3) Hold absolute; laws to provide reunification w/parents; require strict time period limits, and removal of parental rights; maintain the right of the child to live in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment, maintaining a permanent relationship with extended family members, and have a permanent home.

4) Design and implement laws to include a civil rights code for all children, which shall include enforcement requirements by the states, tied to, but NOT dependent on, federal funding of children's programs.
 

5) Define and implement within Children's Rights Laws "the best interest of the child" and require each state to include it in their state code.
