Parental authority should be restricted and children from their parents should be separated only in exceptional cases. Frequent state intervention in family life may protect the child from possible damage to the life, health or development. Legal regulation of parental authority restriction is not sufficient in order to protect children's rights properly. Protection of children's rights is not effective because the children protection institutions in the Republic of Lithuania does not have authorizations to provide the necessary assistance for the family, to take measures to prevent taking a child away from the family and only passive monitoring of the situation has a negative impact on children and do not protect their interests. |
