Summary/Abstract: Most of the adults are not even aware that minors are human beings in every sense of the word, having – from nature – the same rights as them, that they must respect them just the way they claim respect from the little ones; basically, most of the adults are simply a sort of dictators – nicer, even of good faith when they manipulate them, or on the contrary, more brutal, taking violent measures in order to get their children’s unconditional obedience. Thus, grown-ups consider and treat minors in a wide range of manners, such as: something divine, or their toys, something auxiliary or important, but they should be “obedient”, capable of work, obedient or indifferent, according to what their own interests and education dictate to them (more elevated or poorer). Some of the adults, being once children, grew up around some adults as uneducated as them. By recognizing the minors’ natural rights, too (as they were regulated), it derives that parents have the obligations to respect their dignity, freedom of thought and expression etc., as well as their rights to being raised and educated in a healthy atmosphere, without violence or constraints, without manipulations or duplicitous manifestations, so that children can develop a harmonious personality based on the respect of the moral values and laws.
