A child’s life is currently in danger and requires immediate medical treatments; however, the child may not be treated due to religious beliefs of the mother. The mother is a religious scientist, who does not accept any medical treatments.…

Putting Learning Into Practice: The Indian Child Welfare Act Itumeleng Shadreck Dr. Wayne Moore Fall 2013 Historical Content Prior to European conquest, Indian populations in North America were mainly communal and self-sustaining societies with organized political structures, moral codes, and religious beliefs adapted to the particular environment they inhabited. There was also tradition involving child rearing practices and child protection. Discovery and settlement by Europeans radically changed life for local Indians. As Europeans strived to gain the natural resources and land occupied by the Native Americans, Indian policy primarily consisted of treaties.…

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms can be seen as all-encompassing, and yet, it does not dictate the rules to follow regarding a major component of each person’s life: employment. Or does it? A vast portion of our lives in Canada is spent working, and regardless of the work environment, we interact with other people who may or may not come from the same backgrounds and ideologies as we do. With no specific terminology in the Charter that includes employment law, we must look between the lines and find the connections that lay within. The Charter provides the roadmap for Canadian principles and social values; it lays out the rights and freedoms we have as a people, and promotes the protection of those human rights through its laws.…
The Australian administrative body has realized the fact that there are certain parental responsibilities which are supposed to be performed by the parents, caregivers to the children as the necessities of life, and include – financial support, food, clothing, accommodation, healthcare and access to education. The children who are included under this provision are usually up to the age of 16 years; children of older age are also included under certain special circumstances like disabilities. The duties also include the protection of the children from any kind of harm which may affect them severely as a result of abuse and neglect. In Australia, the failure by a parent to provide the basic needs that a child is required, or to protect from any harm which is a consequence of abuse or neglect, amounts to an offence under the general law of land. The child protection law is strict enough to expose the abusive and neglecting parents or care givers to criminal proceedings as the consequences of the criminal conviction.…
The child savers were an organization that tried to prevent juveniles from being delinquent and tried to change the justice system they were involved in. The child savers focused on minority and poor children; they wanted to rehabilitate children instead of sentencing them to jail time. They also wanted to separate young kids in prison from actual criminal, adult offenders. Colonization was a major factor in the way juveniles developed. The concept of Colonization is as America became more industrial, children were forced from rural to urban communities.…
Although many believe that human rights will continue, there are a select few that hope and believe that violations will cease to exist by the year 2100. These people can be found all over the world, in even the most dangerous places. Without light, there can never be darkness; without despair, there can never be hope—as long as human rights violations exist, there will always be groups and individuals who believe that the best will come. Support for the belief that human rights violations will end by 2100 can be shown vaguely in document A. Though this document is only a list of humans rights (UDHR) it can still be classified as falling under support for side B. The UDHR states, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”,…
Feinberg in his prominent work titled “A Child’s Right to an Open Future?” claims that parents should “sent [child] out into the adult world with as many open opportunities as possible, thus maximizing the chances for self-fulfillment” (Feinberg, 1980, p. 134-135). This right impose limits on parents’ influence on children, including limitation of their influence in regard to choice of culture and religion. Thus, Feinberg believes that parents violate children’s right to an open future if they bring them up in their (i.e. parents’) culture, because this will inevitably cause the child to be limited in his attitudes, thoughts and actions when he becomes adult. Therefore, there is a contradiction between parents’ moral right to bring their children in a certain cultural tradition and children’s right to an open future.…
Children’s rights. Now that the phrase is in your head, what do you see? Do you see a 4 year old who has been abused by her parents and is now in foster care? Do you see a 6 year old who is locked in the house alone while his parents are out at a dinner party? Do you see a 12 year old who has been sexual abused by her uncle and no one believes her?…
