Children Are Entitled to a Right Against Coercion
Coercion is imposing your will on someone else against their will. So that's what I would say for coercion. Children are entitled to a right against coercion because of the fact that they can learn, as opposed it's not just their current intelligence but when they could become creative and rational beings. A chimp has genetic knowledge, which allows a certain range of behaviors and things it can learn. But it's limited, whereas human creativity is not limited. And that applies equally to children as it does to adults.
