上海出台政策完善困境儿童保障体系   2017-05-23

 

RULES have changed on guardianship to protect children’s rights.

According to a policy released yesterday, relatives, neighborhood committees, civil affairs departments, schools, hospitals and related organizations can submit applications to a court to revoke the guardianship of parents or authorized guardians if they refuse to perform their custody duties for more than six months.

In other circumstances, parents or guardians may also face risk of losing their custody rights, such as in cases of children being endangered by being left unattended, or impairing children’s physical and metal health by violently abusing, maltreating or abandoning them.
