I get it now.

Your liber(al)tarian position is that “goobermint” (how puerile!) has no right to enact any laws governing children at all, since they apparently “belong” to the parents sort of like possessions.

So if the parents think the child is ready to have sex at 12, the “goobermint” has no say in the matter. Or at an even earlier age, I guess.

Since liber(al)tarians also want prostitution legal, I wonder if your position holds that money can change hands when these 12 year olds have sex with 30 year olds.

Oops - 38 year olds.

Arf, Arf, ARF! I think I hear the sounds of straw dogs baying.

If we can stick to the subject, specifically, “Who should decide?”
