Being a child in San Pedro Sula, Honduras

San Pedro Sula is the most dangerous town in Honduras, where the murder rate of 90 per 100,000 is the highest in the world. In San Pedro Sula the rate is 187. Many of these murders are of kids. Since February 42 kids have been killed. You can understand why kids are leaving the town and seeking refuge in the US. Of the 42 killed, five to ten of them were kids who had been deported from the US.

It seems ridiculous that some of us claim these kids are just immigrants. What would you do if you lived in a nightmare like San Pedro Sula?
