The capacity to exercise choice over every specific matter is not the foundation of inalienable rights. If inalienable rights exist at all they exist as defined. They are based on an endowment not granted by the government and not subject to control of the government, to do so would be to violate them. A government may however, enact laws to protect them. That was the whole point in declaring them in the first place. The best interests of a child are entrusted to society and more specifically to those guardians who are expected to serve and protect those interests. Inalienable rights do not exhaust the moral domain, anymore than they entitle one to act capriciously with respect to any and all endeavors without responsibility for the consequence. Criminal conduct is not an extension of inalienable rights nor is the bratty behavior of a child. Guardian ship to ensure the interests of children are protected and promoted, does not entitle children to act against cultural mores, the rule of law or household guidelines, nor do those constructs vacate the inalienable rights of a child.
