Dependence on Adults: Children rely on adults for basic needs such as food, shelter, and safety. If caregivers are unable to provide these, children are at risk.      Health and Nutrition: Young children, especially, are more susceptible to illnesses and malnutrition. Their immune systems are not fully developed, making them more prone to diseases.                              Education: Access to quality education is crucial for children’s development. Lack of education can limit their future opportunities and increase vulnerability to exploitation.                                              Abuse and Exploitation: Children are more likely to be victims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including child labor and trafficking, because they may not have the ability to protect themselves.      Psychosocial Development: Children are in critical stages of emotional and psychological development. Traumatic experiences, such as violence or displacement, can have long-lasting negative effects.                                          Legal Protection: Children often need special legal protections because they may not be able to advocate for themselves or understand their rights.
