'Child's Rights' Forces Mobilize

Folks, this is scary stuff! Big Brother (Governments) want to take over our rights as parents and have children tell us what to do! The devil loves to twist around the natural order that Almighty God has made, we are in dark times!

MEDIA ADVISORY, June 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Three major developments threatening parental rights have occurred in the last several days. On June 1 and 2, Georgetown University Law School hosted a two-day symposium entitled "The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC): Why It Is Time to Ratify." This well-funded conference was held to organize a new coalition effort by American internationalists to seek ratification of the UN child's rights treaty. 

In the second week of June, a major study was released by the British education ministry calling for dramatically dangerous increases in the regulation of homeschoolers in that nation. This study concludes that the UN CRC requires that the government enter every homeschooling home and privately interview each homeschooling child to determine "the child's wishes" regarding his or her education. 

On June 17, at the UN headquarters in Geneva, the UN's Human Rights Committee--which oversees all human rights treaties--announced that it was forming a committee to draft a new "protocol" for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Under this new addition to the CRC, individual children would be able to file a formal legal complaint if they believe that their rights had been violated. It would give this new international tribunal the right to determine if the child's treaty rights had been violated by any person.
