STREETISM: PARENTAL ABANDONMENT AND JUVENILE CRIMINALITY

ABSTRACT

This abstract delves into the complex issues of physical, emotional, and financial parental abandonment and its profound connection with the pressing issue of juvenile criminality. By drawing insights from real-life situations and literary representations, this exploration aims to shed light on the complex interplay of factors that shape the lives of vulnerable youth when they must confront the consequences of abandonment. Physical abandonment leaves children without essential needs like food, shelter, and safety. Emotional abandonment amplifies their struggle, leading to dysfunctional coping mechanisms. Financial abandonment further deepens their vulnerability, pushing them towards survival instincts and potentially into the world of juvenile criminality. This abstract uses the text Faceless and real-life examples to show how abandonment and criminality are connected. It suggests the need for help and policies to break this cycle and give vulnerable youth a chance to succeed. Ultimately this abstract calls for a society that supports and nurtures every child's potential, breaking free from the influence of parental abandonment. It envisions a future where opportunities for growth, resilience, and positive transformation replace juvenile criminality.
