Charges are, in a nutshell, persons incapable of making decisions for themselves. Yep, children are on the same field as brain-dead vegetables and feeble-minded seniors. And since "pagan" is a word used to describe a whole slew of religious/theological beliefs, no, it's not considered a religion.

Being a charge does not trump basic human rights, so, like brain-dead vegetables and feeble-minded seniors, children have basic human rights on a legal level and other levels too. I'm not familiar with the "right to not be fucked with unneccesarily" thing, which I'm guessing is one of those pre-packed apologetic arguments, but if I were, I wouldn't use it.
Unless that's what human rights are.
In which case I suppose I am.
