​A member of the Federation Council introduced a bill introducing a new form of parental responsibility - a written warning that is issued before the deprivation of parental rights or their limitation. The senator presented a project to amend the Family Code at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building.

“We propose to introduce a new form into the Family Code - a warning to parents, this is the easiest form of responsibility. After which there is a restriction and deprivation of parental rights,” Interfax quotes Mizulina. According to her, this rule should be applied “if sufficient grounds for limiting parental rights have not been established.”

In addition, Mizulina proposed reducing the number of grounds on which parental rights can be deprived or limited. In her opinion, poverty, poor living conditions, arrears in paying housing and communal services, lack of registration should not be grounds for restriction, and evasion of child support or alcoholism should not be grounds for deprivation of parental rights, the senator believes. The latter, in her opinion, should be considered a basis for restricting rights, since “those with alcoholism have a chance to recover.”

If the parents have committed a deliberate crime, then their parental rights can be deprived only after the court decision has entered into legal force, Mizulina suggested. In the event of an acquittal, she said, “the investigation could last for years, and the child will be in an orphanage all this time. Only a court verdict that has entered into legal force is the basis for deprivation of parental rights. And we also need to look at what kind of crime the person committed,” the senator clarified. The bill also proposes to legalize the possibility of canceling adoption within the first three years. “And after the expiration of the period, the adoptive parent is equal to the parent. If he wants to refuse, it means deprivation of parental rights,” she explained.

In recent months, Mizulina has come up with several legislative initiatives. In June 2016, the State Duma registered her bill banning baby boxes. It proposes to punish legal entities with a fine of 1 million to 5 million rubles for the creation of “specialized places for the anonymous abandonment of a child.” or apply to them “administrative suspension of activities for up to 90 days.” In October, the government refused to approve this bill and.

Mizulina protecting the family


The media are actively discussing the latest fake legislative initiatives from Federation Council member Elena Mizulina.

Antonio Fernandez was born Cerezales del Condando into a poor family among 13 brothers and sisters. At the age of 14, he was forced to leave school in order to help his loved ones. Fernandez then went to Mexico, where he got a job at a brewery. Subsequently, he opened his own brewing production and became the founder of one of the most famous beer brands.

Fernandez died at the age of 99 in August 2016, leaving no children. According to relatives of the “beer king”, the message about millions for all residents of Cerezales del Condando is an invention of journalists. In his will, Antonio mentioned only the numerous children of his 13 brothers and sisters, many of whom had no longer lived in the village.

In Cerezales del Condando, Fernandez is remembered with gratitude for the fact that during his lifetime he brought new pipelines here, repaired roads and a church, and founded a cultural center. Local residents are not upset that they did not become millionaires.

UFO over Japan

A Japanese teenager managed to film a video of an unidentified flying object that appeared in the skies over Fukushima province immediately after a strong earthquake that occurred on the night of November 22. He suggested that there was an alien spaceship in the frame and nothing else.

However, the head of the Kosmopoisk research association, ufologist Vadim Chernobrov, denied the version of an alien arrival. In his opinion, the unidentified object in the video is a plane illuminated by the sun.

“Unfortunately, the solution turned out to be more banal than the legend about it. From the analysis of the video that our colleagues from Japan sent us, it follows that a large twin-engine plane flying was caught in the frame. Since the filming was done towards the setting sun, it is clear that in the frame there is an airplane contrail, illuminated by the sun, which is already below the horizon,” he told NSN.

“It’s not every day in ordinary life that you can see such a combination of the location of planes in the sky, the trail, the sun and the special state of the atmosphere. Plus to this we must add the probability of how the trace will be located in the sky relative to the observer. All these conditions can play a cruel joke on any person, sometimes leading to shock and awe of professional astronomers,” the ufologist assured.

During the discussion of amendments to the Family Code, we talked about the dangers of feminism and the ban on abortion

The adoption of a juvenile “spanking law”, fraught with the deprivation of parental rights for acts of this kind, will lead to the outbreak of mass unrest in the country. This was stated on October 27 in the Federation Council by participants in the hearing “Main directions for improving family legislation in Russia at the present stage,” at which Deputy. Head of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction Elena Mizulina presented her amendments to the Family Code.

The letter of the draft law prepared by the working group headed by Mizulina is simple. Firstly, it is proposed to introduce an additional, lightest measure of legal responsibility for parents for neglecting their responsibilities - a written warning issued by the guardianship authorities. (Our current family law knows only two measures: temporary or complete deprivation of parental rights, and the overwhelming majority of court decisions are made in favor of the latter). Secondly, the number of clear reasons for deprivation of parental rights is reduced to two - the mother’s refusal to pick up her baby from the maternity hospital and the court’s refusal to restore parental rights after their temporary restriction.

But this is a letter. In practice, the introduction of this norm means the abolition of Art. 116 of the Family Code, according to which now, in order to criminally prosecute parents and then, possibly, deprive them of parental rights, a child’s statement to the police is sufficient that as a result of physical upbringing he simply experienced pain - bruises or scratches are not required. And this clear anti-juvenile focus is the “spirit” of the bill.

Yes, now the words “juvenile justice” are not in our legislation. But according to the methodology, it exists, it has many supporters in our country,” Mizulina said. - Meanwhile, our family legislation must be safe for children and families! We will not have European family “law without borders”, because as soon as we open the borders, Russia ceases to exist!

The topic of Russian supporters of juvenile justice and the threat posed by them was eagerly taken up by the head of the Patriarchal Commission for Family, Motherhood and Childhood, Archpriest Dimitri:

We are often offered solutions that can harm our family, and therefore our state! Many of our citizens - let's call them that - are in line with the Council of Europe, although it has already taken off all its masks and does not hide its anti-Russian course. As a result, the family is not currently protected enough! It is necessary to restore the presumption of innocence of parents and stop opposing the interests of parents and children. The family must be completely protected from any arbitrariness, including unjustified and arbitrary intrusions into its affairs from the outside!

At the same time, it is necessary not only to reject juvenile bills, the shepherd especially emphasized, but “to remember well the people who promote them in order to carefully analyze all other bills prepared by them.” As for domestic violence, all talk about its existence is a complete lie. “We now register any union of people as a family,” he explained, clearly referring to civil marriages. “That’s where most of the violence happens.” But a real family is completely safe for a woman. So our violence is not family, but anti-family!”

Along with the civil marriage, I inherited from Father Dimitri emancipation with feminism. “The main danger of feminism,” he is sure, “is a woman’s increased focus not on family values, but on her career. And her main task is not to work, but to raise children and be a homemaker.” Well, of course, abortion must be banned, the archpriest has no doubt. At least free, covered by compulsory health insurance payments.

Another addition from the hearing participants to Mizulina’s bill was the exclusion from the current law of the right of a child over 14 years of age to independently file a complaint with the court about the parents’ improper performance of their duties - they believe that only the guardianship and trusteeship authorities have the right to do this.

And the representative of one of the most organized “anti-juvenile” forces in Russia - “All-Russian Parental Resistance” - Maria Mamikanyan bluntly stated:

The dissatisfaction of Russians with the “quiet” introduction of juvenile technologies in Russia that has been going on for two years is so great that about 600 protests against the “spanking law” were held across the country and more than 200 thousand signatures of those who disagreed with its introduction were collected. He will never be accepted by the country! And if this negative response from the country is not heard, then there will be a risk of a serious threat to the calm and peaceful development of our country!

Truly family values ​​are above all.
