MODERATORS
We have decided as a nation that children under a certain age are incapable of consenting to anything.
What age is that? Unless they're really young, isn't that somewhat denying their ability to make their own decisions? What if they truly want to work and make money or get experience at a younger age?
Somewhat, yes, and that's by design.
Kids under a certain age should not be held responsible for making all of their own life decisions. When kids grow up, if their parents doesn't suck, they get succesively more agency and responsibility, not making all of your own decisions is just part of being a kid.
