Rob Parsons delivers a bleak insight into the harsh lives of the city's street youngsters. In the chaos of post-communist Russia, thousands of Moscow children have turned to crime in a desperate struggle to survive. One 15-year-old Parsons meets has turned to prostitution while a penal colony for teenagers he visits is so grossly underfunded he is asked fora donation. The number of youngsters involved in theft, violence and prostitution is so great that the city's police force is stretched to breaking point.

Police trawl Moscow's railway stations for runaways who will be detained briefly before returningto life on the streets.
