I chose this article to talk about because I think its really important to talk and doesn’t get enough emphasis. This article is about how nearly a million children were left behind in Venezuela while their parents migrate. Which means that these children are all on they own with out no guidance. How does this relate to displacement? Well, these children are about to be isolate and will have no one to go too. These children are feeling displace because there are not going to have that “childhood” like other kids. What I mean is that these children have to adapt from being a child to having responsibilities as adults. These kids are only in grade school and the parents in Venezuela are about to leave their children to find things such as food, work and medicine. Venezuela is going through an impact that is effecting all people in a terrible way. Parents fell forced to leave because if they don’t they won’t survive with the resources they have. The children are feeling displace because probably some of them don’t even know what is going on. These children how to adapt on taking. are of themselves while then depending on their parents. Every children needs their parents and without the parent they feel displace. Who they are going to talk to? How they are going to live on their own? These are some questions to consider when wondering what these children are going to do to provide themselves with whatever they need. In the article you will see how a year old child is feeding a baby! Even though this sound impressive and gives children advantages on some things adults do. Children is suppose to be enjoying life and be a kid instead jumping in to adulthood. While we have a big crisis going on for ourselves I think this article is important and should be an eye opener on what other people go through.
