We all have rights, but when those rights threaten the collective rights of society, the overall well-being of society must prevail.

What has become of our collective responsibility when it comes to decision making and caring for those less fortunate?

As a society, we have collectively agreed that individuals who are less fortunate, the poor, the ill, the disabled, children, the elderly and the disenfranchised require and deserve our compassion, care, and support. Children, after individual assessment, which our society finds at risk mentally or physically, are taken into care/custody upon recommendation by social workers, health professionals and law enforcement. Often, they are removed from their families and communities, placed in care and provided with government support and oversight, all without individual consent.

As a society, we have agreed collectively that government has a responsibility to act on behalf of an individual who is not capable or able to exercise their rights and act for themselves.
