Should the Wells children have been allowed to be emancipated from their parents? Why or why not. Is it time to examine children’s rights? Should some children be granted more rights at an earlier age?

This question calls for your opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. In regard to the Walls, parenting skills were not a part of the package. Had the children been emancipated from their parents, others would have stepped in, and the children would likely have been separated. Children deserve to be raised and cared for.... Rose Mary and Rex did not fulfill that role. Lori, on the other hand, though the most responsible caregiver in the home, is too young to support and care for her younger siblings on her own. Children's rights, though important, come second to child safety.
