Authorities estimate that there are as many as 250 such children in the Vancouver school system and worry that the parentless children are targets of crime by gangs of other young people. There are interviews of school officials, police and some of the astronaut kids, and re-enactments of confrontations between the kids and gangs. <7mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
