Restriction and Deprivation of Parental Rights in the Context of Enhancing the Social Role of the Family and Strengthening Traditional Spiritual and Moral Values

Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">The article is devoted to the problems of implementing the powers of guardianship and guardianship authorities in the field of deprivation and restriction of parental rights, taking a child away from parents, taking into account the orientation towards preserving a child in a blood family, in conditions of strengthening state policy to protect traditional family values, including the category of morality in the system of regulatory regulators of family law, the introduction in the Russian Federation of a ban on changing gender, propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations, preferences and pedophilia. The conducted survey of specialists of guardianship and guardianship authorities (N= 851 people) showed that these issues cause difficulties in applying them in practice and the need to include them in professional development programs. The article presents the results of the analysis of legislative practice, which showed that to date no special procedural regulations have been created for the consideration of such a category of cases. The authors propose to regulate a special procedure for the consideration of such cases by the courts, which should be based on combining legal means, social mechanisms, psychological diagnosis and expertise capable of ensuring socialisation and correction of the most difficult situations, adapting all means of assistance to the family, including temporary placement of the child in alternative families, to the main goal of preserving and reuniting the birth family.</p>
