Yes, and they should be kept in cells and forced to power our homes by running on treadmills until they are deemed to be thin enough to be released back into society.

Or possibly it's implicit that when discussing free will and choice, the arguments rarely apply to children (or the insane, who are surprisingly similar to children in so many ways) as they have both diminished capacity to understand their choices and an even more circumscribed ability to implement choices that go against the dictates of the figures placed in authority over them.
