Summary/Abstract: In order to apply in practice the provisions of Article 19 and 24 of Convention of the Rights of the Child, the state must allow parents to provide healthy food and clean water for their children and ban the sale of food products that are harmful to the health of children in its territory. Also, the state must prohibit the sale and use of children's apparel and footwear, which is in its raw material composition and the model, harmful to children's health. It must not be allowed to sell the products for children's nutrition and the use of such packaging that has been proven dangerous to the health of children. Also, it should ban the use of any product deemed by the medical science potentially harmful to public health, especially the health of children. Furthermore, the production of cigarettes, as well as their sales and use should be prohibited, because parents are destroying the physical and mental health of children and thus condemn society to disease. The purpose of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is not that the state assumes the role of referee between parent and child, but first to help parents and enable them to give their children healthy food, clean water and clothing that will facilitate and not impede normal growth and development of the child.
