Custody and guardianship by the parent of his child does not arise under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States and is not dependent on them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The state doesn't own your children. Parents own the children.
I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don't know their rights.
When it comes to determining child custody, however, sexism is the rule.
The courts cannot garnish a father's salary, nor freeze his account, nor seize his property on behalf of his children, in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.
The child is not an empty being who owes whatever he knows to us who have filled him up with it. No, the child is the builder of man. There is no man existing who has not been formed by the child he once was.
Guardians are necessary for children and abnormal adults, because they cannot make responsible choices for themselves.
You would have a huge statelessness problem if you don't consider a child born abroad a U.S. citizen.
People without children do have the freedom to do things that caring parents with dependent kids can't - to work long hours, to travel frequently, to relocate, and to do all these things on short notice if necessary. In return, they can achieve positions that devoted parents can't.
You can't separate the two, being a parent, being a cop.
There's no vacation from being a parent.
