Biologically, a child (plural: children) is generally a human between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of "child" generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. "Child" may also describe a relationship with a parent or authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties."

What happens to children when a single parent is incarcerated?
Q. Do children automatically get placed into foster care? Does it depend on the family situation? Does the crime or the length of the sentence affect whether or not children are put up for adoption? What if a parent is released early or found innocent? Are the children returned to the parent?

Does the Santa scenario prepare children born to Christians for the belief system they will have to endure?
Q. Santa scenario: good children get presents, bad children get lumps of coal. Christian scenario: good adults go to heaven, bad adults go to hell. See the similarities? You know, the Santa scenario is like a warm up for Christianity; a simple set of morals that a child can easily understand and when they grow up, this childlike state of mind stays with them and they think of themselves as good people and everyone not like them as bad people. And you also see how the Santa scenario is most prevalent in countries under the shadow of Christian organized religions?

A. so Santa Claus is a task to "endure--?" perhaps your mother would like to be informed of that---I'm sure she could have spent her money on plenty of other things than your presents---and Christianity is not a lie---seek Jesus before it's too late--

Why are children 8 times more depressed today than in the 1930s?
Q. According to a scientific study with controls, we have 8 times the frequency of children with serious depression as compared to children during the depression in the 1930s. Here are a couple theories: Theory N: Children are over fed and under nourished today. The depression children had a plant based diet. Theory E: Expectations of children are inflated in part because of mass media. Do these theories make sense to you? What is your theory?
