Children's Rights

“Children”, do they have rights? If you ask this question to a large group of people, most of them will answer, “YES”. The truth is, they have no rights.

That sounds bad, and it is bad, however it is the truth.

They do not choose their parents.
They cannot choose who they want to live with if their parents separate, unless of course their parents really fight over them, but then only when they get a certain age (14 in Georgia) can they say who they want to live with.
If they have grandparents when their parents separate, they may never see them again.
When the custodial parent gets new mate, the child just has to deal with it, no matter what the situation.

They cannot vote; therefore they have no say in choosing the best people to protect their rights.
They cannot sign a contract, unless they are 14 and live in Georgia, and then they are required to sign a contract that says they want to be adopted by a step-parent, and give up their rights to their dad. They aren't even allowed to speak with their dad to find out what the heck has taken place.
They cannot join the armed forces, but their parents can be shipped off to a foreign country, and in so many cases they lose the parent forever.

They cannot smoke, but they have to live with it, if someone smokes in the house with them.
They cannot drink alcohol, but they have to endure the suffering of abuse when there is alcohol in and around them.
They cannot have a driver's license; therefore they cannot drive a vehicle, but they can be made to ride in a vehicle that is driven by a drunk driver.
They cannot hold a job, and their caregiver is responsible for their upkeep, but if the caregivers only worry about themselves, they just have to do without. AND, in so many cases the caregiver is collecting child support, but that money is not used for the child.
They are born with two parents, but if one decides to hate the other one, then the poor child is made to hate them too, even if they don't want to. We know of cases where the child cannot bring presents home from Dad or Grandma's house. They are not even allowed to mention their daddy's name, or tell what they did when they went to VISIT .
I guess I will end with this one. Most of the time when a child is born, they are taught that Daddy is brave, honest, smart, trustworthy, protective and very loving. They start growing up and they believe that Daddy is EVERYTHING. BUT, then something goes terribly wrong and Daddy goes out the door. It really doesn't matter who is at fault at this point. If the child lives with Mommie, then Daddy is no longer brave, honest, smart, trustworthy, protective and very loving. He now becomes mean, lies, is stupid, can't trust anything out of his mouth, he is no longer protective, cause now, he is trying to turn you against me and he doesn't love you anymore, if he did, he would still be with us.

When they are born, they have no say as to whom their parents are. As their little lives begin to unfold, they love, and become aware of those taking care of them. They will smile, make the sweetest little sounds and begin to fit into this family they were sent to join.

In way too many cases, innocent babies are subjected to fear, abuse and unfit situations. As these precious babies begin to love those around them, they endure pain beyond the limits of understanding of most adults. Regardless of the situation these babies live in, they love with all their hearts. Their caretakers may very well be the ones inflicting the pain, but these babies will love them no matter what.

Children have no rights. They just have to live with the rights that Mommie has and Daddy doesn't, and the courts really do not care.

There is no money to be made in making children happy. If you fix their life so they are happy and everyone gets along, then no one will haul the other one back into court, thus no one makes any money.

So, let's make the children live in a world of hate, revenge and uncertainty. Let's make them feel as if there is no hope of things ever being right, ever again. That way when they are grown they will have been taught how to do this to their children and the cycle will continue. Who benefits from this? Not Daddy, Not Mommie, certainly not the Children, oh yes, it is the people that have control.

It is the Lawmakers, the Judges, the Attorneys, DHR, Children's Services, The Welfare Departments, and anybody else that can fit them selves into the decision making of children. These people do not live with the child, but yet they claim, they make sure they are fed, clothed, sent to school, are clean, have a roof over their heads and are warm. However, they do not see that they have a warm meal or that their clothes are clean and dry. They do not hold them when they are sick, or make sure they take their medicine on time. They do not tuck them in at night, listen to their prayers or hug them tight and they do not tell them they love them . BUT, they have the right to take their Daddy away from them because he is out of work and cannot pay his support. Instead, they take Daddy away, give mom help (not the kids mind you, but mom) and pat them selves on the back for doing a great job for the kids.

In my world, I see this as the biggest form of child abuse there is. These well meaning people are using children to make a living.

When Fathers and their Children are forced to endure this kind of painful abuse, they never got over it, NEVER!

We are raising some very angry children, and they are acting out. Please stop this abuse of our children, let them have both parents. Money should NEVER be a reason a child suffers alone at night under the cover crying.
