything like that ever. and i don't think the war against drugs has hardened attitudes towards crime. and this also goes for children. thousands of adults and dozens of children have been killed in police operations in recent years. and thousands of children have lost their parents
10:27 am
because of this war. i have a duty to the police and bus haasan are planning a raid. who would like this when they are searching for drug dealers? children who sniff glue and minors on the streets after the curfew. 10 pm. that during the past 2 years, the police have arrested over 1300 children for drug related crimes. even tonight, the group is targeting 2 under-aged methamphetamine dealers they were called in the number of irish every month. minimal 100 arrests for my
10:28 am
soul. but still that compared to what that should be. because of this period, 2 years since we were on drugs, essential where other substances, where is the meth and such, i mean prime time. so of course that i'll get there some other time to come here. push the money. i mean, my need to stand up, stand up, stand up for a while and they are only aware enough of what 1000 people are going to be
10:29 am
going to do to you 16 schools. he said his only 16 years old. how about you go in after one or 2 and give them out recently in this house a 100 business, a month of trouble soul when we positively. but the trouble came back to our big and showed less that they really bought the ship. so immediately read that that i rest the boys brothers are putting yourself into the plants, but when their bus is that after this we would be turning them over to the
10:30 am
social workers fire there during us drug dealing is a major risk even for minors, according to the statistics over 100 children have been killed over 3 years in the war against drugs. you know, those troops weren't ours. we were playing mobile legends when the raid started panicking and having to go to school to have stopped home alone. we no longer have money for it. we don't mung salary only covers food. this is every day life for those who live in extreme poverty. the boys other brothers already in prison for different reasons. the 16 year old knows that he will go to a correctional facility maybe for
10:31 am
a long time. lieutenant kapur also understands that many crimes stem from extreme poverty. but he believes that there is no alternative to arresting them for me. being in the service for, for almost 3 years. i have encountered that the miners when it's a minority, that those are 14 years old, 13 years old. they are involved in all they do, even though you know for me this may 30th, we will only lessen the penalty, but we still have to arrest them because they are taking advantage of that situation that i am only a child. so i would let me put them here, told us that they live by the police. every night, the station is filled with children who have broken curfew. they get to go home if
10:32 am
their parents are to be found. otherwise, they will be taken into a shelter. and become a camp who is one of the areas with the most street children, a place to challenger, looking down on the social work is a taking you away. but it didn't come with us. it's ok to come up. but this is how manila solves that. social issues, the streets are forcibly emptied in the morning of those who have no time to run.
10:33 am
according to unicef, the philippines have a couple 1000000 abandoned or discarded children. they run from the social services rescue operation. i. d. c. mother and child who was using diesel teaching i am on it so she doesn't just take it easy. i think sometimes it's a challenge, but if you see anything about it when she comes from our house, we're just selling. we're selling it. what is it, what you have in your hand? they looked it up. i mean, it was like
10:34 am
a good blow. my love back to where selling my family is. there was, it was never a comment on a hot chili. i was a fan of the actually children don't want to be in institutions. they have a gun as a street scene that they feel it's easier on the street because they now have to beg and they can do what they play games go on in the store. little. so i hear long in the his song. the problem is that the children go back to the streets, even though that has been returned to the families agree, none of them should have been such an easy enough if we have a 15 year old mother with a year old child to overindulge in the mom movies sometimes we have babies who's been taken with him, has been the rescue of the
10:35 am
street. children is like a never ending circle where children are taken, released back to the streets and taken again inside the same gate is a shelter for the homeless and a correctional facility for children who have committed crimes. the human rights commission consider both places as prison and would have to be some of the stuff and it looks like prison that the say they have rule. 5 which would have bars the wires, have metal be his as the artist. they are very few sleeping spaces, not enough for all children to be inside a building would be doing not even children who wind up here often come from alleys like these extreme poverty. in the center of manila,
10:36 am
raymond's mother has asked and then go to help her. the police arrested her son and took him to an institution because the boy threw a stone that broke a windshield from a passing bus. in about it, when spring break, the goal was a screw hit the clones. this is the 3rd time raymond has been arrested for the 1st time. he ended up in a youth correctional facility because he is over 15 years old. we believe rape mon raymond crowell denotes, he was held down by the police threatening to snap him if he wouldn't stop. and he was really crowing up that no one obama painful to get the line if you said, tried to hit a small boy, you can totes him babysat by now. that the
10:37 am
owner of the bus demanded that the mother pay over $80.00 euros. but those who live in these alleys can't afford it, but need that last weekend, i said to them, i sell flowers on the street. he said to me that the situation is this old woman easy to get, that if you will play on one side, that take the boy into an institution not unhealthy, and the 2 highest minimum. beyond that, i said no, this company, he said the miner and he hasn't killed anyone. raymond and rain old live with their mother and 2 siblings in terrible conditions.
10:38 am
they've hardly ever gone to school. they've encountered the police a lot more than that. i knew when i was honeymooning, i'm going to get there. and i hope raymond, want to experience what i've made it through to find that i learned definitely wouldn't like it. he might want to commit suicide in the institution. i don't wish to no one. i'm willing to do my and many take their lives because it's so bad there. and in that the food is terrible. the mop and even the rice is uncooked, you know, playing with them and to land on anybody when they get that something
10:39 am
the mother goes to the city hall to ask the prosecutor if charges have been filed against the boy. it turns out that charges haven't been filed yet, but the child has been taken into an institution for a small crime in his brain and now in jail. yes, he is a good president windshield. it wasn't intentional, you know. but hi to lujan has grown accustomed to saving children who have been in prison for small crimes or for no reason at all. they help mothers navigate a complicated web of bureaucracy to find their children at the gates of the center open. and you can hear children crying from the passing
10:40 am
cars. their move from the city to another center. boy's town, i thought that was the famous case might be over on wednesday because it was a small crime. just small fantasy. my heart, i'm not a gun, he's a minor only 16 years after the authorities clean up 2 children are released from the shelter according to the law, children under 15 can't be jailed. first, a social worker takes the boy's information in order to find their families. many street children do have a family and i am the boss is united money says the canal has been wandering around like mad. yes. i don't belive social workers cotton again. i just think that the moment of so much going on the street children almost always come
10:41 am
from broken homes. the parents are often too exhausted to take care of children. after mari cell has 6 children. they live in a small room and mari sell sells used clothing with her sister. that normally isn't even enough for a day's meal. and outside the single parent in order to get food daily, i go around selling secondhand clothes with my older sister and i know i mean me by force i will buy you. i also work in booking and whatnot. i do anything that is available and i'll take things to a pawn shop because of my work. i can't always take care of my children all the time. last week, as i look out. i do know that you
10:42 am
raymond's mother returns to the correctional facility after 3 nights. the boys should be released today. the boy leaves the building with short hair and they're not doing it on them and they don't pull any funny side. and we slept on plastic mats on cement floor. that's a cement. well, i mean, i teach this is a correctional facility that takes 15 to 18 year olds, priest shay cullen, has arrived to his regular rescue missions to the mara nneka youth home. he has seen many children under 15 years old in these places. the children are practically locked up and vulnerable to violence from the older ones.

10:44 am
in along up 000-000-0000 extension 000 people. john paul's father is a single parent. his wife left when the child was 5 years old. what for you? it was like many poor filipinos. this father works for weeks on end, on construction sites, far away from home. to live up to the pay is poor. so, the children are used to being home alone from a young age. they didn't, and i know i got you know, one fact that i'm sometimes i'm so tired from work my father and i when i come home, i go to bed at the time because i have to leave for work early and i think
10:45 am
everything is on somebody i would get included, i mean, we won't have food unless i work, and if i don't care about losing my wife, that's about that. but i don't want to lose my children. and if i'm going to bed, i'm over that one moment that made up when i'm old and i hope that one day the children will take care of me, you know, but i'm still mad at them and i'm not talking one parent and ask them out. but they understand that i didn't abandon from them. you know how to fit in in the winter. you can apply that. even though i couldn't send of the school today, they didn't start my niggas in any noble
