98% of Moroccan Street Children Addicted to Glue

BBC reports that 98% of Moroccan street children are addicted to sniffing glue. According to the UN, glue sniffing makes children susceptible to tuberculosis and prone to performing acts of prostitution to obtain the drug.

I don't know, that last set of claims from the UN seems shaky. I'm sure that prostitution occurs, but for a tube of glue? Also, it seems interesting that they ignore reporting on the immediate brain damaging effects of glue sniffing.
