FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT
(A CASE STUDY OF
ABSTRACT
The child abuse menace is as old as the birth of
the first child, until very recently child maltreatment has never been seen as
a social problem. It was falsely assumed that such physical punishments are
supposed to correct had behavior and ensure conformity. But the consequential
distorted personality of the child disproves the assumption. This study aims at
showing that it is only through the care of children will one gain experience
and develops interest in finding out more about the affliction of the Nigerian
child. In addition, the researcher hopes that who are able to read this will
get to know and pray that the past experiences of these silent suffers will
serve to prevent tomorrow’s children from similar fate.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
It has been the general
assumption that children with reasonable physical care would grow into normal
happy adulthood. But scientific investigations of psychologists, sociologist
and psychiatrists regarding personality development has uncovered the greater
importance of the growing up and its lasting effects on the total personality
of a person. Adult personality has its root in childhood. What we can do as
adult is largely determined by ways in which we were allowed into experience
inevitable events of childhood.
Thus the aim of this
research work is to shed more light on the issue of child abuse and neglect in
Kaduna South Local Government of Kaduna State.
A child is neglected
when he lacks continues physical and emotional contact with his mother. Children
under this category are those may be due to lose of mother or both parents or
the separation of both parents, thus child may be sent to nursery school or
orphanages with many children which makes it difficult for special individual
attention to be rendered to each child. Those children are therefore brought up
by stranger which could be changed at different times due to the shift of their
study.
Child abuse on the other
hand can be defined as the portion of harm to children that result from human
action or in action that is prescribed, proximate and preventable. The
definition recognizes that such harm is no accident but something perpetrated
on children by others, usually intestinally and that the actors inflicting this
harm do not enjoy society approval. It is also point out that abuse generally
come from the child immediate environment and that it is preventable child
neglect is a passive form of maltreatment or abuse UNICEF (1986).
1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Kaduna South Local
Government Area was created on 23rd September 1991 by the
Babangida’s regime. Hitherto it was part and parcel of Kaduna Local Government.
The Local Government Council has its headquarter located at Makera, comprising
of two districts namely: Tudun Wada and Makera, each district headed by a
district head and supported by village and wards councilors, Kaduna South
shares common boundary with Kaduna North to the North West. The two districts
share common boundary with the other districts located in the three local
government area. Kaduna South has a population of 373,576 as per 2006
census.
Education
However, in the
education, the area is having about (29) public schools in which (8) primary
schools and in Tudun Wada and (13) in Makera and five (5) secondary schools in
Tudunwada and three (3) in Makeri.
Furthermore, the area is
having private nursery/primary and secondary schools approximately one hundred
and twenty four (124) i.e. 80 in Tudun Wada and (44) in Makera district.
Adult education
programmes and constructed apart from the various vocational training centres,
run by various organizations like (YMCA). Apart from Kaduna Polytechnic as a
higher institution of learning. There is a prison school at Barnawa, Health
Institution like the
There are over fifty
(50) large and small scale industries that abound in the local government and
some include, textile, defence corporation, Nigeria Breweries, Peugeot
Automobile, KFCC, fertilizer superphosphate, pharmaceutical company, blanket
industry just to mention a few.
To boost commercial
activities in the local government area and the markets and up to R. Tourist
attractions and hotels, the council has six (6) tourist areas and about twelve
(12) hotels. Kaduna South Local Government areas well connected by road,
bridges and railway line system.

mentioned geographical, emotional, educational and administrative features
taken together given Kaduna South its unique characteristics. It was discover
that the habitants have little or no knowledge of what child abuse is.
Some with dishes roaming
the street and begging for food and aims for certain belief. They were also
denied educational pursuit and a child right to decide for themselves what they
want to become in future. Without being told, you will see for yourself how
little children hawk around from morning till evening for financial support,
this researcher strongly, belief is one of the causes of child abuse and
neglect because this kind of occupation endangers the child’s life and expose
him to hard situation.
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The researcher’s concern
to delve into the affairs of CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT in Kaduna South Local

former Kaduna local government there was not been any necessary attempt for
research work into the activities of child abuse and neglect.
However, it is widely
believed that the good image of any social or community depend largely on the
social background of its children. Therefore, the problem of child abuse in the
local government has been a total neglect in large extent. A situation brought
about probably by the undesirable element in our society mostly associated with
women folk and partly perhaps the government who have not given enough
attention to the ugly situation in the area but rather sitting on chairs in
offices. Based on this, the researcher will seriousness wishes to know the
activities to the authority concerned with the affairs of child abuse, towards
educating the people of the area and of course suggest ways on how to improve
and implements their programme towards making the entire area a conducive place
of living.
