The problem isn't the kids and it isn't the adults. There is no compulsory school system and no other forms of training for these kids. There are no social services to help when there is no food or medicine for them. There is no assistance for their parents so that they can help keep the kids at home. Most time the kids are put out to fend for themselves and then made to send what little money they get back home. It isn't a problem where any one segment of society can be blamed. Would it be better if the kids got into drug dealing or stealing and mugging people? There isn't an easy solution here. It falls back on the thai gov't to solve these problems. Lets not point fingers here.
