maybe i am missing something then cause i cannot see what is arbitrary about laws pertaining to children. either you can or you can't; i dont see the gray area in this. then again, i am also not a lawyer.

It's the age itself that is arbitrary. Does childhood end at 16, 18, 21, or what? In the US, one can join the military when at 18, drink at 21, drive at 16 in most states and have sex at varying ages depending on what state one lives in.
