Returning to three young at-risk citizens of Camden, New Jersey, and their stories of hardship and hope, this ABC News program illustrates the conditions many children face in urban America. How have the lives of Ivan, Billy Joe, and Moochie developed since their stories were captured in Waiting on the World to Change? (item # 39467). As Diane Sawyer reports, Billy’s family underwent a dramatic shift in its standard of living; Ivan finally has a place to call home, although his dreams aren’t completely fulfilled; and one woman from New York City became a mentor to Moochie. In addition, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine sits down with Sawyer and the Camden kids to discuss the problems of the city. Original ABC broadcast title: Update on the Kids from Camden. (29 minutes)
