    И куда эта Единая Россия смотрит? Не может быть хуже, чем в США. Тут больше миллиона бездомных школьников!

    Может, тут какая-то разница в терминологии? Мне сложно представить и такие цифры, и что бездомные подростки вообще ходят в школу.
    Вероятно, речь о ситуации, когда ребенок живет с родителями в трейлере или каком-нибудь временном жилье?
