First provide the papers requested

Recently, Austin, TX police chief, Art Acevedo announced his intention to pursue a new law targeting “buzzed” driving. As a result, Texas lawmakers will introduce this legislation for consideration as soon as January 2011. Current Texas law considers operating a vehicle with a .08 or higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to be Driving While Under the Influence (DWI). Depending on a driver’s record, a DWI may be prosecuted as anything from a misdemeanor for first offense to a felony for multiple offenses. Punishments range from a fine, community service, suspended license, to jail time. The proposed legislation, however, would further target potentially impaired drivers by creating a new category called “Driving While Ability Impaired” (DWAI). Under this proposal, anyone operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol of .05-.07 could be convicted under a DWAI. Punishment levels for this conviction are pending a formal construction of the proposed law.

All states have laws against drunk driving, though they designate varying levels of blood alcohol concentration as DWI. Generally, however, a driver is considered to be under the influence when his or her BAC reaches levels at or above .08-1.0. Most states do not yet have laws addressing what is termed “buzzed” driving – driving while moderately impaired by alcohol. If the proposed DWAI law passed in Texas, however, it would not be the first state to do so. Colorado and New York State have already added this law to their books. As more states adopt the DWAI law, other states are likely to take notice. If these first adopters show positive progress, it is likely that the DWAI designation will emerge in other states.

With respect to the rights of children, the Convention on the Rights of a Child is an act from the United Nations that forces participating nations to honor the rights of minors. Kids who are below the age of 18 are protected under an umbrella of rights which apply to all children regardless of their religion, nationality or race. This edict guarantees that in each of these international locations, children are bound by the convention and may retain and secure their rights when they are available. These rights are essential in ensuring that youngsters are protected from kidnapping, exploitation, and trafficking at the very least.

In countries that are not under the protection of these laws, abuses of children are committed with such frequency that often times it becomes so normal that the importance of each event seems to become downplayed. In some countries such as Sudan and Albania, stories of orphaned and homeless kids left to escape to refugee camps are abound. Without any sanctuary and laws protecting these children, the kids are conscripted into militias that afford them their only means of survival.

Many of these crimes occur in our own country and it is the right and duty of family law attorneys to uphold the laws of this UN Convention for the rights of children. Youngsters who are injured or incapacitated due to struggle should be protected to the fullest capacity of the law, and no children should need to be forced into combat or to enlist in the armed forces as their only means of survival. The convention states that abduction, trafficking and exploitation of minors should be met with the full weight of the law.
