That said, whoever said "kids rights supersede all" should be shot. Kids are subordinates until they can think rationally about life's choices. If we lived by your logic, it would be illegal for parents to force their kids to go to school, drink their milk, or take their naps. Kids need discipline, and as such, kids have no more rights than the next person.
I think the point is that because kids are subordinates, they are at our mercy for us to do what is right for them. When we ignore that obligation, we ignore our duty as rationally thinking adults.
