The Importance Of Parental Rights

The phrase “termination of parental rights” can be the most frightening words a parent can hear. Fears of losing your child to “the system” can push a parent to work on his or her situation for the child.( FindLaw, Terminating parental rights, 2017) I agree with this policy reason being is that children shouldn’t be in any danger especially while in custody of their parents. I can’t understand how there are people that can’t get their act together for the safety of their children. How is it possible for a parent to not see the harm that their causing their children. In my opinion if I was going through a situation like that just the fear of losing my baby would drive me crazy and I would get my act together. I believe this policy will deter crime to an extent because no parent would want the system to take away their children.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss one of the tasks of family development and the life cycle theories. The task I chose was assuming mutual responsibility for child care and nurturing.

     In the United States today more than one-half of all marriages end in divorce. The purpose of this paper is to examine the reason why women have typically received custody of the children far more often than the fathers. In order to better understand child custody one must first examine how fathers have often times been left out of the picture, and conversely why mothers have had such hard times raising children on their own. This paper will first examine the perspective of a father who has lost custody of his children.

There are actions taken within the courts and there is a sense of understanding that all decisions made regarding couples separating are to be done with the child as the focus- something which satisfies CROC. Unfortunately, as seen from above, the actual nature of protection of children in such situations is questionable ground and instead provides a more adequate than an exemplary form of

The topic of reproductive rights surrounding women in Texas has been a hot buttoned issue since the closing of many reproductive centers across the state. Recently damaging abortion restrictions were passed and therefor encroach on women’s reproductive rights even more by decreasing access to abortion care. Texas’ 84th Legislature, both passed HB 3994 as a law and had it Governor Abbott make it effective with his signature on July 8, or this year. This law complicates access to abortion services for mistreated and neglected minors and for those who do not possess specific identification cards in Texas.

These are now considered the right of every child and are all more achievable if you have a positive relationship with both the child and the families’ concerned so that trust can be built up to facilitate positive influences that can be used to guide them into choosing the correct paths and lead them to healthy and prosperous lives and to achieve their full potential.

The right to have children is understood in very different ways and people’s ethics and values are put to the test each and everyday when they find out they not only must take care of themselves but the lives of another human being. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted this statement regarding the right to bear children “men and women of full age, without any limitations to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and found a family”[1]. This concept has been viewed in multiple ways and according to ethical theorists; they agree that no rights are absolute. However, it is said that for women at least, there is a fundamental privilege to have children. The right to

Love can be an amazing thing and it is often said that nothing compares to the bond between a mother and her child, yet before a study called “The nature of love” which is discussed in the book “Forty studies that changed psychology: Explorations into the history psychological research,” our society had a very different understand about what caused this bond (Hock, 2013). In the book the author Roger Hock explores many different influential studies but in the section called “Discovering Love,” he takes a closer look into this study and discusses its importance (Hock, 2013). The influence of this study can be found in many different types of literature such as contemporary articles like “Building your own family,” which was published in Scientific American Mind (2014). This article implicitly provides further understand of the “The nature of love” study results and shows active efforts to continue building on the original theoretical ideas in order to change our views about human development (Jacobson, 2014). Even in modern text books like Psychology: Eighth Edition, can we find traces of the importance of this study. Thus this study not only provided a tremendous contribution to the field of Psychology but also changed society by altering its views on child rearing all together.

2. “Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection” (United Nations, 2012).

The second account of a changing stance toward children’s rights was evolution alongside women’s rights. Before this time, women and children were seen as unimportant under the law, whereas a father was given almost total control over all matters regarding his wife and children. If a father was violent or neglectful, society simply turned their shoulder to it. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, laws pertaining to the family system began to change. A new law recognized the equal rights of fathers and mothers with the mother’s rights reigning over the fathers in regards to the children. Also, the legal system began viewing children as important to the future of society, therefore “appropriate objects of the court’s

Understandably, the welfare of children is a sensitive topic to many and a subject that it much more complicated than one person’s opinion. It seems like everyone has something to say about it and for good reason. However, with all the input, not all ideas will be the same. There are extremes and then there places in the ‘middle’ where opinions can fall. One of those opinions seems to be the most widely believed: parents have no right to give up their parental rights when they were the ones who decided to have them in the first place, except in extreme circumstances.

The principles for this section is to ensure that children have the benefit of two parents through shared parenting, to encourage agreement between both parents about future parenting and ensure that the child’s right

In the first article “Parental Consent Laws are Necessary” by Michael New, New explains that the benefit of putting parental

Modern families are becoming more of a norm in today’s society as more and more children are being raised in non-traditional families. The ever-changing arrangement of he family unit in the Unites Stated has altered the lives of many children. With the continued increase of children being born to unmarried parents, the adoption of children by homosexual couples and divorce rates rising, we are seeing a rise in third party individuals seeking visitation and custody rights. These third parties include foster parents, step parents, siblings, same sex partners and other relatives who at one point or another may have played a significant part in the child’s life.

Parenting process includes protecting, nourishing and guiding the child. It involves a series of interaction between the parent and the child through the life span.[55] In particular, the law should
