This category deals with the rights, duties and responsibilities of parents concerning their children. The focus is on the parental side of the relationship. The basis for these rights are set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The parental aspect in upholding children's rights under the convention is the central concept of this category. Similar rights of other family members and caregivers are also included. Problems with Child Protection Services and foster caregivers are also relevant, as are custody, guardianship and child support issues.
