Children's legal rights in the U.S

Article Abstract:

The conflict over children's rights stems from the desire to protect them on the one hand and to recognize their autonomy on the other. The former would require that children be given more positive and negative rights and immunities, while the latter would emphasize liberties and power rights. Positive and negative rights and immunities protect the children from exploitation such as child labor. Liberties and power rights would entail decisions such as abortion. Due process is a mixture of the two types of rights. The question of whether to grant more rights to children should be accompanied by the question of whether such action would benefit them.

Never married biological teen mother headed household

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the literature on adolescent head-of-household mothers suggests that only a network of service providers, policymakers and extended family can help break the cycle of poverty in which adolescent mothers are involved. Deficit, decision-making and subjective utilities models demonstrate that the best strategy for engendering long-term benefits is through programs that build self-esteem and social acceptance. Criticism, blame and accusations are a waste of valuable time and energy.

The effect of welfare laws on the family

Article Abstract:

Existing welfare laws are influenced by the prevailing attitudes, beliefs and values. White middle-class work ethics, beliefs regarding male-female roles and the concept of self-sufficiency inform welfare laws and do not take into account the findings of research done on poverty, its causes and its dynamics. The main reason for this is that the findings do not conform to the above-mentioned beliefs.
