Conflict in Parents' Constitutional Rights

Recently, a member of our Discussion Group presented this Reference:

PARENTING AS A PROTECTED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT(*See Note a bottom of page)
When you read the above document; and my reply below, please consider these points:

• Is there a "Balance" between Parents' Rights & Children's Rights?
• Are Laws Really Needed to Guide us in Raising Our Family?
• When you Defend your Family, why is it so important to know the Statutes for Your State, particular to your concerns?
• We must become an Advocate, and yes, admit to ourselves there is indeed conflict, corruption, biases, etc in our government.  And then most importantly say OK, and ask ourselves, in knowing this>> "What are We going to do about it to Protect Our Families?? 

 Here is my reply in an effort to present ALL the story of Conflict in Our Constitutional Rights

This is indeed some good reference material for supporting the principle of "Due Process" in our Family Court system. A principle not currently in place in our Family Court.

I hope those supporting the Parental Rights US Constitutional Amendment have used this as a Reference. See more on this Amendment>> http://nfpcar.org/Rights/index.htm  An Amendment which is in battle with the UN Children Rights Proposal. And, to date, the US hasn't accepted this Proposal. "The United States government played an active role in the drafting of the Convention and signed it on 16 February 1995, but has not ratified it.^[1]"  Link to more information>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child 

Of course, then there is CAPTA. For the group here is the status of the 2010 update of CAPTA>> http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.3817:  Sarcastically, I always add "New and Improved"

So many conflicts that challenge our Rights as Parents for Our Children.

"Sometimes it just takes one small voice to make a world of difference...
I challenge you to be one of those voices"

*Note: PARENTING AS A PROTECTED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT was authored by a civil rights attorney, as an argument in a case for a parent's rights. Currently it should not be using this argument at all (it is not a formal document, or is it a published article, just a part of someone's case). It is to show what a civil rights attorney wrote about parental rights, which is not one of our amendments, or BILL OF RIGHTS, as parental rights are implied in the 17th amendment.
