Abstract
To talk about asphalt children is to discuss about children, human beings in their first ages of life, existing social subjects, social actors/actresses, and not about a problem, about objects of interventions. As a human, the asphalt child acts and reacts in a marginal social context, is active, and is a subject of rights as all human beings are. It is a social fact; even though it is not the main way used by the majority society.
