Children Protection: Primary Education and basic care!

The child can be any person under the age of 16 years ,however the definition of a child may ,with some other states regarded as any minor under 18 or 21 years old.
A child in need of primary care and education is the one fall in one or more of these problems:
♦is an orphan
♦is a habitual truant
♦has been abandoned
♦guardian or parents don't exercise proper control.
♦guardian or parents are not fit and able to give proper control.
♦is in custody of a person who has been convicted of committing upon or in connection with the child on offence.
♦cannot be controlled by guardian or parents.
♦living in circumstance calculated to cause seduction corruption and prostitution.
♦frequently involved in immoral or victious person.
♦is maintained in circumstance which are detrimental to his welfare or interests.
♦is found in posssession with reasonable excuse of any dangerous drugs to which the dangerous drugs act applies.
There are so many children out there in need of your support,love and care ,but we don't know what to do ,we should help them or refer them to the children rehabilitation centres.
Children need to be provided with food ,shelter ,clothing and primary Education . Above all children need medical care or any care necessary for the health or well-being like any other human being. It is an offence to leave an infant unattended in any circumstances which are likely to cause the infant's physical or mental distress or harmed.
Primary school teachers should be aware or ask for permission to seek doctors to examine children suspected of diseases or allowed to be given donated clothes instead of left wearing dirty clothes which carry fleas ,lice ,bugs or parasitic worms.
The children need to be taken for medical examination,if suffering from diseases or any physical defects.If a child commits a crime and is being taken care of by parents. The parents will be considered guity of that offence. The parents must then pay a fine and compensation for the crime and the damage caused respectively.
Even probation officers or police officers are given the right to remove children from any place to a place of safety if the child is in need of care or if the child has committed an offence.
The government of any state is responsible for removing any forms of backwardness caused by socio-economic inequalities. The backwardness caused by natural causes in Education are now strongly dealt with by pragmatic methods.Thus many states make provisions for establishing institutions specifically to cater for different disabilities which needs special care.
All these established institutions need to take children and enforce the maintenance of basic requirements ,on receiving children and institutions are expected to exercise the care over the children as stipulated by law.
The juvenile courts have been granted the sole right to allow a child to be adopted. Before taking the child ,the court carefully consider the circumstances of the family and the home into which the child is moving. If not satisfied then children remains in the institutions under state custody.
Thus in many countries the laws stipulated that children and handicapped people in general need special care. Teachers should help these children to realise their rights so that they aren't badly treated by anyone. Proper guidance of children the society has great asset for its own future.
