Parental Rights

Parents are responsible for raising their children and should have the right to refuse to pay for whatever their child wants if they deem it dangerous or unwise.

Being forced to pay for gender changing medical treatment denies their parental rights. Parents have Medical Power of Attorney over their dependent children until they are self-supporting and financially able to live on their own, make their own good and bad decisions and pay for the consequences of the bad decisions.

Parents have property and privacy rights. Government has left them with all the responsibilities for their families and no rights to exercise those responsibilities. Current law does not protect personal property rights.

Children who are severely abused by their parents have legal rights to “escape” and petition the government to become wards of the State or otherwise emancipated. Courts have the power to assign legal custody of these children.

Parental should not be required by law to allow their children to be subjected to the LGBT agenda.
