Below are a few key factors to be considered as we begin to develop an overall framework for protecting our children. Please be sure to add your comments and ideas below.
- Government protects society through the protection of its children.
- The first-line of defense for our children is their family.
- Government should play a minimal role in the parenting and socialization process of children.
- The family is a self-generating, self-reinforcing unit.
- Families need to be recognized for the contributions they make to society and the impact they have on the political, economic, and social welfare of our country.
- Parents are the individuals that help create the personal capacity and resilience children need for success.
- By allowing politicians and government bureaucrats to assume greater and greater parental responsibility, the role of the family is diminished.
