Thank you - very well done - it is especially appreciated that you show your self - and it certainly doesn't hurt that you are a handsome looking man.

You obviously have put a lot of effort into this project and should be commended for that.

I am interested to know how you defend the 1st point - "consent of both child and adult". As we know, each country has their own "age of consent" laws and all children below the "age of consent" are deemed not to be able to give their consent as they are "under age". So, therefore how do you defend this point unless you say that any child at any age is "able" to give their consent? And, then the question is --> are they really able to give their consent? And how much does consent really matter?

My feeling is that the child, especially very young child, is not "able" or is not "competent" enough to give their consent.

But then, the whole consent issue can become pointless when you consider what might be in the best interest of the child or what one may believe that the child wants and/or needs.

Case in point - If it is 30 degrees below zero and the child doesn't want to wear any warm/protective clothing what would/should an adult do? Of course, any adult with at least half a brain is going to dress the child in warm clothing whether they want it or not - and it sure as hell won't matter to the adult that the child is not of "age of consent".

And then there is the whole argument about endangering the life of the child - which one would be doing if they did not force the child to wear the clothing in 30 degree below zero weather.

Geesh .. I think I may have come full circle on this one.

but it does bring me back to my original question - Do you feel that a child (below the age of lets say eight) is able to give their consent? And, why is consent so important if there are so many examples of adults disregarding a child's consent, i.e. feeding a child who is resisting being fed?
