The issue of migration is one of the issues that occupy the agenda of humanity, especially in the last century. Due to economic and administrative instability, oppression of minorities and internal conflicts, people want to immigrate from the countries they live in. In this process, individuals act alone or as a family. In particular, families who migrate by illegal methods face various dangers and risks in this process. Children who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, who cannot defend themselves and who have difficulty in meeting their needs, are among those who may be affected by these risks.Children made up 36 million of the 281 million international migrants and half of the 34 million forcibly displaced refugees and asylum seekers in 20201 . In addition, unaccompanied minors accounted for 37 percent of children arriving in European countries in the first half of 20202 . At all stages of the migration process, migrant children are highly vulnerable to violence, abuse, exploitation and human trafficking. The risk factors that exist before migration, the factors that cause migration, and the conditions they encounter during migration and at the destination increase their vulnerability. Children who are refugees, internally displaced or stateless are therefore at greater risk than adults of abuse, neglect, violence, exploitation, trafficking or forced recruitment into armed groups. They may experience or witness devastating events or be separated from their families3 In this study, it will be evaluated what findings have been found on the neglect and abuse of immigrant children, especially in the publications published in international refereed journals in recent years. As a result, it has been found that migrant children have problems with chronic poverty, lack of social integration and adaptation difficulties, and the structural characteristics of the settled neighborhood increase their tendency to aggression and violence, and the possibility of being exposed to violence.
