I tell you the children have the same rights that we have, and we ought to treat them as though they were human beings. They should be reared with love, with kindness, with tenderness, and not with brutality. That is my idea of children. * 2 The rights of minors are as sacred as the rights of the aged. * 3 Even if each man could alienate himself, he could not alienate his children: they are born men and free; their liberty belongs to them, and no one but they has the right to dispose of it. Before they come to years of discretion, the father can, in their name, lay down conditions for their preservation and well-being, but he cannot give them irrevocably and without conditions: such a gift is contrary to the ends of nature, and exceeds the rights of paternity. * 4 ...bringing a child into the world is the greatest responsibility. * 5 The Child's Rights: To be wanted. To be created in harmony, love. To have the vehicle of its entrance free from disease. To have the guarantee that its own body and brain may be able to function as an instrument for the soul's advancement.
