An essay on parents’ responsibilities at masters’ level

Out of the many essays that a student may be assigned before completing education is the assignment to write an essay on parents responsibilities at masters level.

Any essay from a student who is at master’s level of education should satisfy a certain criteria that reflect that the writer of the essay is indeed a very well learned individual who is deserving of a masters degree. This implies that the kind of vocabularies and language used for such an essay should be befitting that which is expected of a masters level student and the essay written by such a student should be free of any of the common misstates that characterize essays written by students of inferior academic levels.

In this case where one is required to write about the responsibilities of a parent, the essay could look something like this: It is commonly asserted in legal and moral grounds that the special relationship that children share with their parents places the parent in a position to act in such a way that they are careful in their actions.

There is a possibility that a child may bring such an action against a parent for damages by the child all edging that he received injuries due to the failure of the parent, who is deemed as the individual in control of the child’s life, to take good and reasonable care of the child. It is not easy to set the standard of what care parents should offer their children and this is illustrated by the difficulty that the judiciary is facing in setting up such a standard especially in situations where children have been reported to be under the care of schools or foster homes while the local authority being the defendant.

There are no existing cases that have been brought against parents. As a result of this, to data, despite the special relationship, the common law of negligence presents a hypothetical possibility, instead of a realistic possibility, in shaping the legal obligations that a parent has towards his or her child. In Surtees vs. Hudges the standard of care that was imposed on the parents was determined in action regarding severe burns sustained on the foot of the claimant as a two year old toddler in foster care.

Much of the facts under consideration are considered together with the disputed facts surrounding the injuries that took place about 23 years before the trial took place. The issue at hand that was to be determined in the case was whether the foster mother left the two year old unattended with a bowl containing very hot water, left the child alone in the bathroom sink in a tub containing hot water, or left the child alone in the bathroom in a laundry basket by the sink and the child placed her foot, while playing or searching for something, on the hot water tap, opening it in the process.
