You don't see the whole story though. you don't hear about how his family tried to help him and then they caught him stealing from them, or coming home drunk as **** and being violent. Often there's a reason why they are not welcome by their family any more.

I still have compassion for all people, but it's important to remember that often times these people have other more serious issues, including substance abuse, and violence, and serious mental health issues that they refuse to get help for, and other serious reasons why these people are no longer welcome in their family's homes.

We don't live in victorian times, you can't force someone to go into treatment, or have them put in a mental health facility against their will. If they won't get help, often times they end up on the street. There is help available to them though.
