What changes do you plan on making to the article? I would suggest taking the North America section and making it a sub-section under a new section (perhaps called Case Studies or Regional Studies,etc) rather than a sub-section under Overview as this doesn't seem to make much sense structurally. Perhaps in the overview section you can talk about what other causes for runaways you were able to find in your research in relation to places other than the Global North (do the causes and reasoning stay the same? Are there other cultural or economical factors for runaways in countries in the Global South?) perhaps you could even create some small sub-sections here to discuss any specific country information you are able to find, if you are able to find a decent amount to make sub-sections worth-while.

I think the sources you have found lend you towards a good start in in-putting a more global view of the article. Perhaps see what other specific country or regional sources you can find so that you are able to compare/contrast each country/region but the same general statistics for a clearer understanding of the phenomenon of runaways.

Hi Tatej – I’m glad to see some editing on this article. Please take Kaplet’s comments into account. My recommendations are: If you do all four of these things, you will be on your way to a strong draft of an article. Good luck! Please consult me for help as needed!

 * Look carefully at the source you have on India and at least two other non-U.S. examples (perhaps Brazil?) What do these articles say about why kids run away?  The consequences for them?  These are the findings you will use to re-write the overview section to reflect a global youth studies perspective.
 * Please create a section on government or non-profit responses to run aways.
 * Please include the psychological, social, and physical consequences of running away, using the four regional case studies.
 * Please expand the lead paragraph.
