The powers described in the Parents constitution are the power or authority
- of Custody
- of Physical and mental protection
- to provide Health and Safety
- to Supervision
- to decide the location of residence of the child, their religious belief,
- to make healthcare-related decisions of the child
The power given to parents over their children also goes along with responsibilities. Some of these have been mentioned above. Others are to provide:
- food
- shelter
- food and nutrition
- choice of school
- long term activities and hobbies
- education etc
Children by the virtue of age, physical, mental, and emotional abilities are prone to errors. This is why they require care. For this primary reason, the responsibility and authority to carry out those responsibilities must be attributed to an adult.
It is estimated that by the age of 18 and above (for most countries) a healthy person has gathered sufficient information, environmental know-how, mental and physical strength to solve the primary problems of survival. Hence, they are no longer minors and can fend for themselves as well as for others.
Parental Authority is crucial to the survival of the human race. If minors were allowed to do as they please, man would steer itself into extinction.
