Anyone seen "Long Way 'Round"? There's a really gut-wrenching account on there of meeting up with some orphaned/abandoned children in Ullan Batar (Mongolia); these kids are literally on their own in an "encampment" in the sewers/storm drains in the city (it's the only place reasonably secure/safe/warm) where older kids around 8 or 9 look out for little ones as young as one or two. Simply crazy. It blows my mind that children can be allowed to exist in conditions like that... Poverty is the worst disease facing planet earth, without a doubt.
