✘ Child abuse is one of the most heinous crimes as it destroys life, hope, dreams
and future of an innocent powerless child. Children are tender what they
experience during childhood remains with them throughout their life. It is the
responsibility of every individual to give a good childhood to every child
because they are the torch bearers of our country's future. Every child
deserves best.
✘ Children constitute the nation’s valuable human resources. The future well
being of the nation depends on how its children grow and develop.
Many children are forced to work and their dreams of good future are
shattered by the some selfish people and this has to be stopped. The great poet
Milton said “Child Shows the man as morning shows the day”. So it is the duty
of the society to look after every child with a view to assuring full development
of its personality.
