Under the Russia segment of this article, it is claimed that "experts" have estimated that the Russian street children population has risen to 2-4 million. Well not only was this claim not mentioned once in the citation given, but the supposed "experts", the FCF A.k.a. Family International, is a doomsday pedophile Christian cult founded in California. How anyone could even confuse this for an expert opinion on the issue? Now I don't have the time to sort through all of the edits to the page's history and I'd be happy if someone else could see where this dubious source came from, I am legitimately confused what motive someone would have for putting it into the article. Is this fake news, and if so, for whatever purpose? Is this an actual FCF member WP:POVPUSH ing? The whole thing mind boggles me.

I'm removing this until and unless someone can find a more reliable source for the segment on juvenile homeless population growth in Russia.

: Someone has added a figure of 2,500,000 street children again. That's completely insane, since it's 4x times more than the total amount of homeless people in the US (around 650,000) with 2 times smaller population. If that was true, all Russian cities would look like a scene from Mad Max 2, which is clearly not the case as of today. Finstergeist (talk) 20:55, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Street-kids were also common during the Great Depression: there's quite a lot of articles over the internet to prove it. Just saying it would be worth adding in.184.186.4.209 (talk) 02:38, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Great article. Covers the topic very well. Very informative and full of knowledge. Maybe give more background on the causes of this problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oqazi1 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
