Not always due to poverty though, there'll be a few parent that just don't care and haven't taught the kids to wash properly. Others find laundry an alien concept.

We see loads of people with dirty clothes, unwashed and stinky come through our centre every day. They have phones, vapes and weed. But not deodorant.

hygiene poverty, what a weird way to say "stinky"

Well, when it’s kids, who are lacking cleaning supplies due to poverty, I think it’s worth mentioning the reason rather than name calling. Part of the problem in the article as about isolation and bullying.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
