Study On The Protection Of The Rights Of The Vulnerable Children

Children represent the future in the developing society, and lay a foundation on human history. At the same time, children are the vulnerable groups in the human society. The children who have the poor body, lowly social status or the terrible living environment, especially, need more help and protection from the whole society. In the past, child was regarded as the property in families but the subject of rights. Because of the Enlightenment, the adult society realizes the rights and interests of the children. In the modern age, the construction and development of legal protection system of the children supply comprehensive protection of the rights of children. Nowadays, the protection of children’s rights in our country has achieved the enormous progress, a series of statutes on it have been enacted and revised successively. We can not deny the fact that there are some defects in the protection of the rights to the vulnerable children.This paper is divided into three parts:preface, body and conclusion.

What’s more, the country and the whole society should take the responsibility of juvenile delinquency and the aim of criminal correction is to help he minor offender to return to society successfully rather than the punishment. As a result, the execution socialization, such as the community correction, and the elimination of criminal record are the new trends of the system of criminal correction.
