I talk about protections and human rights of children on a regular basis, however, It's not that I like children.
It is rather difficult for me to deal with children.
I will want to hook and kick children who run on a train, and,
I will change the cargo when a bunch of children rides on for school excursion.
I mean, in my mind,
there are difference between children as a concept and children as an entity.
In particular, I don't think that it is contradiction, or vice.

Children are absolutely "deserve protections" for me.
The reason is "a society that children cannot feel happy" is "a society that all people cannot feel happy"
I don't have intention to sprinkle with fine phrases as the above.
In my case, when I was a child, I felt more unhappy overwhelmingly.
- classfellows who were childish, foolish and naive
- teachers who could not explain the background of meaningless school rule
- presidents who just speak abstract theory which is meaningless and not fun with collecting all the students.
Anyway, if I were told that "I am going to do my child again," I will flee with full power.
-----
For me, the reasons why children should be "protected" are
- they are important social components,
- they are producers and consumers,
- they are engines for keeping society changing according to the environment,
moreover,
at the moment, they do not know "yet" the weapons that protect themselves - how to use social welfare systems, the basic knowledge of the law, the means of escape from violence and abuse.
I think that this is "unfairness".
Separately, although I am not disadvantaged, I think "I feel bad".
I don't have so bad personality, with thinking that "the next generation can be unhappy because I was unlucky as a child,
If there are something like "misfortune production equipments"(In the case of children, school, friends and so on), I would like to "reform" them, and even if it is difficult, I think that I will "destroyed" them.
-----
I will do my best for children who "are protected as a concept".
I will expect your efforts for children who "are protected as a entity".
