"... the... father... forced him to go for runs in the middle of the night, banned him from shaving, made him show his genitals... took over his social media accounts & began controlling who he spoke to & where he went..."
@myeyesaredim The Supreme Court of Canada says that the right to be a parent or the right to control your child isn’t in the Charter. The courts said the right of a parent to parent their child can be found in section 7, but it’s never absolute because at the same time, a child is a human being, not property, and every human being has human rights, civil rights and charter rights. Those rights exist independent of parents. But #Postmedia#CdnMedia and the #Cons want #ParentsRights real bad.
"What’s really alarming about this parents' rights movement is that it seeks to decouple parental rights from ideas about a child’s best interests, arguing instead that whether or not vaccines are safe and effective, a parent’s right to have complete control in decision making should allow them to override their child’s best interest."
"care, love and gratitude for the shared home are core elements used in heteroactivist negotiations, with contextually established notions of gender equality and sexual rights as national values."
"The home as an exclusive and exclusionary space."
If you want to understand the parent's rights movement, you should read this ⬆️.
Abstract snippet:
"The analysis reveals how care, love and gratitude for the shared home are core elements used in heteroactivist negotiations, with contextually established notions of gender equality and sexual rights as national values. It also demonstrates how the home, which these actors seek to cherish and protect, takes shape as an exclusive and exclusionary space."
"The group fears that ratifying the treaty would mean children could choose their own religion, that children would have a legally enforceable right to leisure, that nations would have to spend more on children’s welfare than national defense, and that a child’s “right to be heard” could trigger a governmental review of any decision a parent made that a child didn’t like."
This is from 2014, but still. An all male group calling themselves ParentalRights.org is literally just a patriarchy. It's very obvious that this is about religious people believing they have a right to forcefully indoctrinate their children and control them. That is what #ParentsRights means. It means the violation of #ChildrensRights.
