children caught up in the crime of being born of a prostitute

I just watched this video about a group of children in India who befrended a foreign photographer, and in the process they learned how to document their lives on film (with photos) and she, the photographer, learned of the hardships these children endure living in the red light disctrict in the poor parts of the city. Many of their mothers were professional sex partners a.k.a prostitutes and sold themselves, even inside their own homes while their kids played on the roof tops. Those kids knew exactly what was going on. That sad part is that even after the photographer going through such great lengths and documenting their lives on film while trying to help them make it to better lives, was not able to help them all. It is so difficult for a child living in that area to be accepted into boarding schools with their parents doing "illegal" work. (It seems they're just doing all they've ever been taught that they can do to survive.) And to even to receive an education and to move on toward a better life, escaping the monotonous cycle of poverty in their families--- this would be almost impossible without outside help.
Even more sadly, after some of the children were accepted to schools, some of their familes held them back, forbiding them to go to the school.
These kids know what is in store for them at home.
This makes me wonder, what can be done to end this vicious and even unfair cycle of poverty for the children born in that red light district?

This film only documented the lives of about seven children (plus more). But there are countless others who we know not by name, nor by face. The children hidden in the deep seemingly lost for a lifetime of hurt and calluses and being left. Forgotten. However I beg to differ...

I will not forget them.
