but using your own thoughts and values in doing so, rather than looking at it from the anarchists' point of view.
Per the coiner of the term "anarcho-capitalism", and it's most well known advocate, Murray Rothbard, children have the natural right to run away from home if they like and their parents have no right to use any sort of force to bring them back or to make them stay.
If they are deemed to have the right to go off and live in the woods by themselves at 4 years old, one would think that they also have a right to determine whether or not they want to get naked with some nice guy (or gal) when they are 8 years old, no? If not, please explain your reasoning.
It should also be pointed out that anarchists are against any government having a right to impose its will upon anyone who does not willingly accept their authority and is not on any property under the jurisdiction of said government. Under that scenario, no laws of any government that child molester (or those molesters if more than one) does not willingly submit to would apply to him/her/them.
If you disagree, please explain why.
