Many Brasilian criminals, the worst violent ones, begin life on the streets. Out of necessity, for survival, they band together. Child prostitution, glue-sniffing, and violence is their world. Now, a child that knows NO love or human kindness, that is raped from age four onwards (would any child willingly prostitute himself?), that lives in constant fear of kidnap and death by groups which kill kids to sell their bodily organs (perhaps an urban legend, perhaps not: the fear on the street, however, is very real) or by police death squads that periodically "cleanse" the district---yes, I suppose a child can come through a life like that, get a regular job, put themselves through a GED program, and become successful.
