Running away of children and youth from home is a significant phenomenon
in the American society. This phenomenon affects not only the children
or youth themselves, but it also exhausts the families, institutions,
and the community in general. This book, therefore, presents some facts
about those youth who experienced the deleterious effects of running
away from home. Moreover, the preceding factors that forced those youth
to leave their abodes into the streets are discussed in details. Data of
this study were taken from a previously carried out research study in
Florida, USA during the years of 1990-1991. Recommendations were given
so as to help solve this dilemma for the best of the American society
represented by its children, youth, and families. This book is
especially useful to professionals in Mental Health, Psychology, or
anyone else who may be in direct contact with children and youth who
have such psychosocial problems
