Wrong. For some number of years (exact number depending on where you live) they are citizens, but not yet fully fledged - they are minors.

As such, it's the parents responsibility tp look after the child.
John, when a child is born and, G-d forbid, dies for any reason - is it an obligation of the state to actually find out why? If a child is born do they immediately get their most basic right to actually live in this country? If a child is born - is she or he protected by the state?
If so, my argument still stands. Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
