Yeah, that’s a good point. Hard to say at what age it’s okay for children to protest. I guess it depends on the maturity of the child and how well they understand what they are doing and the risks. Also to what extent was it the child’s decision to come out vs. the parents encouraging or bringing the child themselves. It’d be a good subject for discussion on the site.
