I have visited a railway station and spent the day with kids living there, in Mumbai - I write about it in my book, The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India. A lot of these kids run away and take trains, often without even knowing where they're heading, and end up living in the train stations where they arrive. Besides addiction, they're usually victims of abuse and harassment, and are extremely vulnerable to trafficking, child labor and the sex trade. More people need to support quality NGOs that are going something to help these kids. Oasis India is a great start. This is reality for many thousands of children.
