Like young children, they aren't always where they should be and they aren't always following along with their mothers and might wander into harm's way ....

Although my center is new, we receive a lot of children daily. Some mothers told me their children never had seen sunlight until they brought them to this center. That proved that we need such centers in Yemen to help these children.

The two sides reached an accord to pay $12m for each of the 426 HIV infected children and 20 mothers who are also contaminated with HIV.

Mothers, alone with children, are seen as easy targets for the robbers striking this area.

Sometimes, mothers say and do things that seem like they don't want their kids... but when you look more closely, you realize that they're doing those kids a favor. They're just trying to give them a better life.

As children, if we cut ourselves at the beach, our mothers told us to wash it in the ocean - seawater was always perceived to be clean and healthy. We are seeing ominous signs that this is changing - surfers in California are now advised to have regular hepatitis inoculations and you really don't want to expose an open wound to near shore water. We should begin to worry deeply about the health of the oceans.
