"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." DefinitionsChildren in NamibiaThe United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "every human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier."

For one thing, you could advocate for universal health care so that all children have a right to medical attention when they are sick, without regard to their parents' poverty or immigration decisions, for which they are not responsible.

They are taught Spanish in school and it isn't that much different. I am debating as to how to approach it. I learned at a very young age as my father would only let me speak to him in Italian. I don't want to go about it that way for my own children as I am trying to limit the emotional scarring. I was wondering how you taught your children or how your parents taught you.

Spanish is a must for my daughter since she has family who does not speak english but that doesn't mean force it on her.

Q. My sister has two 8 year olds and a 2 year old. Sometimes she will leave them home alone for a couple hours while she goes out. I think it is very wrong and was wondering what the legal age is to leave your child home by themselves. Can she get her children taken away from her if anyone were to find out? Thanks.
