The main focus of this is to analyze the existing manual computerization information system in United Nations international children emergency fund on childcare information system with a view of developing a computerized information system that will take acre of all the identifiable problems inherent in computerized childcare information system. Childcare is a kind of human act that jeopardize the physical, psychological and the futurity of a child either intentionally or unintentionally. Examples of the cares are as follows.
Not a loadoning of new born baby (child) of child not as bread winner giving a child educational right avoiding sales of a child avoid causing l caring of a child not starving a child etc.
In our society nowadays abandoning of children is not all that rampant anymore. In order hand in most families children are not still being used as a bread winners of family in the sense that they have eliminated in caring one thing or other to streets schools markets etc. In order to get money for the family while their parent are at home to enjoy the money. As a result of this theses children are now being sent to school when it is time.
In order to improve more on cares an organization called united nation international children emergency fund (UNICEF) established a system that is called childcare information system that monitors/ protect and improve such cares on children.
When cases on such cares are reported to them they investigate and report or take any care that is coordinating to their rules to count so that the appropriate or required necessity will be given to the care.
This research work centres on using a computer to record store and retrieve reported cases to the type of cases date the case is reported the name of the reporter and cared child which will be used as a reference for other similar cases. The new system will also help to avoid loss or misplacement of vital documents and help the organization to handle volume of records in less time which will not be possible with the manual system.
Children are heritage of the cord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hands of the mighty man, so are children of the youth happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them (ps127:3-5) that the African child occupies a strategic position in the family and in the society and in the nation is not an over statement and cannot be underplayed. The child is considered as the life. Wire of the family and the society at large to the extent that any couple that is not blessed with a child is looked upon with pity and sometimes sympathized with.
There is the need to know who is a child and what is child care.
In traditional and even contemporary African, various ethic groups have different concepts of who is a child while some ethic groups see one one as a child in so far as she can contribute to the development of the society some other see it in terms of one who has not yet attained the age of initiation into the age grade. Sven in contemporary Nigeria for examples Olukoshi etal (1990) posited that.
There is not one acceptable age, which is considered as a worthy definition of the upper limit of child hood. The age at which a child can become capable in law for his actions or her actions the age at which childhood begins in terms of the right to vote and be voted for and the age considered by the federal ministry of youth and culture and education as being the upper limit of childhood different. Even internationally there are divergent definitions as to who is a child. Where as the international labour organization and the united nations population division refers to a child as those below 18year of age the 1989 convention on the right of the child states that a child means every human being below the age of 18year. Even though there are divergent opinions and views as to what is the age limit of child it is the views of this author that a child is anybody between birth to completion of physiologically/ psychological and physical development. In order words anybody between ages zero of his/her birth to 18years is a child.
