Murdered With Impunity, The Street Children of Central and South America.

Selvyn says he is 14 but he looks about eight. His feet are bare, his clothes torn and his eyes heavy with the effects of sniffing a powerful glue. His home is nearby, beneath the stars and beside a municipal rubbish dump. His neighbours are other street children - equally feral and ragged and loaded - and the hovering vultures which compete with them for scraps of food on the dump.
They are among thousands of street children in Tegucigalpa and thousands more in Guatemala City and in San Salvador whose chances of making it out of their teens alive sometimes seem as slim as their malnourished frames.
Local children's organisations claim that hundreds of children and young people have already been killed with gunshots to the back of the head in summary executions that almost always go undetected and unpunished.
The killings are reaching epidemic proportions in parts of Central America. In April alone, in Honduras, there were 72 such deaths, last year 549 and a total of 1,817 since 1998, according to the organisation that works with street children, Casa Alianza.
