Human Life International Ireland (HLII) Chief Executive Patrick
Mc Crystal has issued a press release on the upcoming Children’s Rights
Referendum calling it a “power
grab of monstrous proportions”“The transfer of power away FROM parents TO the State in the proposed referendum is staggering in its audacity. In a perverse sense, this is an attack on children”
So said Patrick McCrystal, Executive Director of Human Life
International (Ireland) today.
“To remove parental protection - as proposed - is a massive loss of rights to the thousands of children currently in married households. Children should be getting more protection, not less!”
He continued:
“ This referendum is required to copperfasten the U.N. Rights of the Child in Irish law. Unbelievably, under article 2 of that convention, children must be “protected” from the parent’s opinions and beliefs.“Minister Frances Fitzgerald is not telling us the whole story.”
EVERY child will be a candidate for State confiscation via
the forced adoption provision (Article 42A2:2 and 42A:2:3) The scene is set for cases heard
in family courts “in-camera” - behind closed doors - with gagging of parents.
“Best interests of the child” is a carte blanche to the State to do whatever it wants and parents will be helpless.”
Mr McCrystal concluded.
