Childhood is a tender and delicate stage in the life span of a human being. At this stage people require a great deal of care, love and nurture in order to have a robust set of values and morals. The required care, love and nurture are generally imparted to us by our families. But there are many children not fortunate enough like others and not having a family doesn't make them any less of a human. They too have a right to have a comfortable shelter just like us. Many of us because of our egocentric, egotistical and selfish nature tend to forsake our own parents who took care and nurtured us. Many of us end up abandoning our parents at old age homes. Now if we consider both the above cases we could infer that they both lack a mutual feeling and that is deep affection, warmth, attachment and love. Orphans always deficient of parental or elderly love and abandoned parents always deficient of the love obtained from children. Very old people, due to their reduced mobility and debilitating disabilities, need other people to do things for them. Therefore, it is necessary to safeguard the elderly people who are absolutely neglected, ill-treated and vulnerable.
