Glue sniffing is a huge problem among the street children of Delhi.
And they will do anything to get their daily fix of glue.
Anything. That's the operative word here.
Young children. Under 10.
The toluene that is inhaled from the glue, eats into their internal organs, especially the brain.
And the more the inhalant impacts the brain, the more the brain craves for the inhalant.
It's a global problem. Is the world prepared to turn industrial glue and cough syrup into controlled substances? Or, to be more precise, are we prepared to build a world where the educational, nutritional and emotional needs of every child are met, irrespective of the circumstances of their parent?
