Via NDTV.com in India:
International Children’s Rights Day was celebrated this past November 20th. In honor of the awareness day, NDTV published an article on street kids and substance abuse that features inhalant abuse.
The piece opens with the case of a 12 year-old runaway who regularly sniffs glue to “keep hunger at bay.” The article then mentions that “two in every 10 street children in Bangalore, are victims of substance abuse” and that the younger ones start with tobacco and then move to inhalants before transitioning to alcohol.

Narconon Recognizes Inhalant Abuse
From a PR Web News Release:
Narconon International recently released a new brochure detailing their drug prevention efforts across the globe. You can find a copy of that here.
Interestingly, the press release provides an example of a project in Honduras where they “provided special training to the staff of a shelter and school for homeless children, many of whom were addicted to inhalants.”
The president of Narconon headquarters in California remarked, "Like street children the world over, these kids sniff glue which damages their brains, stunts their growth, and makes learning new things a real challenge for them."
