Causes And Consequences Of Child Trafficking As Expressed By Married, Adults
[A CASE STUDY OF SHAKI WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, OYO STATE.]

The super-ego is the third part of the personality being essentially the carries of society’s moral standard as interpreted by the child’s parent station of the values and morals of society as though to the child by the parents (Uba 1987). The true exposure to moral standard of the society of these children who engage in child trafficking by their parents is the main focus of this research.
    According to Alder In (Uba 1989), child papering and child neglect also pose as one of those conditions that create unfavourable beginnings for the maximum growth and development of a given individual. In his view, badly treated children are usually known to graduate to become enemies of the society since the style of life is usually dominated by the urge to revenge. In Adler’s opinion, these three conditions – pampering, child neglect and rejection can lead to these young children taken child trafficking.

Behaviourists View
    James (1975) opined that child trafficking is seen to be product of early childhood experiences especially those who promote identification with the opposite sex. Behaviourist and internationists also hold the view that sexual behaviour and preferences learnt but claimed that one learns to engage in child trafficking the same way one learns to engage in other forms of antisocial behaviourist.
    Lazerson (1975) stated that, the sex drive is biologically universal and seems to depend on arousing stimuli in the environment. He emphasized that harmous play some roles in controlling sexual activity, but social and psychological factor seem to be more important. In line with the above, Beach (1976) asserted that sexual behaviour and other forms of anti-social behaviour is influenced by the whole array of desires and preferences that all of us begin to learn in childhood and may continue to remise throughout our lives. And that it is being molded by our personalities, moral standards and social relationships. In view of the above statements it is most likely that those children who engage in child trafficking learnt the behaviour at their early childhood only to get well molded and sharpened towards child trafficking at their teenager stage. As a result of bad companies been kept and high moral decadence in the society.
    In the view of Glaser (1965), he said, when people cannot meet their needs, their characteristics way of manifesting their failure might be reflected in child trafficking and so many other anti-social behaviours. That however, the prolong inability of fulfill needs might manifest in extreme cases of psychoses, neuroses, even schizophrenia. Once the needs are met, human beings have the ability to lead successful and well adjusted lines.

Ways of Solving the Problems of Child Trafficking
    The sheer scope of the problem of trafficking almost duties description. It will continue to be so as long as demand for the victims exists. The industry may blossom if poverty and the other ingredients sustaining its growth are not addressed. There is need to review our value system which places high premium on wealth, the sources not withstanding. These are attitudinal issues that thrine in the womb of time. The Nation orientation Agency and many Non-Government Organization have embarked an campaigns on those issues. The efforts need to be carried to the hamlets, the villages or grassroots, one to one and on a more sustained basis (Out, 2003).
    Out went further that, all these efforts will come to waste, governments start to provide in good quality the dividends of good governance. To this and the on-going co-operation between sources and destination countries should try to identify the problems or conditions of existence prevailing in the source countries. There must be compelling reasons to push victims, to prefer to swim in shark interested waters or bake and die in the shifting and hot sands of the Sahara to get to Europe (Out, 2003).
    The pledge of Mr. President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to wipe out the scourge published in the News Watch Magazine of March 5, 2001, is a welcome development. To wipe out trafficking will entail the provision of gainful employment, introduction of welfare programmes for the elderly, the unemployment and values re-orientation. Countries will also need to increasingly co-operate in then counter-trafficking initiatives by sharing information, providing mutual legal assistance and conducting joint investigations. Bilateral collaborations in the repatriations of victims and extradition of traffickers should be encouraged (Patrick Out, 2003).
    The Untied Nations minimum standard (UNOMCTIP, 2005) said, government of the country should prohibit some forms of trafficking in persons and punish acts of such trafficking for the knowing commission of any acts of such trafficking which include rape, kidnapping or which cause a death, the government of the country should prescribe punishment commensurate with that for grave crimes such as forcible sexual assault. (UNOMCTIP, 2005).
    UNODC (2005), promote awareness-raising (such as public awareness campaigns) of trafficking in human being especially strengthen institutional capacity. Provide assistance of agencies, institutions and governments as part of an interdisciplinary effort to design effective measures against trafficking in human beings.
    A lot of non-government organization like WORCLEF, idea Renaissance, COSUDOW, ECPAT, CATN, Human Right Law Group, La Stada, captain Daughters, coalition to Abolish Slavery, and Trafficking, TATW, SOLDWODI, COLWOD, USMI, and shepherd sister, Kvinno forum’s Trafficking project etc are also trying in their various ways to prevent trafficking in children and women and assist trafficked person to re-establish healthy and normal lines through co-ordination of direct services and prevent the “exodus” of young people towards the so called “promise Land”.
