[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 212597, member: 1024"] It's not just the homeschooling that's at stake here. The more these so-called Children's rights laws are preventing us from being involved in our children's healthcare, education (including in the schools) and who knows what else is on the horizon with it. The scary thing is the healthcare. It is all tied together, as far as I'm concerned....taking away the rights of the parents to Parent our children the way we see fit. I don't need government telling me that if my child refused to take her medication at 12 years old I have no right to make her, all the while making me responsible for that child's actions when she/he doesn't go to school or even when that child vandalizes property because she/he's manic and then I get sued. It's in complete opposition to each other. On one hand, she doesn't have to be compliant in the home, but on the other, I get sued for thousands because she vandalizes property while refusing her medications. How do parents cope with this? I keep going back to the case in NJ, not far from here. The parents of a mentally ill child could not force compliance and went to family court and literally begged the judge to commit the child. Judge denies it. Mentally ill child kills a 9 year old boy and stuffs him in a suitcase two days later. Mentally ill child is in jail. Parents are in mental hell and anguish and a boy is dead. The system stinks. [/QUOTE]
