4. Question #4 Why are most kids there? Most children are there because there parents can not take care of them. They cant afford to pay for all the needs. Some of them very few are there because their parent’s have been taken away. Some kids parents are in prison. Some of the parents have died and other family members can’t afford to take care of them.
