Boy sniffing glue (Otro castigo de la miseria)

Glue-sniffing is a phenomenon that has reached epidemic proportions among the destitute population in big cities, all across Latin America.

The cheap high obtained by this practice, and the chemicals it contains, will induce brain damage in a couple of years.
