The Right of a Child Staying Beyond its Family to Religious Practices

Abstract

The subject of the foregoing considerations is the rights of a child staying beyond a family to churchgoing which expresses the right to benefiting from the religious freedom. The guarantees are included in international documents as in the Polish law. They mainly come from the child's membership of a particular church or a religious group with regulated law position. The fact of staying beyond home comes from various circumstances, like illness, recreation or law breaking. However, independently from the reasons of staying beyond home, the range of the guarantees is similar.
