Introduction

The poor economic situation in Nigeria under which the young people grow most of the times over stress them and eventually push them to the street.  Most poor families at a point cannot cope with the poverty level which they find themselves and as a result unable to take care of their children.  These less privileged young ones end up in the streets in an attempt to find solace and greener pastures.  Some single mothers willingly abandon their children due to hardship in our society.
