Street children are called ragamuffin, street urchins, foundlings, tokais, waifs and strays, rootless children and so on. Most of them are the abandoned children of their parents. So, nobody has any control over them. Generally, they earn their livelihood begging, stealing, cheating and doing manual jobs.

So, people in general, and the govt in particular, should take all possible measures to ensure a better life for the rootless children. Otherwise, they will become troublemakers and cause immense harm to society.
