Abstract

Neglected and street children are those whose parents, for various reasons, fail to fulfill their obligations, leaving the children’s physical and spiritual needs unmet. These children, aged 5-18, may be neglected due to factors such as poverty, illness of a parent or guardian, death of one or both parents, family discord, or lack of a caregiver, resulting in unmet basic physical, spiritual, and social needs. Abandoned children and street children often do not receive proper care and love from their parents or close family, leading to neglect. Street children, in particular, choose to live on the streets despite the potential for a better life if they sought it. Child protection encompasses all efforts to ensure and safeguard children’s rights, enabling them to live, grow, develop, and participate optimally in accordance with human dignity and values, while also being protected from violence and discrimination. This protection is a crucial aspect of law enforcement, which is complex not only due to the intricacies of the legal system but also because of its interplay with social, economic, political, and cultural systems. Constitutional rights are entitlements guaranteed to every citizen by the country’s constitution, forming a part of human rights. These rights are protected and ensured by the state constitution, emphasizing the state’s role in upholding and safeguarding these fundamental rights.
