Why do people assume that a questions concerning children's rights are from a spoiled brat or a bad parent.

Question

You know who you are, as you have answered a previous question. You should check before you assume.

Answer 1

I do not think you are right....moving on...

Answer 2

I do agree they are wrong in assuming bad parenting or spoiled brat, but it has to do with the way children act and how modern treatments (no spanking, time-outs) very rarely work.

The basic fact is that while children are people and certainly deserve some rights, giving them too many early on can be a very bad thing to do. That early on in life, they know what they deserve but not how to handle it. They deserve to be respected, but if they don't get that respect from say another child they may resort more to hitting or biting. And other examples are like that, but I'm trying to keep this as short as possible.

Keeping rights from them (in the form of spanking or grounding) when they screw up those rights shows them the proper way to handle those rights when they are full-grown adults. While it is becoming less and less true, most adults don't hit or bite or attack in any other way but verbally when they are disrespected as adults, and that is because the right was taken away from them repeatedly as children until they learned to exercise it properly.

But when someone comes in asking about rights for the child (while their intention is usually a good one), most times the asker fails to know why it was taken away in the first place. And if you give a child a right without teaching them the proper way to use it, that is when you get the chaos the world is headed toward right now. For example, showing pornography is freedom of speech, but it should never have to be fought over, that should be a basic one that while they should be allowed they shouldn't want to. But those who show it grew up allowing to push the envelope farther than others, so when they grew up they learned they can push the envelope then too. It is these kind of things that show why children's rights should always be supervised and taken away on many occasions until the child learns how to properly exercise those rights.

Answer 3

We can only read what you choose to write. If you come off as a spoiled brat or a bad parent, people tend to pick up on that. If you have a problem with it, stop asking the questions and go pursue your rights if they are being wronged, rather than asking for opinions you don't really want to hear in the first place.

Answer 4

People over the age of thirty have forgotten what it was like to be a child. They are what you call conservative (for lack of a better word) Their parents treated them like dogs, they don't want change so they treat people like dogs. To challenge this ushers in a response like spoiled brat or bad parent. What it is an inferiority complex of the unintelligent adult population that seeks to control everything forever. I say kill all baby boomers now and let the young people control things. Children of the Corn anyone?

Answer 5

I don't think you are a spoiled brat or a bad parent. I don't know what question you are referring to but children do have rights. The right to be free from abuse for instance.

Answer 6

People who are violent become angry when their right to be violent is questioned. Probably because their parents were violent toward them. Tragic!

By extension, they support dropping bombs on smaller nations that don't obey the Decider. And become angry with those who protest it.

It's a long road toward humanity awakening. The violent and the greedy perpetuate their pain on others. The big question is: How do we get them to wake up?

Answer 7

No one wants to think that they are a bad parent, or they were a spoiled child, so its easy for them to point the finger at people, and start assinging blame else where.

Answer 8

Without even knowing the situation, I will say it's because they have no experience in the matter and just answering for the 2 points rather than sharing experience or advice.

Answer 9

hmm who else would think of children right?
A loving parents concerns their child at school that he might be mistreated?
a child treated badly at home?

Answer 11
