Children have almost no rights in almost every country, including here in the US whilst we aren't used a slave to cheap labor anymore we still face the fact that we on paper have the right to all US law. However in practice parents break said laws with the societal construct of parents border line owning their children. I hope we can change this.
I agree with you. It’s sick to see people so consumed with their ideology that the very idea of children being humans with rights is lost in adults pushing their own personal agendas.
Alright, let's just ignore that societies that grant children more autonomy raise way less violent adults. (If you're actually interested, look into the Semai, by the way. There's plenty of studies and literature if you have research skills, though if you came to this video and assumed it was useful you presumably don't.) I'm sure that's not important or anything. The process of being a child is the process of practicing being an adult person. If your entire trial run for being a person is devoid of any autonomy, it stands to reason that you won't know how to carry yourself as a grown person. Instead you end up with people who just accept that authority comes from fear and powerlessness instead of consent, who don't have the words to describe their wounds because child abuse is so hideously normalized in this country! The idea that children's rights are fundamentally aligned with parent's choices (not necessarily rights, because if children's rights and parent's choices are at odds, then obviously the parents have overstepped their rights) is so obviously, demonstrably insane. Parents hitting their children violates their rights. Parents lying to their children about the fundamental nature of reality violates their rights. Parents indoctrinating their children into cults violates their rights. Never trust somebody who says they're doing the thinking for you, because you're being sold something. The current infeasibility for me to move countries notwithstanding, I am never going to choose to raise children in a country that hasn't ratified the UN's child's rights convention. I would care about them far too much to subject them to such a savage society.
@@Dgersham If you refuse to provide for a child's needs without the government guaranteeing that you have borderline *property* rights over them, you're the one thinking of children as assets, not me.
childrens rights do not outweigh parental rights, they’re equal right , because we are all equally human beings with human rights. What happens in a situation where an adult advocating for their parental rights against a child defending for their human rights? Does childrens rights outweigh parental rights in that situation?
All children have the right to be loved and protected by their parents. Using them for chemical and surgical experimentation is clearly unethical and abusive.
You know, I would argue there’s no such thing as a “natural right,” as rights are inherently a moral construct, and morality is something that we, as conscious beings, impose upon the universe. This isn’t to say that rights aren’t real or shouldn’t be taken seriously, just that we shouldn’t think of them as coming from nature when nature does not in fact grant any rights to anything.
I think that the video really skipped the part that the child should have the right for their safety. A child has the right not to be abused physically or sexually. As someone who works with at risk children, there are parents that I have seen that should have no right to ever contact their child again.
It is in the best interest of children to receive counsel from the people who are most concerned about these children’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, their parents. This may include other family members depending on many factors, but parents first. In any event, sexual political activists surrounding a youth while demanding that a lifestyle MUST be his or her sole identity while demonizing the child’s parents, family, friends, and spiritual shepherd if said child does not affirm said agenda benefits no one at all, especially the child…in my opinion.
@@rolfyoutube586 obviously, if the child feels like they cannot be open with their parents, then it isn’t in their best interest at all. A child should be open to their parents, and if not, that’s only a problem with the parents.
What an odd and misinformed video. *The Convention on the Rights of the Child does not mention "mother and father" anywhere. Rather, it describes the importance of "parents, legal guardians, or other individuals legally responsible for him or her." In many instances it is biological parents but adoptive parents, grandparents, cousins, etc. can also serve in the role of parents when needed and can do it effectively. *Many children's rights DO require purchasing items so the second "rule" proposed by this video for determining if something is a right is complete nonsense. - how would a child be fed or have shelter without purchasing something? And how is a child expected to feed themselves? *The video starts with a straw man by claiming that people are using children's rights to force gender reassignment. Children have a right to health and to have access to high quality health care which, in rare circumstances, may mean gender affirming care and helping children and families understand and respond to very real experiences of gender. *The Convention on the Rights of the Child points out that the primary interests of the parent is "the best interests of the child." The child's needs, including being raised in a nurturing and supportive environment, are more important that a parent's commitment to a specific political ideology.

"You're in a conversation and someone says, “We have to respect the rights of children. No one, not even their parents, should be allowed to interfere with their sexual autonomy. We have to let them decide who they really are.” What would you say?" -No. Children are children and it's the parent's Right and responsibility to make adult decisions in the best interest of their kids until the kids are fully grown and mature enough to take agency over their own lives.
2:52 Doesn’t that kind of cheapen the concept of a right? After all, if a right is, by definition, something that doesn’t need to be provided by anyone and that people can’t have differing quantities of, then that would imply that there’s no obligation to honor a person’s rights, because the very possibility that a right could be denied you means that it is, by definition, not a right. 3:25 Except that it’s impossible to sustain life without things such as food or shelter, which _do_ need to be provided. 3:28 But not everyone gets the same quantity of life.

Sad people use to learn this in church now less and less go to church so what you get is a society ruled by the flesh which bring severe consequences to the children born to unsaved parents. Its an old saying but it seems like its coming true "So goes the family goes the nation"

@@Dgersham No. But children need to be treated with respect and the ability to have their own opinions without being mistreated

Exactly
And sinful which is the root of the problem
When you say “chemical and surgical experimentation,” are you referring to stuff like vaccines and gender-affirming care?
@@redgrange3485 What do you mean by “sinful?”
@@spongeintheshoe Chemically experimenting on a child is against god, and immoral.
You know, I would argue there’s no such thing as a “natural right,” as rights are inherently a moral construct, and morality is something that we, as conscious beings, impose upon the universe.
This isn’t to say that rights aren’t real or shouldn’t be taken seriously, just that we shouldn’t think of them as coming from nature when nature does not in fact grant any rights to anything.
This is definitely incorrect and disgusting toward children.
I think that the video really skipped the part that the child should have the right for their safety. A child has the right not to be abused physically or sexually. As someone who works with at risk children, there are parents that I have seen that should have no right to ever contact their child again.
That fails the third rule, given that not everyone enjoys an equal amount of safety.
Children don’t owe their parents to come out to them or to tell them they are lgbt. They deserve to remain anonymous if that is their choice.
