Living in motels, hotels;
Living in RVs, inadequate trailer parks, or camping grounds due to lack of adequate alternative accommodations;
Living in emergency shelters or transitional housing programs;
Abandoned in hospitals;
Living in a public or private place not designed for humans to live;
Living in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, bus or train stations, etc.;
Living in any of these situations and fleeing an abusive situation, even if the parent would provide support and a place to live;
Migratory children living in the aforementioned circumstances;
