The lie you told has not been verified as truth by this article, not even close. You clearly said "2.5 million legal children starving in the streets here". Your article didn't verify that and if you think it did, you better read it again comrade. Let me explain to you, with illustration, how the NCHL collected their information on child homelessness, and it is
not child "starvation".
Here's the report, feel free to read it yourself and prove your claim to me.
https://nche.ed.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Federal-Data-Summary-SY-14.15-to-16.17-Final-Published-2.12.19.pdf I'll move on to the data collected.
"The data collected is of homeless students enrolled in public schools. "For the purposes of this report, the term state refers to all reporting entities, including the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico." The information in this report is a compilation of data about students who experienced homelessness during SYs2014-15, 2015-16, and2016-17. Students are included in this report if, at any point during those school years, they were enrolled in school and determined to be homeless by LEA homeless liaisons."
"A student’s primary nighttime residence is determined at the time of the initial identification of a child or youth as experiencing homelessness and is divided into four categories for data collection purposes: sheltered, unsheltered, hotels or motels, and doubled-up. The sheltered category includes all types of homeless shelters and transitional living programs, as well as students awaiting foster care placement. Unsheltered students include those living in cars, abandoned buildings, places not meant for humans to live, and substandard housing.Students living in hotels and motels are included when they lack alternative,adequate accommodations and their housing cannot be considered fixed, regular, and adequate. students who are doubled-up are those who are sharing housing with others due to a loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason. To be considered homeless, students sharing housing must also be determined to lack fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence."
To sum this up, my point is that you were intentionally misleading with your false statement that "2.5 million legal children are starving in the streets here." That's a lie. The study was clearly conducted on students currently registered in school that have no 'permanent' residence. They're staying in foster homes, the homes of relatives, motels, or transitional homes waiting for foster homes. They are not starving in the streets. And yes, there are some children living with their displaced parent in abandoned buildings or in their mobile home or even their car. But there is no way in hell that all 2.5 million are without a roof over their heads or starving as you claimed. Good try though comrade, keep trying.
