Any person, regardless of gender or age, has inalienable rights, such as the right to life, liberty, protection from harsh or degrading treatment, etc. But there is a category of people who especially need to respect these rights. These are kids. After all, because of their small age, physical weakness, they simply will not be able to properly protect themselves. Therefore, it is obvious that the rights of children, as the most defenseless citizens of the state, should be under special protection and supervision.

The main role in this belongs to his parents, and in their absence, to his guardians or other legal representatives. It is they who must make efforts so that the child has all the opportunities for healthy and harmonious development, that is, he is provided with food, clothing and shoes, has the opportunity to study, receive medical assistance if necessary, and also grow up in a favorable psychological environment.

Unfortunately, there are (and quite often) situations when parents, or guardians, or employees of childcare facilities where a child lives and is brought up, dishonestly relate to their responsibilities for raising him, and sometimes their behavior poses a direct threat to the life or health of the child. In such cases provided for by the Family Code (UK) of Russia, the main responsibility for protecting the interests of the child rests with the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, as well as with the prosecutor's office and the juvenile inspection.

In cases of dishonest fulfillment of their duties to raise a child, and even more cruel treatment, these bodies must resort to all legal means at their disposal, up to appeal to the court with a claim for the deprivation of parental rights (according to Article 69 of the UK).

If there is good reason to believe that the presence of a child with parents or guardians poses a direct threat to his life or health, the child can be temporarily separated from them even without a court decision (according to Article 79 of the Criminal Code). Of course, this measure should be resorted to only in extreme cases, urgent, with caution, trying to eliminate the risk of error, since it can cause severe stress not only for parents, but, first of all, for the child himself.
Helpful advice
The kid should know and remember that he can turn to the guardianship authorities for help, and starting from the age of 14, he can go to court.
