QUESTION 5
Children’s rights extends to letting the child’s opinion overpower that of their
parents when making decisions directly affecting the child.
A: True and false. In article fourteen, the freedom of thought and opinion of the child is encouraged, meaning that the opinions of the child would be taken seriously by the parents and put into consideration when making the decision [see BENEFITS].
However, the article is there to ensure that the child’s voice is heard, not to give the child complete control. This means that the parents would still have the final say, but they would need to make the decision with the child’s perspective in mind.
