- W2890361579 abstract "Traditionally in our society, as in most if not all others, children are viewedas the property of their parents, who are invested with rights seen asnecessary to carry out their duties. However, during the course of thiscentury we have begun to witness a fundamental change in attitudes towardsparent/ child relationships. First has been a growing recognition that parents’rights over their children are not inviolable, and that the state has a right tointervene to protect children’s interests. Our legislation marks those changes.Until the divorce law reforms in the 1970s, decisions about children werebased on the guilt or otherwise of the parent: the guilty partner lost custodyregardless of the impact on the child. Now, however, the welfare of the childmust be the paramount consideration in decisions taken by the court underthe Children Act 1989. We have also seen the growing recognition thatparents are capable of harming and abusing their children. This knowledgeis now so commonplace it is difficult to comprehend the shock of the MariaColwell case when it first hit the headlines, shattering comfortableassumptions about the nature of family life. It is now clearly accepted thatchildren have a right to be protected from such harm and that the state hasa responsibility to intervene to provide that protection. The other majorchange has been the recognition that parents do not have sole responsibilityfor their children. The state is now acknowledged to have a key role to playin supporting parents. The introduction of universal child benefits and fulltime education from the age of 5, free health care and, in particular, theprovision for children of regular developmental health checks, the schoolhealth service, dental and optical care, all attest to a level of concern currentin our society for the general well-being and protection of our children.Whether that level of concern goes far enough is a matter for political debatewhich I will not pursue here. But the central point is that we do have a broadconsensus that neither the rights nor the responsibilities of parenthood aretotal or absolute although there are fundamental differences of opinionabout where the lines should be drawn." @default.
