...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

It's unclear from the caption whether they're living at the dump, or just hanging out there for some reason.
We need a word that means "fear of having to live at the dump".
Or a vocabulary of specialized words:
"fear of having to live at the dump with your children"
"fear of having to go back to living at the dump, after more than a year of not having to live there"
"fear of having to go back to living at the dump, after less than a month of not having to live there"
"fear of seeing in a public place your cousin, begging, who as far as you know is still living at the dump"
"fear of the economic/moral/ethical temptations that are a natural by-product of having to live at the dump with your children"
"the experience of simultaneous glue-and-gasoline-fume intoxication in children under 12".
