More and more I'm starting to think we need such a thing as a children's Bill of Rights. We always talk about rights of the parents but children's rights seems to get just ignored completely in today's society. I mean why does this child have to have their life potentially ruined and at the very least damaged markedly by the attitude of the parent. This kid didn't choose to be born to the psycho parent, yet it's going to have to feel the the effects of it.
In Norway we tried. We got overuled by the European Courts. A bunch of foster parents threw in the towel as a result, and hundreds of children were deprived of a stable home environment.
Big win for the rights of abusive parents though!
Yeah I remember reading that. In Queensland, Australia it for some fucking insane reason is still legal to WHIP KIDS in private schools.
I thought there is no way that's true... get your shit together Queensland.
Based on a Supreme Court ruling handed down in 1977, states have authority over the issue of corporal punishment in schools. Most states have banned it in public school settings. However, the practice is still legal (though sometimes restricted) in 17 states as of August 2023, and only three states—Iowa, New Jersey and Maryland—have banned physical discipline in private schools. The latest estimate from the National Center for Education Statistics suggests that more than 70,000 public school kids face physical punishment at least once during the school year
How fucked up is this. The supreme court ruled to leave the issue up to the states. "States rights" is how the supreme court ended Roe v. Wade too.
Ermmm. Thats the US. But agreed, it's fucked that the US still hasn't banned it nationally. Fuckety fuck fuck the supreme court.
Yeah. Thats what the Liberals do when they get in power! Vote 9 liberals!
