Estimates on the numbers of Brazilian Street Children vary from 200 000 to 8 million . In 1992,
a head count of children sleeping in the streets of Great Rio (the centre of Rio de Janeiro)
showed 900 . In one recent survey in Sao Paulo, 609 children were found to be sleeping on the
streets, at least 50 were under 12 and unaccompanied by adult relations.
