THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD.

Children's rights are the perceived human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to the young,[1] including their right to association with both biological parents, human identity as well as the basic needs for food, universal state-paid education, health care and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child.[2] Interpretations of children's rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the enforcement of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse, though what constitutes "abuse" is a matter of debate. Other definitions include the rights to care and nurturing.[3]

MY GENERAL IDEAS ON CHILDREN.

Children are like flowers. They should be given the proper care and the correct guidance towards life. Over here many people use children in a very bad way. They are used for sexual purposes, labor, and begging. Although we have many people talking about it, we do not see anyone taking quick action. These must be stopped and let the child have its freedom to live. The beauty of life is missed by these poor kids.

I think the first place to start this is at home.

The children should be treated with special care. They should be educated, clothed and given proper food. The most important thing which they should have is the LOVE of the parents, which most of the children do not have.

They should be sent to school because mixing up in school prepares them for the future. They learn to deal with different problems and they learn to face them. All kids MUST go to school. The same way they should be put into religious institutions to be given the formation of their character. These two are important places the child should visit.

My way of thinking is IF the country needs good citizens it should help with the upbringing of these children. They should not let them take to the roads. They should put a stop to child abuse. The children of today need love and caring.
In most of the homes today the child does not have its mother to guide them. In this rat race world all are working to earn money, but they do not realize that the children are being neglected.

Every parent and teacher should have the right to correct the child. Correction means not making the child lose its self respect and confidence. If we can do something about this. Please join hands. I know it can be done.
