Media plus breaks the silence with a spine chilling master piece…“Home” a film on child neglect,
abandonment and parental conflict was
produced and directed by Austine Lordlaz. Cross River state is among the states
in Nigeria with the highest number of abandoned and neglected children on the
streets. The effect of this cannot be over emphasized as they (abandoned
Children) roam the streets and have constantly grown into nightmares for the
society which they believe has been hostile to them. Child Neglect is
the ongoing failure to meet a child's
basic needs and is the most common form of child abuse. A child
may be put in danger or not protected from physical or emotional harm. They may
not get the love, care and attention they need from their parents. Many children today in
Nigeria and the world at large suffer from parental neglect which mostly stem
from misunderstanding, misconception, quarrel and fight between parents and
relatives. When
these conflicts remain open, unattended to and unresolved, they take toll on
the children. Children respond with depression, anxiety, and/or behavior problems. Parents
may shout till they're red in the face, they may stew in stony silence. Whether
their unresolved conflict results in hostility or indifference to one another,
the effect is enormous on the well-being and development of the child. Child-Parent
bond is the key to child’s mental health and social adjustment. It is important for children to feel
secure about their parents' relationship with each other. It is based on the
above premise and his quest to promote child-rights that he ventured into this
campaign against child neglect abandonment and parental conflict through the film-
“HOME”
