Innocence of children

 

Are children innocent?

No, I found most of the children are not innocent. But naturally, all the children should be innocent rather than some sinful or guilty children. 

The children who, are innocent, become sinful or guilty on growing up day by day. And children start to show unnatural characters as age rises up. 

Who is responsible for the declining innocence of children?

The innocence of children is declining due to some selfish role of parents. Perhaps all the children were to be innocent in past. But firstly parents are teaching more unnatural behavior now. Then our superstition in society, custom, etc teaches the children not to be innocent.

If someone comes to search father at home then the father teaches his children not to tell that person that he is staying at home. Father here unknowingly teaches his child To speak a lie.

Similarly the number of activities done by parents in front of children teaching sinful activities.

Many social activities compelling children to do their job/work in a specific way without knowing its meaning or whether it is correct or not? and so on.

These type activities make the children confuse to identify, whether are the natural or not? And I found most of them are un-natural, which helps the children in declining their natural innocence and becomes sinful or guilty.

Some socio-cultural habit inherited from parents, ancestors in the children varies from place to place. And that habit varies from place to place. Some support nature while some are not. These types of unnatural or confusing induced habits decline the innocence of children.

Who are children?

Biologically, a child (plural children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty, or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty. The legal definition of a child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. Children generally have fewer rights and less responsibility than adults. They are classed as unable to make serious decisions, and legally must be under the care of their parents or another responsible caregiver.

The child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age) or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance.

A child born with natural innocence to support nature by following the law of nature but  becomes  unnatural  by declining innocence on growing.
