Abstract
Description
A few abusive occurrences in the Third World escape the lenses of the media,
portending danger to our collective existence. One such social ill that defied the
radar of news coverage is the growing transient consummation and abortion of
conjugal relationship implicating male gender and instantiating abuses affecting the
children from such relationships. Regrettably, the ‘hit and run parenthood’ posture
attendant of this practice often populate the crime cells cross-culturally and raises the
probability of social dislocation laden with colossal cost to societies. Consequently,
this chapter attempts to descriptively investigate the depth of this sexual pervasion
and the predicaments of children raised under such milieu. A passionate appeal is
thus made to galvanize dissuasive participation in such practices and to generate
more media attention in order to alleviate the excruciating socio-economic condition
and discourage crime among the affected children.
