ABSTRACT
The study is on “The Plight of Children of Un-identified Parents or Abandoned Children in our Society”. Children of un-identified parents refer to those human beings who are below the age of eighteen (18) years whose parents cannot be traced. Moreover, their parents have shelved their parental responsibility to unknown people. This act is always deliberate for different reasons. These abandoned children were found in the Old Testament era and are commonly located in many places in our society, with particular reference to South-East Geo-political Zone: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo Sates. The respondents and scholars are of the opinion that these children face a number of challenges beyond their control. These challenges deserve the intervention of the church under the auspices of Christian Association of Nigeria (C.A.N), South-East Zone. This is to complement the efforts of the Government and non-Governmental organizations in proffering solutions to these challenges. Hence, the abandoned children will have new lease of life, always full of hope and prospects for better living. It will reduce the anti-social behaviours usually exhibited by some of these children of un-identified parents.
