Mainly talks about rare instances that happen and a father ends up paying child support. Goes into different examples of these kinds of cases from other states. Also, mentions how Arizona pursue child support cases and treats them differently from custody arrangements.

This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.

Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

Should single people to allowed to adopt? This website fights for the equality of unmarried people and it discusses whether or not unmarried people should deserve more equal opportunity of being able to adopt a child. it explains first that there are so many children waiting to be adopted. Then the website also talks about how unmarried people actually want to adopt. 

Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.

Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.

Child labor is not only inhumane but it is cruel and dangerous. Child labor is something that needs to be stopped and corrected

Child labor is not only inhumane but it is cruel and dangerous. Child labor is something that needs to be stopped and corrected

In this article it speaks upon the issue of children who are forced to be working due to the high cost of education. This can be harmful to a child's health physically and mentally.

It sadden me to see that some children have it worse then others. Myself as a college student and working gets overwhelming, I couldn't imagine how children younger feel.

I believe child labor is a form of abuse. If a child is not old enough to have the mental capacity to be working, it is not fair. It is also dangerous to allow children to do many kinds of work.

Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.

It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Social workers has a big role that plays when it comes to child welfare systems. They are the ones that help protect children rights. This article has a variety of explanations about child welfare.

This page is about child abuse. According to the page the amount of children getting abused has gone up over the years.

There is no way we could go door to door to help the children out but I think teachers play an important role in protecting children who might have been exposed to domestic child abuse.

Uhhh this sickens me, A baby! A simple child! How can you abuse someone who you are supposed to love the most?It sickens me most because there are so many different alternatives to use if you arent able to parent yet, Take them instead of putting your kid in harms way.

In one of my child rights advocacy visits to secondary schools, I met the principal of a school who clearly prohibited me from talking to his students about the rights they have as children. We had an interesting discussion in which he gave some unsubstantial grounds against the enactment of the Child's Rights Act.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

This article details the travesty for child labor still being used. The focus is on Stephen Addo, who was once in child labor himself, and what he is doing to stop the continuation. The effort aims to rescue and rehabilitate children forced to work, and also bring and end to child labor.

This website looks at gay rights to adopt. Because adoption is such a large topic, I think this is unique since it looks at gay and lesbian rights. The site outlines the issue and discusses each side.

Not all states give homosexual couples the same adoption rights as heterosexual couples. There is no statistical data or research to show why gay parents would be any different than straight parents.

Part 2: Search engine used: http://www.metacrawler.com/ URL: http://civilliberty.about.com/od/gendersexuality/ig/Lesbian-and-Gay-Rights-101/Gay-Adoption-Rights.htm Original: 1. "A child is better off with one father and one mother." Even if this claim were true (and there's no evidence that it is), it would be irrelevant. States allow adoption by individuals, and not just by married couples, precisely because they recognize that any healthy, stable family environment is a better option than the foster care system. Paraphrase: "A child is better off with one mom and one dad." There is no evidence that this statement is true, however providing evidence would not make it any more relevant. States not only allow married couples to adopt, but single parents too. This has something to do with recognizing that any environment that is healthy and stable is a more realistic option than foster care.

Having another child just to save the one child you have, in some eyes is wrong, but to those how live threw the path of possible death of thier little one. It's the right decision.

This article discusses the rights pedophiles should have to give in to their sexual urges without worrying about committing a crime. A Japanese company called Trottla is creating child sex dolls to give pedophiles the ability to act on their fetishes without facing public discrimination.

This website discusses the rights of an individual to a free education. It also describes the law in which a person with learning disabilities in entitled to.

Disabled children of the U.S have a right to public education without a cost to their family. Every school has to try to meet the needs of every child with disabilities by providing special education. This is a law that says that every child who has a disability has to be taught in a "least restrictive environment". Meaning disabled kids go to the school in their district and also go to school with children who have no disabilities. This law also states that a disabled child should be put into a class that they would have been put into if they were not disabled if possible.

The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities. CSA is also not uniformly defined, so statistics may vary. Statistics below represent some of the research done on child sexual abuse.

Child labor is very wrong and should be stopped. Children are being forced to work in terrible conditions and are being deprived of their childhood.

More programs need to be put in place to stop child abuse and neglect. Abused children have more physical and mental problems than their peers. They are likely to become abusers themselves. We need to find a way to help those who have been abused and prevent the cycle from being repeated.

I do agree with your article that yes children are a product of their environment. If a child is being abused mentally and physically than they too end up growing up thinking that okay and normal and eventually abusing their own kids in the future. Children should be protected and loved and grow up in an environment where they feel that and know that, they shouldn't live in fear.

This site provides information on recent bills that were passed in efforts to lower child labor. It provides a few situations in which these bills will benefit children. It also provides information from credible sources about this topic.

This article makes an interesting point that i have never even thought about. The difference between child labor and farm chores is a very thin line. This article explains that many children have lost their lives in incidents working on a farm.
