Abstract: The ‘street children’ is a wage terminology, include the children living with street families, institutionalized children, child labour those who have regular or occasional contact with their families or relatives and then lastly, children living on the street are those who fend for themselves either because their families have abandoned them, or because they walked away finding the streets more welcoming than their homes. Many of them landed on street because of negative experiences, abuse, violence, and many other traumatic experiences. There is a number of studies that have addressed the vulnerabilities faced by these children while some of these studies further tried to correlate the factors like, abuse, sexual problems, violence with their mental health. But rarely any study might have shown why there is a different effect of all these factors on children though they are staying in the same environment. Previous research had observed that age, gender, socio-economic status, plays an important role in the development of their capacities to deal with the adversities [1].
