‘See it, Say it!’ Can help end child neglect happening around us

Rights of children are constitutionally protected by the laws of our country, and internationally recognized by the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child and other related conventions. This is to say, parents, despite playing an important role in the child upbringing, do not have absolute rights on the life, development, and wellbeing of a child. Neglect being a form of child abuse and maltreatment goes a long way in the integral formation of the child as he/she grows up.
