In many cases these children have socially excluded themselves by unacceptable behaviour.
You may say that this is not their fault, as they do not have the appropriate adult role models to give them mentoring.
Inadequate parents breed inadequate children....their inadequacies are
not the fault of the rest of society, and they cannot be mended by giving them material things.....they may not be able to be mended at all.
