        well, street kids may include any kid whose parent cant afford the basic necessities of life..hence, such kid depends on people in the street for survival

        No. Street kids live on the street. I like the tweet, but we must educate.

        lol street kid is not someone who lives on the street. Its means a kid born into poverty that has to provide for themselves by doing whatever hustle they can on the streets. some still live with and have parents.

        Thank u for that explanation. Where I come from a street kid stays in the street. They are homeless. This is why I asked if there is a different definition for street kid. I needed to understand.
