Broadly speaking legal debates over children can be broken down into two camps. First, those who emphasise the vulnerability of children. For them rights designed to protect children from abuse and promote their welfare are the most significant. Second, those who claim that children are far less vulnerable than is assumed and should be given many of the freedoms of adults. For them rights of autonomy and freedom should be emphasised. This paper will argue that both camps make the error of starting with the norm of adulthood being a time of invulnerability and independence from which children are either distinguished or are closer to than is normally appreciated. Once it is recognised that adults share in children’s vulnerability, we can see that childhood vulnerability is not something which children should be enabled to escape from, nor is it something that is unique to children. 2023-09-20T09:19:56Z 2023-09-20T09:19:56Z 2022 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11196-022-09951-0 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9122 en application/pdf Springer
