- She's right. Denying children some control over their own futures is
- denying them innate rights given to evey human being.

- Without reading the entire essay, I can't confirm or deny that
- statement. However, denying children a legal way to escape
- overbearing parents will just result in them running away, committing

- child-parent relational problems happen all too often.
