Is this Negligence?

Some parents are quite ignorant to what their children get up to. Sometimes this is to the extent that they expose them to risk. This picture shows that many young children are left to spend their day aimlessly while their parents go to earn their daily bread. Some of these children end up on the streets, getting involved in bad behaviour and sometimes getting lost.

A single snapshot doesnt give an overview of all that is happening around. Most of these children’s parents or older siblings lurk around to watch them. The parent could have been standing right next to the photographer. As proof, the toycar on the photo would literary be forcefuly taken away from the child in seconds were there to be a lack of adult supervision in any part of Kenya. Such toys, which are rarety for most children in Kenya, would provide anybody who can acquire and sell it to someone else with a meal for the day.
