Rights of minors

Protection of the rights of minors is carried out in a special order. In many cases, legislation gives special attention to their legal status. Why? First of all, because the representatives of this social group are the most vulnerable in a variety of ways. The state should do everything possible to ensure that the child is properly developed, and the negative impact on him was minimal. The basic rights of parents and children are spelled out in the Family Code. Some of them are contained in the Labor Code, various federal laws and so on.

Rights of minors

Who is a minor? This is the one who has reached the age of fourteen, but has not yet reached the age of eighteen. Eighteen years is the age from which people in our country are recognized as adults. In other countries, adults can also be recognized from a different age (for example, from twenty-one years old).

The personal non-property rights of minors are numerous. These include the right to life, as well as getting family education. It is extremely important, because it is the family that gives the maximum of morality, only in it the child can achieve maximum success in physical and intellectual development.
