In the past 16 year olds used to look as 12 year olds do now and 12 year olds were little children.

Lots of children were used and abused by people controlling them in the aristocracy.

That's just more evidence children need protecting.

Children are the most important thing in society, sure, I'm in line with that. Now, define what a child is? How many people in their 20s in today's times can still be considered children?
