Poverty, single moms, working two or three jobs. Mental health, drug. Alcohol abuse. Lack of parental education. Lack of time, money, resources. Abilities orl lack thereof,disabilities. No healthcare. No transportation . No or poor habitation . One room apt, lots of kids. Not enough time or money or food. Or sleep or help or hope or kknowledge of where how to even get these things.

Parents raised in poverty and violence usually stay here. Rinse.repet.
