I you have been reading my previous comments on this you would have read Our law as well and how citizenship can be lost if it is not reaffirmed according to procedures mandated by the State Department according to our laws.

Here is a link to my post on Our laws on that subject

No, I saw it. I just didn't have time to write a long message at the time. Good research on the law.
(a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality-
(1) obtaining naturalization in a foreign state upon his own application or upon an application filed by a duly authorized agent, after having attained the age of eighteen years; or
The key phrase is "after having attained the age of eighteen years". Basically they are saying that a parent cannot renounce a minor child's citizenship for them.
