Discuss the concept of Parens Patriae
What will be an ideal response?
The term parens patriae is a Latin term used to signify the role of the king as the father of his country. The term was originally used by kings to establish their right to intervene in the lives of the children of their vassals. As time went on, the American courts caught onto the term and used it as a legal basis for intervening in the lives of children. The child savers used this term to help the lives of poor and immigrant children. The child-saving movement of the late 1800s brought about the first independent juvenile court.
