Have you ever read the UN's Convention on the rights to the child?

Question

Who's kids are up at midnight?

I'm not sure how the UN defines privacy.

Answer 1

But the US is the exception, Gershom, didn't you know that?!  In the US children are just products to sell!

Answer 2

I have read it.. a group of us tried to basically lay it over the child and family services act here in Canada.

What we found is that almost every single act breaks UN's Convention on the rights to (of)  the child rules.

It's like they read it and designed a system that totally breaches it on purpose and spit in their face...

Anything by the U.N is pretty much ignored by the states and Canada and the U.K...

And the U.N knows this... they receive so many complaints a day with proof of this convention being breached for profits...

What do they do?... not a damb thing...

Answer 3

Yes, I've read it and I would really like to know why the USA has not ratified it

Answer 4

The knee-jerk resistance--even personal insults--in reaction to this "radical" document boggles the mind until you stop and think that the US is the only Western democracy not to have a national health care plan either.  We don't care about the rights of sick and dying adults; why would we care about children?  (We have a very high infant mortality rate too BTW.)

Anyway, kids don't need an identity.  Their new parents will buy one for them.

Answer 5

This would make things easy to get around:

"States Parties undertake to respect the right of the child to preserve his or her identity...as recognized by law ..."

After adoption, your identity, "as recognized by law", does not include your biological family.  Unless they're talking about some other country's law, or the UN laws.  

Then again, I know nothing about this.  I could be wrong.  I'm just thinking that big business would find a way around it.  They find a way around everything, in every blood-sucking industry.

Answer 6

Article 16

1. No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy,

family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honour and reputation.

2. The child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

DEFINE his or hers privacy,... Does that mean I can NOT go into my childs room.??
