Bruce Davidson, 1959, From the Brooklyn Gang Series

This is from a series of photos of youths living in Brooklyn during the 50's. If this is the 1950s then what period do the moral conservatives (Family First) have in mind when they refer to traditional families?

So what happens to the street kids living in our cities in the new moral world of traditional families, no sex before marriage and no drugs?
