YOUTH AND THEIR RIGHTS

"componere lites"


To settle disputes (Horace)

Today I would like to ask... How do you feel about children and their rights?  Does our society  consider them simply mini-adults who should be held to  the same standards to Adults (persons over 18 years of age)? Do you believe that in some cases the authorities are going a bit far in enforcing rules?  or are they possibly trying to avert situations by having drug sniffing dogs on campus to prevent drug use...or perhaps arresting these youths in front of they're peers (disrupting classes) is geared toward deterring the "Possibility" of future crime from these youths, (school shootings) or do you think the following scenarios/cases actually lack reasonable suspicion and the next thing that will probably come from this will be to have our schools run like prisons, with searches, metal detectors, drug sniffing K9;s or the like.  Furthermore,  are the parents of these alleged offenders being properly informed about their rights? or are theirs possibly being violated as well.  Interesting topic...  Please take the time to review if this is something that may interest you. Would love to hear from you.
