Childrens+Rights-P5


 * SUlrich, LNguyen, CKoreerat**

The rights of children guarentees children are to be free from discrinmination, protected in armed conflicts, protected from torture and cruel, inhuman treatment or punishment, to be free of their liberty, to recieve appropriate treatment from the justice system, and free from economic eploitation and other abuses.


 * Huck's father, Pap, was known to be the town drunk. Pap frequently abuses Huck because he disapproves of Huck's education. The community was unable to protect Huck from his father. Children at the time didn't have many of their rights that possess today in the world.
 * There were no children rights that protected the children, so Huck having all the money he possessed, knowing full well that Pap was back in town, gave all his money to Judge Thatcher, so his dad would not take his money and use it for his own personal use (getting drunk).

Children also go under other human rights abuses such as: millions are uneducated, work long and dangerous conditions, forced to become soldiers, and are in orphanages or detention centers where they encounter assualts on their dignity.
 * Huck is uneducated and comes from the lowest rank of white society.
 * His father has vanished for sometime and Huck is homeless for a moment of time.

These abuses exist because children have few methods of reporting violence and other human rights violations. Also, children may be scared to speak out because the abusers may have imposed a threat on them. Children somtimes aren't heard becuase the simple fact they are children and aren't taken seriously.
