Both texts explore the themes of parental hesitation and worries as well as children’s wish of pursuing their own life, though they differ in the point of view of parents and children when separation occurs. Parental hesitation and worries of letting children go is a natural part of separation. Though the process is not always easy and may include some conflicts, parents usually have the best intensions in mind. In A Private Talk with Holly the father finds it difficult to let go and imagine his life without his daughter Holly, “… Turn a back on home and walks out into the grown-up world forever.” The father conveys the separation feeling in the following words: turn a back, walks out and forever. Similarly, in the poem Wild Boy of the Road the parental hesitation is visible, “His mother is worrying about him… His mother is wishing her boy would come home.” The usage of the words worrying, boy and come home demonstrate the same feeling as in the story.

Homelessness has been a social problem worldwide for decades; however, the homelessness in Pinellas County has been an ever growing concern for city leaders.

They may have feelings of loss or guilt about the father not being in the home. The child may feel responsible for the parent’s leaving the home. Children sometimes accept blame for things going wrong at home when they really should not. While researching the literature on children from single-parent homes and juvenile delinquency some of the same factors presented regarding delinquent behavior. The literature also reports that without stability in their lives these children are at risk to be victims as well as perpetrators of violence.
My work on restorative justice over the past several years has taken me farther and farther down the road of thinking about community, the effect of crime on the community fabric, the responsibility of the community, the relationship of the community to all service systems. My thinking has been powerfully impacted by Tom Dewar, a colleague of John McKnight, who told a United Way committee that I participated in, "the net effect for communities of social services is negative," i.e. the way we have done social services has actually weakened communities. Subsequently, I found key writings by Tony Marshall and David Moore that describe how our increasing reliance on the criminal justice system has weakened communities. The question of redefining the relationship between communities and professional systems has become a central issue for me.
This is a major problem that we need to solve. The Bliss type of homeless should not be incorporated into the statistics we as a nation gather this is because they are not the true homeless people, they are the lazy and unmotivated people of society.

In every neighborhood there are the few suspicious neighbors that no one is really sure if they trust or not. Knowing some of the horrible things that go on in today’s society, people are extremely careful where they allowed their children to go on their own. There is a law that can either help parents relax a little, knowing their children are not being preyed upon in their own front lawn. This law can also inform parents, and any other citizen, of the dangerous people in their neighborhood that they should be aware of. This law is Megan’s Law.
In order to reduce this problem we can give the homeless and the unfortunate a sanitary place to stay. We already have lots of people who die from diseases and thus we don’t need to lose more people because of our government lack of care for the homeless. Every day there’s a crime committed against homeless people. Did you that Sixty-eight percent out of 137 people have been a victim of a violent attack since they've became homeless. Some solutions that we have is to shoot all the homeless people but that would be a bad solution because we would be
This can be damaging to a child because they feel as though one parent is paying the other to keep them. This is usually interpreted negatively. No matter how bad the situation is, if the child is not exposed to the financial distress of the parents, they will not be affected. Children that have no contact with one of their parents, usually suffer the most. Children whose parents divorce will be more likely to be isolated and antisocial than sociable and integrate.
Although no safety is perfect, we have a way to lock our home and control who come in. We can leave our belonging at home and have an expectation of find them safe when we return. Someone “homeless” does not have a place to live or these basic essentials. They are sleeping on the streets, in doorways, alleys, on park benches, abandoned building and behind bushes. Some homeless are staying in homeless shelters, tents, or a friend’s unfinished basement.
