Children as Equals explores the subject of children's rights. The
twelve chapters are written by authors whose disciplines include
history, law, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. The book
explores such questions as: What is a child? How did the movement
for the rights of the child originate, and what is its relation to
the human rights movement? What do we mean by rights? To which
rights are children entitled? Should their rights vary with age and
competency? What about the rights of parents? The complete text of
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), to
which nearly all the chapters refer, is reproduced in an Appendix.
Several chapters examine the implications of two of the
Convention's fundamental principles: 'the best interests of the
child' and 'the evolving capacities of the child.' Four chapters
focus on the legal status of children in the United States,
especially in connection with custody and abuse. The book aims to
introduce the subject of children's rights to a general educated
audience, and provides a thoughtful resource for academics, legal
professionals, counseling practitioners, policymakers, lawmakers,
and parents.
