USA laws on the protection of children

American law on the protection of children's rights

  Denis scrapping of unfortunately, just because of misunderstanding America culture on scraping, causing him to be separated from their parents, Child Welfare Bureau temporarily care for. But the conversion from a legal point of view, Denis is happy, because America laws and mechanism in the protection of his. When Denis because of injuries must according to X light when, female nurse took off his clothes, see three scars on his back shocking, female nurses did not ignore Denis's scar, reported to the police, but the first time to call. There are second days the police and Child Welfare Bureau staff came to the hospital, declared Denis temporarily by the Bureau of child welfare care and hearing.

In the subsequent development of the movie we saw an emergency meeting in Child Welfare Bureau, all for Denis back three scars of the shock and anger, firmly believe that as long as the US in such things will not happen again. On the surface, here we are child welfare bureau public officials, are actually behind the strong support of the legal system and the state machine.

BecauseUSA emphasized strict protection of children's lives and health of body and mind, the children have attached great importance to social benefits, child abuse is to commit the most heinous crimes. Therefore, the "child abuse prevention and provides some basic guidelines for treating method", the state must according to the law to abuse and neglect of children's interpretation of the state's relevant laws.

Michigan state imposed after Michigan child protection law "". The revised law gives two definitions of harm to children, a child abuse, neglect one for children. "Child abuse" refers to the parents, legal guardians or any responsible for children's health and welfare of the people (including children's health and welfare workers, school teachers) on children caused actual harm and threat, including the intent to cause physical and mental harm, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and abuse. "Ignore children" include: 1) does not provide enough food to children (children's food), clothing, housing and medical conditions; 2) the children placed in may cause harm to the health and welfare of their environment, or to find the condition, with the ability to stop and not to stop.

So America launched to encourage suspicious child abuse and neglect to report sports, the court on the report to respond. So strange nurses to alarm, visible protection of children has formed the universal criterion USA society, strong sense of citizenship has become one of the most favourable to the protection of children.       

  A Chinese family is retarded daughter because reading in a special school, a school teacher in order to prevent the children of family violence or abuse behavior, often prompted to ask the child. A friend's daughter said to her mother at home often give her shower, teachers take a shower when alarmed, asked whether the presence of the father. The child said "in". Then the teacher took out a doll, asked her what father often touch. The boy said dad often tickled her. So, this is believed to be the children for sexual abuse, social workers soon reached the goalkeeper only daughter they took, and put her adoptive parents to USA to another. Friends to dissipate one's fortune lawsuit, nor can the children to come back. The husband and wife had to "false" divorce, the child returned to her mother.

In this case if we abandon the cultural difference, can see the citizen consciousness again, to social workers on behalf of the USA national laws to get in by every opening coverage and carry out with drive and sweep speed will save the injured children, to abuse children a good social environment.

Michigan state law definition of child abuse: parents, legal guardians or any responsible for children's health and welfare of the people (including children's health and welfare workers, school teachers) on children caused actual harm and threat, including the intent to cause physical and mental harm, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and abuse.

Thus USA law on the protection of children's rights is not only in the physical damage including higher levels of spiritual damage. The provisions of the law are more rich and complete, legal protection of adults are, children also can have, every child has a more comprehensive protection than adults.

As professor Robin Wilson said: "America government often stand in the position of parents, concerned about the interests of the child, the government often the parents itself, in the family. For some people, the government may be in violation of family privacy, but the government believes that this is done in order to protect the child."

"Ignore children" include: 1) does not provide enough food to children (children's food), clothing, housing and medical conditions; 2) the children placed in may cause harm to the health and welfare of their environment, or to find the condition, with the ability to stop and not to stop.

Ignore this clause children will provide guardianship parents more nuanced, even to the economic status of parents also have certain requirements, the second custody parents must give their children a good life data. To some extent greater limits parents custody. However, American by legal way to ensure that the parents can't neglect their children's welfare, limiting the parents custody of discretion. The law is so careful, is to give children a relatively good living conditions. If parents fail to provide a good living environment for the children's request, to child welfare authorities on behalf of the children's rights defenders, will take away from the chaos of the living environment for children. It is because of the protection of national compulsory force, social workers and efficient work, forcing the provisions would ignore or even completely not to abide by its people begin to pay attention to the law, pay the corresponding obligations custody of their own. In a word if not force countries support each system can achieve is not optimistic.

But the light has the force of state security, and can not solve the problem of child protection. After all, will bring the child is just the first step in a long march. Then the child welfare bureau will the children will temporarily on Child Welfare Bureau to take care of. Then the Child Welfare Bureau in order to find out the abuse and neglect behavior whether there is sufficient evidence to the court, the judge will first hold a hearing, if there is enough evidence will be submitted to the court verdict, use the law to choose for their children's future life. If the court adjudicates the parents of the child custody deprivation, Child Welfare Bureau will put the children to take care of it and start looking for a suitable family to foster this child.

In American, national punishment for not fulfilling the obligation of guardianship parents is very serious. Relative to the protection of children is more responsible and conscientious.

Professor David Olentlikl stressed, American law to government intervention and the parents discipline their children the right to balance. He said: "on the one hand, we let the parents decide how to raise the children, but not for the government to decide how children education, to teach them what to believe and what religion. On the other hand, we also have to be careful, do not make parents abuse on children's rights and responsibilities. Because the child age still small, is still not mature, if the parents abuse their rights, it is left to the government to protect the child."

Perfect law enacted in American source government, social welfare institutions USA social spontaneous and strong civil consciousness is the basic guarantee of the rights of the child. When a child rights have been violated, a common American citizen, social welfare institutions, judicial organs will be fast and efficient work, for the rights of the child running around shouting. The protection of children has become a social and USA every America citizens consciously abide by the rules of conduct.
