Children are children for a reason. When it comes to decision making, children most times always make really funny decisions based on how they feel at the moment and that’s what even some adults do too. Giving children the privilege of suing their parents anytime they feel like they we’re wronged, would just be another avenue to bring up children that will be lawless because, as a parent you can’t correct or discipline your child as you ought to because you are scared of getting arrested or your child being taken away from you.
Ideally, it is expected that when parents discipline their children, it is due to the fact that they have done something wrong and need to be corrected so they will know the gravity of that behavior they have exhibited but then, in our world today, we have heard of so many cases when parents literally bully their own children. For children like this, you will might even get to find out that they struggle to speak up because they are scared of their parents finding out that they reported them.
While on the other hand, some children will be so quick to report their parents to the police with every slight correction they get from their parents because they know that their parents can’t do them anything if they do so. Though they are children, they know very well how their parents are and some of them can use that against them while others will just feel helpless.
As a child having the opportunity to sue my parents when they wrong me would have made me happy on those days when I was really so mad at them but then, it would have been so chaotic because some children will definitely abuse this opportunity. We can’t deny the fact that some parents genuinely deserves to be sued with the way they handle their children but then, it is sometimes hard to really tell when it is them disciplining a child or just showing their superiority over that child.
I’m glad I didn’t live in a world when I could sue my parents because I’m very sure by now I will be regretting that decision a lot and that is because, the more I grew older, the better I understood why they had to make some decisions for me by correcting me. But for those children that are being maltreated by their parents or guardians in one way or another, I really wish such systems can be implemented so as to instill fear in the hearts of those kind of parents to treat their children in a more humane way. Because, sometimes I feel they forget that their children are also humans too.
Besides suing our parents, if there was such a law, it only means that it will apply to every one who maltreats you in a way that you don’t appreciate and that would have made things look somewhat disoriented because it will make some children turn into something that we can’t control or even recognize. Parents should only be advised to be more cautious of how they correct their children because children needs their parents guidance but if such a law was to be implemented, it will definitely take that right away from them.
Children are most times naive and unsure about a lot of things, they most times see anything that causes them pain as a bad thing and that will always make them appreciate anything that will help take away those bad things away from them. But then, as good parents, they know what they are trying to save their children from and that is why they have to discipline them. There is definitely an advantage of children having such privileges but then, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so it is a no-no for me. I’m happy as a child I didn’t get that opportunity because I can’t even imagine how it would have been.
Thank you for reading through. ❤️
Some parents deserve to be sued for how they treat their children; I've heard different stories of parents flogging their children to death.
Discipline is good, but then it shouldn't taken to the extreme mile by inflicting so much pain on a child; such parents should be taken to court and detained if need be.
I totally agree with you.
There should be a law that protects children even from their parents because some parents feels that as long as they are the parent, they can do anything they like to their children.
I think in educating children for me personally I don't restrain it too much, although it is important in educating our children so that they do not fall into the black world, but sometimes children's mentality can drop, even though there is a right for children to demand from their parents.
Yeah, sometimes it’s okay to leave them to make a choice themselves and if they make a mistake, as parents you just correct them and let them know a better way to make some decisions.

Thank you. 🥰
I watched a video of a dad who used patrol to burn his own child out of hot temper. My step mum too locked up her only two daughters and beat them almost to death, but then, they later died and never survived the torture. You see, we have some beast as parents and sometimes, I wish this kind of law is implemented.
However, I wouldn't want to experience such withy parents and with my children because family should have mutual understanding binded with love and not a kind of formal relationship which will happen if such law is implemented
For real, these things are happening in our world today and it is totally normal when we start thinking in this direction just to safeguard those children that are affected.
Like you rightly said, parents and children should have a mutual understanding and respect when it comes to discipline. Children are humans too, not objects.
Thanks for your insightful contribution, mama.
Yes. That is the truth. Children can not make any reasonable decisions. So when they are giving such powers, they will be much consequences because they can go to the extreme.
Thanks for sharing
Not all children though, but most children can’t make good decisions.
It’s my pleasure writing and having you stop by. 🌹
Thank you. 🥰
