The whole problem arises due to the improper attention by the parents. There are mainly 2 reasons for this problem to take place;
1. sexual thirst 2. Social stigma to take the responsibility 3. Financial problem
The factor No.3 in most of the cases is very much less as no parents irrespective of their financial condition will always try to feed their offsprings at any cost, doing whatever job it may be. As far as the reasons 1 and 2 are concerned they both are interrelated. Sometimes, the newborn is thrown into a dustbin with a fear of social stigma.Most of the cases fall into this category.
Another reason is father or mother getting into a remarriage after divorce or in the event of death of another. This makes children being subjected to torture and force them leave their homes to lead a life full of freedom. Most of these children can be found near garbage centers where they will be selling the collectibles of the day. They earn and eat. The Government Department tries in most of the cases to give them a good life with the support of NGOs. This is a great Job. They are doing it. But, still there is some need to do it with the active support of NGOs and especially with the support of the Public.

  When it comes to factor number two as has been mentioned the number of cases see a sharp spike. That act of dumping the child in the dustbin and the other one of torture where the child is unable to bear the same any further and hence sees running away as the only solution. Many lives have been wasted this way as the whole life these poor children end up suffering for no fault of their’s and the protection which they are supposed in the formative years is also missing which also affects their psyche.
  
  They are badly hurt and shaken and are unable to express what they are going through and there is no one to hear them too that confounds the situation which they are in. I only hope things in our country will improve with more accountability by the families as that is where the children come from. If stringent punishments are meted out to those troubling such children then chances of thing improving is possible to a large extent.
