Children’s rights should be defined, in language they can understand

Having read the Referendum Commissioner’s Independent Guide, I consider this referendum a waste of time and money.

It will do little to prevent the abuse of children.

The Independent Guide refers to the “natural and imprescriptible rights of the child”, and defines “imprescriptible” as meaning “cannot be lost by the passage of time, or abandoned by non-exercise, or lost or forfeited through the wrongful act of a third party”.
