Document Summary
Our legal view and treatment of children is concerned with the degree of state intervention in child and family autonomy questions. Nevertheless, the question arises as to whether a children"s rights-based approach to reform is either desirable or genuinely useful as a reform strategy. Alongside recent advances in the legal status of children as persons, there have been several court decisions which limit and curtail the "rights" of children and express their subordination to adults. The constitution act of canada recognizes parents rights. Parents have considerable role to play in livelihood of children. The children aid society got involved because it didn"t want to pay attention to parents. Parents who don"t want children to get blood di usion, they take away the child. Children have rights but they voted in favour of the parents. Parents have rights over the health of their child. The protected sphere of parental decision-making- parents have a protected sphere over the rights of children.
