Children are not entitled to autonomy - they do not have freedom of movement in general, freedom of employment etc...
Privacy, like any other form of autonomy, is in control of the parent and should be given out as part of the educational process.
18 perhaps is too old for the state to grant independence, but that's a problem in general and not restricted to privacy.

- photochemsyn 4y agoI recently saw a short video by Syria's Assad in which he argues that parents should be able to dictate their religious beliefs to their children, rather than allowing children to decide their religious beliefs on their own initiative. It's somewhat less extreme than the old medieval feudal that the feudal lord should be able to dictate their religious beliefs to their serf population, but not really by much. Freedom of choice with respect to religious beliefs, and legal bans on religious discrimination, are a fundamental necessity in any democratic system of government. Additionally, children do have the right to privacy, just as adults do.
