Parentalrights.org - Protecting Children by Empowering Parents -- The Solution: The Parental Rights Amendment

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), a seemingly harmless treaty with dangerous implications for American families, is approaching possible ratification by the United States.

The scenarios that could occur—and are occurring—as a result of this dangerous notion are both manifold and frightening.
