The extreme libertine libertarian will claim that: 1 - a child is a 'free adult' when he can support himself

Enjoy arguing with the strawmen in your head.

That is right out of an early LP platform. So yes, straw, like the majority of their lightweight, sophomoronic arguments.

However, children always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights, ending dependency upon their parents or other guardians, and assuming all responsibilities of adulthood. A child is a human being and, as such, deserves to be treated justly.

See? Since the LP considers laws against pornography and prostitution violations of individual liberty, and since children "always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights", then my point is valid, right?
