The child labors have no shelter, or food and no education. They run the risk of contracting various ailments and skin diseases. They are vulnerable to exploitation by almost anyone-the employer, the employer the parents. The cops and even the common man they become easy targets of drug pushers they are even sexually abused. Certain principles of policy are therefore, to be followed by the state so that children get opportunities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity and the childhood and youth are protected against exploitation and moral and material abandonment.
