The Protection of the Child.

Introduction
Family law is breaking the children by allowing the constant fighting to go on between parents, not protecting the children, and encouraging divorce.
Family law has lost sight of its foundations not because it is not following the law, but because it is no longer protecting the security of family, children 's rights, or the sanctity of marriage.
The court system is not protecting the children 's rights or the security of the family.
The court system is employing Guardian ad Liteum 's who are not interested in doing their job because they are underpaid and they do not have enough of them to support the need for family law.
Qualifications to be a Guardian ad Liteum(WI Stat 767.407,Minn. Stat 260.155)
Requirements to do the job of a GAL ( WI Stat 767.407,Minn. Stat 260.155,) B. The security of the family.
Children are not being protected in the decision process of the family court, instead of focusing on the “best interests of the child “they are focusing on the law and the issues surrounding the law. (Ross, 1997)
They are not emphasizing on the families involved, to look for a better solution to protect our children from harms way. (http://www.dearzachary.com) Restoring the sanctity of marriage. A. Divorce should be a difficult process to dissuade couples from proceeding down that path without working through all their options first. B. Continued counseling should be a mandatory requirement in all divorce cases to help prevent issues from arising in the future.

    Impact on internal and external stakeholders When it comes to the impact of this negligent event, it is needless to say that the child, Courtnie Williamson, suffered the worse consequences of all, she will be affected physically, emotionally, and intellectually for the rest of her life; with therapy and willpower she might be able to recover to a certain extent, but there is no certainty on the success of any treatment. This negligent act limited the future of this child and the way that she might be productive and contribute to society; just as important are the enormous consequences for the parents. As much as the courts insist that the parent-child relationship does not have the same dependency as the child-parent bond, there is going…

    An article by Cathy Meyer entitled, ‘Dispelling the Myth of Gender Bias in the Family Court System’ is a brief examination and interpretation of how the Family Court System is being gender bias towards mothers, and believes that it is the father who is less incorporated in the child’s life. The Family Court System has been known for being prejudice when regarding mothers and children. Meyer’s commentary response to the Family Court System was her agreeing and providing verification along with statistics on why she agrees with their method. However, Meyer as a divorce coach only sees a partial part of this argument and does not view this in a divorced father’s perspective.…

    Enhancing the Quality of Parental Legal Representation Act of 2013 is a newly proposed policy that is currently being reviewed in the House committee on Ways and Means. This policy is designed to aid in resolving the issue of children being in foster care for longer periods than necessary by providing the parents involved in the child welfare system with proper quality legal representation. As this issue and policy are reviewed it is necessary to analyze the nature of the cause of the problem, what the policy intends to accomplish, the extent that the policy will address the need, the possible unintended effects of the policy, and potential recommendations that could be made with regard to the proposed policy.…

    In this scenario the recent policy implemented by Anytown’s department of job and family services to remove the child from the home and placed into child state custody due to child endangerment in my opinion is one that should be enforced in every state “although violent crime rates declined in recent years for most age groups, victim data revel that young people face a much greater victimization risk than older persons.

    Throughout the United States’ history, the Supreme Court has decided many cases. Their job is to decide whether or not laws, or punishments given by lower courts, abide by the rules written in the United States Constitution. Their decisions are based upon precedents set by other court cases, or their opinions of what the Constitution means, if there is no precedent. On the topic of the rights of minors, the Supreme Court has justly protected these rights as shown in the cases of In Re Gault, Tinker v. Des Moines, and New Jersey v. T.L.O.…

    Youth are often confronted with socio-economical and political challenges including poverty, ethic and minority status and are often cited as at risk for committing long-term community problems like rise in crime due to substance abuse, school drop-out and several forms of academic failures, delinquencies, criminal offenses and unemployment (e.g. Grisso, Vincent & Seagrave, 2005; Champion & Mays, 1991; Fellmeth, 2002). According to Grisso and his colleagues (2005), the argument that in order to help young offenders that were placed under rehabilitation centers reconnect to community and avoid recidivism is to provide them education and employment opportunities upon release. It is in this area where mentoring programs to achieve this goal are gaining popularity, the authors said (p.20).…

    Children’s rights and interests are often forgotten and the very rationale for the Convention on the Rights of the Child was that children require special protection: while children possess human rights just as any other human being does, they require additional measures to guarantee enjoyment of those rights. As the preamble to the Convention states, “the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection”. This statement has been endorsed by almost every nation in the world – the Convention remains the most widely ratified human rights treaty.…
