help with "childrens rights"?
961335
If children don't have rights such as the ones you listed, then parents can do with them what they please.  That means that a parent can abuse thier child or neglect thier child without fear of punishment.  This is how life used to be for children.  That is one of the reasons that children had a high mortality rate.\n\nOne minor correction, in the 8th line, I think portrayed against should be protected from.

Seek out a church and speak witht eh priest or preacher.\n\nAsk that the church help you and babies get to another town or county.\n\nIF these other law inforcements aren't helping you, you should contact Dateline NBC. 20/20 ABC  any big news show  and have the whole damned city and county  responsible for your not getting the help rightly due you and children.

i'm a teacher. you have no rights. \n\nseriously, consult your student handbook. you will see EXACTLY what kind of rights you have. that info depends entirely on where you are and what kind of school.

Talk to the school.  Every child is entitled to an education under the law, so if it means that school has to do some special accomodations for your child, so be it.  As a parent you have the right to insist on that for your child.  There may, however, be a resource the school can direct you to (like another more appropriate school)instead of modifying the child's current school enviroment.  good luck!

First of all, and unfortunately or fortunately for you, because your child is 12 they can decide where they want to live. At least in the state of Washington they can. It may be different where you live. Unless there are circumstances where there is abuse or neglect, though, you may have a hard time depending on where you are and what the laws are.\nThe first thing I would do is to contact your local Department of Social & Health Services and speak with someone there about what your rights are and can be done or not done for you based on your income. It's quite possible that if your income is lower they could provide you with financial help. However, you should be aware that if you're in need of financial help and your ex-husband is not, it's going to make your situation harder as he can financially support her and you can't. \nCall those people though, it's a start and if nothing else they can lead you in the right direction.\nGood Luck!

I agree with whomever said to petition the court.  You can contact your local department of social services to see where and how to get the paperwork. My sister's ex mother in law did much the same thing during my sister's divorce and custody hearing (her ex husband was into drugs and endangering all their welfare by bringing the dealers home). Her ex mother in law got one day a month (supervised by my sister b/c of problems there as well).  This is in NY. Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer and see what your states laws are.  I am a total advocate of children having relationships with ALL their family (with the exception of when they are in danger by this of course) So I wish you the best of luck.  I believe children are harmed when they are brought into the middle of adult squabbles. Again best of luck to you.

Get a new lawyer. You are going to have a long hard process ahead of you. You have to find something to pospone the termination of rights. It could be anything. The process of cps court proceedings is called substantive due process. This means that not everything is cut and dry and anything that you can bring forward that will show that you can become a competent parent or that they made a mistake in the case should hold off the parental rights trail. Also make sure you have not or do not sign away your rights to an appeal.

No there isn't. Call Social Services and tell them about it and give them any info you can. You will remain anonymous. Do it for that child, don't be scared

As parents we have the right to buy kids everything they want.  The right to not punish them for mis-behaving. The right to come and go as they please.  The right to not get into their business when they come and go.\nIn other words, don't try to raise your kids the right way, or you will be neck deep in trouble.

First thing you need to do is to go get you're self some help.  Even if you don't think you need help go get some.  Becuse you're telling everyone now that you're not lieing and no one beleves you.  You could try getting a lawyer but what happens if all they do is take the kids away from there father?  The court has the right to move you're kids anywhere it wants.  Have to ask you're self is that fair to you're kids?  Or you can lose wich means you're never be able to see you're kids again.  Not to much can come from getting a lawyer.\n\nBut if you get you're self some help the cort is more likely to beleve you and the person who is giveing you the help.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

Well first I will comend you for taking care  of your grandchildren. It's not your place but you are good for doing it. Not to be harsh but it really sounds like your daughter is craving the wrong kind of attention from men. She needs a hard dose of reality that men like that are no good and often are the ones who are crazy. As for you and the children in your care i would seriously consider moving. However you can pretty much find anyone on the internet. It's a terrible situation you daughter has put you in. I dont believe the police will do anything unless he makes threats or actually harms you. The thing that sucks is the same basic rights protecting you are the same rights he has even though he is an abuser. IN ANY CASE if are afraid for your life or your loved ones I would still call the police and see what they can do. Because state laws vary i may not be accuate on what the police can or can not do. I'll say a prayer for you and I hope everything works out ok for yoy.

File a petition with the court to relinquish your parental rights.\nThat dosen't sound like a good idea though.

I know exactly what you're talking about.  My mother and I got custody of my nephew after my sister screwed up.  He was taken from her, we had a choice: foster home or with us.  I think its completely ridiculous to not put your child with family, that's her support system.  You can talk with the social worker.  Most social service departments (Department of Children and Families, Child Protective Services, Department of Children Society, etc.)  their goal is reunification with the natural birth mother.  We wanted to help my sister get him back until she started abusing drugs and alcohol again and married an abusive and violent piece of crap.  Now we are struggling to keep him far from that, and they are pushing for him to go back, even after her 3 DUI's and domestic violence charges in the last 3 years.  Every state is different, but hopefully someone at CPS can help you and you can start on the road to recovery and 'prove' yourself and follow the case plan.  Unless they terminate your parental rights, you always have the right to petition the court for replacement.  I wish you the best of luck!!!
