The Children's Rights Alliance for England has just written a report about how  well England is doing on improving Children's Rights. England has never fully signed up to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the report - 'State of Children's Rights in England' - says the Government isn't doing what the UN reccomended in a lot of areas either.

The report also says: 'coming in the same year that more than 50 young people have died following a knife or gun attack... the lack of ministerial courage to end all forms of violence in the family home is wearing thin'. Some people have said that comparing gun crime to smacking by parents at home isn't fair - and some young people have even argued that being smacked was good for them.

So how many rights are enough - and is there such a thing as too much protection?
