5. Lewis Aptekar wrote in one paper
“For the last decade, I have been studying
children. I view them as both needy and bold,”
he wrote in one paper. “I have seen them in
streets that have increasingly become both
theatre and war zone. Observing the children
and how people have reacted to them not only
has forced me to think about growing up without
the security of parental love but has made me
contemplate the potential rewards of life without
parental restraint.”
