To be a disciplined citizen could be everyone's right and to make them disciplined is the duty of their parents and teachers. But it seems that the laws of the land give so much loopholes for the children to escape from the punishments, which their parents and teachers impose on them for discipline in particular and for the society in general.
The irony with law is that the ones who need it the most never gets benefited from it, whereas the ones who should be punished by the same always escape it.
There are various laws and establishments like Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Child Labour Act, Juvenile Justice Board, Human Rights Commission, Right to Information Act, Child Line, Integrated Child Protection Scheme, SPACE clubs by Legal Services Authority, Drugs Free School drive by the Excise Department etc. giving so much of right and security for the children.
Children are aware about their rights and the high intervention from the authority and the freedom they get from their rights always mislead them. The over confidence of getting protected from all their mischievous and in-disciplinary actions make them go to any extent, thus, increasing the chance of them turning out to be criminals. Thus, ironically rights are deterring children from getting disciplined.
Being scared of the law, majority of the parents and teachers spare the children who deserve to be punished or disciplined. There are certain parents who resort to blaming the teacher for the law breaking their children get into, and proceed to reprimand the authority thus, giving the children a wrong message. The teachers think why should they take the extra pain to make them disciplined and waste their life and career thrown into a prolonged legal battle.
The teachers, who are with no Rights in this scenario and whose disciplinary actions could easily be misinterpreted as crimes against children, are helpless to correct the children, who are armed with all the Rights.
