According to Fonta, and et.al., (2019), Policies and regulations are formulated by individual for the purpose of living
their normal life and managing the all functions as well as activities. Children are facing the issue of poverty that
affect their health and economic status. The practices relate to saving children are Care and Protection of Children
Amendment Act 2021, The protection of Children from sexual offence rules, 2020, and others are followed by
country for the purpose of save the children from poverty. These are more effective as it provides the safety and
protection to children. And yes, they meet children's priorities by creating opportunities for employment and
managing the higher performance. This also helps to develop the country's image by providing the safety and
security to their child. Population control is another way which can be used by government through implementing
