Do you think 15 year olds should vote? Do you think 14 year olds should vote? Do you think 13 year olds should vote? Do you think 12 year olds should be able to enter contracts? It's arbitrary but necessary. Children shouldn't be burdened with such responsibilities and freedom.

In fact a lot of people arguing for the status quo willingly admit this fact -- "Everyone screws up as a parent, it's a really hard job" -- while casually saying that the damage this does to children is okay and acceptable and that we can't possibly do better than that

As a practical matter tho, I can’t tell the future and even an expert on child development can be a crappy parent - people will make all kinds of mistakes, life happens, etc. so outside of granting telepathy or clairvoyance what are folks supposed to do?
