children's wishes considered following the 1989 Children Act however James et al say less effective than supposed because they identified two images that professionals use to idnetify childhood and they are: the child as an age based status and 2nd the child as a kinship /generational status p. 197 both firmly rooted in the developmental paradigm. so adults determine for children the right thing to do by the child thus denying them their agency.
Cases demonstrate where adults have made decisions that go against the child's wishes.
