In part one we were discussing something called "In Loco Parentis", all parents should be made aware of this; If you missed part 1 go back and read it first.
Now lets continue exploring the case in AZ that we were talking about;
"The Supreme Court saw this exactly as the public did, Adam Wolf, "Eight of the nine justices had no problem coming to the same conclusion as the public". This court's decision "will protect the well-being and Constitutional rights of schooolchldren". This judge added that children who find themselves in a situation similar to this one---who are being forced to comply with a strip search--will have legal recourse. www.azcentral.com
- Now your asking yourself, but how is this possible in the United States of America? Children have rights too.
There is such a thing as the Hatch Agreement, heard of it? Following is the Hatch Agreement letter, this letter is designed to guarantee that parents can and do maintain the right to determine their child's (ren) edcucational path.
What is that ? You asked, how does this apply to you?
We have mentioned on occasions the term "In Loco Parentis". The meaning of this Latin phrase means in place of or instead of the parents. This is used in public schools all over America.
You will have noticed that whenever your child (ren) leave the school grounds they will send a permission slip for you, the parent to sign before you child (ren) will be allowed to leave the school grounds on a field trip. This is "In Loco Parentis".
In otherwords, the school automatically has your permission, through this term, the moment your child (ren) starts attending the public school to act in your place in order to care for, and supervise your child (ren).
This is how Child Protective Services is able to bypass your parental rights and allow social workers and other officials to interview your child (ren) on school grounds. The Hatch letter (agreement) is designed to give back the power to the parents.
However, we have found that most principals bypass this agreement and whever you, the parent, ask for this document to be placed into your child (ren's) file it makes little difference, if any. Although we encourage you to file this doucment with your school take a look at the Consitutional Rights care that we recommend that your child (ren) carry with them at all times.
