Children are a gift from God. They deserve some love, care, affection and attention from both parents and government in the society in which they are born.
Child abuse in Nigeria is on the increase as many parents cannot afford to pay tuition fees for their children. Many out of school children are exposed to health hazard and sexual molestation in their quest to earn a living.
In an effort to combat child abuse in Nigeria, the Federal Government, in 2003 introduced the Child right Law to domesticate the Convention on the rights of the child. This is a clarion call to parents and well meaning Nigerians to come together and fight this evil act.
