CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- Background to the Study
In every society in the world, broken homes are gradually becoming a common phenomenon. The family unit was enjoined by God to bring up their children.
In the way they should behave, adding that they would not depart from it. It is therefore intend that a man and his wife should co-habit till. However, this has not always been the case, God also institude death which can cause separation.
Separation can also come about through divorce which is the legal separation of marriage. A marriage is said to be legal when it is contracted according to the customary or English law.
Therefore a separation occurs to such a marriage the home is regard as a broken home. Usually the family must have had children before the home becomes broken. In actual fact children of such are either left to the care of the woman or the man depending on the custom, tradition or common understanding. Such situation usually has more serious implication when such children are in the school age.
Children look up to both parents for guidance as they start the journey of life. They need the encouragement of parents in the first attempts to learn and they need the discipline of parents to deter them from breaking the rules and norms of school and society.
Indeed the whole content of the child needs the parental backing in order to develop normally and in line with the goals and values of society.
But in this age of trail marriages and single parent mothers, many children are being denied these essential foundation of life. No day passes without one hearing of divorce suits in our law courts while the children of such marriages are left as pawns in a game of chess. Where the home is broken. The tendency is that the child lacks the co-operative care of both parents. He has a lot of idle time and like an idle brain is the devils workshop, the child finds pleasure in all the forms of misdemanour and the became delinquent. Invariably these delinquent behaviours are carried to the school system and are copied by other students. They become a source of bad influence to every secondary school because of the powerful influences of peer group and these in turn go round the schools. Children from separation homes are problems to their parents, teachers and to themselves. Their basic problem is one of social adjustment. Since they have never learnt to establish good relationship with other people.
They are often describe as maladjusted children. They may be uncontrolled in class and have delinquent tendencies. Others may have excessive desire for attention, or withdrawal and must have a difficulty in establishing normal friendly relationship with others. The effect of broken home and it’s attendant result is a serious state of affairs that calls the attention of any right thinking citizen and a responsible government as well.
