LOL. Great novelty account. Fine trolling.

You could have checked the age of my account. Lazy accusation... Why would homeless people not be friendly to kids? They have nothing to fear from them and they can not really use them to extract something they want. Homeless people are humans too who like to feel joy. Kids can bring joy. So I have genuinely seen multiple homeless people being nice to kids.

Maybe we have a different environment imagined. I was talking about rather rich central Europe, where you never really see more than 5 homeless people at once. Sex workers on the street are limited to certain areas and times of day. Outside these times they can only meet customers inside. So kids living in areas nearby are normally not influenced by sex work.

Sorry if you feel trolled, but it seems I couldn't imagine what a shithole you guys seem to be living in.

The US has other types of homeless, nothing like you describe. The dissonance is simply because you and the other commenter have wastly different experience and haven't seen "the other side", not because any one of you is wrong or trolling.
