The right to file a complaint: Difference between revisions

Everyone deserves a right to file a compliant. If your legal rights are violated, you must be allowed to formally file a formal complaint. It should then be read and action should be taken to stop the violation (as long as it isn't baseless, frivolous, or false). This is a [[positive right]] so knowingly interfering with it should be a crime. Everyone deserves that right. If inmates, people which were proven guilty of a crime deserve this right, why don't the minors. Why aren't minors guaranteed by law to be able to file a grievance about their parents?

== How is it argued against ==

* '''Kids don't know how to file one''' - then they won't file one. I believe at least one ~~person under the legal age~~ knows how to file one.

* '''Kids don't know how to file one''' - then they won't file one. I believe at least one minor knows how to file one.

* '''Kids will file frivolous ~~one~~''' - ~~if needed regulations may be passed to limit the impact. Complaints can be limited to - for example - one a week, and~~ obviously frivolous ~~ones~~ (~~based on set criteria~~) ~~may~~ be ~~replied with just~~ a ~~confirmation of receipt~~.

* '''Kids will file frivolous complaints''' - complaints that are obviously frivolous (needs to be defined) can be documented and left without a response.

* '''This law is useless''' - this happens with the most gross cases of abuse. Proving this would be sometimes easier than proving child abuse.

* '''It strains the system''' - ~~this right is key in minor's life. A~~ 100$ ticket ~~affect a life way less. Why~~ can the ~~ticket~~ be ~~taken~~ to ~~court~~, ~~and a minor doesn~~'t ~~have formal recourse against their parents.~~

* '''It strains the system''' - if you get a 100$ parking ticket, you can drag the case through the courts. If a minor is abused, why shouldn't they be allowed to do something about it. Also, don't you think inmates also abuse this right?
