Finally, the right to continued support for invalids and the elderly by the religious community shall be applied evenhandedly both to those remaining members in good standing and those who have chosen apostasy after a productive lifetime within the community. Right of Children to a Future with Some Degree of Free Choice Children being raised within the religious community because one or both of their parents are members of the community are entitled to special consideration. It must be remembered that, unlike their parents, they have not freely chosen this way of life. Therefore, every effort will be made to assure that these children learn something of the outside world and of how to survive in the outside world so that they are not deprived, upon reaching adulthood, of the ability to choose freely whether to continue in this way of life. It is also acknowledged by the religious community that it has a special obligation to provide avenues of continuing communication between the child living in the community and close kin living outside the community.
Every child growing up in the community is entitled to an education.
This education shall not be limited in such a way to deny the child any effective choice upon reaching adulthood as to whether to stay in the community or to leave. The child's close relatives not living in the community have a right to see the child's educational records at least once a year and to see the results of any standardized tests that the child takes. The community shall define its health maintenance procedures in writing with particular attention to ways in which the community's health philosophy differs from that of the secular society. This document shall be freely available. Interested third parties, especially relatives not living in the community, have a right to expect community cooperation in their efforts to examine the non-confidential health records of community members or children.
