In the 70s and 80s it suddenly seems like a rage: children are dying running away from home. Teenagers are at odds with their parents about drugs, boyfriends, long hair and religion, among other things. They can contact alternative aid organizations, such as the Youth Advice Center (JAC). The interests of the minor come first. Not always enough from parents who are told by the JAC that their kind is housed at a secret address. As a JAC employee, Peter Rombouts sometimes offered shelter to young people and was arrested by the police for 'withdrawal from parental authority'. Ringo lived on the streets from the age of 15 and received help from the JAC.
