Dr. Ariel Rosita King On the Human Rights for US Children

[thomaspaine2000]

A beautiful video. Unfortunately just the opposite of what is in the best interest of children. The UN CRC will undo most Federal and State law concerning children, parents, and families. The UN CRC will undermine the rights of parents, who are the primary, most effective, and the ONLY rightful authority over the raising of our children. Except of course in cases of neglect or abuse, which are already addressed by existing law. The UN CRC will spell the end of US freedom.

@thomaspaine2000 We disagree. The good parts of the current state and federal laws will be strengthened by the UN CRC, by making a cohesive and uniform framework for all state and federal courts. There is nothing in the UN CRC that undermines the good things in these laws.

@AFIAFC Sounds nice, but look a little closer.

Who says the US needs our laws "strengthened"? And if so, then why not let us do it? Why involve the UN? It has never been necessary to allow the UN into our legislatures nor our courts, and it sure is not the time to start. Many of the nations who have ratified the UNCRC are terrible places for children. Tell me, what's wrong with the present situation in the US, that we need the "help" of the UN?

[AFIAFC]

The US actually drafted the UN Convention for the Rights of the Child. There are no federal laws setting forth a cohesive framework on childrens rights. The 50 states implement a patchwork quilt of their own laws that do not work together very well and provide no relief in federal court for violations of childrens's rights. The better question is why would we help draft a treaty that we expect every other country to adhere to -- but be the only country in the world that fails to ratify it?

@AFIAFC Is there any way you could present my case to the UN CRC? I certainly think that the fat that I have not been allowed even to see or have contact with my daughter for the past three years is a human rights violation.

Children's rights denied in Europe.

Families torn apart as the Hague convention is denied because of money!

Private company charge 100.000 euro per year for '24/7 care' of children who should be in their own country with their mother instead and the Dutch judges back them up.

Look at my channel and rate video's. Rights should be there but are denied!

Very informative and great pictures of Geneva and kids working on projects for this cause. Keep up the good work!
