Your Teen and the Law

Wednesday, 16 April 2008 @ 06:39 PM SGT Contributed by: Admin As parents, we know what is right and wrong and how to steer clear from breaking the law, but how much do we know (legally speaking) to guide our teens in their daily behavior? In today's fast-paced world of smses, high-speed broadband and mp3s / video downloads, can you recognize the fine line between what is legal and what is not? What are the penalties and how do the Singapore Courts view and deal with such behavior? Just as important, what if our kids were being bullied by others or are solicited by gangs? What are their rights and how would they go about protecting themselves? With promiscuity being more prevalent, what about underaged sex, substance-abuse etc? What are the legal implications that affect both local and foreign students, or if they so happen to be in the presence of such activities. Date: 24th April 2008 Topic: YOUR TEEN AND THE LAW by Ms. Melanie Ho, Singapore Association of Women Lawyers Time: Coffee and light refreshments 8.15 – 8.30am, Talk begins at 8.30am sharp to 11am Venue: Conference Room (administrative office block), ACS International RSVP: Limited seating; so it's "First come, first served"!
