Khadija Hetavkar Content Writer (Legal), Rightantra Alifiya ManasawalaContributing Author, Rightantra Isha PalasContributing Author, Rightantra Innocence and childhood usually go hand in hand, but it is not always so. Exploiting children for money using methods such as begging, cheap labour, or trafficking severely endangers their physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and moral development.

It is heart-wrenching, and we have all given in to their requests by either providing food or money. After all, no child deserves to suffer in poverty.

Custody battles can become disastrous at times and the innocent child gets caught in the legal and psychological crossfire between both parents. The entire situation is often scary, confusing, and frustrating for children as they may not understand the reasons behind their parents taking this step. In order to prevent hurting the child further while making this life-changing decision, it is necessary to understand their rights so that all the decisions will be made keeping their best interests in mind.
