My brother is one of them. We have tried to help him countless times. He continues to say he prefers it on the streets and that his companions do also. His reason are drugs and alcohol and the belief that society owes him a free ride. Good answer though...somebody must care. +6

Hi Science Dude. I really am sorry to hear this news about your brother. Was it the drink and drugs that drove him to the streets? I can't imagine living on the streets was his initial game plan! Him saying ‘Society owes him a free ride' is just an 'Attack/Defence mechanism. When you are riddled with drugs and alcohol the world can often seem a great place and 'Off the Cuff' egoistic remarks like that are common place. I agree. Neither you or anybody can help him unless he asks for it. If it happens at all it will be when he hits an all time low like a lot of alcoholics say at Alcoholics Anonymous. Hope this helps my friend.

Thank you,Science Dude. Naturally,I am sorry to hear about your brother,and you are evidently concerned about your brother and want to try to help him get back into society again. Sadly it seems many of those sleeping rough and begging on city streets are doing it to feed a drug habit they have acquired and cannot get rid of,so the best place for them would be in a rehab hospital where they can "dry out" under professional supervision.
You will notice that Geoff The Crusader has put a further comment on HIS answer [above]--which I think is compassionate and relevant,and which you [Science Dude] may choose to comment further upon.
