Human dignity does not enjoy an express statement in the system of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), but jurisprudentially it is considered as a directorial principle. The compliance of the right to dignity is considered as the base of all the other individual rights. In the same time, this principle is being invoked also for the limitation of the individual's freedom in relation with the values generally recognized by the society. The right to dignity belongs to each human being from the birth, and for children it presents a series of particularities, given the specificity of this type of owner. The compliance with the child's right to dignity generates certain obligations which the parents, legal representatives or the state through its institutions are compelled to respect for it to achieve its purpose. Starting from these considerations, the current paper aims to emphasize the means in which the European Court of Human Rights recognizes and guarantees through its jurisprudence the child's dignity.

There is a legal obligation between parents and their children, represented by a specific duty, given its purpose, to ensure the material conditions necessary to fulfil their role in the raising, education and professional training of the child. This is also seen as the most important obligation, given a high number of legal suits brought before the courts involve this very obligation. In this context, the present article seeks to analyse the legal stipulations and the judicial practice in this field, by highlighting the new elements in the current regulation.

Law is a creation of the social body. However, the norm, once established, it tends to create patterns the individual must match. Depending on the compatibility of social consciousness with the normal reality, the latter is or is not observed. If the law's function is to express society values it regulates, the more this role is amplified within a Code. Codes, expression of the systematization and rationalization of law, have continued to evolve both substantially and formally with the changes occurred at the level of collective consciousness; in terms of their composition, are often felt the lines the politics, economics or religiosity have drawn so that legal reality the Code „describes” to be the transposition, as accurate as possible, of the social reality. Today, the purpose of the enactment is not always achieved as there are „laws that are stillborn” since reality is not found in the rule or the individuals do not consider the rules as ordering in respect of a real state of affairs and therefore they do not observe the rules and do not consider the norms as part of the legal system.
