where are their parents? If you cannot take care of them, don't bring them to this world.

‘Important’ families continue to dominate national politics The family politics continues and the daughters, wives and sons of the ‘noble politicians’ keep on usurping the rights of genuine and rightful public representatives. Book: Who owns 'Pak'istan? Robber Barrons of Pakistan It is these people (leeches), their like, Kith and Kin who own Pakistan, for whom the system works. Their true worth is not known even to government. My investigations have revealed that top 44 buisiness groups own assets worth Rs 500 billion or equal to the size of Pakistan's budget. YET THEY PAY MARGINAL INCOME TAX. In several cases no tax at all.

OMG - Have some heart in your chest. Probably their parents are unemployed and poor. The blame also goes to the society (including our leaders and elites) to have educated the parents with skills, provide them opportunities for jobs, so they can take care of their children. Life is not that simple to deny children to any couples, rich or poor. Life should be made easier by creating a social infrastructure that served the people and not the landlords and elites

IF we pay more attention to family planning and provide counter septives with some incentives fro parents i think some of these problems can be resolved otherwise we will never be a social walfare state we want to be

They should be sent to Edhi Homes and Edhi homes be financed better

Very well said "Pak Paupers", I totally agree with your assessment of the root cause of the problem. But the unfortunate part is that there doesn't seem to be any end in near sight to it.

to me this is a sign of a society that has become totally indifferent to humane values,,,no body cares for others here...

This image reflects the prevailing culture in the country. Country needs transformation in beliefs,character,and behavior.

Heart breaking!! We are still, where we were 60 years ago. This shows our Past, Present & Future. Instead, blaming / criticizing. Are we doing anything about this? They need help. Any plan / or thoughts?????????

If you consider 5% of population in every society are Saint and an equal number are Criminals irrespective whatever you may do. It is how we treat these two groups of people determines the way rest of the 90% of the society would behave. And there comes the rule of law and modern institutional support. But in India and I guess true for Pakistan as well, people are so fragmented and lost in issues which are related to language, caste, religion etc that we forget about 'real important' issues. And the crooks take advantage of that. After all it's our window that is broken and send an invite to all crooks to lead us. Until we fix the broken window we will have to live with them and with such heart-wrenching stories. You have to grow insensitive to live in these countries..sad but true.

Forced family planning is the only solution to curb the menace.

I have researched into these children. Often they don't know who there parents are but looking in depth suggests that they are not orphans but kids abandoned by their biological parents. Often, the reason is a product of prostitution where a father bears no responsibility towards these kids and the mother being forced to abandon her kids because of no support. If the state can't afford to look after these kids, the state can actually have a system of DNA testing to trace the father and then castrate him as well as, make him pay for his deeds (deterrence effect). As to the genuine destitutes, the society can organise some form of care like Edhi Trust etc. once the numbers are sharply reduced through educating the prostitutes on how to avoid pregnancy, abortion and tracing and castrating the fathers.

What a pity. In the backyard of where I live is a are populated by the wretced of the land of the pure, while festivities continued till late at night, god knows to what end, these families huddled in their makeshift homes trying to stay warm under their rags...close by a drinking orgy went on unabated. the only silverling in all this will be the street children scrambling to pick up the empty jhonny walkes to make a dime or two. heartyless and calous!!!!!!!

Are there any plans to help these kids or this is just an another daily news item? Start some concrete work so we can contribute to this cause.

Take your country and ours [Malaysia] An orphanage burnt down and the children were homeless.By next day dozens of people and companies went there and pledged funds to restore it within days.The difference is that your people produce children in numbers without due regard of their future.We especially the non muslims are different.You will find no street children in our country.Family planning is not against Islam.It is time your mullahs and government took up this issue.

i think we should think over the root cause of this menace.. and that is "lack of education" among our people.. you see, family planning can take place only if the people get to know the risks involved in increasing the family. similarly other problems.. ofcourse if u put these children in schools, the possibility of producing criminal minds would also be decreased. the parents and the Gov. both only can contribute..the later being passive though!

These children,when they grow up, may not have much to give back to the society or even parents.
