Kids, the Law, and You Understanding and Using the Legal System to Protect Our Children

Here is what every parent, caretaker, teacher, and social worker needs to know (but is seldom told).This guide answers the tough questions about how the law affects children and explains a parent's rights and responsibilities on everything from child custody to caring for children with serious medical problems, from the rights of biological parents to the rights of adopted children.Anyone who has come in conflict with the police, a spouse, the church, the school board, the medical community, the courts, or the state over a child-related matter will appreciate the straightforward advice this book provides. It includes contact addresses so readers know where to turn if they have specific questions. Plus, it offers advice on how to prepare a child to deal with the stress of giving testimony in court.Waters, Robert C. is the author of 'Kids, the Law, and You Understanding and Using the Legal System to Protect Our Children' with ISBN 9780889089396 and ISBN 0889089396.
