It's not "indirection" because most kids can't consent. The ones who can - according to the Mature Minor Doctrine - must also have evaluation+approval from a healthcare provider. Adults can usually tell the difference between can, should, and must but many kids implicitly trust adults, especially those who seem important - see: Milgram experiment for an adult example - so an official postcard may be taken as a demand instead of an opportunity. Similarly, the police shouldn't talk to your kids without your consent either. It protects everyone.
