I think people should do something about it, because there are to many children living in poverty without education some of Them without parents.

I think this is a problem,and we must end it. I know that if we help these people ,we need money, it maybe let more people live in poverty,and if we printing a lot of money will lead to inflation,so a lot of people will lost their job and live in poverty,the poverty will dipper.

Its sad to think about how much children in BC alone are in poverty. There are children out there that would do almost anything for food when we complain about how we might not like it. I think BC should have plan to stop poverty.

It's very sad that so many children have to live in poverty, especially because British Columbia has the highest rate of child poverty. I think we should help by raising money or food for food banks, etc. Hopefully, within the next few years, the child poverty rate in B.C. will decrease. See you guys tomorrow✌🏼

I think that it's really sad and unfair that these poor children have to go through all of this stuff at a young age, and I think that the government should do something about it. I agree with Zoella about how we could help by raising money. See you all tomorrow!

I think that it is sad and that kids have to go through poverty and to be starved and to not have education or medication when they are sick and it makes me sad that we have basically every basic thing that they need

I think its too sad because maybe they don't have parents to take care of them if they get sick or starving and tired. we are so lucky that we have parents and guardians we don't know how lucky we are to have things like that. 0

I believe it is terrible thing that kids are in poverty admits not far but when you look at they might not have a choice it sucks cause they have to bag when you see us we come home look in a covered and easy hay I want to eat this they'd on the have any basic needs they dont have any shelter I think that all should be given a house no matter how poor cause it could save many peoples lives from disease or hunger if they give out food or even hydration so I think its horrible that the by dont have any things like education food shelter or maybe even ones to Love.

This is super scary and I think the problem is stupid parents drinking and then not able to take care of their child/children and losing there jobs so the kid could die or have mental ( physical and emotional) problems so they live in poverty.

I think Canadian's should stop and take care of their own children. Children are the future, and there won't be a future if no one helps them out.

I think that children living in poverty is a problem because sometimes they loose parents and can't take care of themselves. And don't get education or everyday needs.

It's very sad that kids like us live in poverty. There has to be a way that we can help them from starvation as well the needs like food, clothing and all the other needs that we have. To me this is very sad to think about all the kids (like us) to go and live on the streets or in relative poverty.🃏

I feel bad for the children who live in poverty because they need to do all the chores sometimes they cannot get an education. It is just sad that children who live in poverty have do to chores on their own. They DESERVE an education, they DESERVE help and they DESERVE to have food, water, clothes, definitely medison! They deserve all these things that we take for granted.

Child poverty is a serious problem because we have tons of people dying each year because they did not have enough nutritions.

I think poverty is serious and children that aren't living in it need to be more educated on it. This video makes me upset that these children have never had a home or a Christmas. I am extremely great full for the life that I have.

It is really bad that children are in poverty, and to think that many too; one in every ten children. Child poverty is a terrible thing and BC government isn't going much of anything to help this problem.

Child poverty is the worst thing mainly because they are still young and they still have so much life to go through and one reason why I believe children end up in poverty is that their parents are rather mean or neglects the child which pulls the poor kid to run from home.

child poverty is one of the worlds worst problems and can be solved,but the government refuses to fix or even try. but some people make charities and fundraisers to help stop child poverty.
