Chapter 17
What is a
Human’s Life worth?
Parents often
make it clear to their children how much they love them, yet often neglect
the child’s basic needs. Forty years ago the United Nations General
Assembly adopted the ‘Declaration of Children’s rights’. This declaration
seemed forgotten as soon as it was signed. Criminals often show evidence
of childhood abuse, injured integrity or mental neglect. Perverse parents
and relatives still practice incest and children are used for sexual
objects.
What the
Declaration didn’t include was a detailed guideline; an educational
chapter of what the basic needs of a child are. Since no child asks to be
born it is the sole responsibility of parents to provide and respect the
needs of the child.
My parents
believed they were doing the right thing and the world around them
respected the parents rights, and didn’t interfere with their childrearing
practices.
