Who is Stefan?
Home for this four-year-old boy and his family is a mattress in a field on the outskirts of Rome, Italy. The family came from Romania by bus, after begging on the streets for enough money to pay for their tickets (100 euros per adult and 80 euros per child). When they first arrived in Rome, they camped in a tent, but the police threw them off the site because they were trespassing on private land and did not have the correct documents. Now the family sleeps on the mattress in the open. When it rains, they hastily erect a tent and use umbrellas for shelter, hoping they will not be spotted by the police. They left Romania without identity documents or work papers and so are unable to obtain legal employment. The boy sits by the kerbside while his parents clean car wind screens at traffic lights, to earn thirty to fifty cents at a time. No one from the boy's family has ever been to school. His parents cannot read or write.
