INTRODUCTION
Children are the priceless gift from God and are the treasure of one family.
The family and the community have the primal role in shaping the totality of these
children. However, due some circumstances some children deviate from the standard
norms and become in conflict with the promulgated laws. Mental health professionals

In the Philippines, where the plight of majority of the poor remains largely
unaddressed, many places become breeding grounds for youth offenders. While many
of these children were able to rise from the rut, proving that poverty isn’t a justifiable
excuse for committing crime and thousands of other juveniles have failed to get out of
the trap and are forced to break the law primarily to survive.
The Philippine law is very clear that the Local Government Units (LGU) shall
involves the allocation of budget for homes and counsellor as part of the program
implementation. However it is very evident that most of the LGU do not adhere to this.
With all the aforementioned cited in this study, the researchers, did not come
across readings involving with these indicators which are applied in the local setting.
Further, the researchers found the importance to pursue the study as a new
contribution to knowledge of research specifically this one that deals with the
delinquency act among Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL). Considerably, the
results of this study would determine the prevalence of youth delinquency in children’s
conflict with the law, in the area where the researchers conducted their study.

Theoretical Background of the Study
Some of the more prominent ideas that have been proposed to explain such
behaviors are found in problem behavior theory (Jessor, 1977) and Bronfenbrenner’s
theoretical orientations is the notion that individuals act upon a set of beliefs, which
are developed and influenced through interactions with the environment and
and distal factors which are linked to an individual’s behavior, such as social controls,
models, and support, with proximal factors being more directly influential on behavior.

development within the background of the system of relationships that make up his or
each having an outcome on a child’s development. (Paquette & Ryan, 2001). The
interaction between factors in the child’s maturing biology, his immediate family and
conflict in any one level will ripple all the way through other levels. To study a child’s
behavioural influences then, we must look not only at the child and her or his
immediate environment, but also at the interaction with the larger environment as well

science,” and put more clearly, “the principle asserts that behaviour evolves as a
function of the interplay between person and environment, with paying special
attention to the interaction between the two”. The social ecological model proposes
that the progression of human development occurs when mutual exchanges become
apparent between the individual and the environment, which are both mutually
