Pope Francis who is currently in the Philippines was moved to hug these
two children after one of them, 12 year old Glyzelle Palomar, a
rehabilitated homeless girl, asked him in tears why God could allow
children to become prostitutes.
"Many children get involved in drugs and prostitution. Why does God
allow these things to happen to us? The children are not guilty of
anything.” Palomar said during her speech at a Catholic mass
Pope Francis who couldn't find an immediate answer for her question, got
up and gave a hug. He later replied her and the congregation saying
“She is the only one who has put forward a question for which there is
no answer and she was not even able to express it in words but rather in
tears. I invite each one of you to ask yourselves, 'Have I learned how
to weep, how to cry when I see a hungry child, a child on the street who
uses drugs, a homeless child, an abandoned child, an abused child, a
child that society uses as a slave?” He said
