What are the rights of a minor who is in the custody of the state?

Answer 1

It depends on which state you have become an award of. As a former ward of the state of Nevada I had all of the same rights as any other child. If I had a grevance, there was a process I could go through as well. It may be more benifical if you were to supply more information on your state and circumstances, I may be able to help you further. Age also plays a part, some states offer imancipation and if you can manage that, imancipation is making you a legal adult, responsible for yourself and able to get married. The minor has the same restrictions as does any minor in any state. The terms of the state custodial order determines whether or not the minor is directly under the control of the court, has an appointed guardian, or is under the supervision of the state's child protective or family services division. Minors who are under a direct order of the court need the courts approval for all major issues, such as changing residence, school, employment, medical, etc. and are usually appointed a Guardian Ad Litem.

Answer 2

In the world today, there are certain rights that all children should have. Human rights organizations would say that these include:

1: the right to a good education.

2. the right to have enough food to eat.

3. the right to live in a safe home environment.

4. the right to be protected from harm.

Sadly, not every country enforces these basic rights. In some countries, children are not given any education and they are sent to work at a young age. In some countries, children are exploited and treated harshly. And while some countries have strong laws to protect children, others have no such laws at all. Further, in some countries, children (girls especially) can be married off at a young age, without their consent, while in other countries, this is not allowed.

Not knowing what country you are from, I cannot say what its policies are, but in the United States, there are a number of laws that ensure the rights of children. For example, there are laws against child abuse, laws that guarantee children an education, and laws that prevent children from going to work at too young an age or being married against their will. These laws are not always enforced the way they should be, but for the most part, children do have rights in America and these rights are generally taken seriously.

It depends on what people around you do and let you do.
