children's rights

The first and foremost right that a child has is the right to grow up to adulthood unmolested and uninterfered with by anyone that includes both adults and other children of the same age younger or older than them.

A child must also have the right to reach full physical and mental development including cognitive, physical and emotional development. Unfortunately the child's right are limited in this respect because the majority cannot determine for themselves when they have reached that stage because they haven't experienced any other level of maturity that the majority of adults have come to reach down through the ages, therefore measures must be kept in place to protect the maturing young child and adolescent by the adults in civilised society and those systems kept in place to protect children's rights.
