That's very different, caution in care for others and your own well being, is a healthy thing.
I am more inclined to see it as a love of life itself and its members. Loneliness is not an option as it needs you to close out curiosity and lust for experience.
Funny thing, many expats seem to have a better relation and more frequent dialogues with there loved ones back from home than members of families all living in the same town. How is that?
You live as I've done and that was the option for me, for even when I do return "home" to my roots, I feel like a mere visitor.
I am more attracted by the journey and its destination than my point of departure. I could never "return home" as it would most probably strangle an important vein in my person.

All the helping world have been responsible in funding child-soldiers, not US only. This is a sad truth and daily obstacle in getting people on their feet to get out of their traps.
Put blame where blame should be - kids should be kids and anyone against put in the corner of shame.
An now -
US - RATIFY YOUR OWN TREATY GOD DAMMIT You signed it, now bring it home
Wrong, you can find him/her/it (it? ) anywhere - the needle in a haystack apply everywhere. Staying out of haystacks way only limits chances, that's all.
