3. Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
The number of children who are loitering in cities and towns increases day after day. Their
number has greatly increased nowadays. They are disadvantaged groups of children who are

problems. There are number of factors that lead to the situation of which one is the death of
parents or guardians. Death of parents or guardians leads to the increase of orphans. The death

of parents or guardians may be caused by car accidents, pandemic diseases such as HIV and
AIDS and so forth. Due to the shortage of basic needs of life and parental care, the orphans
move away from home soon after the death of their parents or guardians.
Single parent families or out of marriage bearing is another cause for loitering children. Some
of these families are headed by too young and poor mothers. Due to their incapability to provide
the basic needs of life to the family members, their children run away from home looking for
better opportunities in other places.
Therefore, the loitering children in cities and towns are not only those whose parents or
guardians died but also there are other children with parents who are roaming in town. The
government needs to find the solution for this including finding the place for them to live and
providing them with basic rights like quality education, safe living environment, good health
and parental care.
