In India and in other countries of the world, there have been occurrences of circumstances and situations that compel the children to experience difficulties and problems. One of the most common areas to get the children indulged in difficult circumstances are the severe conditions of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and financial problems; they borrow loans and when they are unable to pay the loans they force their children into difficult circumstances for money. The main purpose of this research paper is to look into the areas that inflict difficult circumstances for the children; when children are engaged in manual work, labors, then they do encounter difficulties, when children drop out of school and discontinue their studies then they do get indulged into difficult situations such as violence, aggression and hostility. There have been number of children in India who reside on the streets, they either do not have a home or have been evicted by their family members due to some reason, these children either have never been to school or have dropped out early; they are deprived of education, health care facilities and skill development opportunities. Child pornography, child prostitution and trafficking of children have been the areas that have lead to exploitation of the children. Families belonging to socio-economically backward sections of the society, underprivileged groups, deprived sections and poverty stricken families normally would like their children to get engaged in jobs at an early age to assist their parents in meeting all the requirements, therefore, they get engaged in different jobs such as domestic helpers, helpers in restaurants and tea stalls, cleaners etc. in these kinds of jobs, they are sometimes mistreated and face extreme intricacies. Therefore, there have been various reasons that impose difficult circumstances for the children, but laws, rules and policies are required to be adequately framed and implemented so that all the children are able to acquire care and protection.
