Christ's death and resurrection, and the parenting values that advanced (dormant for many centuries)

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Many people like to think the concept of children's rights and child abuse prevention is a secular issue, marred by religion. I beg to differ. Children's rights started with Christ, as Christ was the first children's rights advocate.

Christ was executed by way of Roman law, by the authority of Pontius Pilate, and rose on the third day. From that point on, a Christian community, a Church, arose - a loose confederation of parishes making up a larger Christian community. How is this monumental for children? The Bible is a children's rights document.

God's Law considers any form of control, coercion, or negligence in a family home to be abuse, with the entitlement leading to it being denoted by the Greek root word πγεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés). These values were, in fact, alien to Western society before Christ's death and resurrection, and were mainly Hebraic values held by pro-Roman Christian church communities.

This is one aspect of the consequences of Christ's death - the spread of Judaeo-Christian values around the Western hemisphere, including the United States of America. America is a Christian country, and was borne out of Christian family values. Those values include non-entitlement and individual responsibility - including in parents. This is how the Bible is supposed to be used.

Corporal punishment is not a Christian tradition, but a pagan and idolatrous one, and legal defenses of "reasonable chastisement" are from Roman law, not Jewish law. Both influence our modern legal system in the United States, which is based off of the English common law. It is a form of Catholic infiltration of Christian theology. Spanking comes from the concept of patrias potestas, a pagan and idolatrous family doctrine that says that the father owns all in a home. In reality, the mother and father own the estate, with collaboration that convicts husbands and fathers to provide. 

If it weren't for Christ, children wouldn't have the rights they already have. More are on the way.
