I have noticed that majority of children without enough resources for their families to train them and put them in the right path end up roaming the streets and constituting nuisance in the society.

This is what the Northern part of Nigeria is battling with. I read a report that said that bandits/terrorists are recruiting teenagers with as low as 500 Naira. If these kids are catered for by their parents, they wouldn't form the pool of potential recruits. I wholeheartedly support government policy to force every parent to cater for his or her child.
