how often should an American child be in the country?

Meggs is right.  A US citizen is a US citizen until he or she purposely and deliberately relinquishes citizenship before a US consul, under oath, after age 18.  Your child can live her entire life outside the US, and will still be a citizen.

we have less children because we know are limits financially. we don't think it's wrong to come to America. just do it legally.

I used to live in England and am an American. The process is not hard. If your child is young there should not be many problems because of uprooting him. I was 12 and my brother 9 and it was hard, but if he is younger it shouldn't be too bad. I know people who are 'muli-cultural' and living here (US) and it's not been a problem.\nGood luck!!

Section One of Article II of the U.S. Constitution states that the President must be a natural born citizen of the United States (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), at least 35 years of age, and resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.

If you are an American it is important, because we live here and raise our children here. If we better the country we better ourselves.

A parent must be consistent. Children need the constant care and love of parents.

At least once a week. More sometimes, less others.

NO, but the child has dual citizenship.\nCan choose whether to be a U.S. citizen or stay native to the country of origin.  \nCan wait to choose until 18 I believe, but takes advantage of both until then.

I doubt it. Most countries are less tolerant of special needs kids than the United States, and even in the US there are lots of court cases attempting to define who should and who should not be allowed into an inclusion setting.

Depends on the country

Hi, I'm from Carolina, and I'm not sure if there is a law for that what you asked. I think common sense plays more a part than anything. I think it is safe when a child reaches 10-12 years old. Of course there are 10-12 year olds who are dependable, and some that are not, I think it depends on your kids. I know of a 12 year old who was in daycare because his mom couldn't trust him enough to stay at home and not burn down the house, or let strangers in while she worked. Generally around that age, they should be able to stay home by themselves until a first shift working parent(s) come home for the evening. Most of the time the child is only there for 2-3 hours alone before an adult get s there, which is not bad. As a child with both parents working, I remember staying there for an hour and a half until my mother got off work. We walked home from school, me,my brother and my little sister. My bro was the oldest at  10, I was 8 and lil' sis was 5 or 6. We were good kids and me and lil' sis listened to our bro. We would not answer the phone, go outside, cook anything, or watch t.v (until homework was done) no tv until homework was done. He would threaten to tell if we didn't listen to him, and we did since he was the oldest and in charge. I am 28 now, and I'm still alive and well. That is my point. It depends on your kids! My bro was responsible at 10 years old, so my folks knew they could trust him to watch over his baby sisters!

I think you should come (stay in) America. There are so many great things you can do. America has educated and produced some of the worlds best thinkers. We have great extra curricular activities and hard-working proffesers and scholars who work all year around to make sure that the next genneration has what it needs to make a difference.

I would say a few times a week.  You should email on the days you don't talk and if he's gone 3-4 months, I would expect 1-2 visits.  \n\nIf you are under 18, though, I don't know about a visit.

American's are not jailer's, Dude! FFS! When you marry a citizen YOU are a CITIZEN of USA. This country lives, and dies on FREEDOM! You ever read any history books on that? Freedom is practically the first word uttered by American babies! Of course you can travel around the world! SHE"S AN AMERICAN, we pretty much do what we want, LOL. Have a nice trip, just don't let her forget to come back if she loves USA!
