> It shouldn't be everyone else's problem that people are unwilling to parent their children. There would be legal consequences if a child were to walk into a store and purchased age restricted products. It is because others are not allowed to interfere with the parenting of children. (Some, albeit not all, age restricted products allow for parental discretion rather than being an outright prohibition.) There are also other ways of looking at this, such as protecting vulnerable populations from exploitation. (Such as the sale of addictive substances like alcohol and tobacco to minors.) I would consider framing the issue as offloading parental responsibilities onto society as disingenuous at best.
