Inhaling Adhesives Get Orphaned Indians High


There is an article in the Calcutta, India Telegraph that talks about how orphaned Indian youngsters are getting high on inhaling adhesives at the local railway station. The inhaling of adhesives is used to curb hunger pains and the injuries from fighting other kids for survival.

Rescue efforts for some of these youth are taking place, however. The Hope Foundation and Cini Asha are taking steps to befriend some of these youngsters then bring them back to their facilities to treat their addictions and relieve them from the railway lifestyle.
