Who is bringing kids up now,The parents or The government?

Question

Are parents having too many rights taken away

Answer 1

parents with the government rules

Answer 2

Tough decision.

Alot of people may think that being able ti smack children or use the cane in schools- a right taken away by the government- has changed the way children have been bought up. However, if your a good parent who disiplines your child from the start teaching them the true rights and wrongs in life then the fact that the cane isnt there is no bother.

Children now because of T.V Film and peers no their rights by law and just laugh it of what their parents say. So then this is a reason for the government to bring back the cane and smacking.

Though it may be cruel it does have more of a permanent effect.

So the answer to your question is...unless a child is bought up in an envrioment where there arent hooded people on the streets full of alchol tabacoo and drugs then kids are fine being bought up by parents and the government has nothing to do with it. But really the answer has to be the government. Because if the gov. trained Police properley then we wouldnt have these hooded people on our streets.

Answer 3

The government is having no choice but to make some attempt at bringing up the kids - because so many parents are doing such an awful job. Many parents' answer idea of being a parent is letting their kids sit in front of the TV or playing Xbox all day long, eating nothing but rubbish being mouthy little urchins. Meanwhile the parents sit at home smoking 20 a day, claiming off the state. Having said this (about benefits), the government is to blame for this; people are better off claiming benefits than working. This MUST change.

Answer 4

I'm raising my kids. They are happy, intelligent, well behaved and respectful. They eat healthily, get plenty of exercise and lots and lots of my attention. I teach them what's right and wrong and they are disciplined when they are 'naughty'.

What rights have the government taken away? No, you're not allowed to beat or injure your child and you're not allowed to smack so hard that you leave a lasting mark - nobody should be doing these things to a child anyway.

There are a lot of parents who don't have a clue about how to raise their kids, we've all seen examples of this, and their kids are left to run wild. Parents are ultimately responsible for raising their children properly - so they grow into decent people! Those parents who sit back and do nothing while their kids play truant from school or commit crimes and display antisocial behaviour, should be held accountable. I appreciate that it's not always the case, but a huge proportion of the time, this sort of situation arises from negligent parenting. These parents should be punished by the law.

Most parents are doing their best and it's not easy when there are so many outside influences, whether it's the media or peer pressure. But at the end of the day, the parents need to take their responsibilities seriously and make their kids their number one priority.

Answer 5

The government decided some time ago, that despite the money they were giving to certain groups to improve child care, that many of the parents involved lacked the skills or intelligence or interest to care properly for their children.

Unprepared to accept that their one size fits all solution was inadequate and could never be funded properly. They continued with a dogmatic ideological position that all are capable if given the chance, instead of all should be given the chance but not pampered if proved incapable.
This has led to a rise in 'state feral children'. These are children where the parents expect the state to do everything for them and to tell them precisely what to do and when. The parents give up when their children become difficult as a result of lack of structure. They expect the state to think for them and tell them what to do.
In a crisis situation this can help for a short while but leads to total dependency, and when 'special measures' stop and the experts move on the situation deteriorates rapidly.

At the other end are the parents who are taking responsibility, working hard and trying to instill good values into their children. Contrary to popular myth these are not wealthy parents, but are often living in the same streets and on the same estates as the above. Sadly their own children suffer as their parents are over taxed to fund this grotesque attempt at social engineering.

The result is a massive breakdown of social cohesion as parents who do care are dismayed that their own children lack the benefits of their efforts whilst the most disruptive seem to be rewarded with endless state help.

Labour cannot come to terms with the fact that their will always be poor people despite deliberately importing a new underclass to prop up their mates in the city.

Answer 6

Difficult
The government is always telling us parents, teachers etc that we can't do this/can't do that. The children know "their rights". People are affraid of discipline (and I DON'T mean smacking!) as so many are quick to judge that the parent/teacher has indeed done something they shouldn't have. The government has taken away many parental rights, but when real children are in real danger, the government let the children down by NOT acting quickly enough and in some cases passing the child back to the parents who abuse them.

Answer 7

Government is the law of the land but other people without kids try too put there words in.
And they think it easy , well it not its a 24-7-52 weeks a year.
We have to learn to be parents from government or we don't keep our kids, and the care home fill up more problems for the country.
SO let Parents do there job the best they can, and maybe day the government might help us. other facts nowhere for the kids to play, overcrowded homes /cr*p school unless you have money

Answer 8

It's always worked in much the same way: anything that invlvoes paying for something usually has to be founded from the parents pockets. But platitudes and big statements about how children and schools should function come flowing from the MPs mouths. As long as it's not costing them and they can put the emphasis on the parent they've got plenty to say about it. Mention underfunding on school equipment and teachers being paid peanuts and they either go quiet or start on about how much has already been spent and the 'talking to parents' aspect of the job which is 'ongoing' and vital.

Answer 9

Well, the way things go these days, I would say the government. It takes away lots of rights from parents and teachers. You are not allowed to discipline your child anymore and teachers have no powers either to discipline unruly pupils. I was having a similar conversation with a friend of mine the other day and I said that if my child (I haven't got any) was not eating what's put in front of him on the dinner table I would send him/her to bed on an empty stomach and serve him the same in the morning for breakfast. If the child is really hungry he/she WILL eat it even if it's not of McDonald's quality. I was told that this is so old-fashioned and the social services would butt in if I did that. Well, if the social services came to investigate this incidence I would kick them out and tell'em never to go near my property ever again. But then of course, I couldn't do it because I would get done in for some other offence relating to mistreatment of the social workers. These do-gooders do nothing but damage. I think some of the old-fashioned parenting and discipline at schools was so much more effective and I dare not to think what sort of adults these kids will become (and what sort of parents!). So I said to my friend that I would not want to be a parent in the UK right now because I wouldn't feel confident that I could raise my child the way I see it most appropriate.

Answer 10

It should be the government for a lot of parents today just leave there kids to get on with it ,and the sooner the government start taking the parents to court for what there children do wrong we just might see a down turn in crime .

Answer 11

Yes i think too many rights of parents have been taken away. However, to say that the govt are bring up children is taking things a step to far i think.
