I disagree, when it comes to minors. Minors/children/adult dependants often lack the mental ability to make decisions or to understand the possible outcome of the decisions they make.
Adults can do whatever the hell they want.
Many minors don't have good/proper parents. This story is a great example. If parents are making bad decisions for their child then I believe the state should step into protect the child. Obviously, it would be situations of an extreme nature.
If parents can't/won't protect their children then someone needs to.
