This document discusses issues related to street children, infrastructure, and criminality in Brazil. It notes that over 3 million children live on the streets, with over 2 million underage prostitutes. Street children exist in groups for various reasons like poverty, violence, and opportunities to make money. Infrastructure investment in Brazil is low compared to other countries, impacting sectors like transportation, electricity, and ports. Crime levels remain high in Brazil, including homicide, kidnapping, organized crime, and police brutality, despite efforts to combat it.
