i was taken by cps and placed with my aunt. I would like to stay with her but she has a cps record also. can she get guardianship of me?
For the past 2.5 years my grandaughter(2.5yrs old) has been in my care/custody from Thur - Sun. Now, suddenly her mother wants restrict all visitation with me, no overnights. Nothing has happened at my home to promote this action, my son is suddenly agreeing to everyother weekend visits. When my grandaughter needed her shots, I took her, when she got sick and needed her lungs pumped I took, I have had her in preschool, swim lessons, etc. etc. What can I do to protect my visitation rights with my grandaughter, we have a very strong bond and this change will confuse and hurt her.
I don't get along with my family. There is mental abuse, but not physical. I do have a place to stay, and it is a 2 parent responsible and healthy acting family, unlike my own family. My parents would never relinquish control of me. If I leave without permission, and I go live with this other family, a) could this other family be charged legally with a crime for allowing me to stay there without parent permission? b) could I be in legal trouble by staying there? My school grades are exc., but emancipation isn't possible since my parents refuse to allow me to have a job. Please help.

Speak Up! - View Question #415 |
 printer friendly version
Question: Is it illegal to take freedom of speech from kids in school?
Answer: School's need to maintain a safe environment for students and teachers. The right to free speech is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution. However, when spoken words are abusive, offensive or the language is unacceptable, your right to free speech may be limited. Fighting words, those that may create a situation in which a fight may occur, are not protected by the Constitution. Students' rights and the need for safe school environment may sometimes come in conflict. In such cases, the courts have determined that students may have their rights limited.

AS long as the words are not threating or abusive to any other students or teachers, than I think you should be able to say anything you want.

Yes it is illegal.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Abridging means to limit, restrict or make short. So it is illegal for your rights to be taken away. The problem is that the lawbreakers are lawmakers. I hope that someday they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law but until then, Good luck with that.

We should be able to say WHAT EVER we wanna say because kids have opinions and disagreements too. NOT JUST ADULTS! So why is it we get punished for speaking our mind? So maybe everything we say isn't nice, but i'm sorry to say the world aint perfect!!!!
