The concept of what a kid is (offspring and de facto property of their parents, to be raised as they see fit within the bounds of the law), has been purposely destroyed. If kids don't belong to anyone, and have no connection to their people or ancestors, if they're "rugged individuals in the making", why wouldn't people assign fully autonomous agency to a child? The next step of saying "everyone is equal", regardless of sex or race is adding age to the list.

"Because no human difference has any significance," they will say, "there is no reason why this child cannot leave their home and parents, mutilate themselves, and then consent to living in my basement for my sick pleasure;" and fence-sitters will see that and say "Yup, that logic checks out!"
