Thousands of Children Live on the Street | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece

“Very often,” as Christidou says, “we can see children near churches or in the regions near the center. In the evening, children can be found not in the center of the city but in places where there are a lot of bars and restaurants and people go to have fun”.
Patras has the same problem of children living on the street, but these children are mostly immigrants who try to leave from the city and the country with their families.
According to Christidou, “some children work and beg on the street in order to contribute to the family income. However, most of them work hard and give their earnings to exploitation networks. The merchants of this modern human trafficking often transfer the children from one region to another in order not to be noticed by the police”.
