What provision do we have for the protection of children?
Answers
Protection stands for the right to be shielded from certain acts and practices (social and individual misuses). It is close to parenting. In our culture the responsibility for parenting is restricted to two adults, the mother and the father. Parenting is perceived as a private issue. However, the components of parenting are complex and specialized. Children are actually parented by several adults “in private parental parenting and in professional parenting. The problem is: what is the interplay between these different aspects of parenting? A suggestion focusing on this very interplay springs from the problems of marginalized families. A study of child protection (Fisher et al, 1986) proposes that the concept of parents should be extended. "All parenting is shared between the family and the wider kinship and friendship network, and between this system and state provision".
Every major reform on children has been implemented through new special groups of experts, and much of childhood is encapsulated in the institutions influenced by professional thinking. Socially shared parenting would involve a lot of rethinking as to children as a social group, as well as children at risk. The redistribution of the economic "burden" due to the maintenance of children is a form of socially shared parenting. Another 'social parenting' concern is how children are parented in child institutions like schools day care centres and children's homes. Are we, as child experts, able to develop means to protect children and adults from negative and growth-denying experiences? Are we able to create environments that actually go beyond the impressive planning illustrated by 'figures, boxes and arrows'?
Children make their acquaintance with the world in these institutions and schools. These are the places where they meet and reflect on the world in their minds, and grasp it in their own way. For these explorations, plenty of room and free space of all kinds are needed. Institutions for children are also socialized forms of mother's breast and father's lap. These are supposed to be feeding and encouraging, not suffocating and imprisoning
