I'm guessing this mismatch is a question of differing life views/philosophies; as a general rule, for me, it is absolutely my responsibility as a parent to educate my daughter to make sure she can evaluate risk "properly" and then, it is on her* to decide how to manage that, always knowing that are people out there that will attempt to harm you. This clearly means that we sometimes will get it wrong but, in my mind, you will not reduce those risks with a technical solution as this applies to all facets of your life, online or otherwise, and you will be opening doors that can backfire too much. *age matters a lot but that is a different discussion by itself

Looking at an extreme case, do you think it would be reasonable to make guns available to all children, at all ages, and trust children and parents to ensure that everyone is safe? If not (and I'm assuming not, let me know if you do think that's reasonable!), there is some space for laws which restrict children, in return for increasing their safety -- we just have to discuss where that line should be.
