more information wanted

It says in the article that "children served as couriers, intelligence collectors, and other underground resistance workers in opposition to Hitler's regime." This is very interesting. Can anyone give more information about this?

Why the Title?

Why 'children's rights movement' and not just 'Children's Rights'?

  • Fair point, but the article is more narrow than just children's right, focussing mostly on attempts to establish them... anyway, "Children's rights" redirects to this article. Herostratus 16:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the best websites I've found about child slavery (or labor). Do you want to add them to the article? http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/IRchild.htm And another: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAchild.htm Sundiiiaaa 18:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are excellent links, yes, please add them. Herostratus 03:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I don't know how. Could you please do it for me? Thanks. Sundiiiaaa 18:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, done. Just look (in edit mode) at the "External links" section to see the format, which is: "*" if it's part of a list (usually the case), followed by "[", followed by complete URL, followed by a space, followed by the description (which may include spaces), followed by "]".

Wonderful. Thank you. I must ask you to please carefully & slowly read that article about the USA children, notice the ages (age 4) & work conditions (hands cut off) & pay & hours, & don't you think we should change the title of that website to say "Child slavery in USA in 20th century"? I guess we can't, but it should be. Sundiiiaaa 19:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article says "By the late 1800s, the orphan train had stopped running altogether, but its principles lived on." But in the Children's Aid Society web link it says the last orphan train was in 1929. May I change 1800 to 1929? Sundiiiaaa 22:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More on children's individual rights

Saw a news report some time ago about children in third-world countries (and regions of 1st world countries) who work because they have no other option. The piece was not about slave labor, but about how many governments have laws written for the benefit of children as workers. Meaning they have the rights as individuals as opposed to their parents having control over them. The piece stated that the US and maybe one other country were the only two that had no children's rights (from that perspective), because in the U.S. parents have total say over their kids' lives. (I Guess that jibes with the controversy section; but I don't see why that can't be drawn out more) I have been intrigued since then with the concept; that even as we pass laws to protect children from society, some acknowledge children's rights to be functioning individuals within their society.

Does anyone have more on this aspect of children's rights? 66.57.225.77 08:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
