I am using here Florida law as an example.
The parent of a child, by nature's law, is fully in charge of physical and mental health and protection.
On the other hand, we pay for our children's education. We expect that our children are being protected from intentional infliction of physical or mental injury.
In a quick overview I do not find the definition of "caregiver" in the Florida Statutes. However, in a dictionary I find the definition as
1. An individual, such as a physician, nurse, or social worker, who assists in the identification, prevention, or treatment of an illness or disability.
2. An individual such as a family member or guardian, who takes care of a child or dependent adult.
Our school system except the responsibility looking after our children during the course of the day where there's supposed to be educating them on math, science, social studies etc.
We did not send their kids to school to receive physical or mental abuse, in fact there are laws that are designed to protect our children, such as, but not limited to:
(b) “Child abuse” means:
1. Intentional infliction of physical or mental injury upon a child;
2. An intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to a child; or
3. Active encouragement of any person to commit an act that results or could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to a child.
(c) “Maliciously” means wrongfully, intentionally, and without legal justification or excuse. Maliciousness may be established by circumstances from which one could conclude that a reasonable parent would not have engaged in the damaging acts toward the child for any valid reason and that the primary purpose of the acts was to cause the victim unjustifiable pain or injury.
I like it now when I see mothers and fathers going to school boards and raising a little hell about the way their children are being treated.
Here is a quote from the website http://wevgov.com/index.htm
“Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a
lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that, in the administration of the criminal law, the end justifies the means -- to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face.”
Come on America stand up!
