Children's Rights and the CPA

[Soul]

Debate your standpoints on the Child Protection Agency, which legal rights are fair or unfair for children under 18 to have, and which they should or shouldn't have.

What does this CPA do? It gives right to kids under 18 for what?

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

Yeah I don't really know what rights I have already. I know if a kids beat they should have the right to like, get away, but other then that I don't know what the CPA does. Enlighten me please.:)

I did some research on the CPA/CPS (Child Protective Service)...and this what I got from Wikipedia

Child Protective Services (CPS) is the name of a governmental agency in many states in the United States that responds to child abuse and neglect. Some states use other names, often attempting to reflect more family-centered (as opposed to child-centered) practices, such as "Department of Children & Family Services" (DCFS). CPS is also known by the name of "Department of Social Services" (DSS) or simply "Social Services."[

umm, yeah, i'm not sure what rights i already have. so idk. so the CPA is about children who are neglected or abused?! well, theres something i just learned.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

Ok, so does that mean if the parents are like crack heads, the SS take the kids away. Or of the Parents cant make ANY money then they'll take the kids away. Ok, I can understand and agree with that.

[majinsharingan]

They should have every right an adult has.

[¤ Shrike † Itachi ¤]

Children Services you mean?

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

Uhh, um, ok, I'm done thinking, yea, children shuold have rights, equal ones...just as adults have it.:confused: :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

[KaitouSai100]

I don't think it's all that bad. The CPA is what ended child working way back when. The CPA is what's saved hundreds of lives since then.

[majinsharingan]

Yeah, Children should have every right Adult's have.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

Agreed, protect the youngster i say.

[kstylegunz]

adults will have full responsibilities

[majinsharingan]

then so should kids.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

hmmm, ok, so kids should be treated like adults? confused again...great...

[majinsharingan]

no.
they should have the same rights as adults.

[kstylegunz]

Children shouldn't vote though, not all the rights as adults. Still learning and going through education, until they are 18.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

^correct, so children should have right adults have, not be treated like adults, and sholdn't vote! Ok, i understand now.:)

[majinsharingan]

18 is a Number.
It means nothing.
Nothing at all.
When you turn 18 you don't float up into the air glow and god hands you a certificate saying, "Congratulations, your now an adult!"
No it doesn't work like that...It'd be cool though.
When you turn 18 it's the same as turning 17 and 16 and 15.
And I agree Children shouldn't vote, but they should lower the voting age.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

I doubt they'll do that. I guess it realy is a number now, cause now they're trialing kids, 16-15 year olds for crimes they did. I guess kids really do have the rights of adults.

[kstylegunz]

yeah
