Read a random definition: Wisby, laws of

A quick definition of parental rights:

Parental rights refer to the rights that a parent has to make decisions about their child's care, education, discipline, and property. These rights are important because they allow parents to take care of their children and make sure they are safe and happy. Sometimes, if a parent is not able to take care of their child properly, their parental rights may be taken away. This is called termination of parental rights, and it means that the parent is no longer responsible for the child and someone else can adopt them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Parental rights refer to a parent's legal authority to make decisions about their child's care, custody, education, discipline, and property.

For example, a parent has the right to decide where their child will live, what school they will attend, and how they will be raised. They also have the right to discipline their child and manage any money or property the child may have.

However, in some cases, a parent's rights may be terminated. This means that the parent's legal authority over their child is taken away, and the child may be placed for adoption. This typically happens when a parent is deemed unfit or unable to care for their child.

Overall, parental rights are important because they allow parents to make decisions that are in the best interest of their child and ensure that the child is properly cared for and protected.
