Parents' Bill of Rights

Commercial Alert proposes a "Parents' Bill of Rights" to help parents combat the commercial influences that prey upon their children and that promote products and values of which parents do not approve.

The nine provisions of the Parents’ Bill of Rights would help right the balance between parents and the commercial culture and would enable parents to reduce the role of the latter in their childrens' lives if they so choose.
