Right, or Privilege?

I have a question...well it isn't one question but rather a series of interlinking questions, some of which may be rhetorical, but all of which are applicable to my subject matter:

Are mothers, fathers, and children all separate entities (maybe entity isn't the best word)?

And if so, do mothers, fathers, and children all have individual rights?

And/or do the rights of mothers, fathers, and children, as separate individuals, infringe on each others' rights?

And if so, what is the order of preference if you have to rank the rights of mothers, fathers, and children? (Who comes first?)

Are children people/citizens, or are they objects?

Now think of the answers in the context of children (and mothers) as victims of a crime, and as witnesses of a crime.

What are their (children's) rights under the constitution? with respect to violence/crime?

Should parental privilege take precedence over the emotional, psychological, and physical safety/well-being of children?

Do my rights as a mother, a human being, a U.S. citizen infringe on the rights of our abuser?

And if someone must decide my rights for me, or determine if my actions are appropriate under the Constitution, who might this person be? and what makes them qualified to do so?
