Children of prisoners
Children have a right to live with their family whenever that is possible and is what is best for them.
Sometimes it is not possible, for various reasons, like if a parent breaks the law and they are sent to prison.
There are other punishments like community service or probation yet children's rightts are rarely taken into account.
