Children are forced to follow the wishes of their parents as in the case of a child who wishes to convert but his parents are prohibited by treating neglect to this child, this is clearly contrary to Article 42 paragraph (2) of the Child Protection Act on Religion and Article 76B of the Child Protection Act on Abuse.
