Maybe I should post article after article detailing abuse of children at the hands of their parents or guardians.

And of course that would prove that homeschooling is dangerous to children.

Please.

Just put a warning on them so that I do not inadvertently read them. Now I know better than to click on Storm's links. I find abuse of the helpless: children, animals, the elderly, to be so upsetting that I must avoid descriptions of them.

sorry ill post a warning next time on them.
I find it sickening also but it reminds me of why one has to be carefull out there and double careful for and about their kids.

The state is taking over way too many things that should be up to the parents that it makes me angry.
Sure some people should not have kids but in most cases the parents know far better what is best for their kids than some gov agency does.
be it schools or what ever.

Strm, the first link is one of many reasons my child is and his brother will be in private school. The other links offer a warning to parents who would be blind. By that I mean that they don''t establish a loving and open communication with their children. Children must be able to talk to their parents about anything. We must be vigilant as parents to notice that which is out of the ordinary with our children. I do not think that these things can happen without a discernable change in a child''s behaviour. If you are watching your child, you should be able to at least suspect that something is not right.

"parents have no rights over their kids at a gov. school" is quite incorrect and needlessly inflammatory.

You may have even less influence over what it taught in a private school - particularly if it is religious-based and you have some specific thoughts about religion or certain religious principles. By the time they were trying to "teach" us about the transubstantiation I new it was bunk!

""The three-judge panel of the full court further ruled that parents "have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students.""

sure sounds like " parents have no rights over their kids at a gov. school" to me.

The only good thing is that its the 9th circus which is the most overturned court in the US so there is a good chance it will get reversed.

It just means that once your school system (led by the elected board) has decided what to teach the parents don''t get line item veto.

The only schools where the parents don''t have much in the way of rights is the military academies. You can''t even go SEE your kid.

The problem is, the potential for victimization of our children isn''t unique to public schools . . . it''s everywhere. Public school teachers don''t wear a halo around their heads. You''ll find predators at private schools too, at organized sports activities, at the library, at church, with caregivers, among the families of our children''s friends, within our own families. My girls have a friend and last year I had to confront the girl''s mother and tell her that my kids weren''t allowed at her home anymore when the husband was present; I''d seen too many signs that he was "priming" my older daughter for abuse. I also told her that his behavior continued I''d contact the police and accuse him publicly.

The best course of action is to talk to your kids, teach them to recognize signs that they are a target, teach them that they are not bad or at fault if they become a target, teach them to speak out. Teach them to respect themselves and their bodies so that they don''t feel ashamed and secretive when they become a target. If you love your children, educate them and give them the tools they need to stand up for themselves.
