A Salvadorean boy gets high by sniffing the shoe glue on the street of San Salvador, El Salvador, 16 May 2011. Hundreds of teenagers struggle on the streets of San Salvador, sniffing glue to avoid hunger and get out of the misery. The glue is the cheapest drug available in every slum in Latin America. It is widely sold to the children because there is no government control, neither restriction. The police can not intervene because the glue is not legally considered as a drug. Many sniffers end up with permanent brain damage, their motion ability is reduced, some of them keep in unstoppable tremor till the end of the life.
