1988 SPECIAL REPORT: "TEEN RUNAWAYS"
No teenager ever aspires to become homeless, running from the very people who were supposed to care and protect him. However, 1.6 to 2.8 million teens runaway from home each year, according to the National Runaway Switchboard. Many of these teenagers are abused sexually, physically and emotionally. They run for safety but instead end up fleeing right into an abyss of dangerous predators seeking vulnerable youth who only yearn for the comfort of a caring body.

Yo, thank you so much for posting. I want to f-ing cry bc I was an unwanted child. I experienced a lot of bs... What I am thankful for: never being an addict or prostituted. Depression and uncontrollable anxiety are my biggest struggles
You are legit one of my favorite channels. The amount of programs you post from the 70s 80s 90s and more is beyond educational and interesting. No page like this! Thanks!
I definitely feel like running away, or run away teens, are not as common as it use to be in the 80s/90s. I remember it was actually like a trend to run away & "show them" when I was a kid in the late 90s.

Leaving the ad's in was a nice touch.
RIP Guru.
My heart broke at 22:36. I've been told that by "parents", who I've asked if it was ok that their child stayed in my home. It's shocking. Sometimes, all it takes is an adult, who a child can trust, to really listen. I realize that not all of them can be helped, and early intervention is the key. As a society, we need to give it an honest try. I have 23 non-bios that call me "Momma Karen". I won't ever stop loving any of them. Tell your family & friends you love them. No one is promised tomorrow. Be blessed, today and always. =)

Holy shit. overlaying the audio at the beginning with that new gangstarr slap was genius. Sheesh.
NYC was a teen runaway haven especially back in the 70's and the 80's most of them would sleep in underneath 42nd Street Grand Central tunnels also the loft had gay runaways or parents thrown out of house after they told their parents that were gay
So heartbreaking!

If you run away today there’s a high chance you won’t survive due to the cost of living. Back then, it seemed like you could run away and still have a promising future.

Totally understand I ran away from home when I was teen
As a Gen x from Queens NYC I can tell you that so many of us ran away. Most went home after a few days but a few didn't. Growing up in NYC in the 80s and 90s was no joke. Google it! Life was hard! The crack epidemic was rampant. Lots of our homes were toxic as dysfunctional. Now a days NYC is much safer. Reagan and Guilliani cleaned it up and provided help.

Such a shame that journalism has become what it has. Who would've known back in 88 that the standard for journalism nowadays would be straight up Yellow Journalism. The price of shorter attention spans for media.
