CHAPTER ONE

Insurgency by street children at public places in cities or metropolis in Nigeria became definite so that one basic expectation within Uyo the capital of Akwa Ibom state is the harassment by hoodlums fondly known as Utoto or Nditouba should be envisaged. Life at times becomes unbearable for unsuspected citizens who become victims of these street children along Ibom Plaza at night between 9.00pm-12.00am, and to dig out the culprits usually defy normal techniques making the town vulnerable to the menace of street children.

The validity of the core or universal ethics

Whether these street children are guilty of what they are accused of or not, the society have programmed some abusive paradigm to measure the worth of these children. Equally I felt my work could appeal to the legislators to enact a special law for their welfare or some form special care beside what is speculated.

Vulnerability of street children

I had an opportunity of hearing about the vulnerability street children by a law enforcement officer and this give rise to my inquisition on their social history, part of reasons leading to this research work.
