Fines, bullying and debts. What laws in Russia protect children?

A legal society guarantees that every person from birth has certain rights and freedoms. Moreover, regardless of age: even children have civil rights, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. As practice shows, today one can often encounter non-compliance with constitutional rights, including in relation to minor citizens. The reasons are different and one of them is ignorance of the rights of small citizens and the freedoms that they may have.

Children is our future.

Children's rights laws

The main guarantees of rights are the following documents: the Constitution of the country, the Family Code of the Russian Federation and the Convention on the Rights of Children . The last document was approved at one of the meetings of the UN Assembly. In addition, the protection of the rights of minor children is guaranteed by various federal laws, which stipulate the following points:

1. Healthcare.
2. Basic guarantees.
3. Education.
4. Guarantees of social support for children left without parental care.
5. About equality.
6. On social protection in the Russian Federation for disabled children, etc. (disabled people can also apply for a visa and travel).

Basic laws on children's rights in the Russian Federation.

Convention on the Rights of Children

The legal regulation of all emerging issues regarding the protection of the rights of the child is based on the Convention. This document is the fundamental one among all the listed laws. In other words, the Convention serves as a guarantee of the rights of the child in the Russian Federation. But that's not all: there are many other points that need to be mentioned.

The Declaration of the Rights of the Child contains many more points regarding the protection of children and their lives. It mentions the protection of orphanhood, the rights of disabled children, protection from sexual violence and cruel treatment. The Declaration of the Rights of the Child also contains the following guarantees:

1. Protection of living space.
2. The secrecy of telephone conversations and correspondence.
3. Non-disclosure of personal information, in particular about adoption, personal life, etc.
4. Opportunity to receive help in case of family deprivation. In such cases, the rights of minor children are protected by the state.
5. Protection from being forced to work in hazardous work.

What does a child have the right to in Russia?

How does the state protect children?

Respect for the rights of every minor is the responsibility of government agencies. In particular, this is the task of institutions responsible for guardianship and trusteeship. If serious conflict situations arise, the prosecutor's office and the court may intervene.

To do this, the child himself (or his parents) can fill out a special application form and send it to the prosecutor's office. Next, the case will go to court, which will regulate the rights of the child.

Until what age is a child considered such?

A child is considered a person who has not reached the age of majority (eighteen years of age). But there are also exceptions. The first case is if a 16-year-old teenager, with the consent of his parents (guardian, adoptive parent), gets a job, signs a contract or employment agreement, and engages in volunteering.

As an option, a 16-year-old teenager begins to engage in entrepreneurial activity, then he can already be declared legally competent. Another case is marriage before adulthood. In this case, the teenager is considered legally competent from the day the marriage was concluded.

For information about what emancipation of minors is, see the following video.

Minors and minors

By law, children were divided into two categories - minors and minors. Depending on the category of children in the Russian Federation, whether they are minors or minors, children and their parents are provided for by law with various rights and freedoms. A child is considered a minor from birth to the age of fourteen.

At the age of 14, a teenager becomes a minor. The rights and freedoms of each child depend on which category he belongs to. So, until he turns 14 years old, all issues are resolved by his parents (guardians, adoptive parents).

At the age of 14, a person already has the right to independently make decisions about small transactions, and upon reaching adulthood, he acquires the rights of an adult, becomes fully capable and has all the civil rights and responsibilities of other citizens of the state.

According to the law of the Russian Federation, 14 years is the period for obtaining a passport.

What rights does current legislation guarantee for a child?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights issued by the UN regarding the rights of the child contained the following declaration: due to the fact that children are still physically and mentally immature, they must be guaranteed legal protection.

This will help ensure protection and care from the moment of conception until the age of 18. To ensure that children can live a happy life, several important principles have been established to ensure a happy childhood.

Principles of the Declaration

The most important of them states that every child has all fundamental rights that should be recognized by both other children and adults. Discrimination on grounds such as religion, language, gender, skin color, race, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property status or any other circumstances that affect both children and members of their family is prohibited.

Principles of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

Every citizen of the Russian Federation from birth has the right to receive a last name, first name and patronymic. They can be given by both parents and adoptive parents. If a father and mother have different surnames, which one their son or daughter will bear is decided by mutual agreement. If the parents could not agree, the child’s first and last name is given by the guardianship and trusteeship authority.

If parents do not like the name chosen by themselves or a government organization, they have the right to change the surname or first name, but until their child turns 10 years old. If the daughter or son is over 10 years of age, then, according to legal protection, it is possible to change the child’s last name or first name only if he agrees with this decision.

Social protection

Under the current law, a minor citizen is provided with social protection. He is also provided with favorable conditions so that he has the opportunity to develop spiritually, morally, mentally and physically, his freedom, dignity, social rights and interests are not oppressed by other people: the main goal of all legislative acts of the Russian Federation regarding children is to best ensure the interests of each child until 18 years.

Expenditures on the social sphere of the Russian Federation.

Family law

Family law says: in order for a child to develop fully and harmoniously, he needs love and understanding, which only a family can give - natural or adoptive parents, guardians.

Material and moral security, an atmosphere of love in the family circle, parental responsibility - all this ensures a happy childhood for every child. The most important right of minor children is to always remain with their mother and only in exceptional cases is separation from her allowed. Society and public authorities are obliged to take care of the rights of orphans who have no family and no means of subsistence.

If a child lives in a large family, the ombudsman for children’s rights in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation must ensure that this family is provided with benefits from the state so that they can support the children.

Just about the main thing. Family law in the Russian Federation. We recommend watching it.

Why is it important?

The older generation in our country takes a very active part in the life and upbringing of children. Many minors often spend more time with their grandmother than with their parents. The same is true in some cases for siblings. However, this gives rise to some legal difficulties.

Finding a child with his closest people, but not his parents, can be interpreted as a lack of parental care. And this, in turn, may cause some “interest” among the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. This entails the strengthening of such a phenomenon as “juvenile justice,” which is unacceptable, deputies believe.

Education

Education is the most important condition on which not only the career, but also the well-being of every citizen depends. Therefore, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation states that every child can study at school for free. Moreover, the state legislatively regulates the education system so that it helps every student:

• develop culturally;
• develop personal judgment;
• foster moral responsibility.

All this will help everyone, over time, benefit the society that gave him all these opportunities.

Responsibility for the quality of education lies not only with educational institutions, but also with parents: the child must be provided with all the conditions for learning, as well as games, the purpose of which is to improve education.

Realization of the child's right to education.

The state also defends the right of people with disabilities to education: for this purpose, various educational institutions of various types have been opened.

Child's rights to education

The types of rights associated with education are as follows. The child can:

1. Take an accelerated course.
2. Use information and library resources.
3. Get additional education.
4. Study in your native language or choose any other language of instruction provided by the educational system.
5. Move to another educational institution if the educational institution ceases its activities. But at the same time, according to the rights of the child in the Russian Federation, he must agree on his decision with his parents.
6. Defend and defend your decision to change professional training. If he does not like his future profession, it is unacceptable to violate the child’s personal rights in this matter.
7. Realize your desire to obtain higher education.

Expenses on education in the Russian Federation.

The essence of the problem

The family legislation of the Russian Federation defines quite a lot of different circumstances related to family life. However, most of these provisions relate to property in one way or another. But the articles of the RF IC concern the relationships between relatives. For example, issues of communication and other interaction between children and their families.

Deputies note that the rights associated with children more or less belong to their parents. As for grandparents, as well as brothers and sisters, the situation is different. In fact, these relatives only have the right to see minors. Otherwise, the rights of grandparents and brothers and sisters are severely limited.

Medical support

As for health protection, the rights of the child in the Constitution of the Russian Federation also contain clauses regarding health protection. They state that every minor has all rights and freedoms in the field of medical care. He can:

1. Get treatment and observation at a dispensary.
2. Take advantage of preferential conditions for food and medical care.
3. Receive information about his/her health status in a form that, according to the protection of children's rights, is accessible to his/her age.
4. Study and work in conditions that exclude the adverse effects of various factors on his health.

What is very important, the protection of children’s rights in the Russian Federation allows minors who have reached the age of 15 to voluntarily agree or refuse medical intervention in writing.

Property rights of children

In the law on the fundamental rights of the child, one of the important points is the right of every minor to their own property. This applies to children’s housing rights and property purchased with personal funds, donated or inherited. According to the Civil Code, each child can dispose of his property at his own discretion.

Responsibilities of parents to support children

As for maintenance, the documents on children's rights say: parents must support their children until they receive an education. If the mother (father) receives child support, then, as indicated in the Federal Law, she (he) can spend the funds received on the maintenance of the child.

The amount of alimony is regulated by the court, but the amount cannot exceed 25% of the earnings of the party paying the elements. In addition, the party paying alimony may deposit the amount into a bank account opened in the name of the minor son or daughter. To see what types of alimony are provided for by law, see the following video. Upon reaching 18 years of age, according to the guarantee of children's rights in the Russian Federation, the owner can use the funds for education or for other purposes.

Rights of disabled children

What can the most vulnerable category of children count on? The Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees equal rights to all citizens without exception.

Right to study

According to the Federal Law, children with disabilities have a number of advantages over their peers:

• Priority admission to kindergartens and free attendance;
• Education in specially created correctional classes, if the state of health does not allow being in general education classes, as well as at home;
• Free meals at school;
• Gentle mode of passing exams.

Features of inclusive education.

The right to treatment, rehabilitation and socialization

Every disabled child has the right to treatment, rehabilitation and social adaptation in society. So what exactly can families raising a child with disabilities expect?

• Treatment in medical institutions and rehabilitation;
• Everything you need for a comfortable life for a minor (wheelchairs, orthopedic shoes, literature for visually impaired children, etc.);
• A ticket to a sanatorium, and the state provides free round-trip travel for both the child and his accompanying person.
• Free travel on public transport.
• Monthly cash benefits in accordance with the disability group and region.

Children with disabilities need comprehensive care.

Basic principles for the development of a system for protecting children's rights

Every country in the world has its own adopted declaration on the rights of the child.

The recommendations to this document contain instructions on what you need to pay attention to and what problems should be solved first, as well as what methods and ways to solve them are available.

The main provisions of such a declaration in our country include:

• creating favorable living conditions for each child (nutrition, professional medical care, social services and much more);
• provision of quality education (school, university);
• providing young children and adolescents with the opportunity to actively participate in society.

One of the serious problems in this area is the problem of child abuse.

These are all forms of physical and mental violence, beatings and insults, poor treatment, child exploitation and sexual assault.

Nearly half of all child abuse cases occur in the home, with the remaining half occurring in schools and other child care settings.

Therefore, a special system that helps monitor such violations of the rights of the child is of great importance in this case.
